0:54 On the authority of Ibn Buraydah ibn al-Husayb, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:58 From his father, who said: The Negus sent gifts to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
1:04 Two plain black leather socks; he wore them, then performed ablution and wiped over them.
1:11 Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad and Abu Dawud in his Sunan with a hasan chain.
1:17 On the authority of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:
1:21 Jewelry arrived for the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, from the Negus.
1:26 He had gifted it to him, and it contained a gold ring with an Abyssinian stone.
1:32 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, took it with a stick using some of his fingers.
1:38 Turning away from it, he then called for Umamah bint Abi al-‘As.
1:42 The daughter of his daughter, and said: "Adorn yourself with this, my dear daughter."
1:48 The passing of the Negus, Ashama, may Allah be pleased with him.
1:56 The Negus, Ashama, may Allah be pleased with him, passed away.
1:59 In Rajab of the ninth year of the Hijrah.
2:03 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, announced his death to his Companions on the day he died.
2:09 And he performed the funeral prayer for him in absentia.
2:12 The two Sheikhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their Sahih collections.
2:15 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
2:19 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, announced the death of the Negus to us.
2:24 The ruler of Abyssinia, on the day he died.
2:28 And he said: "Seek forgiveness for your brother."
2:32 The two Sheikhs narrated in their Sahih collections.
2:35 On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
2:38 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
2:42 Announced the death of the Negus to the people on the day he died.
2:46 He went out with them to the prayer ground (musalla).
2:49 And he performed four takbirs.
2:52 The two Sheikhs narrated in their Sahih collections.
2:55 On the authority of Jabir bin ‘Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
2:59 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said when the Negus died:
3:04 "A righteous man has died today."
3:07 "So stand up and pray for your brother, Ashama."
3:10 Imam al-Dhahabi said:
3:13 The Negus, whose name was Ashama.
3:16 The King of Abyssinia.
3:18 He is counted among the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them.
3:21 He was among those whose Islam was sincere.
3:24 He did not migrate, nor did he see the Prophet.
3:27 He is a Tabi‘i from one perspective.
3:29 He is a Companion from another perspective.
3:31 He passed away during the lifetime of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
3:35 So he performed the funeral prayer in absentia for him with the people.
3:39 It is not established that he, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, prayed.
3:43 Over anyone else in absentia.
3:45 The reason for this is that he died among a people of Christians.
3:49 And there was no one with him to perform the funeral prayer over him.
3:52 Because the Companions who had migrated to him.
3:56 Had left him, migrating to Medina in the year of Khaybar.
4:01 The letter of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
4:08 To the other Negus.
4:11 When the Negus, Ashama, may Allah be pleased with him, died.
4:15 Another Negus succeeded him over Abyssinia.
4:19 So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, wrote to him.
4:23 Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih.
4:27 On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
4:30 That the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
4:34 Wrote to Chosroes, to Caesar.
4:37 To the Negus, and to every tyrant.
4:40 Inviting them to Allah the Exalted.
4:43 This is not the Negus for whom the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, prayed.
4:49 Al-Hakim narrated in his Mustadrak and al-Bayhaqi in Dala’il al-Nubuwwah.
4:54 On the authority of Ibn Ishaq, who said:
4:57 This is a letter from the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, to the Negus.
5:03 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
5:06 This is a letter from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah.
5:09 To the Negus, Ashama, the great ruler of Abyssinia.
5:13 “So go ye unto him and say: Lo! we are two messengers of thy Lord. So let the children of Israel go with us, and torment them not. We bring thee a token from thy Lord. And peace will be for him who followeth right guidance.” (20:47)
5:16 And believe in Allah and His Messenger.
5:19 And bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner.
5:23 He has taken neither a spouse nor a child.
5:26 And that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.
5:29 I invite you with the invitation of Allah.
5:32 For I am His Messenger.
5:34 So accept Islam, and you will be safe.
5:36 “Say: O People of the Scripture! Come to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered (unto Him).” (3:64)
5:42 “Say: O People of the Scripture! Come to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered (unto Him).” (3:64)
5:46 “Say: O People of the Scripture! Come to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered (unto Him).” (3:64)
5:51 If they turn away, then say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims."
5:55 If you refuse, then upon you is the sin of the Christians of your people.
6:00 Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:
6:03 The apparent meaning is that this letter.
6:05 Was indeed to the Negus who came after the Muslim one.
6:09 The companion of Ja‘far and his companions.
6:12 This was when he wrote to the kings of the earth.
6:15 Inviting them to Allah the Almighty shortly before the Conquest (of Mecca).
6:19 Just as he wrote to Heraclius, the great ruler of the Romans.
6:22 And Caesar of the Levant.
6:24 And to Chosroes, the King of the Persians.
6:26 And to the ruler of Egypt.
6:28 And to the Negus.
6:30 And all of them contained this verse.
6:33 Which is from Surah Al ‘Imran.
6:35 And it is Medinan without dispute.
6:38 So this letter was to the second, not the first.
6:42 And his statement in it:
6:44 "To the Negus, Ashama."
6:46 Perhaps "Ashama" was inserted by the narrator.
6:49 According to what he understood.
6:51 And Allah knows best.
6:53 A Concise Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).
6:58 If the longing of the worlds for one another is long.
7:04 Then the longing for you has no fathomable end.
7:12 May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised.
7:18 And may your movement with the remainder.
7:25 Be a healing.
