May Allah preserve him.
0:24
The pursuit by Suraqah ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:34
Suraqah ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, embraced Islam.
0:37
In the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, at al-Ji'ranah.
0:41
When he returned from Hunayn and al-Ta'if.
0:45
His Islam was sincere.
0:47
His story regarding his departure in pursuit of the Prophet, peace be upon him, during the migration (Hijrah) is famous.
0:54
Imam al-Bukhari narrated it in his Sahih.
0:57
And Imam Ahmad in his Musnad.
0:59
The wording is that of Ahmad.
1:02
On the authority of Suraqah ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
1:06
The messengers of the disbelievers of Quraysh came to us.
1:08
They had placed a bounty on the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
1:12
And on Abu Bakr, the blood money for each of them.
1:16
For whoever killed or captured them.
1:20
While I was sitting in a gathering of my people, the Banu Mudlij.
1:25
A man from among them approached until he stood over us.
1:29
He said, "O Suraqah!
1:31
I have just seen some dark figures on the coast.
1:35
I believe them to be Muhammad and his companions."
1:39
Suraqah, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
1:41
I knew that it was indeed them.
1:43
But I said, "They are not them.
1:47
Rather, you saw so-and-so and so-and-so who departed just now."
1:52
He said:
1:53
I remained in the gathering for a while.
1:55
Then I stood up and entered my house.
1:58
I ordered my slave girl to bring out my horse.
2:02
She kept it behind a hillock.
2:04
And held it for me.
2:06
I took my spear.
2:08
And went out with it from the back of the house.
2:10
I traced the ground with my spear.
2:13
And lowered the tip of the spear.
2:15
Until I reached my horse and mounted it.
2:18
I urged it to gallop with me.
2:21
Meaning, I made it run quickly.
2:23
Until I saw their dark figures.
2:26
When I drew near to them, to the point where my voice could be heard by them.
2:29
My horse stumbled, and I fell off it.
2:33
I stood up.
2:34
And reached with my hand for my quiver.
2:37
I took out the divining arrows.
2:39
And sought omens with them.
2:41
To see whether I should harm them or not.
2:43
The result I disliked came out.
2:45
That I should not harm them.
2:47
I mounted my horse and defied the arrows.
2:50
I urged it to gallop with me.
2:53
Until, when I drew near to them.
2:55
My horse stumbled, and I fell off it.
2:57
I stood up.
2:59
And reached with my hand for my quiver.
3:01
I took out the divining arrows.
3:03
And sought omens with them.
3:05
The result I disliked came out.
3:07
That I should not harm them.
3:09
I defied the arrows.
3:11
And mounted my horse.
3:13
I urged it to gallop with me.
3:15
Until I heard.
3:17
The recitation of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
3:19
He did not look back.
3:21
While Abu Bakr looked back frequently.
3:23
The forelegs of my horse sank into the ground.
3:25
Until they reached the knees.
3:27
I fell off it.
3:29
I shouted at it, and it struggled to rise.
3:31
It could barely pull its legs out.
3:33
When it stood upright.
3:35
From where its legs had been.
3:37
A cloud of dust rose into the sky.
3:39
Like smoke.
3:41
And the 'athan' is smoke.
3:43
Without fire.
3:45
I sought omens with the arrows.
3:47
The result I disliked came out.
3:49
That I should not harm them.
3:51
So I called out to them, asking for safety.
3:53
They stopped.
3:55
I mounted my horse and came to them.
3:57
It occurred to me.
3:59
When I encountered the obstacle preventing me from reaching them.
4:01
That the affair of the.
4:03
Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, would surely prevail.
4:05
So I said to him:
4:07
"Your people have placed a bounty on you."
4:09
The blood money.
4:11
And I informed them of the news.
4:13
Of their journey.
4:15
And what the people intended for them.
4:17
And I offered them provisions.
4:19
But they did not accept anything from me.
4:21
Meaning, they did not take.
4:23
Anything from me.
4:25
And they did not ask me for anything.
4:27
Except to keep our secret.
4:29
I asked him to write for me.
4:31
A document of peace.
4:33
To be safe by it.
4:35
He ordered 'Amir ibn Fuhayrah.
4:37
And he wrote for me on a scrap.
4:39
Of parchment.
4:41
Then the Messenger of Allah.
4:43
Peace be upon him, departed.
4:45
And in a hadith.
4:47
And in the hadith of Anas.
4:49
May Allah be pleased with him, in Sahih.
4:51
Al-Bukhari, he said:
4:53
The Messenger of Allah.
4:55
Peace be upon him, said to Suraqah:
4:57
"Do not let anyone.
4:59
Catch up with us."
5:01
He said:
5:03
So he was at the beginning of the day striving.
5:05
Against the Prophet of Allah, peace be upon.
5:07
Him.
5:09
And at the end of the day.
5:11
He was a protector for him.
5:13
Meaning, a guardian for him against the enemy.
5:17
The story of the Bedouin.
5:19
And his conversion to Islam.
5:21
Al-Hakim narrated in al-Mustadrak.
5:23
With a sound (sahih) chain of narration.
5:25
On the authority of Qays ibn al-Nu'man, who said:
5:27
When the Prophet.
5:29
Peace be upon him.
5:31
And Abu Bakr set out in secret.
5:33
They passed by a slave.
5:35
Tending sheep.
5:37
They asked him for milk.
5:39
He said, "I do not have.
5:41
A sheep that can be milked.
5:43
Except for a young ewe here."
5:45
He said, "The winter."
5:47
And it had been brought out.
5:49
And no milk remained in it.
5:51
He said, "Bring it here."
5:53
He called for it.
5:55
The Prophet, peace be upon him, wiped its udder.
5:57
And stroked its udder.
5:59
And prayed until it let down milk.
6:01
He said:
6:03
Abu Bakr brought a bowl.
6:05
Meaning, he brought a stone vessel.
6:07
Or a wooden one with depth.
6:09
He milked it and gave Abu Bakr to drink.
6:11
Then he milked it and gave [the others] to drink.
6:13
Then he milked it and drank.
6:15
The shepherd said:
6:17
"By Allah, who are you?
6:19
For by Allah, I have never seen.
6:21
Anyone like you."
6:23
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
6:25
"Would you keep it.
6:27
A secret for me if I tell you?"
6:29
He said, "Yes."
6:31
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
6:33
"I am Muhammad.
6:35
The Messenger of Allah."
6:37
He said:
6:39
"Are you the one whom Quraysh claims.
6:41
The one whom Quraysh claims.
6:43
Is a renegade?"
6:45
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
6:47
"They indeed say.
6:49
That."
6:52
He said:
6:54
"I bear witness that you are a Prophet.
6:56
And I bear witness that what you have brought is the truth.
6:58
And that no one does.
7:00
What you have done except a Prophet.
7:02
And I am your follower."
7:04
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
7:06
"You.
7:08
Will not be able to do that today.
7:10
So when you hear that I.
7:12
Have prevailed, then come to us."
7:14
The passing of the Messenger.
7:17
Peace be upon him.
7:19
By Umm Ma'bad.
7:21
Al-Khuza'iyyah.
7:24
Al-Hakim narrated in al-Mustadrak.
7:26
And al-Baghawi in Sharh.
7:28
Al-Sunnah with a good (hasan) chain of narration.
7:30
On the authority of Hisham ibn Hubaysh.
7:32
Ibn Khuwaylid, may Allah be pleased with him.
7:34
A companion of the Messenger of Allah.
7:36
Peace be upon him.
7:38
That the Messenger of Allah.
7:40
Peace be upon him.
7:42
Left Makkah as a migrant.
7:44
To Madinah.
7:46
With Abu Bakr and the freed slave.
7:48
Abu Bakr and ‘Amir ibn Fuhayrah.
7:50
Their guide was from the Banu Layth,
7:52
‘Abdullah ibn Urayqit.
7:54
They passed by the tent of Umm
7:56
Ma‘bad al-Khuza‘iyyah.
7:58
She was a dignified,
8:00
resilient woman,
8:02
sitting in the courtyard of her tent.
8:04
She would provide water and food to those who passed by.
8:06
They asked her for meat and dates,
8:08
intending to purchase them from her,
8:10
but they found nothing of that sort
8:12
with her.
8:14
The people were suffering from drought,
8:16
and famine—meaning their
8:18
provisions had run out.
8:20
The Messenger of Allah,
8:22
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, looked
8:24
at a ewe in the corner of the tent
8:26
and asked, "What is this ewe,
8:28
O Umm Ma‘bad?"
8:30
She replied, "It is a ewe
8:32
that has been left behind by the flock due to exhaustion."
8:34
The Messenger of Allah,
8:36
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, asked,
8:38
"Does it have any milk?"
8:40
She said, "It is too exhausted
8:42
for that."
8:44
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said,
8:46
"Do you give me permission
8:48
to milk it?"
8:50
She replied, "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you,
8:52
if you see any
8:54
milk in it, then milk it."
8:56
The Messenger of Allah,
8:58
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, called for it,
9:00
wiped its udder with his hand,
9:02
invoked the name of Allah the Exalted,
9:04
and prayed for blessing in her ewe.
9:06
It spread its legs for him,
9:08
let down its milk, and began to chew its cud.
9:10
He then called for a vessel
9:12
that could satisfy a group,
9:14
meaning it could quench the thirst of a group of men.
9:16
He milked into it a copious amount,
9:18
meaning flowing milk,
9:20
so much so that
9:22
it was covered in brightness,
9:24
meaning the sheen of its foam.
9:26
He then gave her to drink until she was satisfied,
9:28
and gave his companions to drink until they
9:30
were satisfied.
9:32
They were fully quenched, and the last of them drank.
9:34
Then he milked into it a second time,
9:36
starting anew,
9:38
until he filled the vessel.
9:40
Then he left it with her.
9:42
Then he pledged allegiance to her,
9:44
and they departed from her.
9:46
This is a summary
9:48
of the Prophetic biography.
9:50
The longing of the worlds for some of them is long,
9:56
but the longing for you is beyond measure.
10:01
May Allah bless you,
10:03
and may Allah send blessings upon you
10:06
as long as the call to prayer is raised,
10:10
and as long as
10:12
the lips
10:14
move in remembrance.
