In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
0:03
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
0:12
A summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).
0:17
The prostration of the disbelievers of Quraysh.
0:24
In Ramadan of the fifth year of the Prophetic mission,
0:28
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, went out to the Sacred Mosque.
0:33
A large number of the leaders and notables of Quraysh were present there.
0:37
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stood among them,
0:41
And began to recite Surah al-Najm.
0:44
When he took them by surprise with the recitation of this surah,
0:48
And their ears were struck by divine words, magnificent and captivating,
0:53
Whose splendor and majesty defy description,
0:56
They were completely absorbed in what they heard.
0:59
Each one remained listening intently to him,
1:02
With nothing else crossing their minds.
1:05
Until, when he reached the final verses of this surah,
1:09
Which contain warnings that make hearts tremble,
1:12
He then read,
1:13
"So prostrate to Allah and worship [Him]."
1:16
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, then prostrated.
1:20
No one could restrain themselves, and they all fell down in prostration.
1:25
In truth,
1:27
The splendor of the Truth had shattered the stubbornness
1:30
Within the souls of the arrogant and the mockers,
1:33
So they could not help but fall down in prostration to Allah.
1:38
The two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their Sahih collections,
1:40
With the wording belonging to al-Bukhari,
1:42
On the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
1:46
"The first surah in which a prostration was revealed was al-Najm."
1:51
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, prostrated,
1:55
And those behind him prostrated,
1:57
Except for one man whom I saw take a handful of dirt and prostrate upon it.
2:02
I saw him later killed as a disbeliever,
2:05
And he was Umayyah Ibn Khalaf.
2:08
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad with a sound chain of transmission,
2:12
On the authority of al-Muttalib Ibn Abi Wada'ah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
2:16
"I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, prostrate during [the recitation of] al-Najm,
2:21
And the people prostrated with him,
2:23
But I did not prostrate with them."
2:25
He was a polytheist at that time.
2:28
"I will never cease to prostrate during it ever again."
2:33
The return of the migrants to Abyssinia to Makkah.
2:38
This news reached the migrants in Abyssinia, may Allah be pleased with them,
2:44
But in a form completely different from the reality.
2:49
It reached them that the people of Makkah had embraced Islam,
2:52
And that they had prostrated with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
2:56
The migrants said,
2:58
"Our own kin are dearer to us,"
3:01
So they left Abyssinia, returning to Makkah.
3:05
This was in Shawwal of the fifth year of the Prophetic mission.
3:09
When they were an hour's distance from Makkah,
3:13
The truth became clear to them,
3:15
And they realized that the polytheists were more hostile than ever to Allah, His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and the Muslims.
3:24
They considered returning to the land of Abyssinia,
3:28
But they said, "We have already reached Makkah."
3:31
So they entered Makkah,
3:32
And none of them entered except in secret,
3:36
Or under the protection of a man from Quraysh.
3:39
Some of them returned to Abyssinia.
3:42
Al-Hafiz al-Bayhaqi said:
3:44
"We have narrated that it was revealed after 'Uthman Ibn 'Affan had migrated,
3:49
Along with 'Uthman Ibn Maz'un and their companions, may Allah be pleased with them, to the land of Abyssinia in the first migration."
3:56
When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, recited it in prayer,
4:01
And he prostrated, and the Muslims and the polytheists prostrated,
4:05
And the news reached them,
4:07
They returned.
4:08
Then they migrated the second time with Ja'far Ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him,
4:14
And that was two years before the Night Journey (Isra').
4:27
Presented by the Mawaddah Association in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The rest will be in the next session.
