In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Treasures of biography

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, writing to the kings
0:17
After the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah
0:19
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, corresponded with kings and princes
0:23
He calls them to God Almighty
0:26
He, may God bless him and grant him peace, sent many messages
0:30
We mention two messages from them
0:33
The first is his message to many
0:36
It came in
0:38
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
0:41
From Muhammad, the Messenger of God
0:43
To the great multitude of knights
0:45
Peace be upon those who follow guidance
0:48
And he believed in God and His Messenger
0:50
He bore witness that there is no god but God alone, without partners
0:54
And that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger
0:57
I invite you to pray to God
1:00
For I am the Messenger of God to all people
1:04
To warn those who were alive
1:06
And the word is valid against the unbelievers
1:09
So I accept Islam
1:11
If I refuse
1:12
The sin of the Magi is upon you
1:15
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, chose to carry this book
1:19
Abdullah bin Hudhafa Al-Sahmiyyah, may God be pleased with him
1:23
So Al-Sahmi pushed him to the great of Bahrain
1:28
And when the book reached a large number
1:31
He tore it up and said in his arrogance
1:33
On the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
1:36
A despicable slave from my subject
1:39
He writes his name before me
1:41
When this reached the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
1:45
He said
1:46
God tore apart his kingdom
1:48
It was as he said
1:51
He wrote extensively to Badhan, his governor in Yemen
1:55
Send to this man
1:57
The one in Hijaz has two skinned men from you
2:00
Let him bring it to me
2:02
So Badhan chose two men from his own
2:05
He sent them a letter to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
2:10
He orders him to go out with them to go out with them
2:14
This is a strange thing from this man
2:17
It is a lot
2:18
He underestimated the Arabs
2:21
He did not send an army
2:24
Not a small expedition to bring the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
2:30
Rather, he sends two men
2:32
To bring him the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
2:36
This is how Persia and the Romans looked at the Arabs
2:40
They despised them and considered them nothing
2:44
So God Almighty honored them with Islam
2:47
It is only a few years ago
2:50
However, Islam appeared
2:53
God Almighty ended the entire state of Persia
2:57
This is the grace of God Almighty
3:01
It was mentioned in the hadith
3:03
These two men came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
3:08
They shaved their beards and grew their mustaches
3:12
When the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, saw them
3:16
He turned away from them and hated to look at them
3:20
Then he said: Who ordered you to do this?
3:24
It is growing a mustache and shaving the beard
3:27
Our Lord said
3:29
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
3:32
As for my Lord, He commanded me to grow my beard and trim my moustache
3:38
This is the Sunnah of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
3:42
This is a gift
3:44
The second is his letter to Heraclius
3:48
Narrated by Imam Al-Bukhari, may God have mercy on him
3:51
On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas
3:53
That Abu Sufyan bin Harb told him
3:56
Abu Sufyan said
3:58
We were merchants in the Levant
4:00
And he sent Hercules to him and to those who were with him
4:04
During the period that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
4:09
Abu Sufyan and the infidels of Quraysh went there
4:12
So they brought him while he was Elijah
4:16
So he summoned them to his council and surrounded him with the great Romans
4:20
He called his translator and said:
4:23
Which of you is closest in lineage to this man who claims to be a prophet?
4:28
Abu Sufyan said
4:30
I am the closest relative
4:33
Abu Sufyan
4:35
He is Sakhr bin Harb bin Umayyah
4:37
Ibn Abd Shams bin Abd Manaf
4:40
And the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
4:43
He is Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib
4:46
Ibn Hashim bin Abdul Manaf
4:48
Abu Sufyan IV's father was Abd Shams
4:52
And the fourth father of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, is Hashem
4:57
And Hashem and Abd Shams
4:59
Twin brothers
5:01
Their father is Abd Manaf
5:03
He said, "Bring him closer to me."
5:06
He said: Bring his companions closer and put them at his back
5:11
Then he said to his translator
5:13
Tell them
5:14
I am asking about this man
5:17
If he lies to me, then lie to him
5:19
Abu Sufyan said
5:21
By God, if it were not for the shame that they would falsely influence me, I would have lied
5:26
Then the first thing he asked me about was he said
5:30
How does he relate to you?
5:32
I said
5:33
He has lineage among us
5:35
And in a narration he said
5:38
He is from among us in lineage
5:40
That is, one of our best lineages
5:43
The average thing is the best
5:45
The jewel is in the necklace
5:47
Mediation of the contract
5:49
The same can be said about the afternoon prayer
5:52
Middle prayer
5:54
As God Almighty said
5:57
Maintain the prayers and the middle prayer
6:00
That is, virtue
6:02
Hercules said
6:04
Has anyone among you ever said this before?
6:09
I said no
6:10
He said: Was any of his fathers a king?
6:14
I said no
6:17
He said, do the most honorable people follow him or the weak ones?
6:21
I said: Rather, they are weak
6:24
He said: Do they increase or decrease?
6:28
I said, "Rather, they increase."
6:30
He said: Will any of them apostatize out of discontent with his religion after he enters it?
6:36
I said no
6:38
He said: Were you accusing him of lying before he said what he said?
6:44
I said no
6:46
He said: Is he treacherous?
6:48
I said no
6:50
We are in a period of time where we do not know what he will do
6:54
Abu Sufyan said
6:56
I was not able to insert anything into it other than this gem
7:02
He said: Did you fight him?
7:05
I said yes
7:07
How was your fight with him?
7:10
I said: The war between us and him is a dispute between us and us
7:17
He said: What does he command you?
7:20
I said, “Worship God alone and do not associate anything with Him.”
7:26
Leave what your fathers say
7:29
He also commands us to pray, be truthful, chastity, and maintain ties
7:34
Heraclius said to the translator
7:36
Tell him I asked you about his lineage
7:39
So I mentioned that there is a lineage among you
7:42
Likewise, messengers are sent in the lineage of their people
7:46
He said, “I asked you if any of you had ever said this before him.”
7:52
I said no
7:54
So I said: If someone had said this before him
7:58
I would have said that he is a man who takes pity on something that was said before him
8:03
I asked you whether any of his fathers had any king
8:07
I said no
8:09
I said: If any of his fathers had a king
8:12
I said: A man seeks the kingdom of his fathers
8:16
I asked you, were you accusing him of lying before he said what he said?
8:22
I said no
8:24
I know that he would not refuse to lie to people and lie to God
8:29
And I asked you
8:31
Do the noblest people follow him or the weak ones?
8:35
I said, “Rather, their weak ones followed him, and they are followers of the messengers.”
8:40
I asked you whether they should increase or decrease
8:44
I said, "Rather, they increase."
8:46
And so is the matter of faith until it is fulfilled
8:49
And in a novel
8:51
The same applies to faith when it touches hearts
8:56
And I asked you
8:58
Has any of them apostatized out of discontent with his religion after he entered it?
9:03
I said no
9:04
And so is faith when it touches hearts on its screen
9:09
I asked you whether he is treacherous
9:12
So I mentioned no
9:14
Likewise, the messengers do not betray
9:16
I asked you what he ordered you to do
9:19
So I mentioned that he commands you to worship God alone and not to associate anything with Him
9:25
He forbids you from worshiping idols
9:28
He commands you to pray, be truthful, chastity, and maintain ties
9:32
Then he said
9:34
If what you say is true
9:37
He will own the place of these feet of mine
9:40
And I knew he was out
9:43
I didn't think it was you
9:46
Hercules said
9:48
If I knew that I would be faithful to Him
9:51
I was excited to meet him
9:53
Even if I were with him
9:55
I would have washed his feet
9:57
Then he called for the book of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
10:02
The one whom Dihya sent to Basra's great man
10:06
So he gave it to Heraclius
10:08
So he read it and found it
10:10
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
10:13
From Muhammad, the servant of God and His Messenger
10:16
To Heraclius, the great Roman
10:19
Peace be upon those who follow guidance
10:22
As for after
10:24
I call you to propagate Islam
10:27
Aslam, thank you
10:29
May God reward you twice
10:32
If you take over
10:33
For upon you is the sin of the Aresians
10:36
Then he said
10:38
Say, O People of the Book, come to a common word
10:44
Between us and you
10:46
We should not worship anyone but God
10:52
We do not associate anything with Him
10:55
And do not take each other
10:58
Or a father other than God
11:01
If they turn away, say so
11:04
Bear witness that we are Muslims
11:08
Abu Sufyan said
11:11
When he said what he said
11:13
He finished reading the book
11:16
There was a lot of noise and voices rose
11:19
And he took us out
11:21
So I said to my friends when we left
11:24
He ordered Ibn Abi Kabsha
11:27
He is feared by the yellow king of Ben
11:30
He says
11:32
I'm still confident that he will appear
11:35
Until God brought me to Islam
11:38
He was the son of a caretaker
11:40
Elijah's owner
11:42
A roof over Nassar al-Sham
11:44
He is a friend of his
11:46
They were looking at the stars
11:49
It happens that he was moved when Elijah came
11:52
One day he became evil
11:55
Some of his penguins said
11:58
We have denounced your appearance
12:00
Ibn al-Natour said
12:02
It was like a saddlebag
12:04
Looks at the stars
12:06
He told them when they asked him
12:08
I saw tonight
12:10
When I looked at the stars
12:12
The king of circumcision has appeared
12:14
Who is circumcised from this nation?
12:17
They said that only Jews are circumcised
12:21
Don't care about them
12:23
He wrote to Mada'in your king
12:26
They kill the Jews among them
12:29
He says while they are on their way
12:33
Raql brought to him a man sent by the king of Ghassan
12:37
He tells about the news of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
12:41
When Heraclius asked him, he said:
12:44
Go and see
12:46
Whether he was circumcised or not
12:48
They told him that he was circumcised
12:51
And ask him about the Arabs
12:53
He said: They are circumcised
12:55
Hercules said
12:57
This king of this nation has appeared
13:01
Then Heraclius wrote to his friend in Rome
13:05
He was his counterpart in science
13:07
Heraclius marched to Homs
13:10
He did not see Homs until a letter came to him from his friend that agreed with his opinion
13:16
He says that his permission was sent to the Roman greats in his daskra in Homs
13:22
The building is like a palace
13:25
There are many houses for servants and courtiers
13:29
Then he ordered the doors of the daskra to be closed
13:33
Then he looked up and said
13:35
O people of the Romans!
13:37
May you attain success and maturity
13:39
And may your kingdom be established
13:41
So they pledged allegiance to this Prophet
13:43
They followed the wild asses to the gates
13:47
They found it closed
13:49
When he saw him, he turned them away, and he lost faith
13:53
He said, return them to me
13:56
Then he said
13:58
I said my article above to test your strength in your religion
14:04
I have seen
14:05
So they prostrated to him
14:07
That was the last thing he did
14:11
This man is the glory of the world
14:14
He was worried about his king and feared for him
14:17
And he forgot the afterlife
14:19
And so is man
14:21
Great good may be lost
14:23
He loses the afterlife, which is the abode of decision-making
14:26
For a trivial world, he may enjoy it or he may not enjoy it
14:31
And whoever enjoys it
14:34
One dip in the fire of hell
14:37
Then he is told
14:39
Have you ever had anything good?
14:41
Have you ever experienced bliss?
14:44
Have you ever seen Naeem?
14:46
He says no
14:48
I have never seen Naeem
14:50
Here a questioner may ask
14:54
Did Rakal surrender to him?
14:56
It appears here that he wanted to convert to Islam
14:59
And he believed in the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
15:03
But mere belief is not enough
15:06
It must be acknowledged
15:08
Faith is not merely a matter of belief
15:12
Satan believes that God is his creator
15:15
And God is his maker
15:17
And God is the photographer
15:19
And God is in charge
15:20
And God Almighty has forbidden it
15:23
However, he did not respond
15:25
It was reported that he wrote from Tabuk
15:28
Oh Raql
15:30
To the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he says
15:33
I am Muslim
15:35
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
15:38
He lied
15:39
Rather, he is a Christian
15:42
Al-Hafiz bin Hajar said
15:44
In the Book of Money by Abu Ubaid with an authentic chain of narration
15:48
From the message of Bakr bin Abdullah Al-Muzani
15:51
He said
15:53
That is, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, on his authority
15:57
The enemy of God lied
15:59
Not a Muslim
16:01
Biography treasures
16:04
Justice of Islam
16:11
Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim
16:14
On the authority of Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, that he said
16:18
A group of eight people
16:21
They came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
16:25
So they pledged allegiance to him on Islam
16:27
So they sat down on the ground and their bodies became sick
16:31
They said that to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
16:35
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
16:39
Don't you go out with our shepherd with his camels?
16:43
You will be infected with its urine and milk
16:46
They said yes
16:48
They drank from its urine and milk and became healthy
16:52
But what was the reward for this favor?
16:56
They killed the shepherd and drove away the camels
16:59
This reached the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
17:03
So he sent after them
17:05
So they realized and he brought them
17:08
So he, may God bless him and grant him peace, ordered them to do so
17:11
Their hands and feet were cut off
17:14
And their eyes were darkened
17:16
Then they were left in the sun until they died
17:19
This is the punishment for those who spread corruption on earth
17:22
And God Almighty said
17:25
We wrote to them about it
17:28
A life for a life and an eye for an eye
17:31
Nose for nose and ear for ear
17:35
Ear for ear and tooth for tooth
17:38
Wounds are retribution
17:41
Anas said
17:44
But he stung the eyes of those people
17:46
Because they blinded the eyes of the shepherds
17:49
They started with this
17:51
So the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, dealt with them
17:54
By the gender of their work
17:56
This is because they assaulted
17:58
So he attacked them in the same way as they attacked them
18:01
Even if it was the second assault
18:03
It's not really an assault
18:06
But it is retribution
