The Marriage of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to Juwayriyah bint Al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her).
0:37
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) married Juwayriyah bint Al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her).
0:45
That was after he set her free.
0:48
Her story was recorded by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad,
0:51
And Abu Dawud in his Sunan with a good chain of transmission,
0:55
On the authority of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said:
0:58
"When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) distributed the captives of Banu Al-Mustaliq,
1:04
Juwayriyah bint Al-Harith fell into the lot of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas (may Allah be pleased with him)—
1:10
Or to a cousin of his.
1:12
She wrote a contract of emancipation for herself.
1:15
She was a sweet, attractive woman;
1:18
No one saw her without falling under her spell.
1:22
She came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) seeking his aid regarding her emancipation contract.
1:28
Aisha said: 'By Allah, the moment I saw her standing at the door of my apartment, I felt an aversion to her,
1:35
For I knew that he would see in her what I had seen.'
1:38
She entered upon him and said:
1:42
'O Messenger of Allah!
1:44
I am Juwayriyah, daughter of Al-Harith ibn Abi Dirar,
1:47
The chief of his people.
1:49
Calamity has befallen me, as is not hidden from you.
1:52
I fell into the lot of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas,
1:56
So I contracted with him to free myself,
1:59
And I have come to you seeking your assistance in paying my ransom.'
2:02
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
2:06
'Would you consider something better than that?'
2:09
She asked: 'And what is that, O Messenger of Allah?'
2:12
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
2:16
'I shall settle your contract and marry you.'
2:19
She said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.'
2:22
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied:
2:26
'It is done.'
2:28
Aisha said: 'The news went out to the people
2:31
That the Messenger of Allah
2:34
Had married Juwayriyah bint Al-Harith.
2:37
The people then said: "They are the in-laws of the Messenger of Allah!"
2:43
So they released whatever captives they held in their hands.'
2:46
Aisha said: 'Through his marriage to her, he caused the emancipation
2:50
Of one hundred households of Banu Al-Mustaliq.
2:53
I know of no woman who was a greater blessing to her people than she.'
2:59
The Plot of the Hypocrites to Stir Up Sedition.
3:05
We previously mentioned that there went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
3:10
In this military expedition a large number of hypocrites,
3:14
At their head Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul, the leader of the hypocrites.
3:20
Their going forth with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
3:24
In this expedition was solely
3:26
To incite sedition among the Muslims.
3:29
Tremendous events took place on account of them,
3:33
Including the revival of tribalistic rivalries of the pre-Islamic Jahiliyyah.
3:37
The two Shaykhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) recorded in their Sahihs
3:40
On the authority of Jabir ibn Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said:
3:44
"We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on an expedition,
3:49
And a man from the Emigrants struck a man from the Ansar on the rear.
3:53
The Ansari cried out: 'O Ansar! Help!'
3:57
And the Emigrant cried out: 'O Emigrants! Help!'
4:01
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) heard this
4:05
And said: 'What is this call of Jahiliyyah?'
4:09
They said: 'O Messenger of Allah,
4:12
A man from the Emigrants struck a man from the Ansar on his rear.'
4:16
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
4:20
'Abandon it, for it is rotten and repulsive!'
4:23
Imam Muslim added in his Sahih in another narration:
4:27
'Let a man help his brother, whether he be an oppressor or oppressed.
4:31
If he is an oppressor, let him stop him,
4:34
For indeed that is his help to him;
4:36
And if he is oppressed, let him render aid to him.'
4:39
Ibn Salul's Reaction to the Incident.
4:43
When word of that reached Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul, he grew furious
4:48
And uttered a vile statement.
4:50
Ibn Ishaq recorded in the Seerah from his teachers
4:53
Who said: Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul became enraged
4:58
While in the presence of a group of his people,
5:00
Among whom was Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him),
5:03
Who was a young boy at the time.
5:05
Ibn Salul said: 'Have they truly done this?
5:08
They now vie with us and outnumber us in our own land!
5:12
By Allah, our situation and that of the destitute of Quraysh
5:15
Is just as the old saying goes:
5:17
"Fatten your dog, and it will devour you!"
5:20
By Allah, if we return to Al-Madinah, [the most honorable will surely expel the most humiliated therefrom].'
5:23
“They say: Surely, if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will soon drive out the weaker; when might belongeth to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not.” (63:8)
5:26
Then he turned to those present from his people
5:29
And said to them: 'This is what you have brought upon yourselves!
5:34
You welcomed them into your country
5:36
And shared your wealth with them.
5:39
By Allah, had you withheld from them what was in your hands,
5:43
They would have moved on to another land!'
5:46
Recorded by Imams Al-Bukhari, Muslim, and At-Tirmidhi—
5:49
And the wording belongs to At-Tirmidhi—
5:52
On the authority of Jabir ibn Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said:
5:56
Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul heard of this
5:59
And said: 'Have they truly done this?
6:02
By Allah, if we return to Al-Madinah, [the most honorable will surely expel the most humiliated therefrom].'
6:05
“They say: Surely, if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will soon drive out the weaker; when might belongeth to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not.” (63:8)
6:08
Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
6:11
'O Messenger of Allah!
6:13
Let me strike the neck of this hypocrite!'
6:16
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
6:19
'Leave him alone,
6:21
Lest the people say that Muhammad kills his companions.'
6:25
Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him)
6:30
Reports the Incident.
6:33
When Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) heard
6:37
That statement from this hypocrite,
6:40
He went and informed his uncle of it.
6:43
Imam Al-Bukhari recorded in his Sahih
6:46
On the authority of Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
6:49
"I was participating in an expedition,
6:52
And I heard Abdullah ibn Ubayy saying: ['Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah]
6:55
“They it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you); when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites comprehend not.” (63:7)
6:58
Until they disperse from around him,' [and: 'If we return to Al-Madinah, the most honorable will surely expel the most humiliated therefrom.']
7:02
“They say: Surely, if we return to Al-Madinah the mightier will soon drive out the weaker; when might belongeth to Allah and to His messenger and to the believers; but the hypocrites know not.” (63:8)
7:05
So I mentioned that to my uncle, or to Umar,
7:08
Who in turn mentioned it to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
7:12
The Prophet summoned me, and I recounted it to him.
7:15
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent word
7:18
To Abdullah ibn Ubayy and his companions,
7:21
But they swore that they had said no such thing.
7:24
Thus, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) disbelieved me."
7:27
In another wording in the Two Sahihs,
7:30
Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
7:33
"So he sent for Abdullah ibn Ubayy
7:36
And questioned him, but he swore solemn oaths
7:39
That he had neither done nor said it,
7:42
So he considered Zayd to have lied and believed the Messenger of Allah."
7:45
In the narration of At-Tahawi in Sharh
7:48
Mushkil Al-Athar with a good chain of transmission,
7:51
Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
7:54
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) looked at me,
7:57
And Sa'd ibn Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said—
8:00
Sa'd said: 'O Messenger of Allah,
8:03
It was only a young boy who informed me'—
8:06
Referring to Zayd ibn Arqam.
8:09
Sa'd came, took me by the hand, and led me away,
8:12
Saying: 'This boy told me.'
8:15
Then Abdullah ibn Ubayy rebuked me,
8:18
So I rushed weeping to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),
8:21
Crying and saying:
8:24
'By the One Who revealed the Prophethood upon you!
8:27
He indeed said it!'
8:30
Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
8:33
'Thereupon I was afflicted with a grief the likes of which I had never suffered before.
8:36
My uncle said to me:
8:39
"What did you intend other than having the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) deem you a liar
8:42
And detest you?"'"
8:47
Divine Revelation Vindicates Zayd ibn Arqam
8:50
(May Allah be pleased with him).
8:55
"While I was riding alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),
8:58
My head nodding off from severe distress and fatigue,
9:01
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came up to me,
9:04
Pinched my ear affectionately, and smiled in my face.
9:07
I would not have exchanged that gesture for eternal life in this world!
9:10
Then Abu Bakr caught up with me
9:13
And asked:
9:16
'What did the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say to you?'
9:19
I replied:
9:22
'He said nothing to me,
9:25
Except that he pinched my ear and smiled in my face.'
9:28
Abu Bakr said:
9:31
'Rejoice!'
9:34
Then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) caught up with me,
9:37
And I said to him the same as I had said to Abu Bakr.
9:40
When morning came,
9:43
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) recited
9:46
Surah Al-Munafiqun."
9:50
In the wording recorded by Ahmad
9:53
On the authority of Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him), he said:
9:56
"The Prophet of Allah sent for me—
9:59
Or I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)—
10:02
And he said: 'Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime,
10:05
Has sent down your vindication and confirmed your truthfulness.'
10:08
He said: 'So this verse was revealed:
10:11
“They it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you); when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites comprehend not.” (63:7)
10:14
“They it is who say: Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger that they may disperse (and go away from you); when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth; but the hypocrites comprehend not.” (63:7)
10:17
"They are the ones who say: 'Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah until they disperse,'"
10:20
Down to His statement:
10:23
"If we return to Al-Madinah, the most honorable will surely expel
10:26
The most humiliated therefrom."'"
10:29
Imam Al-Bukhari recorded in his Sahih
10:32
On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said:
10:35
"The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
10:38
'This is the one whose ear Allah fulfilled His promise to.'"
10:41
Al-Hafiz ibn Hajar stated in Al-Fath:
10:45
"The meaning is that Allah vindicated his truthfulness."
