The Messenger of Allah's Preparation to March to Uhud
0:36
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stood up,
0:40
Entered his home, and put on his battle armor,
0:43
Donning two coats of chainmail over one another.
0:45
Indeed, Imam al-Tirmidhi narrated in his Jami' with a good chain of transmission
0:50
From al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
0:54
"The Prophet, peace be upon him, wore two coats of chainmail on the Day of Uhud."
1:00
And in the narration of Imam Ahmad and Ibn Majah with an authentic chain
1:05
From al-Sa'ib ibn Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
1:09
"The Prophet, peace be upon him, combined two coats of chainmail on the Day of Uhud."
1:15
The resolve of those Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) had weakened,
1:20
And they said:
1:21
"We opposed the opinion of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him."
1:26
So when the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, came out to them,
1:31
They said, "O Messenger of Allah, remain in Medina, for the decision is yours."
1:36
Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
1:40
"It is not befitting for a prophet to lay down his armor after putting it on,
1:45
Until Allah judges between him and his enemy."
1:49
And Imam al-Bukhari stated in his Sahih:
1:54
"Once the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, has resolved,
1:58
It is not for any human to put themselves forward before Allah and His Messenger.
2:04
The Prophet, peace be upon him, consulted his Companions on the Day of Uhud regarding staying or marching out,
2:11
And their opinion was for him to go out.
2:14
But when he put on his armor and firmly resolved,
2:17
They said, 'Remain here.'
2:19
Yet he did not incline toward their request after making the firm resolution,
2:22
And said:
2:23
'It is not befitting for a prophet who dons his armor to remove it until Allah decides.'"
2:29
The Messenger of Allah's Departure to Uhud
2:36
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, announced to the people to march out against the enemy.
2:43
So the Messenger of Allah set out with one thousand fighters among the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them),
2:51
Including the hypocrites,
2:53
Led by 'Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul.
2:57
Turning Back Those Deemed Too Young Among the Companions
3:03
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, reached a place called al-Shaykhayn, he encamped there.
3:12
He then began inspecting his army,
3:14
And turned back whoever he deemed too young and unable to bear combat.
3:19
Among them were 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar ibn al-Khattab,
3:24
Zayd ibn Thabit,
3:26
Usamah ibn Zayd,
3:28
Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib,
3:30
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri,
3:32
And others, may Allah be pleased with them all,
3:36
For they were below the age of puberty.
3:40
The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their Sahihs from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:
3:47
"The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, inspected me on the Day of Uhud
3:52
When I was fourteen years old,
3:55
And he did not permit me to fight.
3:57
Then he inspected me on the Day of the Trench (al-Khandaq) when I was fifteen years old,
4:01
And he permitted me."

Though the longing of lovers across the world may endure,
4:14
The longing for you transcends all measure.
4:22

4:28
And as long as, with remembrance,
4:35
The lips continue to move.
