A Summary

of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

Describing the Prophet, peace be upon him, as a sorcerer.
0:27
The Quraysh agreed to describe the Prophet, peace be upon him, as a sorcerer,
0:32
just as al-Walid Ibn al-Mughirah had described him to them.
0:36
May Allah disgrace him.
0:38
They began sitting along the paths of the people when the pilgrimage season arrived.
0:42
No one would pass by them without them warning them about him,
0:46
and informing them of his affair.
0:49
Among the most zealous of the Quraysh in this regard were
0:52
Abu Lahab, the uncle of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
0:56
and Abu Jahl, 'Amr Ibn Hisham.
0:59
May Allah disgrace them.
1:01
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad,
1:04
and al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak, with a hasan (sound) chain of narration,
1:07
and the wording is that of Ahmad:
1:09
On the authority of Rabi'ah Ibn 'Abbad al-Dili, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
1:14
"I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, with my own eyes at the market of Dhu al-Majaz saying,
1:21
'O people,
1:23
say there is no god but Allah, and you will succeed.'
1:27
He would move through the crowds,
1:29
while the people were pressing around him.
1:32
I did not see anyone saying anything, yet he would not remain silent;
1:36
he would say,
1:37
'O people,
1:39
say there is no god but Allah, and you will succeed.'
1:43
Behind him was a man with squinting eyes,
1:46
fair-complexioned, with two braided locks of hair,
1:49
saying, 'He is a liar and a renegade (sabi').'
1:52
I asked, 'Who is this?'
1:54
They replied, 'Muhammad Ibn 'Abdullah,
1:57
and he is claiming prophethood.'
2:00
I asked, 'Who is this man who is calling him a liar?'
2:03
They replied, 'His uncle, Abu Lahab.'"
2:06
In another narration,
2:08
it is stated that the one who was following the Prophet, peace be upon him,
2:12
was Abu Jahl.
2:14
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad with a sahih (authentic) chain of narration
2:18
on the authority of Ash'ath Ibn Abi al-Sha'tha', who said:
2:21
"A man from the tribe of Banu Malik Ibn Kinanah told me, saying:
2:26
'I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, at the market of Dhu al-Majaz,
2:31
moving through it and saying,
2:33
"O people,
2:35
say there is no god but Allah, and you will succeed."'
2:39
He said: 'And Abu Jahl was throwing dust at him and saying,
2:44
"O people,
2:45
do not let this man deceive you regarding your religion,
2:49
for he only wants you to abandon your gods
2:52
and abandon al-Lat and al-'Uzza."'
2:55
He said: 'And the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, would not pay him any attention.'"
3:01
Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir said:
3:04
"This is how it appears in this context,
3:06
[mentioning] Abu Jahl,
3:07
though it may be a mistake [in the narration].
3:09
It is possible that sometimes it was one,
3:12
and sometimes it was the other,
3:14
and that they would take turns in harming him, peace be upon him."
3:21
Ibn Ishaq said:
3:22
"This led to the Arabs departing from that season having heard of the affair of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
3:30
and his mention spread throughout all the lands of the Arabs.
3:34
Abu Talib feared that the masses of the Arabs might turn against him along with his own people,
3:39
so he composed his poem in which he sought refuge in the sanctuary of Makkah and his position within it,
3:45
and expressed affection for the nobles of his people,
3:48
while at the same time informing them that he would not hand over the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
3:55
nor would he ever abandon him for anything,
3:58
until he perished defending him."

The longing of the worlds for one another has intensified,
4:25
for the longing towards you has no fathomable limit.
4:32

4:39
and as long as lips move in remembrance.
