The Muslims' route to Badr.
0:30
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, set out.
0:35
Until he reached al-Rawha'.
0:38
He camped there.
0:40
Then he departed and continued his journey.
0:42
When he drew near to al-Safra',
0:44
He sent Basbas bin 'Amr al-Juhani,
0:47
And 'Adi bin Abi al-Zaghba',
0:49
May Allah be pleased with them both,
0:51
To Badr to scout for news of the caravan.
0:54
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, departed,
0:58
Until he reached the valley of Dhafran,
1:01
Where he camped.
1:05
The mobilization of the people of Makkah and their departure.
1:10
When Abu Sufyan, the leader of the caravan, received news
1:14
Of the departure of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
1:17
And his intention to intercept it,
1:19
He hired Damdam bin 'Amr al-Ghifari to go to Makkah,
1:24
To call out to the Quraysh to mobilize for the sake of their caravan,
1:28
So that they might protect it from Muhammad, peace be upon him, and his Companions.
1:33
The cry reached the people of Makkah,
1:36
And they rose up in haste, mobilizing fully for the expedition.
1:40
Not a single one of their nobles remained behind, except for Abu Lahab,
1:45
Who sent al-'As bin Hisham bin al-Mughirah in his place.
1:49
Their number was one thousand fighters,
1:52
With one hundred horses,
1:54
And a great number of camels, the count of which is unknown.
1:58
Umayyah bin Khalaf's fear of being killed.
2:05
Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih,
2:08
On the authority of 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him,
2:12
Who reported from Sa'd bin Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him,
2:15
That he said:
2:17
"I was a friend of Umayyah bin Khalaf.
2:20
Whenever Umayyah passed through Madinah, he would stay with me.
2:25
And whenever I passed through Makkah, I would stay with him."
2:30
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, arrived in
2:34
Madinah, I went out to perform 'Umrah,
2:38
And I stayed with Umayyah in Makkah.
2:41
I said to Umayyah,
2:43
"Find me a time when the place is empty so that I may circumambulate the House."
2:48
So he went out with me near midday.
2:51
Abu Jahl met them,
2:54
And said,
2:55
"O Abu Safwan, who is this with you?"
2:59
He replied,
3:00
"This is Sa'd."
3:02
Abu Jahl said to him,
3:04
"Do I see you circumambulating Makkah in safety,
3:07
While you have given shelter to the apostates,
3:09
And claimed that you support and aid them?
3:13
By Allah, were you not with Abu Safwan,
3:17
You would not have returned to your family safely."
3:20
Sa'd said to him,
3:22
Raising his voice against him,
3:24
"By Allah, if you prevent me from this,
3:27
I will prevent you from something that is harder for you:
3:31
Your route to Madinah."
3:33
Umayyah said to him,
3:35
"Do not raise your voice, O Sa'd, against Abu al-Hakam,
3:39
The master of the valley."
3:41
Sa'd replied,
3:43
"Leave us be, O Umayyah,
3:45
For by Allah, I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say,
3:50
'They will kill you.'"
3:53
He asked,
3:54
"In Makkah?"
3:55
He replied,
3:56
"I do not know."
3:58
Umayyah was struck with great terror because of this.
4:02
When Umayyah returned to his family,
4:05
He said, "O Umm Safwan,
4:07
Did you not hear what Sa'd said to me?"
4:10
She asked,
4:11
"What did he say to you?"
4:13
He said,
4:14
"He claimed that Muhammad told them that they would kill me."
4:18
I asked him, "In Makkah?"
4:21
He said, "I do not know."
4:23
Umayyah then said,
4:25
"By Allah, I will not leave Makkah."
4:29
When the day of Badr arrived,
4:31
Abu Jahl mobilized the people,
4:34
Saying,
4:35
"Go and save your caravan."
4:37
Umayyah disliked going out,
4:39
But Abu Jahl came to him
4:41
And said,
4:42
"O Abu Safwan,
4:44
Whenever people see you staying behind,
4:48
And you are the master of the valley,
4:50
They will stay behind with you."
4:52
Abu Jahl did not cease pressuring him,
4:54
Until he said,
4:56
"Since you have overcome me,
4:58
By Allah, I will buy the finest camel in Makkah."
5:02
Then Umayyah said,
5:04
"O Umm Safwan,
5:06
Prepare my provisions."
5:07
She said to him,
5:09
"O Abu Safwan,
5:11
Have you forgotten what your Yathribi brother told you?"
5:15
He said, "No,
5:16
I only intend to go a short distance with them."
5:20
When Umayyah set out,
5:22
He would not stop at any place without tethering his camel.
5:26
He continued to do so,
5:28
Until Allah, the Almighty, caused him to be killed at Badr.
5:32
Al-Hafiz said in al-Fath,
5:34
"In this hadith are clear miracles of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
5:40
It also shows the state of Sa'd bin Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him,
5:44
Regarding his strength of spirit and certainty.
5:47
It also shows that the practice of 'Umrah was ancient,
5:51
And that the Companions were permitted to perform 'Umrah
5:55
Before the Prophet, peace be upon him, performed it,
5:59
Unlike the Hajj."
6:01
And Allah knows best.

6:08
If the longing of all worlds for some is great,
6:14
The longing for you has no fathomable extent.
6:22
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,
6:28
And as long as the tongue moves,
6:35
Healing the soul.
