A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

The splitting of the moon.
0:24
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:
0:26
This is a matter upon which the scholars are in agreement.
0:30
That the splitting of the moon occurred during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
0:36
And that it was one of the manifest miracles.
0:40
The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their Sahih collections:
0:43
On the authority of Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
0:47
The people of Makkah asked the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to show them a sign.
0:53
So he showed them the moon split into two parts, until they saw the mountain of Hira between them.
0:59
The two Shaykhs also narrated in their Sahih collections:
1:02
On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
1:06
The moon split while we were with the Prophet, peace be upon him, at Mina.
1:12
He said, "Bear witness."
1:15
And a portion of it moved toward the mountain.
1:18
Al-Hafiz (Ibn Hajar) said in Al-Fath:
1:20
This does not contradict the statement of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him,
1:24
That this took place in Makkah.
1:26
Because he did not explicitly state that the Prophet, peace be upon him, was in Makkah on that night.
1:33
And even if he had explicitly stated it, Mina is considered part of Makkah.
1:38
Therefore, there is no contradiction.
1:40
Al-Tayalisi narrated in his Musnad with an authentic chain of transmission:
1:44
On the authority of Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
1:48
The moon split during the era of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
1:54
So the Quraysh said:
1:55
"This is the sorcery of the son of Abu Kabshah."
1:58
And they said, "Wait for what the travelers bring you."
2:03
"For Muhammad cannot bewitch all the people."
2:08
He said: Then the travelers arrived and confirmed it.
2:12
And Allah revealed regarding this His saying:
2:16
“The hour drew nigh and the moon was rent in twain.” (54:1)
2:21
"And if they see a sign, they turn away and say, 'Continuing magic.'"
2:29
