We have heard, just as you have, of Macron being struck by the plague of the age, corona.
0:05
O Allah, we ask You to destroy him just as You destroyed ‘Amir Ibn al-Tufayl before him.
0:11
But do you know the story of ‘Amir Ibn al-Tufayl?
0:15
In the fourth year of the Hijrah, the tragedy of Bi’r Ma‘unah occurred.
0:20
It is considered one of the most severe tragedies to have befallen the Muslims.
0:25
Seventy of the Companions, who were reciters of the Holy Qur’an, were martyred therein.
0:30
They were killed through treachery and betrayal.
0:33
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, had sent this group of reciters,
0:39
to invite the people of Najd to Islam.
0:42
This was done at the request of one of their leaders and under his protection.
0:46
They arrived at Bi’r Ma‘unah.
0:48
Then they sent one of their men,
0:50
who was Haram Ibn Milhan.
0:52
He carried the letter of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, to ‘Amir Ibn al-Tufayl.
0:57
When he reached him,
0:59
‘Amir did not even look at the letter.
1:01
Instead, he signaled to one of his men,
1:04
who stabbed Haram Ibn Milhan in the back.
1:07
The spear emerged from his chest.
1:09
Haram Ibn Milhan, may Allah be pleased with him, took the blood,
1:13
wiped it over his face, and said:
1:16
"I have triumphed, by the Lord of the Ka‘bah."
1:18
Then the wicked ‘Amir incited,
1:21
the tribes of ‘Usayyah, Ri‘l, and Dhakwan to fight the rest of them.
1:26
They rose up with him,
1:27
and surrounded the noble Companions.
1:30
They fought until they were all killed, may the pleasure of Allah be upon them.
1:35
In the tenth year of the Prophetic Hijrah,
1:39
a delegation from Banu ‘Amir wanted,
1:41
to come to the Prophet, peace be upon him.
1:44
They said to ‘Amir Ibn al-Tufayl,
1:47
"O ‘Amir,
1:48
the people have accepted Islam, so you accept Islam too."
1:51
‘Amir Ibn al-Tufayl and Arbad Ibn Qays agreed,
1:55
to go to Madinah.
1:57
But because they did not desire Islam,
2:00
they conspired between themselves to betray the Prophet, peace be upon him, and kill him.
2:07
‘Amir Ibn al-Tufayl said to Arbad Ibn Qays,
2:11
"When we come to the man,"
2:13
meaning the Prophet, peace be upon him,
2:16
"I will distract him by facing him."
2:19
"Once I do that,"
2:21
"you kill him with your sword from behind."
2:24
When they arrived at the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
2:28
‘Amir Ibn al-Tufayl said,
2:30
"O Muhammad, befriend me,"
2:33
meaning, "take me as a friend."
2:35
He, peace be upon him, replied,
2:38
"No, by Allah, not until you believe in Allah alone."
2:42
He said, "O Muhammad, befriend me."
2:44
He kept speaking to him, waiting for Arbad to do what he had ordered him to do.
2:49
But Arbad did nothing.
2:52
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, refused him,
2:56
‘Amir said,
2:58
"By Allah, I will fill it against you with horses and men,"
3:02
referring to Madinah.
3:04
When he turned away,
3:06
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,
3:09
"O Allah, protect me from ‘Amir Ibn al-Tufayl."
3:13
When they left the presence of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
3:18
‘Amir said to Arbad,
3:20
"Woe to you, Arbad!
3:22
Where is what I commanded you to do?"
3:24
Arbad replied,
3:26
"May you have no father, do not rush me!
3:28
By Allah, every time I intended to do what you ordered regarding him,
3:33
he would come between me and the man,
3:36
until I could see nothing but you.
3:38
Was I to strike you with the sword?"
3:40
Then they left, returning to their lands.
3:43
When they were on the road,
3:46
Allah sent the plague upon ‘Amir Ibn al-Tufayl in his neck.
3:51
He was in the house of a woman from Banu Salul.
3:54
He began to say,
3:56
"A swelling like the swelling of a young camel?"
3:58
This is a disease similar to the plague that affects camels.
4:02
"A swelling like the swelling of a young camel?"
4:04
In the house of a woman from Banu Salul.
4:07
He went out, mounted his horse, and rode off.
4:10
The horse threw him from its back,
4:13
and trampled him until he died.
4:15
As for Arbad Ibn Qays,
4:17
he arrived at his people.
4:19
They asked, "What news do you bring, Arbad?"
4:22
He said, "By Allah, Muhammad invited us to worship something,
4:27
I wish he were here now,
4:30
so I could shoot him with this arrow and kill him."
4:34
Then, a day or two after he said that, he went out.
4:38
Allah sent a thunderbolt upon him that burned him.
4:42
True is Allah, who says:
4:46
“O Messenger! Make known that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord, for if thou do it not, thou wilt not have conveyed His message. Allah will protect thee from mankind. Lo! Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.” (5:67)
4:49
"Indeed, Allah does not guide the disbelieving people."
4:53
So continue, O servants of Allah, in the boycott.
4:56
And continue, O boycott of goodness.
