WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.359 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:12.939 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. 00:00:12.939 --> 00:00:20.489 A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah). 00:00:20.489 --> 00:00:24.820 The Unjust Boycott. 00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:26.730 Ibn Ishaq said: 00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:31.809 When the Quraysh saw that the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:36.570 had settled in a land where they found security and stability, 00:00:36.570 --> 00:00:40.850 and that the Negus had protected those who sought refuge with him, 00:00:40.850 --> 00:00:44.369 and that ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, had embraced Islam, 00:00:44.369 --> 00:00:52.850 and that he, along with Hamza Ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, may Allah be pleased with him, were with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and his companions, 00:00:52.850 --> 00:00:56.090 and that Islam began to spread among the tribes, 00:00:56.090 --> 00:01:00.170 they gathered and conspired among themselves to write a document. 00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:04.730 In it, they pledged against the Banu Hashim and the Banu al-Muttalib, 00:01:04.730 --> 00:01:08.890 that they would neither marry their women nor give their own women in marriage to them, 00:01:08.890 --> 00:01:13.340 and that they would neither sell anything to them nor buy anything from them. 00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:17.739 When they agreed upon this, they wrote it down on a scroll. 00:01:17.739 --> 00:01:21.359 Then they made a covenant and bound themselves to it. 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:27.189 They then hung the scroll inside the Ka‘bah to reinforce their commitment. 00:01:27.189 --> 00:01:29.950 When the Quraysh did this, 00:01:29.950 --> 00:01:35.950 the Banu Hashim and the Banu al-Muttalib withdrew to Abu Talib Ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib. 00:01:35.950 --> 00:01:39.510 They entered his mountain pass (shi‘b) and gathered around him. 00:01:39.510 --> 00:01:48.170 However, Abu Lahab ‘Abd al-‘Uzza Ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib left the Banu Hashim to join the Quraysh and supported them. 00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:51.010 The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) recorded in their Sahih collections, 00:01:51.010 --> 00:01:54.329 on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: 00:01:54.329 --> 00:01:59.849 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to us while we were at Mina: 00:01:59.849 --> 00:02:03.609 "We shall encamp tomorrow at Khayf Banu Kinanah," 00:02:03.609 --> 00:02:06.640 where they had sworn an oath of disbelief. 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.919 This was because the Quraysh and the Banu Kinanah 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.800 had formed an alliance against the Banu Hashim and the Banu al-Muttalib, 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.280 that they would neither intermarry with them nor trade with them, 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.840 until they handed over the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to them. 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.360 Abu Dawud added in his Sunan, 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:26.919 Al-Zuhri said: 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.819 "The Khayf is the valley." 00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:32.180 Imam al-Nawawi said: 00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:34.819 The meaning of "sworn an oath of disbelief" 00:02:34.819 --> 00:02:37.580 is that they formed an alliance and a covenant upon it. 00:02:37.580 --> 00:02:42.419 This refers to their alliance to expel the Prophet, peace be upon him, 00:02:42.419 --> 00:02:47.340 and the Banu Hashim and the Banu al-Muttalib from Makkah to that mountain pass, 00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:49.780 which is the Khayf of Banu Kinanah. 00:02:49.780 --> 00:02:53.139 They wrote the famous scroll among themselves, 00:02:53.139 --> 00:03:01.229 and in it, they inscribed various forms of falsehood, severing of kinship ties, and disbelief. 00:03:01.270 --> 00:03:07.080 The Annulment of the Scroll and the End of the Boycott. 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.680 Then, some of the men of the Quraysh who were displeased with that scroll 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.080 sought to have it annulled. 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.199 Hisham Ibn ‘Amr Ibn al-Harith stood up, 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.560 and walked to al-Mut‘im Ibn ‘Adi, 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.879 along with a group from the Quraysh, 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.550 and they responded favorably to his request. 00:03:25.550 --> 00:03:30.349 Allah, the Exalted, had informed His Messenger, peace be upon him, 00:03:30.349 --> 00:03:32.669 about the matter of their scroll, 00:03:32.669 --> 00:03:35.110 and that He had sent termites upon it, 00:03:35.110 --> 00:03:40.229 which consumed everything in it that contained injustice, severing of ties, and oppression. 00:03:40.229 --> 00:03:43.469 He informed his uncle, Abu Talib, of this. 00:03:43.469 --> 00:03:49.979 Abu Talib went out to the Quraysh and told them what his nephew, peace be upon him, had said. 00:03:49.979 --> 00:03:53.219 They entered the Ka‘bah and brought down the scroll, 00:03:53.219 --> 00:03:58.819 and it was exactly as the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had described. 00:03:58.860 --> 00:04:02.860 Then the Banu Hashim and the Banu al-Muttalib returned to Makkah. 00:04:04.469 --> 00:04:09.759 A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah). 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:14.580 Authored by Shaykh Musa Ibn Rashid al-‘Azimi. 00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:21.480 Presented by the Mawaddah Society in the Kingdom of Bahrain. 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:28.360 If the longing of the worlds for one another grows long, 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:35.420 the longing for you, O Messenger of Allah, has no limit. 00:04:35.420 --> 00:04:41.959 May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised, 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:48.339 and as long as the lips move in remembrance. 00:04:48.339 --> 00:04:50.339 Healing.
