0:00 In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
0:03 Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
0:13 The Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah),
0:17 Authored by Sheikh Musa ibn Rashid al-'Azimi,
0:22 May Allah preserve him.
0:25 His Sermon, Peace and Blessings of Allah Be Upon Him, the Day Following the Conquest.
0:36 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, delivered a sermon on the day following the conquest,
0:43 In which he clarified the inviolability of Mecca,
0:45 And that it was never made lawful for fighting to anyone before him,
0:48 Nor will it ever be made lawful to anyone after him;
0:51 Rather, it was made lawful for him, peace be upon him, for merely a single hour of a day.
0:56 Indeed, the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhari and Muslim] narrated in their Sahihs
0:59 On the authority of Abu Shurayh, that he said to 'Amr ibn Sa'id,
1:03 While the latter was dispatching military expeditions to Mecca:
1:06 "Grant me leave, O prince,
1:08 To relate to you a statement delivered by the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, on the day following the conquest,
1:15 Which my ears heard, my heart retained,
1:19 And my eyes beheld when he spoke it.
1:23 He praised Allah, extolled Him, and then said:
1:27 'Verily, Mecca has been made sacred by Allah, not by the people.
1:31 It is therefore not lawful for any person who believes in Allah and the Last Day
1:35 To shed blood therein,
1:37 Nor to fell a tree therein.
1:40 If anyone seeks a concession based on the fighting of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, within it,
1:46 Say to them: "Indeed, Allah permitted His Messenger, but He did not permit you."
1:51 It was only made lawful for me for a single hour of a day,
1:55 And today its inviolability has returned just as it was yesterday.
1:59 So let the one who is present convey it to the one who is absent.'"
2:02 And the two Shaykhs narrated in their Sahihs
2:05 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that he said:
2:09 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said on the day of the conquest,
2:13 The conquest of Mecca: "There is no migration [after the conquest],
2:16 But rather jihad and righteous intention;
2:19 And whenever you are called to mobilize, then mobilize.
2:22 Indeed, this land was sanctified by Allah on the day He created the heavens and the earth,
2:27 So it remains sacred by the inviolability ordained by Allah until the Day of Resurrection.
2:31 Fighting within it was never made lawful for anyone before me,
2:35 Nor was it made lawful for me except for a single hour of a day.
2:39 It is therefore sacred by the inviolability ordained by Allah until the Day of Resurrection:
2:43 Its thorns shall not be cut, its game shall not be chased,
2:47 Its lost property shall not be picked up except by one announcing it publicly,
2:50 And its fresh grass shall not be uprooted.'"
2:53 Al-'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
2:56 "O Messenger of Allah, except for lemongrass (al-idhkhir),
2:59 For it is essential for their blacksmiths and their houses."
3:02 Thereupon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
3:06 "Except for lemongrass."
3:08 The Duration of the Prophet's Stay, Peace and Blessings of Allah Be Upon Him,
3:15 In Mecca After Its Conquest.
3:18 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, resided
3:22 In Mecca the Ennobled—may Allah honor it—after its conquest
3:26 For nineteen days,
3:29 Shortening the prayer throughout them.
3:31 He, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, also continued
3:34 Not to fast for the remainder of the month of Ramadan.
3:38 For Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih
3:41 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
3:45 "The Prophet, peace be upon him, stayed
3:48 For nineteen days, shortening the prayers."
3:51 And Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih
3:54 On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
3:58 "The Messenger of Allah fasted until he reached al-Kadid—
4:02 The water station situated between Qudayd and 'Usfan—
4:05 Whereupon he broke his fast,
4:07 And he continued not to fast until the month came to an end."
4:10 Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir stated:
4:13 "There is no dispute that he, peace and blessings be upon him,
4:16 Resided for the remainder of the month of Ramadan,
4:19 Shortening the prayer and not fasting."
4:24 The Conquest of Mecca and Its Impact Upon the Arabs.
4:29 The Arabs had been awaiting the outcome of the struggle between the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and Quraysh.
4:36 So when the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, conquered Mecca
4:41 And triumphed over Quraysh,
4:43 They entered into the religion of Allah in multitudes.
4:46 For Imam al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih
4:50 On the authority of 'Amr ibn Salamah al-Jarmi, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
4:54 "The Arabs were withholding their acceptance of Islam until the conquest,
4:58 Meaning they were waiting,
5:00 Saying: 'Leave him and his people alone;
5:03 If he overcomes them,
5:06 Then he is a true prophet.'
5:08 So when the event of the Conquest occurred,
5:11 Every tribe hastened to embrace Islam,
5:14 And my father preceded my tribe with their acceptance of Islam.
5:18 When he returned, he said:
5:20 'By Allah, I have truly come to you from the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him!'"
5:26 And Ibn Ishaq stated:
5:29 "The Arabs were only holding back from embracing Islam
5:33 To observe the affair of this clan of Quraysh
5:35 And the affair of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
5:39 That was because Quraysh were the leaders and guides of the people,
5:44 The custodians of the Sacred House,
5:46 The pure descendants of Isma'il son of Ibrahim, peace be upon him,
5:51 And the acknowledged chiefs of the Arabs;
5:53 None disputed that.
5:55 It was Quraysh who had stood firm in waging war and opposition against the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
6:02 Thus, when Mecca was conquered and Quraysh yielded to him,
6:06 Being thoroughly subdued by Islam,
6:08 The Arabs realized they had no power to wage war against the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, or oppose him,
6:16 So they entered into the religion of Allah,
6:19 As the Exalted and Majestic said: 'in multitudes,'
6:22 Flocking to him from every direction."
6:25 The Abridgment of the Prophetic Biography (Seerah).
6:31 Though the longings of people for one another may endure,
6:37 The longing for you transcends all bounds.
6:44 May Allah send blessings upon you whenever the call to prayer is raised,
6:50 And as long as lips move with remembrance of the Ever-Living.
