A Summary of the Prophetic biography.
0:20
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, placed the Black Stone with his own noble hand.
0:28
When the Quraysh reached the place of the Black Stone while rebuilding the Kaaba,
0:34
they disputed over who should have the honor of placing it.
0:36
The situation nearly escalated into war among them.
0:40
They agreed to let the first person to enter through the gate of Banu Shaybah judge between them.
0:46
Allah decreed that the first person to enter through the gate of Banu Shaybah upon them
0:51
was the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
0:55
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad,
0:58
and al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak with a sound (sahih) chain of narration,
1:01
with the wording belonging to al-Hakim,
1:03
on the authority of Abdullah Ibn al-Sa'ib, who said:
1:06
The Quraysh differed regarding the Stone when they intended to place it,
1:10
to the point that they were nearly fighting one another with swords.
1:15
They said,
1:16
"Appoint as an arbiter between you the first man to enter through this gate."
1:20
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, entered.
1:24
They said,
1:25
"This is the Trustworthy One (al-Amin)."
1:27
They used to call him the Trustworthy One during the pre-Islamic era.
1:31
They said, "O Muhammad,
1:33
we are satisfied with you."
1:36
He called for a garment, spread it out, and placed the Stone inside it.
1:40
Then he said to this clan and that clan,
1:44
"Let every clan among you take hold of a side of the garment."
1:48
They did so.
1:49
Then they lifted it.
1:51
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took it,
1:55
and placed it with his own hand.
1:57
In another narration in al-Mustadrak,
1:59
and in Dala'il al-Nubuwwah by al-Bayhaqi with a good (hasan) chain of narration,
2:03
on the authority of Ali Ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
2:08
When they wanted to place the Stone,
2:10
they quarreled over who would place it.
2:12
They said,
2:14
"The first person to emerge from this gate shall place it."
2:18
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, emerged
2:21
from the direction of the gate of Banu Shaybah.
2:24
He ordered a garment to be brought and spread out,
2:26
and the Stone was placed in its center.
2:29
Then he ordered a man from every tribe of the Quraysh
2:33
to take hold of a side of the garment.
2:35
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took it with his hand,
2:40
and placed it.
2:43
Allah protected His Messenger, peace be upon him, before his mission.
2:50
Allah, glory be to Him, guarded and shielded His Messenger, peace be upon him,
2:56
and purified him from the filth of the pre-Islamic era and from every defect.
3:00
He endowed him with every beautiful character trait,
3:03
so that he was known among his people only as the Trustworthy One,
3:08
because of what they witnessed of his purity,
3:10
the truthfulness of his speech, and his trustworthiness, peace be upon him.
3:15
Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:
3:17
Then Allah made seclusion and worship of his Lord beloved to him.
3:21
He would seclude himself in the cave of Hira,
3:24
worshipping therein for a number of nights.
3:28
Idols and the religion of his people were made hateful to him,
3:31
and there was nothing more hateful to him than that.
