In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

An Abridgment of the Prophetic biography (Seerah),
0:17
Authored by Sheikh Musa Al-Rashid Al-'Azimi,
0:23
May Allah preserve him.
0:25
The Wounding of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him)
0:35
Skirmishes continued between the Muslims and the disbelievers,
0:39
And Hibban ibn al-'Ariqah shot an arrow,
0:43
Striking Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) in the medial arm vein (al-akhal).
0:47
Al-akhal is a major vein situated in the middle of the arm.
0:51
Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad, and Ibn Hibban in his Sahih with a good (hasan) chain of transmission,
0:57
On the authority of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:
1:00
"I went out on the Day of the Trench following in the footsteps of the people,
1:04
When I heard a heavy thudding of the ground behind me—
1:07
Meaning the rumbling sound of footsteps on the earth.
1:09
I turned around, and there was Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him),
1:14
Accompanied by his nephew, Al-Harith ibn Aws,
1:17
Carrying a mijannah,
1:19
Which means carrying a shield.
1:21
She said: So I sat down on the ground,
1:24
And Sa'd passed by wearing an iron coat of mail
1:28
From which his limbs protruded,
1:31
And I feared for the exposed limbs of Sa'd,
1:34
For he was among the largest and tallest of men."
1:38
She (may Allah be pleased with her) continued:
1:40
"A man from the polytheists then shot an arrow at Sa'd,
1:44
Who was called Ibn al-'Ariqah.
1:46
He shot him with an arrow of his,
1:48
Calling out to him:
1:49
'Take that! For I am Ibn al-'Ariqah!'
1:52
And it struck his medial vein, severing it."
1:55
Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad and At-Tirmidhi in his Jami' with an authentic chain,
2:01
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), who said:
2:05
"On the Day of the Confederates, Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) was shot,
2:10
And they severed his medial vein.
2:12
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) cauterized it with fire—
2:17
Meaning he applied fire to seal it and stop the bleeding—
2:20
But his hand began to swell.
2:22
So he left it alone,
2:23
And the bleeding resumed heavily.
2:25
He cauterized it a second time, and his hand swelled up again.
2:28
When he saw that,
2:30
He (may Allah be pleased with him) supplicated:
2:32
'O Allah, do not take my soul
2:35
Until You bring solace to my eyes regarding Banu Qurayzah!'
2:38
Thereupon, the bleeding from his vein ceased,
2:40
And not a single drop bled until they surrendered to the judgment of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh."
2:46
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) commanded
2:50
That Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) be moved to the mosque
2:54
In order to receive medical treatment there,
2:56
And so that he could visit him from up close.
2:58
Indeed, the two Shaykhs recorded in their Sahih collections
3:02
On the authority of 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:
3:06
"Sa'd was wounded on the Day of the Trench;
3:09
A man from Quraysh shot him,
3:11
Who was called Hibban ibn al-'Ariqah.
3:14
He struck him in the medial arm vein,
3:16
So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) pitched
3:19
A tent in the mosque in order to visit him from nearby."
3:23
The Continuation of Skirmishes and the Missed Prayers
3:30
When the siege dragged on for the polytheists,
3:34
They resolved to attack early the next morning—
3:37
Meaning they agreed among themselves to advance at the start of the day.
3:41
They spent the night mobilizing their troops,
3:44
Dispatched their squadrons toward every section of the trench,
3:48
And directed toward the tent of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
3:52
A dense, formidable battalion,
3:54
Among whom was Khalid ibn al-Walid.
3:57
The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) confronted them
4:00
And fought them throughout that entire day,
4:03
Lasting well into a late hour of the night—
4:05
Meaning for an extended portion of the night.
4:08
They were completely unable to leave their positions,
4:12
And neither the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
4:16
Nor his Companions were able to perform the 'Asr prayer,
4:19
And according to some narrations,
4:21
Dhuhr, 'Asr, and Maghrib were all delayed past their prescribed times.
4:25
Then the polytheists retreated to their encampments and camp,
4:29
And there was no further fighting after that day
4:32
Until the polytheists eventually departed,
4:35
Though they never ceased sending reconnaissance patrols by night,
4:39
Hoping for an opportunity to launch a raid.
4:41
The two Shaykhs recorded in their Sahih collections
4:44
On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), who said:
4:48
"'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)
4:51
Came on the Day of the Trench after the sun had set,
4:55
And began cursing the disbelievers of Quraysh.
4:58
He said: 'O Messenger of Allah,
5:01
I could scarcely pray 'Asr
5:03
Before the sun was about to set!'
5:06
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied:
5:10
'By Allah, I have not prayed it yet either.'
5:12
So we went down to But-han,
5:14
Where he performed ablution for the prayer and we performed ablution as well.
5:18
He then prayed 'Asr after the sun had set,
5:21
Followed immediately by the Maghrib prayer."
5:24
The two Shaykhs recorded in their Sahih collections,
5:27
With the wording belonging to Muslim,
5:29
On the authority of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
5:33
"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said on the Day of the Confederates:
5:38
'They distracted us from the middle prayer,
5:41
The 'Asr prayer;
5:43
May Allah fill their houses and their graves with fire!'
5:47
Then he performed it between the two evening prayers—
5:50
Between Maghrib and 'Isha'."
5:52
Imam Ahmad recorded in his Musnad,
5:55
With an authentic chain meeting the criteria of Muslim,
5:58
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
6:02
"We were detained from praying on the Day of the Trench
6:05
Until an extended part of the night had passed after Maghrib,
6:10
And that is in reference to the words of Allah Almighty:
6:13
“And Allah repulsed the disbelievers in their wrath; they gained no good. Allah averted their attack from the believers. Allah is ever Strong, Mighty.” (33:25)
6:16
'And Allah is Ever-All-Strong, All-Mighty.'
6:19
He said: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) summoned Bilal,
6:25
Who pronounced the iqamah for the Dhuhr prayer,
6:27
And he prayed it, performing its prayer with utmost excellence,
6:30
Exactly as he used to pray it within its proper time.
6:33
He then commanded him to call the iqamah for 'Asr,
6:36
And he prayed it, performing its prayer with utmost excellence,
6:39
Exactly as he used to pray it within its proper time.
6:42
He then commanded him to call the iqamah for Maghrib,
6:45
And he prayed it in the same manner.
6:48
He said: And that was before Allah revealed the ruling
6:51
Regarding the Fear Prayer: 'whether on foot or riding.'
6:55
Imam An-Nawawi said:
6:58
'Know that in this hadith mentioned here,
7:01
As well as in Al-Bukhari,
7:03
It is stated that the missed prayer was the 'Asr prayer,
7:06
Which ostensibly suggests that no other prayer was missed.
7:09
Yet in the Muwatta' it states that they were Dhuhr and 'Asr,
7:12
While in other narrations,
7:15
It is reported that he delayed four prayers:
7:18
Dhuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha',
7:21
Until an extended part of the night had elapsed.
7:24
The way to reconcile these various narrations
7:27
Is that the Battle of the Trench lasted for several days,
7:30
So this occurred on certain days,
7:33
While that occurred on others.'"
8:02
And moved
8:05
With the remainder
8:09
His lips.
