Authored by Sheikh Musa bin Rashid al-Azimi.

May Allah preserve him.
0:25
The arrival of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, at al-Hudaybiyah.
0:35
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, commanded the people.
0:40
So they took the path to the right.
0:42
Through the midst of the Hamd region.
0:44
Along a route that would lead them to the mountain pass of al-Murar.
0:48
Al-Hudaybiyah is located at the lower end of Makkah.
0:51
He led the army along that path.
0:54
When the cavalry of Quraysh saw the dust of the army and realized they had deviated from their usual route,
0:59
They turned back toward Quraysh.
1:02
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, continued on.
1:06
Until he reached the pass of al-Murar.
1:09
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to his Companions,
1:13
"Whoever ascends this pass, the pass of al-Murar,
1:17
Shall have his burdens removed just as the burdens of the Children of Israel were removed."
1:22
Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
1:24
The first to ascend it were our cavalry,
1:27
The cavalry of the Banu al-Khazraj.
1:29
Then the people followed in succession.
1:32
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was at the pass,
1:37
The pass of al-Murar from which he was to descend toward them,
1:41
His she-camel, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, knelt down.
1:45
The people said,
1:46
"Hal, hal!" (urging it to rise).
1:48
But she remained stubborn.
1:49
They said,
1:50
"Al-Qaswa has become recalcitrant."
1:52
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,
1:56
"Al-Qaswa has not become recalcitrant,
1:58
Nor is that in her nature.
2:01
Rather, she has been restrained by the One who restrained the Elephant."
2:04
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,
2:08
"By Him in whose hand is my soul,
2:10
They will not ask me for any condition that honors the sacred sanctities of Allah,
2:15
But that I will grant it to them."
2:18
In another wording in the Musnad with a hasan (sound) chain of narration,
2:21
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,
2:25
"By Allah, Quraysh will not call me today to any condition,
2:29
In which they seek the upholding of kinship ties,
2:31
But that I will grant it to them."
2:34
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, urged his camel,
2:39
And she sprang up.
2:40
He turned away from them until he camped at the furthest edge of al-Hudaybiyah,
2:44
By a shallow well from which the people drew water sparingly.
2:49
The people did not leave it until they had drained it.
2:52
Thirst was complained of to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
2:57
He drew an arrow from his quiver,
2:59
And commanded them to place it in the well.
3:02
It continued to gush forth with water for them,
3:05
Until they had all satisfied their thirst and departed from it.
3:07
In a narration by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad with a hasan chain,
3:12
On the authority of al-Miswar bin Makhramah and Marwan bin al-Hakam,
3:15
They said:
3:16
They said, "O Messenger of Allah,
3:19
There is no water in the valley for the people to settle upon."
3:23
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took out,
3:26
An arrow from his quiver,
3:28
And gave it to one of his Companions.
3:31
He descended into one of those wells,
3:34
And planted it therein.
3:35
The water gushed forth,
3:38
Until the people were able to depart from it fully satisfied.
3:43
The mediation of Budayl bin Warqa', may Allah be pleased with him.
3:49
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, felt settled,
3:53
In his camp at al-Hudaybiyah,
3:56
Budayl bin Warqa' al-Khuza'i, may Allah be pleased with him, came to him,
4:00
While he was still a polytheist,
4:03
With a group of his people from Khuza'ah.
4:06
He said to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
4:10
"I have left Ka'b bin Lu'ayy,
4:12
And 'Amir bin Lu'ayy,
4:14
They have settled at the water sources of al-Hudaybiyah,
4:17
And with them are their nursing camels.
4:20
They will fight you and prevent you from reaching the House."
4:24
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said,
4:27
"We have not come to fight anyone,
4:30
But we have come to perform 'Umrah.
4:33
Quraysh has been exhausted by war and it has harmed them.
4:38
If they wish,
4:39
I will grant them a truce for a period,
4:41
And they shall leave me and the people alone.
4:44
If I prevail,
4:45
Then if they wish to enter into what the people have entered into,
4:49
They may do so.
4:50
Otherwise, they will have rested.
4:52
But if they refuse,
4:54
Then by Him in whose hand is my soul,
4:56
I will fight them for this cause of mine,
4:59
Until my neck is severed,
5:01
And Allah will surely execute His command."
5:04
Budayl, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
5:07
"I will convey to them what you have said."
5:10
Budayl bin Warqa', may Allah be pleased with him, departed,
5:13
Along with those who were with him from Khuza'ah,
5:15
Until they came to Quraysh.
5:17
He said,
5:19
"We have come to you from this man,
5:21
And we heard him say something.
5:24
If you wish for us to present it to you,
5:27
We will do so."
5:28
Their foolish ones said,
5:30
"We have no need for you to tell us anything about him."
5:34
But the wise among them said,
5:37
"Bring what you heard him say."
5:39
He said,
5:40
"I heard him say such and such."
5:43
And he informed them of what the Prophet, peace be upon him, had said.
5:48
In a narration by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad,
5:51
On the authority of al-Miswar bin Makhramah and Marwan bin al-Hakam,
5:55
They said:
5:56
They returned to Quraysh,
5:58
And said, "O assembly of Quraysh,
6:01
You are being hasty regarding Muhammad.
6:04
Muhammad has not come to fight;
6:07
He has only come as a visitor to this House,
6:10
Honoring its sanctity."
6:12
They accused them,
6:14
And said,
6:15
"Even if he has only come for that,
6:18
No, by Allah, he shall not enter it.
6:21
He shall never enter it against our will,
6:24
Lest the Arabs speak of that."
6:29
Sending 'Uthman bin 'Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, to Quraysh.
6:35
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, sent,
6:39
'Uthman bin 'Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, to Makkah,
6:42
To deliver the message of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
6:46
To the leaders of Makkah,
6:48
That he had only come to perform 'Umrah.
6:52
Imam Ahmad has narrated in his Musnad,
6:55
And al-Tahawi in Sharh Mushkil al-Athar with a hasan chain,
6:59
On the authority of al-Miswar bin Makhramah and Marwan bin al-Hakam,
7:02
They said:
7:03
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called,
7:06
'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him,
7:08
To send him to Makkah.
7:10
He said,
7:11
"O Messenger of Allah,
7:13
I fear for my life from Quraysh,
7:16
And there is no one from the Banu 'Adi bin Ka'b,
7:19
To protect me.
7:21
Quraysh knows of my enmity toward them,
7:24
And my harshness against them.
7:26
But I will guide you to a man more honored among them than I,
7:30
'Uthman bin 'Affan."
7:32
So the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, called him,
7:36
And sent him to Quraysh,
7:38
To inform them that he had not come for war,
7:41
And that he had only come as a visitor to this House,
7:45
Honoring its sanctity.
7:47
'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, departed,
7:50
Until he reached Makkah.
7:52
Aban bin Sa'id bin al-'As met him,
7:55
He dismounted from his mount,
7:57
And let him ride behind him and granted him protection,
8:00
So that he could deliver the message of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
8:05
'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, went on,
8:08
Until he came to Abu Sufyan and the notables of Quraysh,
8:12
And conveyed to them from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
8:15
The message he was sent with.
8:17
They said to 'Uthman,
8:19
"If you wish to circumambulate the House, then do so."
8:22
'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
8:25
"I would not do so until the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, has circumambulated it."
8:30
Quraysh detained him with them.
8:33
News reached the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and the Muslims that 'Uthman had been killed.

8:45
If the longing of the worlds for one another is long,
8:51
The longing for you has no bounds.
8:58
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,
9:04
And lips move with the remainder of the remembrance.
