Authored by Sheikh Musa ibn Rashid al-'Azimi,

May Allah preserve him.
0:25
The sermon of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his pardon of the people of Mecca.
0:37
When control was firmly established for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),
0:43
He stood on the steps of the Ka'bah and delivered a sermon to the people of Mecca.
0:47
Imam Muslim recorded in his Sahih,
0:51
On the authority of 'Amr ibn Hurayth (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
0:55
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) addressed the people
1:00
Wearing a black turban."
1:03
Abu Dawud recorded in his Sunan with an authentic chain of transmission,
1:07
On the authority of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:
1:12
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) delivered a sermon on the Day of the Conquest in Mecca.
1:18
He proclaimed Allah's greatness three times,
1:20
Then said:
1:22
'There is no god but Allah alone,
1:24
He fulfilled His promise,
1:26
Granted victory to His servant,
1:28
And routed the confederates alone.
1:30
Behold! Every claim of privilege, ancestry, or blood-money dating back to the pre-Islamic era of ignorance (Jahiliyyah)
1:37
Is under my two feet,
1:39
Except for the providing of water to pilgrims
1:42
And the custody of the Sacred House.'"
1:44
And the two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) recorded in their Sahihs,
1:47
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both),
1:51
That he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying,
1:55
While he was in Mecca during the year of the Conquest:
1:58
"Indeed, Allah and His Messenger have prohibited the sale of alcohol, carrion, swine, and idols."
2:04
It was said: "O Messenger of Allah,
2:07
What do you think about the fat of carrion,
2:09
For it is used to coat ships,
2:12
Daub hides,
2:14
And people use it to fuel their lamps?"
2:16
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
2:20
"No, it is unlawful."
2:23
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said at that time:
2:27
"May Allah destroy the Jews!
2:30
When Allah forbade them its fat,
2:33
They melted it down, sold it, and consumed its proceeds."
2:37
And Imam Muslim recorded in his Sahih,
2:41
On the authority of 'Abdullah ibn Muti', from his father, who said:
2:45
"I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say on the Day of the Conquest:
2:50
'No Qurayshi shall be executed in captivity after this day
2:54
Until the Day of Resurrection.'"
2:57
Imam al-Nawawi said:
2:59
"The scholars said
3:01
Its meaning
3:02
Is an announcement that all of Quraysh would embrace Islam
3:06
And none of them would ever apostatize,
3:08
As others apostatized after him (peace be upon him),
3:12
From among those who were fought and executed in captivity.
3:15
It does not mean they could never be unjustly killed while in captivity,
3:20
For what is well known did indeed befall Quraysh after that.
3:24
And Allah knows best."
3:26
Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad and al-Tirmidhi in his Jami' with a good chain of transmission,
3:32
On the authority of al-Harith ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
3:36
"I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on the Day of the Conquest of Mecca say:
3:42
'This city shall never be raided after today until the Day of Resurrection'—
3:47
Meaning Mecca, may Allah ennoble it."
3:50
In another wording in the Musnad,
3:53
And in Sharh Mushkil al-Athar with a good chain of transmission,
3:57
On the authority of 'Abdullah ibn Muti', from his father, who said:
4:01
"I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) when he ordered the execution of that band of people in Mecca,
4:08
Saying: 'Mecca shall never be raided after this year, ever.'"
4:13
The Sheikh noted in the footnote: "He means by 'that band of people'
4:17
Those whose blood the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) declared licit shortly before entering Mecca,
4:24
Which was mentioned a short while ago."
4:29
Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah, the narrator of the hadith, said, as in al-Tahawi's narration:
4:35
"Its interpretation is that they will never disbelieve,
4:38
Nor will they ever be waged war against for disbelief."
4:41
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) pardoned the people of Mecca,
4:46
And the people gathered around him to pledge allegiance to him (peace be upon him).
4:51
Imam al-Nasa'i recorded in al-Sunan al-Kubra with an authentic chain of transmission,
4:56
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
5:00
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) arrived and circumambulated the House.
5:05
He began passing by those idols, striking them with the tip of his bow and saying:
5:11
“And say: Truth hath come and falsehood hath vanished away. Lo! falsehood is ever bound to vanish.” (17:81)
5:18
When he finished and prayed, he came and took hold of the two doorposts of the Ka'bah,
5:24
Then said: 'O people of Quraysh, what do you say?'
5:29
They replied: 'A noble brother and the son of a compassionate, noble brother.'
5:34
He repeated the question to them, and they gave the same response.
5:38
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
5:42
'Then I say as my brother Joseph said: "No reproach upon you today!"'
5:49
“He said: Have no fear this day! May Allah forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.” (12:92)
5:54
So they went out and pledged allegiance to him upon Islam."
5:57
Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad and al-Hakim in his Mustadrak with a good chain of transmission,
6:03
On the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Aswad ibn Khalaf, who said
6:07
That his father, al-Aswad, told him
6:10
That he saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) receiving allegiance from the people on the Day of the Conquest.
6:15
He said: "He sat by the corner of the house of Ibn Samurah,
6:20
And I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) sitting,
6:24
While the people came—the young, the old, and the women—
6:29
And pledged allegiance to him upon Islam and the Testimony."
6:32
I asked: "And what is the Testimony?"
6:35
He said: "Upon faith in Allah
6:38
And the testimony that there is no god but Allah."
6:42
And the two Shaykhs recorded in their Sahihs,
6:45
On the authority of Mujashi' ibn Mas'ud al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
6:50
"I brought my brother to the Prophet (peace be upon him) after the Conquest,
6:55
And said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have brought my brother to you so that you may accept his pledge of allegiance to emigrate (hijrah).'
7:01
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
7:05
'The people of the Emigration have departed with its reward.'
7:08
I asked: 'Upon what, then, will you accept his pledge?'
7:12
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
7:17
'I accept his pledge upon Islam, faith, and jihad.'"
7:21
Imam al-Nawawi said:
7:24
"Its meaning is that the praiseworthy and virtuous Emigration,
7:28
Whose people possess a distinct superiority,
7:31
Was only before the Conquest.
7:34
But: 'I accept your pledge upon Islam, jihad, and all other righteous deeds.'
7:40
This is an instance of mentioning the general after the specific,
7:43
For righteousness is broader than jihad.
7:46
And the meaning is: 'I accept your pledge that you will perform these deeds.'"

7:56
Though the longing of creation for one another may endure,
8:02
The longing for you transcends all boundless measure.
8:09
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,
8:16
And lips murmur with the enduring words of praise.
