A Summary of the Prophetic biography.

The first blood shed in Islam.
0:24
When the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, would pray,
0:29
they would go to the mountain passes to perform their prayers in secret, away from their people.
0:34
While Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him,
0:37
was with a group of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah,
0:42
in one of the mountain passes of Makkah,
0:45
a group of polytheists appeared upon them while they were praying.
0:49
They disapproved of them and criticized what they were doing, until they fought them.
0:54
On that day, Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas struck
0:59
a man from among the polytheists with a camel's jawbone, wounding him.
1:03
Thus, he was the first to shed blood in Islam.
1:07
Al-Hakim recorded this in Al-Mustadrak with an authentic chain of narration,
1:10
on the authority of Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, who said:
1:13
"Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him,
1:17
was the first to shed blood in the cause of Allah."
1:21
This news reached the Quraysh,
1:24
but they did not pay it much attention.
1:26
Perhaps they considered Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
1:30
to be one of those religious seekers who speak
1:34
about divinity and its rights,
1:36
just as Umayyah ibn Abi al-Salt, Quss ibn Sa'idah,
1:40
Zayd ibn 'Amr ibn Nufayl, and their likes had done.
1:44
However, they felt a sense of apprehension regarding the spread of his message and the growth of his influence,
1:49
and they began to monitor the fate of his call as the days passed.
1:54
Three years passed,
1:56
and the call remained secret and individual.
2:00
During this period,
2:02
a community of believers was formed,
2:05
based on brotherhood and cooperation,
2:07
and the conveying and establishing of the message in its rightful place.
2:11
Then, revelation descended upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
2:16
commanding him to proclaim the call.
