00:00:05,397 --> 00:00:08,804
The Life Of Muhammad ﷺ, The Makkan Period,

2
00:00:09,317 --> 00:00:10,946
By Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki,

3
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:14,370
اَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَّ الشِّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمِ۝بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَانِ الرَّحِيْمَ۝

4
00:00:14,464 --> 00:00:21,112
اَلْحَمْدُ لله وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلى سَيِّدِنَا محمد وَعَلَى اَلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلِّمْ تَسْلِيْمًا كَثِيْرا

5
00:00:23,005 --> 00:00:28,201
Lessons from the journey of Rasool Allah ﷺ to At-Taef(ألطائف).

6
00:00:30,436 --> 00:00:39,513
Zaid Bin Harissa(زيد بن حارثه) was the one protecting Rasool Allah ﷺ from the rocks,

7
00:00:39,862 --> 00:00:44,311
 that were being thrown at Muhammad صلوات الله وسلام عليه.

8
00:00:45,223 --> 00:00:53,195
So, Zaid Bin Harissa(زيد بن حارثه) was protecting Rasool Allah ﷺ shielding him with his own body.

9
00:00:55,757 --> 00:01:05,407
In the Battle of Uhud(احد), we have similar stories of Sahabah(صحابہ) using their backs

10
00:01:05,945 --> 00:01:09,169
not just to protect Rasool Allah ﷺ from rocks like in this incident,

11
00:01:09,224 --> 00:01:11,185
but to protect him from arrows.

12
00:01:13,255 --> 00:01:16,713
This was the level of sacrifice that the Sahabahرضي الله عنهم had.

13
00:01:19,281 --> 00:01:24,234
Now we might not have a chance to protect Rasool Allah ﷺ with our physical bodies.

14
00:01:25,806 --> 00:01:38,133
So, if we missed that chance, let's make it up, by protecting Rasool Allah ﷺ through defending his message,

15
00:01:39,467 --> 00:01:42,237
through protecting his honor,

16
00:01:43,443 --> 00:01:49,919
 through teaching others about his life, Muslims and non Muslims, let's do our part.

17
00:01:51,736 --> 00:01:56,720
Abu Muslim Al-Khaulaani(ابو مسلم الخولاني) one of the greatest of At-Tabaeen(التابعين), he said;

18
00:01:57,219 --> 00:02:01,855
Do the companions of Rasool Allah ﷺ think that

19
00:02:02,053 --> 00:02:07,863
we will let them, have Rasool Allah ﷺ for themselves?

20
00:02:08,252 --> 00:02:10,215
No, we're going to compete with them.

21
00:02:11,373 --> 00:02:13,993
We want to get our share of the Messenger of Allah.

22
00:02:15,501 --> 00:02:20,905
So, even though we're living centuries past the time of Muhammadﷺ

23
00:02:21,610 --> 00:02:28,363
so we cannot participate physically, in helping him, in his mission

24
00:02:29,512 --> 00:02:31,208
but it's not too late.

25
00:02:31,843 --> 00:02:33,798
There's a lot that we could do.

26
00:02:34,272 --> 00:02:37,261
That would resemble what Zaid Bin Harissa(زيد بن حارثه) did on that day.

27
00:02:38,627 --> 00:02:45,135
It might not ever be as great as what Zaid Bin Harissa(زيد بن حارثه) did or what Talha(طلحه) did on the day of Uhud(احد)

28
00:02:45,805 --> 00:02:48,300
but at least we can try and do something.

29
00:02:49,856 --> 00:02:54,133
And when we study the Seerah(سيرة) of Rasool Allah ﷺ, and when we developed love for him

30
00:02:54,673 --> 00:03:03,061
it needs to encourage us to go through the same footsteps that the students of Rasool Allah ﷺ went through.

31
00:03:05,075 --> 00:03:09,135
The second lesson, when Rasool Allah ﷺ was speaking to the people of At-Taef(ألطائف).

32
00:03:09,619 --> 00:03:12,270
No one responded to him, they all rejected him.

33
00:03:12,736 --> 00:03:17,513
But remember what we said, Do good because you never know what the outcome will be.

34
00:03:18,431 --> 00:03:20,769
Rasool Allah ﷺ was chased out of At-Taef(ألطائف).

35
00:03:20,896 --> 00:03:25,499
So, he might have thought that his words did not really leave an effect on them.

36
00:03:26,081 --> 00:03:29,782
But among the crowds Rasool Allah ﷺ was speaking to, was a child.

37
00:03:29,989 --> 00:03:32,719
His name is Khalid Al-Udwaan(خالدالعدواني),

38
00:03:33,708 --> 00:03:35,663
he's a member of the tribe of Thaqeef(ثقيف).

39
00:03:36,648 --> 00:03:43,442
He said: I was standing there listening to the speech of Rasool Allah ﷺ in the fair grounds of At-Taef(ألطائف)

40
00:03:44,114 --> 00:03:47,813
and I heard the messenger of Allah recites Surah-At-Tariq(سورة الطارق).

41
00:03:48,488 --> 00:03:52,131
And I remembered it then, when I was still an non believer.

42
00:03:54,385 --> 00:03:57,657
And when I became Muslim, I already knew that Surah(سورة).

43
00:03:59,865 --> 00:04:05,010
So, here we have Rasool Allah ﷺ giving a speech to adults, nobody cared about what Rasool Allah ﷺ said,

44
00:04:05,256 --> 00:04:10,808
but there was a child in there who remembered and memorized Surah-At-Tariq(سورة الطارق)

45
00:04:11,296 --> 00:04:15,310
by listening to it, from the mouth of Rasool Allah ﷺ in At-Taef(ألطائف),

46
00:04:15,597 --> 00:04:22,447
and years later, Rasool Allah ﷺ is seeing the harvest of the seed that he planted in At-Taef(ألطائف).

47
00:04:24,345 --> 00:04:28,114
So, do good, because you never know what the outcome will be.

48
00:04:29,233 --> 00:04:30,119
Number three,

49
00:04:30,837 --> 00:04:35,903
we talked about what happened between Rasool Allah ﷺ and Addaas(عداس),

50
00:04:35,983 --> 00:04:38,125
didn't you remember Addaas(عداس), the Christian.

51
00:04:39,402 --> 00:04:42,837
Over here, you have an example of Da'wah(دعوة) through action.

52
00:04:45,039 --> 00:04:51,674
Rasool Allah ﷺ started by saying Bismillah(بسم الله) an Islamic act.

53
00:04:52,770 --> 00:05:02,250
This Islamic act even though it seems simple and small, was the cause of the Islam of Addaas(عداس).

54
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,263
Because Addaas(عداس) never heard this before, in this land of the Arabs.

55
00:05:08,337 --> 00:05:10,829
They don't say Bismillah(بسم الله), they don't start in the name of Allah.

56
00:05:11,354 --> 00:05:14,793
And that opened up a conversation between Rasool Allah ﷺ and Addaas(عداس)

57
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,534
that ended up with Addaas(عداس), admitting the Prophet hood of Muhammadﷺ and believing in him.

58
00:05:20,195 --> 00:05:24,431
So, sometimes you might do something without paying attention,

59
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:28,982
but it's attracting the attention of others around you.

60
00:05:29,382 --> 00:05:35,609
 And that might open the door for them to have some curiosity,

61
00:05:36,692 --> 00:05:40,329
and that will be the beginning of their studying of Islam,

62
00:05:40,647 --> 00:05:44,410
which might end with them accepting the religion of Allah.

63
00:05:45,292 --> 00:05:48,879
So, sometimes our Da'wah(دعوة) could be indirectly through our action.

64
00:05:50,191 --> 00:05:55,670
And the reputation of the Sahabahرضي الله عنهم that they developed after Islam

65
00:05:55,940 --> 00:05:59,797
had a major role in attracting many of the other Arabs to Islam.

66
00:06:00,186 --> 00:06:07,436
So, it wasn't necessarily their words, but it was their behavior, their character, the way they changed in Islam.

67
00:06:09,219 --> 00:06:17,238
Now Rasool Allah ﷺ had to leave At-Taef(ألطائف), he was rejected by the people in At-Taef(ألطائف)

68
00:06:18,057 --> 00:06:21,493
and we said earlier that with difficulty comes ease.

69
00:06:21,573 --> 00:06:23,039
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

70
00:06:23,858 --> 00:06:29,085
Rasool Allah ﷺ went through a difficult time, hardship in At-Taef(ألطائف).

71
00:06:29,523 --> 00:06:34,165
Allahسبحانه وتعالى followed it with a blessing.

72
00:06:35,126 --> 00:06:41,422
Rasool Allah ﷺ was reciting Qur'an in the desert and some Jinn(جن) happened to be in the area.

73
00:06:41,842 --> 00:06:44,602
And the words of Qur'an attracted them.

74
00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:51,736
And they came to Rasool Allah ﷺ and learned from him, verses of Qur'an and ended up becoming Muslim.

75
00:06:52,509 --> 00:06:53,751
What are Jinn(جن)?

76
00:06:54,092 --> 00:07:01,692
Jinn(جن) is a world of creatures that has intelligence, lives with us on earth

77
00:07:02,168 --> 00:07:05,605
have quite a similar structure, life structure like we do,

78
00:07:05,922 --> 00:07:13,539
 they have clans, families, tribes, nations, they speak different dialects, languages follow different religions.

79
00:07:13,859 --> 00:07:15,838
So, they are pretty similar to human beings.

80
00:07:16,178 --> 00:07:19,821
The difference is that they were created from fire, we were created from clay,

81
00:07:20,114 --> 00:07:22,043
they see us and we don't see them.

82
00:07:23,707 --> 00:07:28,063
But there are Jinn(جن) who are Christian, there are Muslim Jinn(جن), there are Jewish Jinn(جن)

83
00:07:29,043 --> 00:07:32,787
There are Jinn who speak Arabic, Jinn(جن) who speak English, Jinn(جن) who speak Russian.

84
00:07:33,847 --> 00:07:38,379
And they might even follow the customs of the land that they live in.

85
00:07:40,229 --> 00:07:47,525
And many of these supernatural or strange events that people talk about and you see on the front pages of tabloids

86
00:07:48,232 --> 00:07:53,894
a sighting of a UFO and all of those interesting things, might easily be explained as Jinn(جن).

87
00:07:55,132 --> 00:07:59,242
There is an intelligent world is living with us on earth.

88
00:08:00,372 --> 00:08:07,450
And these haunted places and all of this can be explained easily by Muslims, it's not a big deal for us.

89
00:08:08,182 --> 00:08:13,241
Ya'ani(يعني) we have all of this mythology that is surrounding, this supernatural events

90
00:08:13,321 --> 00:08:20,480
and you have a whole entertainment industry that is based on it and movies and stories and Halloween and all that stuff,

91
00:08:20,988 --> 00:08:27,711
when there's simple thing behind it and that is that there is a world of creatures living with us that we cannot see.

92
00:08:28,044 --> 00:08:31,357
Sometimes we might have sightings of them but most of the time we don't.

93
00:08:31,453 --> 00:08:35,200
While they have access to us and they can see us.

94
00:08:35,476 --> 00:08:38,083
So, these Jinn(جن) came to Rasool Allah ﷺ and became Muslim.

95
00:08:38,339 --> 00:08:44,363
Now there might have been more than one incident in which Jinn(جن) came to Rasool Allah ﷺ and became Muslim

96
00:08:44,569 --> 00:08:48,124
because we have the story of Al-Jinn(جن) is mentioned twice in Qur'an

97
00:08:48,164 --> 00:08:50,747
once in Surah Jinn(سورة الجن) and once in Surah Ah'qaaf(سورة الأحقاف)

98
00:08:51,499 --> 00:08:53,126
the verses of Surah Ah'qaaf(سورة الأحقاف),

99
00:08:53,648 --> 00:09:02,446
وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْآنَ

100
00:09:02,620 --> 00:09:08,771
فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوا أَنْصِتُوا ۖ

101
00:09:09,223 --> 00:09:15,380
فَلَمَّا قُضِيَ وَلَّوْا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِمْ مُنْذِرِينَ۝

102
00:09:15,985 --> 00:09:25,205
قَالُوا يَا قَوْمَنَا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا كِتَابًا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مُوسَىٰ

103
00:09:25,817 --> 00:09:33,468
كِتَابًا أُنْزِلَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مُوسَىٰ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ

104
00:09:34,007 --> 00:09:40,224
 يَهْدِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ وَإِلَىٰ طَرِيقٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ۝

105
00:09:40,524 --> 00:09:46,933
And mention, O Muhammad(محمد) when we directed to you a few of the Jinn(جن) listening to the Qur'an.

106
00:09:47,265 --> 00:09:50,470
 And when they attended it, they said listen quietly.

107
00:09:50,922 --> 00:09:55,652
And when it was concluded, they went back to their people as Warner's

108
00:09:55,966 --> 00:10:02,083
They said: O our people indeed we have heard a recited book revealed after Moses

109
00:10:02,397 --> 00:10:07,554
confirming what was before it, which guides to the truth and to a straight path.

110
00:10:08,339 --> 00:10:14,945
One commentator of Qur'an, who gave Tafseer(تفسير), asks this following question.

111
00:10:14,985 --> 00:10:22,306
He says, How come the Jinn(جن) said that we have heard something that was revealed after Musa(موسى),

112
00:10:22,683 --> 00:10:24,279
and they didn't say after Eesa(عيسى),

113
00:10:24,889 --> 00:10:28,913
how come the Jinn(جن) brought up the name of Moses and didn't bring up the name of Jesus.

114
00:10:29,453 --> 00:10:33,590
And his explanation was that these Jinn(جن) were Jewish.

115
00:10:35,367 --> 00:10:37,603
And they were following the message of Musa(موسى).

116
00:10:38,623 --> 00:10:40,063
So, when they heard Qur'an.

117
00:10:40,103 --> 00:10:45,058
They said: This is a revelation that is coming after the revelation that was given to Musa(موسى)

118
00:10:45,538 --> 00:10:52,075
and this commentator says that these Jinn(جن) actually, were from Yemen, where there were some Jews.

119
00:10:53,345 --> 00:10:57,118
That's one way to look at the verse, it's not necessarily the only view

120
00:10:57,213 --> 00:11:02,763
 but it's also an indication that the Jinn(جن) would follow the customs of the people in their area.

121
00:11:04,063 --> 00:11:10,094
They said, O our people, indeed we have heard the recited book revealed after Musa(موسى)

122
00:11:10,404 --> 00:11:14,967
confirming what was before it and guides to the truth and to a straight path.

123
00:11:16,187 --> 00:11:23,026
يَا قَوْمَنَا أَجِيبُوا دَاعِيَ اللَّهِ وَآمِنُوا بِهِ

124
00:11:23,205 --> 00:11:30,512
يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ مِنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُجِرْكُمْ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ۝

125
00:11:30,928 --> 00:11:42,526
وَمَنْ لَا يُجِبْ دَاعِيَ اللَّهِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُعْجِزٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْ دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءُ ۚ

126
00:11:42,995 --> 00:11:47,923
أُولَٰئِكَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ۝

127
00:11:48,610 --> 00:11:53,078
O our people respond to the caller of Allah and believe in Him,

128
00:11:53,284 --> 00:11:58,133
He, Allah will forgive you, your sins and protect you from a painful punishment.

129
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,978
But he, who does not respond to the caller of Allah will not cause failure to Him upon earth

130
00:12:04,488 --> 00:12:10,045
and he will not have besides him any protectors, those are in manifest errors.

131
00:12:10,795 --> 00:12:17,571
So, this was an example of something good that happened to Rasool Allah ﷺ, after something that was difficult.

132
00:12:18,375 --> 00:12:22,583
This is mentioned to happen after At-Taef(ألطائف).

133
00:12:24,185 --> 00:12:27,278
Rasool Allah ﷺ now has to enter into Makkah again.

134
00:12:27,468 --> 00:12:33,209
Now getting in, is not like leaving, you could leave easily, but it's not easy to get into Makkah again

135
00:12:33,595 --> 00:12:35,465
especially after the news reached to Makkah,

136
00:12:35,552 --> 00:12:40,649
that Rasool Allah ﷺ, has went to preach his message to the people of At-Taef(ألطائف).

137
00:12:41,046 --> 00:12:44,920
So, now Rasool Allah ﷺ is not able to go into Makkah again.

138
00:12:45,257 --> 00:12:51,718
He has to seek the protection of someone in order to enter into his own town.

139
00:12:52,420 --> 00:12:55,547
So, Rasool Allah ﷺ is now camping outside of Makkah,

140
00:12:55,991 --> 00:12:59,976
trying to find somebody who would sponsor him and give him protection.

141
00:13:01,133 --> 00:13:08,346
He sent a message with a man named Uraiqat(عريقت), to go to a Al-Akhnas Bin Shuraiq(ألأخنس بن شريق).

142
00:13:08,927 --> 00:13:11,332
Now, Al-Akhnas Bin Shuraiq(ألأخنس بن شريق) was living in Makkah.

143
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:15,679
He was an ally of the people of Quraish(قُرَيْشْ), even though he wasn't one of them.

144
00:13:16,254 --> 00:13:22,501
So, when Al-Akhnas(ألأخنس) received the message from Muhammadﷺ, he said;

145
00:13:22,764 --> 00:13:29,272
Since I'm an ally of Quraish(قُرَيْشْ), I cannot give protection to somebody, who's from Quraish(قُرَيْشْ).

146
00:13:30,270 --> 00:13:34,882
I'm only an ally, I cannot go over my authority

147
00:13:35,459 --> 00:13:41,276
and give protection to somebody who's from the tribe whom, I'm an ally of.

148
00:13:41,789 --> 00:13:46,315
So, Al-Akhnas Bin Shuraiq(ألأخنس بن شريق) turned down the request.

149
00:13:46,784 --> 00:13:51,428
Muhammadﷺ sent the same message again, to Sohail Bin Amr(سهيل ابن عمرو),

150
00:13:51,849 --> 00:13:56,098
Sohail Bin Amr(سهيل ابن عمرو) said, I cannot give you protection

151
00:13:56,352 --> 00:14:04,144
 because the clan of Amr Bin Loae(عمرو بن لؤئي) cannot give protection to somebody who's from Ka'ab Bin Loae(كعب بن لؤئي).

152
00:14:05,102 --> 00:14:13,221
Rasool Allah ﷺ tried the third time and he sent this time a message, a request to Mut'am Bin Udae(مطعم بن عدي).

153
00:14:13,948 --> 00:14:17,562
Mut'am Bin Udae(مطعم بن عدي) did accept the request.

154
00:14:17,951 --> 00:14:24,528
And Muhammadﷺ went and spent the night at his house early in the morning,

155
00:14:25,116 --> 00:14:32,877
Al-Mut'am(المطعم) asked six or seven of his sons to carry their swords and to put on some special clothes

156
00:14:33,157 --> 00:14:38,863
and to go out surrounding Muhammadﷺ and to escort him to Al-Ka'aba(اَلْكَعْبَه).

157
00:14:39,669 --> 00:14:45,200
When they reached their they had a seat, over watching Muhammadﷺ, while he was making Tawaf(طواف).

158
00:14:46,824 --> 00:14:51,136
So, Abu Sufiyan(ابوسفيان) came to Al-Mut'am(المطعم)

159
00:14:51,184 --> 00:14:55,319
and told him: Are you giving him protection, or are you following him?

160
00:14:56,183 --> 00:14:58,475
Al-Mut'am(المطعم) said: I'm only giving him protection.

161
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,356
Abu Sufiyan(ابوسفيان) said: If that's the case, we will accept your protection.

162
00:15:06,021 --> 00:15:12,708
So, Rasool Allah ﷺ now is giving Da'wah(دعوة) in Makkah under the protection of Al-Mut'am Bin Jubair(المطعم بن جبير).

163
00:15:15,033 --> 00:15:19,748
Rasool Allah ﷺ after the passing away of Abu Talib(ابو طالب) and Khadijah(خديجه)

164
00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:25,754
and seeing the stalemate that the mission reached in Makkah,

165
00:15:26,933 --> 00:15:30,731
even though there was still some converts trickling in,

166
00:15:31,382 --> 00:15:39,324
but overall it was reaching to a stagnating state, and many avenues were being blocked.

167
00:15:40,222 --> 00:15:44,389
So, the Messenger of Allah felt the necessity of finding an alternative base

168
00:15:44,889 --> 00:15:48,433
somewhere where he can have freedom to propagate the message.

169
00:15:49,124 --> 00:15:54,030
And he was actively pursuing that goal by meeting with the Arab tribes,

170
00:15:54,095 --> 00:15:56,712
Arab delegates, during the season of pilgrimage,

171
00:15:56,797 --> 00:16:02,171
because that is a time when people come from all over Arabia to one location, Makkah.

172
00:16:02,766 --> 00:16:07,369
So, Rasool Allah ﷺ would devote the days of Hajj(حَجْ) to visiting the camps of the Arabs,

173
00:16:07,454 --> 00:16:12,662
 he would visit every tribe in their campground, and give them Da'wah(دعوة) and ask them for protection.

174
00:16:13,776 --> 00:16:14,808
Az-Zuhri(ألزهري) states;

175
00:16:14,839 --> 00:16:21,260
The Messenger of Allah would, for the period of those years present himself to the Arab tribes at each fair

176
00:16:21,536 --> 00:16:26,396
speaking with each tribal leader, but asking them only for their protection and support.

177
00:16:26,629 --> 00:16:27,479
He would say;

178
00:16:28,102 --> 00:16:30,805
I don't wish to force any of you to do anything.

179
00:16:31,297 --> 00:16:35,249
Any of you who agree to what I asked may do so.

180
00:16:35,521 --> 00:16:39,109
But I would not compel anyone not so wishing.

181
00:16:39,511 --> 00:16:43,216
All I want, is to guard myself against those, who want to kill me,

182
00:16:43,586 --> 00:16:46,216
so that I may fulfill my Lord's mission

183
00:16:46,454 --> 00:16:51,623
and carry out whatever decree He wishes regarding myself and those who support me.

184
00:16:52,608 --> 00:16:56,820
And then, Az-Zuhri(ألزهري) says, but not one of them accepted him.

185
00:16:57,066 --> 00:17:00,466
Every one of those tribes reached the following conclusion,

186
00:17:00,980 --> 00:17:03,286
the man's own tribe knew him best,

187
00:17:03,508 --> 00:17:06,230
how could we accept as suitable for us,

188
00:17:06,467 --> 00:17:10,738
someone who has subverted his tribe, and whom they have expelled.

189
00:17:12,092 --> 00:17:16,229
Since his tribe did not accept him, they know best, that was their conclusion.

190
00:17:16,892 --> 00:17:21,046
By the way, Az-Zuhri(ألزهري) is one of the early Muslim scholars.

191
00:17:22,173 --> 00:17:26,901
He was among the generation of At-Tabaeen(ألتابعين) or little later than that.

192
00:17:27,186 --> 00:17:35,131
And he was the one, who was given the responsibility of compiling Hadith(حديث),

193
00:17:35,450 --> 00:17:37,402
which happened during the time of Umar Bin Abdel Aziz(عمر بن عبدالعزيز).

194
00:17:37,442 --> 00:17:42,533
This was the first official project to compile the Hadith(حديث) of Rasool Allah ﷺ,

195
00:17:42,831 --> 00:17:46,801
and the one entrusted with this mission was Az-Zuhri(ألزهري)

196
00:17:47,135 --> 00:17:52,267
and the one, who appointed him to that position was the Khalifah(خليفه) himself, Umar Bin Abdel Aziz(عمر بن عبدالعزيز).

197
00:17:53,774 --> 00:17:56,349
So, again, these were the words of Az-Zuhri(الزهري).

198
00:17:59,266 --> 00:18:02,867
Ibn Is'haqq(اِبْنِ اِسْحَاقْ) stated that Ibn Shahabah Az-Zohri(ابن شهاب الزهري), again is relating to him

199
00:18:03,157 --> 00:18:09,721
that Muhammadﷺ visited some of the tribes and he narrates the story of visiting the tribe of Kinda(كنده).

200
00:18:11,406 --> 00:18:15,205
Rasool Allah ﷺ went to them gave them Da'wah(دعوة).

201
00:18:15,634 --> 00:18:16,562
They refused him.

202
00:18:17,035 --> 00:18:22,633
Rasool Allah ﷺ next, went to a tribe or a clan called Bannu Abdillah(بنو عبدالله),

203
00:18:23,340 --> 00:18:24,780
the sons of AbdAllah(عبدالله).

204
00:18:25,432 --> 00:18:30,133
So, Rasool Allah ﷺ went to them explaining Islam and then he told them

205
00:18:30,399 --> 00:18:34,026
and look at how Allah has chosen for you, a good name.

206
00:18:34,875 --> 00:18:40,000
You are the sons of AbdAllah(عبدالله) but also they turned him down.

207
00:18:40,891 --> 00:18:44,275
Next Rasool Allah ﷺ went to the tribe of Bannu Hanifah(بنو حنيفه).

208
00:18:44,841 --> 00:18:48,270
And they treated Rasool Allah ﷺ so bad,

209
00:18:48,547 --> 00:18:54,420
Az-Zuhri(ألزهري) says none of the Arabs gave him so rude a rejection as they did.

210
00:18:55,157 --> 00:19:01,562
And Subhaan Allah(سُبْحَان الله), these same people Bannu Hanifah(بنو حنيفه) are the ones, who years later

211
00:19:01,927 --> 00:19:07,307
are going to lead the worst revolt ever against Muhammadﷺ,

212
00:19:07,669 --> 00:19:09,650
which happened right before he died,

213
00:19:09,878 --> 00:19:13,195
 and was only ended in the time of Abu Bakr As-Siddiqueرضي الله عنه

214
00:19:13,377 --> 00:19:15,772
and this revolt was led by Musailima Al Kazzab(مسيلمه الكذاب).

215
00:19:17,410 --> 00:19:20,087
Musailima Al Kazzab(مسيلمه الكذاب) was from the tribe of Bannu Hanifah(بنوحنيفه).

216
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,253
Musailima Al Kazzab(مسيلمه الكذاب) is the man, who claimed Prophet hood.

217
00:19:23,824 --> 00:19:26,930
And this was the greatest revolt

218
00:19:26,970 --> 00:19:32,920
and one of the worst battles that occurred against the Muslim armies.

219
00:19:34,755 --> 00:19:41,980
Next, Rasool Allah ﷺ went to the campgrounds of the tribe of Bannu Aamir Bin Sa'saa(بنوعامر بن صعصعة).

220
00:19:43,538 --> 00:19:50,882
Bannu Aamir Bin Sa'saa(بنوعامر بن صعصعة), when their leader Bayhara Bin Faraas(بيحرة بن فراس) met Rasool Allah ﷺ,

221
00:19:51,152 --> 00:19:53,642
and saw him and listen to his words.

222
00:19:55,011 --> 00:19:58,356
He became so impressed by what he saw.

223
00:19:58,827 --> 00:20:00,279
So, Bayhara(بيحرة) said;

224
00:20:00,785 --> 00:20:08,213
I swear if I were to have this brave man of Quraish(قُرَيْشْ), I could eat up the Arabs with him.

225
00:20:09,745 --> 00:20:11,865
Now, Bayhara(بيحرة) is thinking politics.

226
00:20:12,317 --> 00:20:14,651
He wants to recruit Muhammadﷺ.

227
00:20:15,111 --> 00:20:15,776
Why.?

228
00:20:15,929 --> 00:20:18,481
To conquer the lands of the Arabs

229
00:20:18,722 --> 00:20:22,123
because he saw that Muhammadﷺ possess qualities that were unique.

230
00:20:23,234 --> 00:20:25,450
So, he told Muhammadﷺ;

231
00:20:26,331 --> 00:20:29,040
If we were to follow your orders,

232
00:20:29,128 --> 00:20:32,204
and then Allah gave you a victory against those opposing you,

233
00:20:32,434 --> 00:20:35,323
would we have power after you were gone.

234
00:20:36,287 --> 00:20:41,821
So, the response of Muhammadﷺ was that,

235
00:20:42,022 --> 00:20:46,605
اَلْاَرْضُ لِله يُوْرِثُهَا مَنْ يَشَاءْ وَ الْعَاقِبَة لِلْمُتَّقِيْنْ

236
00:20:47,451 --> 00:20:53,914
That the earth belongs to Allah, and He will give power, to whomever He wishes.

237
00:20:55,646 --> 00:20:58,439
 In other words, this is not something that I can give you,

238
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:03,038
it is something in the hands of Allah, and it's not a matter of authority and power.

239
00:21:03,092 --> 00:21:04,303
This is not a power struggle,

240
00:21:04,343 --> 00:21:08,493
Rasool ﷺ is telling him, this is a matter of religion, the earth belongs to Allah.

241
00:21:09,330 --> 00:21:15,042
The man then responded and said, are we to present our throats to the Arabs in your defense.

242
00:21:15,304 --> 00:21:19,518
And then if God gave you victory, see power go elsewhere then to us.

243
00:21:20,073 --> 00:21:24,871
I mean, he understood that standing up with Muhammadﷺ is a risk

244
00:21:25,959 --> 00:21:28,121
and we're going to have to fight for it.

245
00:21:28,939 --> 00:21:30,860
He was telling Muhammadﷺ that

246
00:21:30,986 --> 00:21:36,044
we're not going to sacrifice our lives and then see the power being transferred to someone else.

247
00:21:36,351 --> 00:21:38,351
We won't have anything to do with you.

248
00:21:38,557 --> 00:21:42,430
And he turned down the offer of Muhammadﷺ and rejected the message.

249
00:21:43,459 --> 00:21:46,210
Bannu Aamir Bin Sa'saa(بنوعامر بن صعصعة), they went back to their homeland,

250
00:21:47,177 --> 00:21:51,584
and there was an old man, among them who was a wise elder of theirs.

251
00:21:51,624 --> 00:21:55,187
Because of his age, he wasn't able to attend the pilgrimage.

252
00:21:56,062 --> 00:22:00,166
But whenever they would come back, he would ask them about the events that happened.

253
00:22:00,571 --> 00:22:03,245
So, when they went back, they told him that

254
00:22:03,483 --> 00:22:08,141
we met a young man, the grandson of Abdul-Mutallib(عبدالمطلب) from Quraish(قُرَيْشْ),

255
00:22:08,380 --> 00:22:10,332
and he was claiming to be a prophet

256
00:22:10,863 --> 00:22:13,079
and he came to us and we rejected him.

257
00:22:14,671 --> 00:22:16,449
This old man said:

258
00:22:17,068 --> 00:22:22,433
After putting his hand over his forehead, Could your mistake be put right?

259
00:22:22,911 --> 00:22:25,322
Can its consequences be reversed?

260
00:22:25,620 --> 00:22:30,421
I swear no descendant of Ismail(اِسْماعِيْل) ever made such a claim falsely.

261
00:22:30,743 --> 00:22:31,908
It has to be true.

262
00:22:32,145 --> 00:22:33,913
Where did your good judgment go?

263
00:22:34,730 --> 00:22:37,773
This wise old man, told them

264
00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:44,476
that none of the descendants of Ismailعليه السّلام has ever claimed to be a prophet.

265
00:22:44,836 --> 00:22:46,654
This is not something common among the Arabs.

266
00:22:46,694 --> 00:22:49,846
The Arabs don't know the concept of Prophet hood to claim it.

267
00:22:50,726 --> 00:22:52,357
The Arabs were an illiterate nation.

268
00:22:52,708 --> 00:22:54,626
They didn't have a history of Prophet hood.

269
00:22:54,666 --> 00:23:00,877
The last prophet that they knew was, Ismailعليه السّلام which was more than 2000 years before that.

270
00:23:01,762 --> 00:23:05,608
So, for them to claim Prophet hood is something that never happened.

271
00:23:06,076 --> 00:23:08,485
So, this old man was saying it must be true.

272
00:23:08,697 --> 00:23:10,046
Where was your good judgment?

273
00:23:10,151 --> 00:23:11,088
And then he said;

274
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:15,169
Is this a mistake that can be rectified, is this something that we can fix?

275
00:23:17,611 --> 00:23:22,227
There's another narration by Abu Naeem(ابو نعيم) and Al-Haakim(الحاكم) and Al-Bayhaqi(ألبيهقي).

276
00:23:22,893 --> 00:23:25,217
I'm gonna have to read through this, It's quite long,

277
00:23:25,559 --> 00:23:29,465
but I find it a fascinating conversation,

278
00:23:29,537 --> 00:23:32,581
it shows the qualities of Abu Bakr As-Siddiqueرضي الله عنه.

279
00:23:32,672 --> 00:23:35,680
Ali(علي) is the one who's narrating this story.

280
00:23:36,483 --> 00:23:37,862
Ali Ibn Abi Talib(علي ابن ابي طالب), he says;

281
00:23:37,902 --> 00:23:41,894
When God ordered his messenger to present himself to the tribes of the Arabs,

282
00:23:42,213 --> 00:23:45,203
he left along with myself and Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) for Mina(مناء).

283
00:23:45,426 --> 00:23:48,488
Mina(مناء) is where the camps are set.

284
00:23:49,316 --> 00:23:53,811
Just like today in Hajj(حَجْ), that's where people spend the three days of Ayyam Tashreek(أيام تشريق).

285
00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:55,228
That's where the tents are.

286
00:23:56,235 --> 00:24:00,525
So, Rasool Allah ﷺ is visiting these different Arab tribes

287
00:24:00,587 --> 00:24:04,883
and Rasool Allah ﷺ used to always accompany Abu Bakr(ابو بكر) with him.

288
00:24:05,098 --> 00:24:08,637
Because Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) was an expert in genealogy

289
00:24:09,383 --> 00:24:17,349
Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) knew the history of the tribes, their names, their legends he knew a lot about them.

290
00:24:17,429 --> 00:24:20,807
 And this was an asset that Rasool Allah ﷺ was taking advantage of.

291
00:24:21,692 --> 00:24:28,441
Because Abu Bakr As-Siddique(ابوبكرالصديق) was a walking encyclopedia, when it came to the genealogy of the Arab tribes.

292
00:24:29,112 --> 00:24:33,829
So, Rasool Allah ﷺ used to always accompany Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) with him, plus Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) was a well known man.

293
00:24:34,231 --> 00:24:39,115
He has traveled widely, and he was known by the various Arab tribes.

294
00:24:39,655 --> 00:24:42,405
Anyway, Ali Ibn Abi Talib(علي ابن ابي طالب), he says;

295
00:24:42,863 --> 00:24:46,941
Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) god bless him, went forward and made his greetings.

296
00:24:47,222 --> 00:24:53,001
He was in the very vanguard of good and an expert in genealogy.

297
00:24:53,549 --> 00:24:58,801
So, he came to this Majlis(مجلس), to this meeting of this particular clan,

298
00:24:59,253 --> 00:25:02,237
Abu Bakr As-Siddiqueرضي الله عنه walked up to them.

299
00:25:02,650 --> 00:25:04,253
And when Ali Ibn Abi Talib(علي ابن ابي طالب) says;

300
00:25:04,321 --> 00:25:06,111
 وَكَانَ سَبَّاقً عَلى كُلِّ خَيْرْ

301
00:25:06,552 --> 00:25:08,965
He was at the vanguard of every good.

302
00:25:09,296 --> 00:25:11,621
Ali Ibn Abi Talib(علي ابن ابي طالب) was telling us that

303
00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:15,066
in everything good, you would find Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) ahead of everyone else

304
00:25:15,661 --> 00:25:17,160
Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) was first.

305
00:25:18,057 --> 00:25:21,779
You know the story when Umar Ibn Al-Khattab(عمر ابن الخطاب) said;

306
00:25:21,922 --> 00:25:24,679
Tonight, I'm going to do something that Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) didn't do.

307
00:25:25,319 --> 00:25:27,685
And he went to Rasool Allah ﷺ and gave him half of his money.

308
00:25:27,992 --> 00:25:30,950
And he said: O Rasool Allah, Did anybody else come to you?

309
00:25:31,217 --> 00:25:34,384
Rasool Allah ﷺ said: Yes, Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) came to me and he gave all of his money.

310
00:25:34,846 --> 00:25:37,528
Umar Ibn Al-Khattab(عمر ابن الخطاب) said, I'll never compete with him after this.

311
00:25:38,075 --> 00:25:42,273
So, Ali Ibn Abi Talib(علي ابن ابي طالب) is saying that Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) is ahead of every good.

312
00:25:42,908 --> 00:25:45,090
Everything good, you'll find Abu Bakr(ابوبكر), the first.

313
00:25:45,503 --> 00:25:47,662
He was the one who walked up to these men.

314
00:25:48,983 --> 00:25:54,193
He greeted them, and then he said: From whom do you people come?

315
00:25:55,364 --> 00:25:56,896
They said, We are from Rabiya(ربيعه),

316
00:25:57,015 --> 00:26:00,975
the tribe of Rabiya(ربيعه), which were in the north east part of Arabia,

317
00:26:01,276 --> 00:26:03,295
they might have been in the area of Iraq.

318
00:26:05,019 --> 00:26:07,224
Rabiya(ربيعه), is a large tribe.

319
00:26:07,771 --> 00:26:10,168
Abu Bakr(ابوبكر), now wants to narrow it down a little further.

320
00:26:10,208 --> 00:26:11,406
They said, we're from Rabiya(ربيعه).

321
00:26:11,446 --> 00:26:12,460
 Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) said;

322
00:26:12,625 --> 00:26:14,884
أمن هامها أم من لهازمها

323
00:26:15,081 --> 00:26:18,807
It is translated here as from its mainstream, or from its branch,

324
00:26:18,847 --> 00:26:22,614
actually a more accurate translation will be are you from the forehead?

325
00:26:22,654 --> 00:26:23,888
Hamaha(هَامَهَا) means the forehead.

326
00:26:24,158 --> 00:26:27,128
Are you from the forehead Or are you from the branches, the limbs,

327
00:26:27,168 --> 00:26:29,273
meaning you are from the lower parts of the tribe.

328
00:26:30,631 --> 00:26:35,414
They said, We are from the greatest mainstream of it, meaning we are the best.

329
00:26:36,239 --> 00:26:39,649
Abu Bakr As-Siddiqueرضي الله عنه want to verify that claim

330
00:26:40,791 --> 00:26:45,210
to realize whether they are the elites of their people, or they are from the layman.

331
00:26:45,648 --> 00:26:48,553
So, Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) started his conversation, he said,

332
00:26:49,145 --> 00:26:54,760
Is Auf(عوف) of you, of whom it said there is no Hurr(حر), no freeman in the Auf(عوف) valley

333
00:26:55,163 --> 00:26:58,317
unfortunately, it's too many mistakes in the translation,

334
00:26:58,357 --> 00:27:01,403
even though this is supposed to be a good translation of the book.

335
00:27:01,490 --> 00:27:07,774
But there's still mistakes in there, correct it, heat thing is freeman, it's not heat, it's freeman.

336
00:27:09,025 --> 00:27:12,842
Sometimes there are words in Arabic that are quite similar in meaning.

337
00:27:12,946 --> 00:27:16,798
So, the translator might make a mistake in Qasra'a(قَصْرَه) or Fat'ha(فَتْهَا)

338
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,996
For example, in this word of heat

339
00:27:19,316 --> 00:27:22,388
heat is Harr(حَرْ), and free is Hurr(حُرْ).

340
00:27:23,086 --> 00:27:24,319
So, you just have a difference of a Dumma(ذَمَّهْ).

341
00:27:24,380 --> 00:27:28,856
 So, the translator thought that it is heat, but it is actually Hur(حُرْ).

342
00:27:30,638 --> 00:27:34,296
Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) is saying is Auf(عوف) of you?

343
00:27:35,296 --> 00:27:40,909
Of whom, it was said there is no free man in Auf(عوف)'s Valley.

344
00:27:41,658 --> 00:27:46,226
This man, Auf(عوف) was from the tribe of Rabiya(ربيعه).

345
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:52,403
And he was such a strong man that everyone in the valley was so submissive to him.

346
00:27:52,721 --> 00:27:55,522
They ended up saying that there's no one free in his Valley.

347
00:27:58,442 --> 00:28:01,354
And by the way, in the culture of pre Islamic Arabia,

348
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,911
strength and power and sometimes even violence is viewed with respect.

349
00:28:07,930 --> 00:28:10,820
This is one of the things that Islam came to change.

350
00:28:11,177 --> 00:28:12,884
That oppression is not good.

351
00:28:14,729 --> 00:28:16,735
So, Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) said: Is Auf(عوف) of you,

352
00:28:17,124 --> 00:28:19,560
of whom it was said there is no free man in Auf(عوف)'s Valley.?

353
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:20,418
They said: No.

354
00:28:21,329 --> 00:28:25,808
Does Bastaam Bin Qais Abu Luwaa(بسطام بن قيس صاحب اللواء) and Muntaha Al-Ahya(منتهى الأحياء) belong to you?

355
00:28:26,492 --> 00:28:27,312
They said: No.

356
00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:33,731
Is Al-Haofazan Bin Shuraik(الحوفزان بن شريق), the killer of kings and the robber of their souls, a kinsmen of yours?

357
00:28:33,913 --> 00:28:34,616
No.

358
00:28:35,017 --> 00:28:40,045
Is the Jassas Bin Murra(جساس بن مرة), the protector of honor and the defender of the neighbor from you?

359
00:28:40,540 --> 00:28:41,451
They said: No.

360
00:28:41,866 --> 00:28:45,610
Is Az-Muzdalaf(مزدلف), he of the unique turban from you?

361
00:28:46,031 --> 00:28:46,806
They said: No.

362
00:28:47,237 --> 00:28:49,209
Are you related to the kings of Kindaa(كندا)?

363
00:28:49,451 --> 00:28:50,110
No.

364
00:28:50,222 --> 00:28:52,123
Are you related to the kings of Laham(لخم)?

365
00:28:52,333 --> 00:28:53,069
No.

366
00:28:53,246 --> 00:28:57,246
Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) said: So you're not from the mainstream, but you are from the Branch.

367
00:28:58,649 --> 00:29:03,729
You can see the detailed information that Abu Bakr As-Siddiqueرضي الله عنه had about these people.

368
00:29:05,012 --> 00:29:09,340
Now, a young man from Rabiya(ربيعه), stood up, his name is Daghfal(دغفل),

369
00:29:09,444 --> 00:29:12,340
his beard just beginning to sprout, meaning he was young in age,

370
00:29:12,485 --> 00:29:16,094
he jumped up and he grabbed the Bridle of Abu Bakr(ابوبكر)'s camel,

371
00:29:16,372 --> 00:29:21,839
 reciting those who asked of us will be asked of as for the burden of proof,

372
00:29:21,910 --> 00:29:24,861
 we neither know it, nor bare it as responsibility.

373
00:29:24,966 --> 00:29:30,342
He then said; Hey you you ask, and we replied, hiding nothing from you.

374
00:29:30,604 --> 00:29:33,197
We want to ask you something. Who are you.?

375
00:29:33,301 --> 00:29:36,127
Now it's our turn, you ask us questions, we answered.

376
00:29:37,094 --> 00:29:38,494
Give us a chance to ask you.

377
00:29:39,736 --> 00:29:40,860
So, who are you?

378
00:29:41,257 --> 00:29:43,726
He said, I'm a man from Quraish (قُرَيْشْ).

379
00:29:44,466 --> 00:29:49,086
The youth commented well said, you are a people of leadership and nobility,

380
00:29:49,346 --> 00:29:51,676
the vanguard and guide of the Arabs

381
00:29:52,534 --> 00:29:56,785
there's nothing to complain about, you're from Quraish(قُرَيْشْ), you from the nobility.

382
00:29:57,109 --> 00:29:58,568
Now let me narrate down.

383
00:29:58,749 --> 00:30:00,993
What part of Quraish(قُرَيْشْ) are you from?

384
00:30:01,956 --> 00:30:05,175
Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) said: I am from Bannu Taim Bin Murra(بنو تيم بن مره).

385
00:30:05,820 --> 00:30:11,772
Bannu Taim Bin Murra(بنو تيم بن مره) are small clan in Quraish(قُرَيْشْ),

386
00:30:12,544 --> 00:30:17,977
wasn't famous, they weren't known for any special strength or uniqueness.

387
00:30:18,367 --> 00:30:19,918
So, the young man said;

388
00:30:20,619 --> 00:30:24,935
You have shown the target shooter where the bull's eye is.

389
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:31,548
He said: Is Qusa'e Bin Kalaab(قصئي بن كلاب), he, who killed at Makkah, those trying to conquer it.

390
00:30:31,794 --> 00:30:33,027
A kinsmen of yours?

391
00:30:33,526 --> 00:30:36,698
That man Qusae(قصئي) who drove the rest of them away

392
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,767
and brought his own people from all over and settle them in Makkah,

393
00:30:41,021 --> 00:30:43,705
took over the temple and set Quraish(قُرَيْشْ) in the dwellings,

394
00:30:44,433 --> 00:30:47,051
the man who was therefore known as the unifier,

395
00:30:47,369 --> 00:30:50,247
and about whom a poet spoke the verse,

396
00:30:50,478 --> 00:30:56,023
was it not your father who was called the unifier, by whom God brought together the tribes of Fihr(فهر)..

397
00:30:56,339 --> 00:30:57,430
 Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) said: No.

398
00:30:57,864 --> 00:31:01,922
Were not Abd Manaf(عبد المناف) the ultimate giver of advice

399
00:31:02,114 --> 00:31:05,203
and Abu Ghadarif(أبو الغدارف), the great leader of your stock.?

400
00:31:05,387 --> 00:31:06,532
Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) said: No.

401
00:31:06,911 --> 00:31:09,084
And Amr Bin Abd Manaf(عمرو بن عبد مناف), Hashim(هاشم),

402
00:31:09,423 --> 00:31:11,369
who prepared bread and meat to the dish.

403
00:31:11,449 --> 00:31:13,051
You remember when we talked about Hashim(هاشم).

404
00:31:13,251 --> 00:31:15,793
So, he's now famous as being the one, who started a Sareed(سريد),

405
00:31:16,684 --> 00:31:21,057
who prepared bread and meat into the dish, As-Sareed(ثريد) for his people and all of Makkah,

406
00:31:21,427 --> 00:31:22,984
was he not of you?

407
00:31:23,313 --> 00:31:25,514
the one of whom the poet said;

408
00:31:25,957 --> 00:31:29,146
Amr Al-Ulaa(عمرو العلى) prepared the Sareed(ثريد) for his people

409
00:31:29,584 --> 00:31:32,410
while the men of Makkah were destitute and under famine.

410
00:31:32,753 --> 00:31:37,051
To him, they attribute both the journeys that of the winter and that of the summer,

411
00:31:37,543 --> 00:31:38,900
Quraish(قُرَيْشْ) were as an egg,

412
00:31:39,167 --> 00:31:44,252
which when split open, came to have its best part, it's yolk as, Ya Abd Manaf(يا عبد مناف),

413
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:47,506
they are the wealthy, as is no other known.

414
00:31:47,708 --> 00:31:51,527
And they are those who say, Come on in to the guests,

415
00:31:51,883 --> 00:31:54,424
They are those who strike down pure white sheep,

416
00:31:54,730 --> 00:31:57,364
those who protect the innocent with their swords,

417
00:31:57,576 --> 00:32:02,005
how fine for you, if you stay at their abode, they will protect you,

418
00:32:02,230 --> 00:32:04,311
from all ills and accusations.

419
00:32:04,606 --> 00:32:05,876
So, is he of you?

420
00:32:06,165 --> 00:32:07,247
Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) said: No.

421
00:32:08,150 --> 00:32:11,729
Then the youth continued, you must be related to Abd Al-Muttalib(عبدالمطلب)

422
00:32:12,090 --> 00:32:14,370
that venerable man of much praise,

423
00:32:14,565 --> 00:32:16,444
controller of the Makkah caravan

424
00:32:16,780 --> 00:32:21,988
and the feeder of the birds of the skies and the wild beasts of the lions in the desert,

425
00:32:22,573 --> 00:32:26,233
he, whose face shines forth like a moon on a dark night.

426
00:32:26,925 --> 00:32:27,987
No, said, Abu Bakr(ابوبكر).

427
00:32:28,225 --> 00:32:33,764
Now remember Abdul Muttalib(عبدالمطلب) they called him the feeder of the lions and the beast and the birds,

428
00:32:34,017 --> 00:32:37,311
because of the hundred camels that he slaughtered and refused to take anything of it.

429
00:32:38,285 --> 00:32:41,691
Then you must be of those who have the privilege of Ifadha(افادة).

430
00:32:41,994 --> 00:32:42,574
No.

431
00:32:42,829 --> 00:32:46,027
perhaps of those who have the privilege of Hijabah(حجابة).

432
00:32:46,085 --> 00:32:46,670
No,

433
00:32:47,052 --> 00:32:49,029
then those with the privilege of An-Nadwa(الندوة).

434
00:32:49,108 --> 00:32:49,652
No.

435
00:32:50,297 --> 00:32:52,791
then you must be of those who have the privilege of Sikaya(سقايه).

436
00:32:52,849 --> 00:32:53,333
No,

437
00:32:53,613 --> 00:32:56,397
are you then have those with the privilege of providing Rifadha(الرفادة).

438
00:32:56,579 --> 00:32:57,081
No.

439
00:32:58,191 --> 00:32:59,954
and he's answering no to all of these questions.

440
00:32:59,994 --> 00:33:01,975
Now this was becoming too much for Abu Bakr(ابوبكر).

441
00:33:02,798 --> 00:33:04,522
So, Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) just turned around

442
00:33:05,364 --> 00:33:10,598
and tried to leave and he pulled the bridle out of the youth's hand.

443
00:33:11,006 --> 00:33:13,563
The young man responded by saying,

444
00:33:14,078 --> 00:33:17,187
he recited a line of poetry, he said,

445
00:33:17,483 --> 00:33:23,518
صَادَفَ دَرْءُ السَّيْلِ دَرْءًا يدفعه فتارة يصدعه و تارة يهضبه

446
00:33:23,967 --> 00:33:28,295
Your flood has met a greater flood that is coming from me.

447
00:33:28,660 --> 00:33:31,733
Once it will crack it and another time, it will go over it.

448
00:33:32,570 --> 00:33:34,850
So, you thought that you are flooded me?

449
00:33:35,110 --> 00:33:38,931
I've shown you that I could send over you a greater flood.

450
00:33:39,694 --> 00:33:45,218
And then he commented, well, I swear a brother of Quraish(قُرَيْشْ), if you had continued to hold out,

451
00:33:45,477 --> 00:33:50,346
I would have proven to you that you belong to the lowest class of Quraish(قُرَيْشْ) not to its elite.

452
00:33:51,632 --> 00:33:56,766
Rasool Allah ﷺ came over smiling, after this interesting conversation,

453
00:33:57,112 --> 00:34:02,831
 and Ali(علي) told Abu Bakr(ابوبكر); well this Bedouin has turned out to be a disaster for you.

454
00:34:03,399 --> 00:34:05,816
Abu Bakr As-Siddiqueرضي الله عنه, said: Yes.

455
00:34:06,356 --> 00:34:13,208
And there is never a catastrophe without another that follows and calamity is compounded by words.

456
00:34:15,170 --> 00:34:22,309
Ali(علي) then continued and said we went to a meeting that, we can see common dignity in the people,

457
00:34:22,782 --> 00:34:25,410
and Abu Bakr(ابوبكر), he went to them and greeted them.

458
00:34:25,704 --> 00:34:27,076
And he asked them where are you from?

459
00:34:27,116 --> 00:34:28,685
They said we are from Bannu Shaibaan(بنو شيبان).

460
00:34:28,993 --> 00:34:35,166
So, Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) came to report to Rasool Allah ﷺ and said these are people who have experience and power.

461
00:34:37,153 --> 00:34:41,689
So, Abu Bakrرضي الله عنه he went to the group leaders

462
00:34:41,729 --> 00:34:44,953
which were Mafrooq Bin Amr(مفروق بن عمرو) and Haani Bin Kubaisah(هاني بن قبيسه),

463
00:34:45,254 --> 00:34:49,284
and Al-Muthanna Bin Harris(مثنى بن حارث), and An-Noman Bin Shuraik(نعمان بن شريق)

464
00:34:49,676 --> 00:34:54,109
and the person who was closest to Abu Bakr As-Siddique(ابو بكر الصديق) was Mafrooq Bin Amr(مفروق بن عمرو),

465
00:34:54,946 --> 00:34:59,873
and he was described as having two braids that came down to his chest.

466
00:35:00,566 --> 00:35:03,743
So Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) asked him, How many are you in number?

467
00:35:04,196 --> 00:35:07,461
Al-Mafrooq(المفروق) replied, We are more than 1000 strong.

468
00:35:07,677 --> 00:35:10,654
And a few men can't beat 1000 as they say.

469
00:35:11,123 --> 00:35:14,628
And then he said, and how would protection be with you?

470
00:35:14,938 --> 00:35:18,437
He said, we go to the limit, and every people have their limit.

471
00:35:19,402 --> 00:35:23,725
Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) then asked, and how is it when you make war with your enemies.

472
00:35:23,853 --> 00:35:25,750
Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) is trying to assess their strength.

473
00:35:26,220 --> 00:35:29,754
They said: When we meet in battle, we are the angriest of men,

474
00:35:30,130 --> 00:35:33,850
we take great pride in our steeds than our sons,

475
00:35:34,076 --> 00:35:36,954
care more for our swords than our camels.

476
00:35:37,365 --> 00:35:39,613
Victory rests with Allah.

477
00:35:39,755 --> 00:35:44,524
Sometimes He grants us victory, sometimes others victory over us.

478
00:35:44,922 --> 00:35:46,908
You seems to be a member of Quraish(قُرَيْشْ).

479
00:35:47,353 --> 00:35:49,128
So, Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) replied: Yes.

480
00:35:49,749 --> 00:35:52,117
And then he said, have you heard of the Messenger of Allah?

481
00:35:52,682 --> 00:35:58,147
So, Mafrooq(مفروق) said: We have heard that he says, he is, the Messenger of Allah.

482
00:35:58,735 --> 00:36:01,241
Meaning we don't yet know but we've heard that rumor.

483
00:36:02,077 --> 00:36:05,389
So, then Mafrooq(مفروق) wanted to hear from Muhammadﷺ,

484
00:36:05,676 --> 00:36:08,925
after Abu Bakr(ابوبكر) has paved the way and open the conversation.

485
00:36:09,178 --> 00:36:11,984
Now Rasool Allah ﷺ came in and he started speaking

486
00:36:12,143 --> 00:36:18,121
and he spoke after Mafrooq(مفروق) asked him to, he said: What do you propound O brother of Quraish(قُرَيْشْ)?

487
00:36:18,592 --> 00:36:24,899
He said, I call upon you to bear witness that there is no God but Allah alone, who has no associates

488
00:36:25,284 --> 00:36:26,950
and that I'm the Messenger of Allah,

489
00:36:27,150 --> 00:36:30,368
I asked you to shelter and protect me, until I can carry out,

490
00:36:30,775 --> 00:36:32,730
what Allah has ordered me to do.

491
00:36:33,755 --> 00:36:38,697
Quraish(قُرَيْشْ) came out against Allah's commands and have denied his messenger

492
00:36:39,037 --> 00:36:44,028
they have sided with wrong against right, but Allah is All Powerful, All Praised.

493
00:36:44,913 --> 00:36:49,413
So, Mafrooq(مفروق), he did like the words of Rasool Allah ﷺ, he asked him for some more.

494
00:36:49,471 --> 00:36:52,764
 Rasool Allah ﷺ recited him some is from Surat Al-An'aam(سورة الانعام).

495
00:36:53,244 --> 00:36:56,806
Mafrooq(مفروق) said: And what else do you propound, O brother of Quraish(قُرَيْشْ),

496
00:36:56,951 --> 00:37:00,523
I swear these are not words of any earthly mortal,

497
00:37:00,818 --> 00:37:03,096
if they were we would know them to be.

498
00:37:03,348 --> 00:37:06,523
So, Rasool Allah ﷺ recited Ayaat(آيات) from Surat An-Nahal(سورة النحل).

499
00:37:07,402 --> 00:37:11,772
Anyway, after Rasool Allah ﷺ has explained the message of Islam,

500
00:37:12,039 --> 00:37:15,437
Mafrooq(مفروق), liked what he heard, but then he said that

501
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,137
we have people behind us and we cannot speak for them.

502
00:37:18,438 --> 00:37:20,797
I mean, we were just a delegation from our people.

503
00:37:21,169 --> 00:37:25,571
And he said that we cannot give a commitment now we have to go back and consult our people.

504
00:37:26,064 --> 00:37:27,701
And he said words, he said;

505
00:37:27,889 --> 00:37:30,329
I consider that abandoning our religion,

506
00:37:30,369 --> 00:37:35,143
and following you in yours, because of one meeting we were having with you,

507
00:37:35,186 --> 00:37:37,699
which had neither introduction nor follow up

508
00:37:38,142 --> 00:37:41,123
and without our giving it full consideration,

509
00:37:41,389 --> 00:37:44,795
 nor examining what the consequences would be of what you suggest,

510
00:37:45,144 --> 00:37:52,082
that would be a lapse in judgment, rashness, and inadequate consideration of consequences.

511
00:37:53,058 --> 00:37:57,632
So, Mafrooq(مفروق), these people were very calm, they didn't want to rush into judgment.

512
00:37:57,871 --> 00:37:59,451
They said, We have to think it over.

513
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,964
We can just leave our religion after one meeting with you.

514
00:38:03,325 --> 00:38:06,947
So, you can see that there's a difference between these different tribes.

515
00:38:07,018 --> 00:38:11,471
With Al-Ansaar(ألأنصار), they immediately accepted, because the grounds were prepared for them.

516
00:38:11,797 --> 00:38:13,340
But with Bannu Shaibaa(بنو شيبه), they said;

517
00:38:13,535 --> 00:38:17,737
I mean, there's there was no introduction to this, and there's no follow up, we can just convert right now.

518
00:38:18,335 --> 00:38:20,678
So, let's go back to our people and consult them.

519
00:38:20,722 --> 00:38:25,760
 But I want you to also hear the opinion of Haani Bin Qubaisa(هاني بن قبيسه),

520
00:38:25,998 --> 00:38:32,499
there were three leaders, one was religious one was political, and the other one was Tribal Affairs.

521
00:38:32,830 --> 00:38:38,904
So, Mafrooq(مفروق) he spoke his opinion and now he wants to let Haani(هاني) speak.

522
00:38:39,524 --> 00:38:42,125
So, Haani(هاني) said:

523
00:38:42,551 --> 00:38:48,554
Actually, the words that I just read to you were the words of Haani(هاني).

524
00:38:48,677 --> 00:38:52,565
And now they wanted to get the opinion of Harissa(حارثه),

525
00:38:52,853 --> 00:38:56,006
so Al-Harissa(الحارثه) said: I heard and I liked what you said.

526
00:38:56,046 --> 00:38:57,407
So, they were all impressed.

527
00:38:58,075 --> 00:39:03,392
I was impressed by your words, but our answers should be that of Haani Bin Qubaisa(هاني بن قبيسه)

528
00:39:03,794 --> 00:39:08,125
for us to leave our religion and follow you, after one sitting with us,

529
00:39:08,457 --> 00:39:12,426
would be like us, taking residents between two pools of stagnant water

530
00:39:12,743 --> 00:39:16,076
one Al-Yamama(يمامه) and other As-samawa(ألسماوة).

531
00:39:16,458 --> 00:39:17,959
Rasool Ullah did not understand that.

532
00:39:18,539 --> 00:39:23,426
He said, and what might those pools of stagnant water be?

533
00:39:24,416 --> 00:39:29,445
Al-Muthanna(ألمثنى) replied, one of these is where the land extends to the Arab world

534
00:39:29,819 --> 00:39:34,423
and the other is that of Persia and the rivers of Khusro(خسرو), Kisra(كسرى).

535
00:39:35,271 --> 00:39:41,949
We will be reneging on a pact that Khusro(خسرو) has placed upon us,

536
00:39:42,136 --> 00:39:47,194
to the effect that we would not cause an incident and not give sanctuary to a troublemaker.

537
00:39:47,748 --> 00:39:53,784
This policy you suggest for us, is such a one thing that kings dislike.

538
00:39:54,444 --> 00:39:59,970
As for those areas, bordering Arab lands, the blame of those so acting would be forgiven

539
00:40:00,179 --> 00:40:02,243
and excuses for them, be accepted.

540
00:40:03,495 --> 00:40:07,961
But for those areas next to Persia, those so acting would not be forgiven,

541
00:40:08,228 --> 00:40:10,623
and no such excuses would be accepted.

542
00:40:11,150 --> 00:40:15,476
If you want us to help you and protect you from whatever relates to Arab territories alone.

543
00:40:15,794 --> 00:40:16,635
We would do so.

544
00:40:17,245 --> 00:40:21,671
In case you didn't understand what Muthanna(مثنى) is referring to here.

545
00:40:22,402 --> 00:40:25,952
The land of Bannu Shaibah(بنو شيبه) was bordering the Persian Empire.

546
00:40:26,659 --> 00:40:33,722
So, their military leader who knows the contracts between them and the Persian Empire, Al-Muthanna(ألمثنى), he said,

547
00:40:35,214 --> 00:40:38,582
we have an agreement between us and the Persians

548
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:41,937
that we will never give sanctuary to a troublemaker.

549
00:40:43,096 --> 00:40:46,267
And this religion of yours is something that kings do not like.

550
00:40:46,426 --> 00:40:52,337
So, look at the wisdom that he realized from his meeting with Rasool Allah ﷺ

551
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,117
that this is something that kings will not really like.

552
00:40:56,150 --> 00:41:02,276
Because kings want to have authority in their hands to abuse others

553
00:41:02,316 --> 00:41:04,527
and this is a religion that is to free people.

554
00:41:06,122 --> 00:41:07,060
He said;

555
00:41:08,543 --> 00:41:13,709
We cannot offer you protection from the Persian side but we can offer you protection from the Arab side.

556
00:41:14,812 --> 00:41:19,004
So, the land that is bordering the Arabs, we will promise you that we will protect you from them,

557
00:41:19,385 --> 00:41:23,066
but the area that is bordering Persia we cannot promise you anything,

558
00:41:23,180 --> 00:41:26,699
we cannot stand in front of the Persian Empire, it's too much for us.

559
00:41:28,614 --> 00:41:30,968
Rasool Allah ﷺ responded by saying;

560
00:41:31,746 --> 00:41:38,064
Your reply is in no way bad for you have spoken eloquently and truthfully

561
00:41:38,183 --> 00:41:39,154
you've been honest.

562
00:41:39,580 --> 00:41:47,657
But God's religion can only be engaged in, by those who encompass it, from all sides.

563
00:41:48,448 --> 00:41:51,227
Rasool Allah ﷺ did not want to have half a deal,

564
00:41:51,622 --> 00:41:54,270
did not want to have a compromised deal,

565
00:41:54,573 --> 00:41:58,121
Rasool Allah ﷺ wanted to have complete protection.

566
00:41:58,653 --> 00:42:03,543
Rasool Allah ﷺ said: The religion of Allah needs to be surrounded from every direction.

567
00:42:03,778 --> 00:42:07,297
I want an absolute commitment to protect me,

568
00:42:07,543 --> 00:42:10,429
you can say that I'm going to protect you from one side but not from the other.

569
00:42:11,588 --> 00:42:16,858
What we can learn from this is that, in our negotiations and in our deals,

570
00:42:17,127 --> 00:42:21,934
we need to keep in mind that the religion of Allah, needs to be held in high esteem.

571
00:42:22,942 --> 00:42:25,358
And we should not bargain and negotiate in it.

572
00:42:25,799 --> 00:42:28,091
And we should not compromise its terms.

573
00:42:28,866 --> 00:42:35,358
And if the agreement does not fulfill the Islamic terms, we don't have to involve in it.

574
00:42:35,445 --> 00:42:43,152
Rasool Allah ﷺ felt no need, in joining an agreement even though he knew his situation in Makkah.

575
00:42:43,255 --> 00:42:47,267
 He knew how difficult it was and he knew how badly he needs to leave.

576
00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:54,770
Nevertheless, he did not want to enter into an agreement that was half hearted, halfway through.

577
00:42:57,165 --> 00:42:59,916
And this is where you put your trust in Allahسبحانه وتعالى.

578
00:42:59,956 --> 00:43:03,386
Rasool Allah ﷺ, left it up to Allahعَزّوجَلّ

579
00:43:03,426 --> 00:43:10,527
and refused to accept that particular agreement from the people of Bannu Shaibah(بنو شيبه).

580
00:43:12,729 --> 00:43:18,043
Ibn Is'haq(ابن اسحاق) , he goes on with the story of Al-Ansaar(ألأنصار).

581
00:43:18,877 --> 00:43:20,321
Now who are Al-Ansaar(ألأنصار)?

582
00:43:20,872 --> 00:43:25,829
Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج) when they became Muslim were called Al-Ansaar(ألأنصار).

583
00:43:26,289 --> 00:43:28,291
Which means, the protectors.

584
00:43:29,396 --> 00:43:34,505
Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج) were the two Arab tribes that were living in Madina

585
00:43:35,386 --> 00:43:42,214
and they are descendants of the branch of Kahtaan(قحطان)

586
00:43:42,651 --> 00:43:45,316
see the Arabs divided into Adnan(عدنان) and Kahtaan(قحطان).

587
00:43:45,792 --> 00:43:48,737
Kahtaan(قحطان) are the Arabs of Yemen

588
00:43:49,033 --> 00:43:53,377
and Adnan(عدنان) are the descendants of Ismailعليه السّلام.

589
00:43:54,326 --> 00:43:56,637
So, Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج) were from Kahtaan(قحطان)

590
00:43:57,398 --> 00:43:59,385
They were neighboring three Jewish tribes,

591
00:43:59,451 --> 00:44:00,261
Bannu Quraidha(بنو قريضه),

592
00:44:00,340 --> 00:44:01,156
Bannu Qainuqah(بنو قينقاع)

593
00:44:01,196 --> 00:44:02,475
and Bannu Nadhir(بنو نضير).

594
00:44:03,604 --> 00:44:12,365
Al-Madina was unique in that, it offered a protection from three sides.

595
00:44:13,122 --> 00:44:16,218
There were two rocky tracks on the east and west,

596
00:44:16,583 --> 00:44:20,104
which are inaccessible for armies to cross

597
00:44:20,461 --> 00:44:25,150
and then there were the trees, the farms of Madina towards the south.

598
00:44:25,593 --> 00:44:29,772
So, the only direction where an army can attack Madina is from the north,

599
00:44:30,161 --> 00:44:34,706
so it has this natural protection from three sides.

600
00:44:36,829 --> 00:44:44,394
Rasool Allah ﷺ visited the camp of Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج), in Hajj(حَجْ)

601
00:44:44,529 --> 00:44:47,220
 actually, at the time he visited Al-Khazraj(الخزرج).

602
00:44:48,329 --> 00:44:53,601
Rasool Allah ﷺ when he came in, he asked them, who are you?

603
00:44:54,061 --> 00:44:56,410
 They said: We are from Al-Khazraj(الخزرج).

604
00:44:57,006 --> 00:44:59,977
Rasool Allah ﷺ said: Are you the allies of the Jews?

605
00:45:00,176 --> 00:45:01,237
They said: Yes.

606
00:45:01,509 --> 00:45:04,676
Rasool Allah ﷺ said: Can I speak to you?

607
00:45:05,345 --> 00:45:06,247
They agreed.

608
00:45:06,461 --> 00:45:11,531
So, they sat down and Rasool Allah ﷺ invited them to Islam.

609
00:45:12,325 --> 00:45:13,555
Subhaan Allah(سُبْحَان الله),

610
00:45:13,956 --> 00:45:16,932
they were very eager to hear what Rasool Allah ﷺ said.

611
00:45:17,298 --> 00:45:22,044
And they immediately accepted, and they told Rasool Allahﷺ;

612
00:45:22,774 --> 00:45:30,827
We have left our own people, for they have such discord and dissension between them, not found in any other.

613
00:45:31,128 --> 00:45:36,867
Perhaps God may unite them through you, we will go forth among them and invite them to you,

614
00:45:37,048 --> 00:45:39,605
presenting to them this religion we have accepted from you.

615
00:45:39,938 --> 00:45:44,936
If God should unite them around you, then no one will be dearer to us, then you.

616
00:45:46,536 --> 00:45:54,131
This immediate acceptance of Islam, by the small group of Al-Khazraj(الخزرج), the number was six.

617
00:45:56,007 --> 00:45:57,917
How come it happened that way?

618
00:45:58,821 --> 00:46:04,206
How come Ansaar(أنصار) were not resistant to the message of Islam, like the other Arab tribes?

619
00:46:04,730 --> 00:46:06,253
There are few reasons.

620
00:46:07,452 --> 00:46:08,401
Number one,

621
00:46:09,738 --> 00:46:16,943
the people of Madina were in a constant warfare among themselves.

622
00:46:17,653 --> 00:46:23,401
Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج) were fighting an age old war between themselves,

623
00:46:23,544 --> 00:46:27,791
 imagine two tribes living in the same city, and they are fighting with each other,

624
00:46:29,518 --> 00:46:31,581
so they were earning for peace.

625
00:46:32,530 --> 00:46:37,260
And when these men of Al-Khazraj(الخزرج) heard the message of Rasool Allah ﷺ, they said;

626
00:46:37,300 --> 00:46:40,822
Maybe Allah will unite us through you, we really need peace,

627
00:46:40,917 --> 00:46:43,632
we've been at each other's throats for so long.

628
00:46:44,472 --> 00:46:45,460
That's one reason.

629
00:46:45,975 --> 00:46:47,094
Second reason,

630
00:46:48,150 --> 00:46:54,039
The Aos(أوس) and Khazraj(خزرج) had a natural, monotheism was appealing to them,

631
00:46:54,596 --> 00:46:57,014
because they were neighbors of the Jews.

632
00:46:57,387 --> 00:47:02,426
And the Arabs used to see the religion of the Jews being superior to theirs.

633
00:47:03,106 --> 00:47:04,002
Why is that?

634
00:47:05,351 --> 00:47:06,764
The Jews were learned.

635
00:47:07,153 --> 00:47:08,423
They had scripture,

636
00:47:09,050 --> 00:47:10,549
they had teachings,

637
00:47:10,891 --> 00:47:11,971
they had knowledge,

638
00:47:12,384 --> 00:47:17,146
while the religion of the Arabs was merely myths, and idols

639
00:47:17,503 --> 00:47:20,678
and killing of their daughters.

640
00:47:21,206 --> 00:47:27,499
So, if it wasn't for the Jewish prejudice and arrogance, towards the Arabs,

641
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,642
 most likely Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج) would have been Jewish.

642
00:47:31,459 --> 00:47:33,226
But the reason why they didn't convert,

643
00:47:33,467 --> 00:47:38,375
is because the Jews used to always treat them as if they are a lower class

644
00:47:38,454 --> 00:47:41,661
and as if the Jewish religion is only suitable for the elites.

645
00:47:42,455 --> 00:47:45,146
And sometimes there will be conflicts between the Arabs and the Jews.

646
00:47:45,234 --> 00:47:50,588
So, the Jews would say, that this is a time of a prophet that will appear

647
00:47:50,834 --> 00:47:53,535
and when he comes out, we will follow him,

648
00:47:53,694 --> 00:47:56,607
and we will kill you, like the people of Aad(عاد) were killed.

649
00:47:56,746 --> 00:48:01,676
So, number three, the Arabs also knew that this is a time of a prophet.

650
00:48:02,495 --> 00:48:05,668
So, the Arabs of Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج) were prepared for this message.

651
00:48:05,763 --> 00:48:07,628
Allahسبحانه وتعالى has prepared them.

652
00:48:08,646 --> 00:48:11,957
They knew about the monotheistic religion of the Jews,

653
00:48:12,582 --> 00:48:15,561
and they knew the value of to Tauheed(توحيد), the oneness of Allah,

654
00:48:16,054 --> 00:48:21,010
they knew that the Prophet is coming, and they needed peace.

655
00:48:21,430 --> 00:48:22,843
And number four,

656
00:48:23,579 --> 00:48:27,037
a few years before the Hijrah(هجرة) of Rasool Allah ﷺ,

657
00:48:27,395 --> 00:48:31,395
a battle called Buaath(بعاث) occurred between Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج)

658
00:48:31,678 --> 00:48:40,309
this was such a violent war, it ended up killing most of the current leadership of both tribes.

659
00:48:41,062 --> 00:48:46,960
So, imagine having two clans with the majority of their leaders, their seniors killed.

660
00:48:47,425 --> 00:48:50,036
So, now you have a people that are looking for leadership,

661
00:48:50,444 --> 00:48:53,622
they do not have an established structure of leadership among them.

662
00:48:54,013 --> 00:48:57,576
So, when they heard the message of Rasool Allah ﷺ,

663
00:48:57,632 --> 00:49:00,569
they were looking forward to have him, lead them.

664
00:49:01,653 --> 00:49:05,258
So, all of these were elements when combined together,

665
00:49:05,472 --> 00:49:09,376
it made Madina a very fertile ground for the spread of Islam.

666
00:49:10,459 --> 00:49:16,777
And some of these things were mentioned, for example, there's a statement by Ayesha رضي الله عنها,

667
00:49:16,963 --> 00:49:25,277
she said that the war of Buaath(بعاث) was preparation by Allahسبحانه وتعالى for the migration of Rasool Allah ﷺ

668
00:49:25,619 --> 00:49:26,269
 and she says:

669
00:49:26,309 --> 00:49:27,405
قُتِلَتْ ثَرَوَاتُهُمْ

670
00:49:27,587 --> 00:49:28,659
Their leaders were killed.

671
00:49:28,896 --> 00:49:33,539
Because remember, we said that the people who tend to me the most resistant to the truth, are who.?

672
00:49:34,086 --> 00:49:35,340
The leaders of a society.

673
00:49:36,104 --> 00:49:39,924
now Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج) do not have that hurdle in front of them.

674
00:49:40,115 --> 00:49:43,123
The leaders were killed in the Battle of Buaath(بعاث)

675
00:49:43,713 --> 00:49:45,921
And Ibn Is'haqq(اِبْنِ اِسْحَاقْ), he says,

676
00:49:47,287 --> 00:49:52,348
One way, which God facilitated their acceptance of Islam

677
00:49:52,388 --> 00:49:55,853
was that the Jews were there, with them in their country,

678
00:49:56,161 --> 00:49:58,820
these were followers of the Scripture and men of knowledge,

679
00:49:59,074 --> 00:50:03,072
though they themselves were polytheists and idol worshippers,

680
00:50:03,415 --> 00:50:06,652
they had previously attacked these Jews in their territories.

681
00:50:06,906 --> 00:50:09,073
And whenever a dispute had arisen

682
00:50:09,327 --> 00:50:13,363
the latter had told them a prophet will now be sent, his day is coming

683
00:50:13,609 --> 00:50:19,419
we will follow him and give you the same fate as that of the peoples of Aad(عاد) and Iram(إرم).

684
00:50:20,553 --> 00:50:21,213
So, Subhaan Allah(سُبْحَان الله)

685
00:50:21,253 --> 00:50:27,070
you can see how Allah was preparing Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج) for this great responsibility.

686
00:50:27,713 --> 00:50:28,653
Now,

687
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,776
وَعَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ

688
00:50:30,816 --> 00:50:33,800
You might dislike something but in it, is a lot of good for you.

689
00:50:34,547 --> 00:50:39,367
This war that happened between Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج) and killed many of them,

690
00:50:39,981 --> 00:50:43,843
even though it caused a lot of bloodshed and harm to them.

691
00:50:44,201 --> 00:50:47,708
It was one of the reasons that brought them closer to Islam.

692
00:50:49,398 --> 00:50:52,962
Anyway, so these six men accepted Islam

693
00:50:53,311 --> 00:50:58,555
and they told Rasool Allahﷺ, we'll go back to our people and start preaching the message.

694
00:50:59,726 --> 00:51:05,049
And they made an appointment with Rasool Allah ﷺ to meet him next year in the season of Hajj(حَجْ).

695
00:51:06,334 --> 00:51:16,467
So, a year passed by and now the season of Hajj(حَجْ) approached, the six came back as 12.

696
00:51:18,129 --> 00:51:21,529
We had the Original Six, in addition to them six more.

697
00:51:22,696 --> 00:51:24,930
The earlier, six were all from Al-Khazraj(الخزرج)

698
00:51:25,033 --> 00:51:28,874
there's one narration that says five were from Al-Khazraj(الخزرج), and one from Al-Aos(الاوس).

699
00:51:29,419 --> 00:51:33,168
Now, in the second year, they were 12,

700
00:51:34,012 --> 00:51:38,501
10 of them were from Al-Khazraj(الخزرج) and 2 from Al-Aos(الاوس)

701
00:51:39,224 --> 00:51:42,922
They came to Rasool Allah ﷺ and they gave him Pledge of Allegiance.

702
00:51:43,209 --> 00:51:46,059
And it was called the pledge of the women.

703
00:51:46,599 --> 00:51:49,487
Even though none of them, was a female.

704
00:51:50,086 --> 00:51:55,229
These 12 were males, but the Pledge of Allegiance was called Baiyah-Tun-Nisaa(بيعة النساء),

705
00:51:55,443 --> 00:51:57,607
 the Pledge of Allegiance of the women.

706
00:51:58,090 --> 00:51:58,798
Why?

707
00:51:58,988 --> 00:52:04,600
Because it did not include within its terms, any pledge of fighting.

708
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,051
The terms of the pledge were.!

709
00:52:08,980 --> 00:52:14,472
We pledge to the Messenger of Allah, on the night of the first meeting, at Aqabah(عقبه)

710
00:52:14,918 --> 00:52:19,352
that we would not associate any other God with Allah,

711
00:52:20,098 --> 00:52:21,994
that we would not steal,

712
00:52:22,447 --> 00:52:23,658
 commit fornication,

713
00:52:23,915 --> 00:52:25,169
kill our children,

714
00:52:25,295 --> 00:52:27,058
make false accusations,

715
00:52:27,285 --> 00:52:29,404
nor disobey him in anything good.

716
00:52:30,094 --> 00:52:34,442
He told us, if you keep to this, you shall have paradise.

717
00:52:34,755 --> 00:52:36,803
But if you give up any of this

718
00:52:37,118 --> 00:52:42,192
and you are punished for it in this world, then that will provide the atonement for you.

719
00:52:42,518 --> 00:52:45,070
But if it is overlooked until Judgment Day,

720
00:52:45,260 --> 00:52:49,348
it will be up to Allah to decide whether to punish or to forgive you.

721
00:52:49,566 --> 00:52:55,866
So, you can notice here that the pledge includes them, committing themselves to Islam

722
00:52:56,337 --> 00:52:58,568
and worshiping as individuals,

723
00:52:58,909 --> 00:53:02,594
but it does not include any terms relating to protection or fighting.

724
00:53:03,133 --> 00:53:04,866
And that's why it was called Baiyah-Tun-Nisaa(بيعة النساء).

725
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,276
Why was it given this name?

726
00:53:06,468 --> 00:53:10,516
because this was the pledge of allegiance, that women would give to Muhammadﷺ.

727
00:53:11,516 --> 00:53:16,341
Now there's a Fiqh(فقه) issue to be dealt with here,

728
00:53:16,903 --> 00:53:18,924
you notice here that these are major sins,

729
00:53:18,964 --> 00:53:19,675
stealing,

730
00:53:19,742 --> 00:53:20,646
fornicating,

731
00:53:20,821 --> 00:53:22,026
killing children,

732
00:53:22,186 --> 00:53:23,902
making false accusations,

733
00:53:24,067 --> 00:53:26,296
these are all major sins.

734
00:53:26,955 --> 00:53:30,010
And there is a hadd(حد) a punishment prescribed.

735
00:53:30,633 --> 00:53:39,734
Now, Rasool Allah ﷺ says here, that if the punishment is fulfilled in this world, that will forgive you of the sin.

736
00:53:41,407 --> 00:53:46,028
However, if the punishment is not done in this world,

737
00:53:46,242 --> 00:53:49,020
than it is up to Allah, to either forgive or punish.

738
00:53:49,353 --> 00:53:50,695
 So, if somebody steals

739
00:53:51,307 --> 00:53:56,251
and they are punished for their stealing by the cutting of the hand, then that forgives the sin, that forgives the sin.

740
00:53:56,847 --> 00:53:58,410
The sin is gone.

741
00:53:58,903 --> 00:54:01,077
But if the punishment is not implemented,

742
00:54:02,046 --> 00:54:06,962
on the Day of Judgment, it is up to Allah to forgive or to punish for that particular sin.

743
00:54:07,928 --> 00:54:11,579
And that relates to Al-Kabaer(ألكبائر), the major sins.

744
00:54:12,850 --> 00:54:22,430
Now Rasool Allah ﷺ appointed Mus'ab Bin Umair(مصعب بن عمير) to go and teach the people of Madina Islam.

745
00:54:22,955 --> 00:54:24,672
You can call him an ambassador,

746
00:54:25,037 --> 00:54:26,521
you can call him a teacher,

747
00:54:26,815 --> 00:54:28,307
you can call him a scholar,

748
00:54:28,465 --> 00:54:30,330
he had all of these roles in one.

749
00:54:31,097 --> 00:54:35,504
Mus'ab Ibn Umairرضي الله عنه came from a wealthy family in Quraish(قُرَيْشْ),

750
00:54:36,062 --> 00:54:41,270
Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) was the most spoiled young man in Makkah, before Islam.

751
00:54:42,351 --> 00:54:50,066
He he used to wear the most expensive clothes, he would have the best perfume

752
00:54:50,530 --> 00:54:53,006
and his mother was taking care of him.

753
00:54:53,212 --> 00:54:57,752
So, she was very wealthy woman and she didn't have many kids.

754
00:54:57,966 --> 00:54:59,982
So, she was taking very good care of them.

755
00:55:00,442 --> 00:55:01,831
And he was very spoiled.

756
00:55:02,220 --> 00:55:10,119
He became Muslim, his mother boycotted him, she stood against him.

757
00:55:10,686 --> 00:55:15,801
And Subhaan Allah(سُبْحَان الله) Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير), who was wealthy turns from wealth to poverty

758
00:55:16,491 --> 00:55:20,665
from living a spoiled life, to living a tough and harsh life.

759
00:55:21,369 --> 00:55:25,135
And when Mus'ab Ibn Umairرضي الله عنه was killed in the Battle of Uhud(أحد)

760
00:55:26,110 --> 00:55:32,645
the witnesses of his burial said: He did not even leave behind enough money to buy a coffin.

761
00:55:34,227 --> 00:55:39,979
And obviously since he's a Shaheed(شهيد), he's not wrapped in any special clothes.

762
00:55:40,275 --> 00:55:45,617
But when he was fighting, he had on himself one piece of cloth that was not sufficient to cover him.

763
00:55:46,712 --> 00:55:50,281
So, they said whenever we would cover his face, his feet would appear.

764
00:55:50,983 --> 00:55:53,986
And whenever we would cover his feet, his face would appear.

765
00:55:54,208 --> 00:55:56,550
So, they went to Rasool Allah ﷺ and said: What can we do?

766
00:55:56,837 --> 00:56:01,964
He said, Well cover his face, and then use some tree leaves to cover his feet.

767
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,487
Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) was given this difficult task

768
00:56:06,733 --> 00:56:14,502
and major responsibility of being, the personal representative of Rasool Allah ﷺ in Madina.

769
00:56:14,872 --> 00:56:19,168
So, now Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) left Makkah, and he went to reside in Madina.

770
00:56:20,490 --> 00:56:23,476
Since Al-Aos Wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج) were enemies.

771
00:56:23,785 --> 00:56:26,357
Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) had to lead them in Salah(صلاة),

772
00:56:26,830 --> 00:56:30,850
because none of them would accept praying behind an Imam from the other tribe.

773
00:56:32,529 --> 00:56:41,143
One day, Mus'ab Ibn Umairرضي الله عنه, was with As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره), who was his host,

774
00:56:41,226 --> 00:56:43,802
 As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره), was the one, who was hosting Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب إبن عمير).

775
00:56:44,238 --> 00:56:49,242
So, they went to visit some of the Muslims, they went into this farm garden,

776
00:56:49,512 --> 00:56:53,499
 and they were sitting there, and the Muslims were coming to them to learn.

777
00:56:53,970 --> 00:56:56,205
They would come and meet with Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) and he would teach them,

778
00:56:56,245 --> 00:57:00,158
he would hold Halaqaat(حلقات), sessions for them, in this place.

779
00:57:00,751 --> 00:57:10,855
They happen to go to a neighborhood of Madina that was part of Al-Aos(الاوس)'s territory.

780
00:57:11,347 --> 00:57:17,236
And remember that, the majority of the Muslims were from which tribe Al-Aos(الاوس) or Al-Khazraj(الخزرج).?

781
00:57:17,598 --> 00:57:18,542
From Al-Khazraj(الخزرج).!

782
00:57:18,924 --> 00:57:23,805
So, Islam now was spreading with speed among Al-Khazraj(الخزرج),

783
00:57:24,066 --> 00:57:26,860
but it wasn't catching up with Al-Aos(الاوس).

784
00:57:27,266 --> 00:57:32,736
So, now Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) is trying to make inroads within Al-Aos(الاوس).

785
00:57:33,077 --> 00:57:37,085
 So, they went to an area that is in the land of Al-Aos(الاوس), and they sat there.

786
00:57:38,647 --> 00:57:40,783
The leaders of Al-Aos(الاوس) were close by.

787
00:57:40,902 --> 00:57:43,092
Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) and Usaid Bin Khudhair(أسيد بن خضير).

788
00:57:44,154 --> 00:57:48,239
Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) spotted Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) and As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره).

789
00:57:49,890 --> 00:57:55,232
Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) told Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير), I want you to go to those two men

790
00:57:55,896 --> 00:58:03,817
and tell them that, we don't want them around misguiding the weak and foolish among us.

791
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:11,686
 And if it wasn't for the fact that As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره) was my relative, I would have done that myself

792
00:58:11,974 --> 00:58:14,879
As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره), was in a position

793
00:58:15,321 --> 00:58:19,374
that Subhaan Allah(سُبْحَان الله), Allah prepared him to carry this role of hosting Mus'ab(مصعب).

794
00:58:19,798 --> 00:58:22,330
As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره) was from Al-Khazraj(الخزرج).

795
00:58:22,936 --> 00:58:27,766
But he was a cousin of the head of Al-Aos(الاوس).

796
00:58:28,979 --> 00:58:33,289
So, on the mother's side, he was a relative of Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ).

797
00:58:33,559 --> 00:58:38,321
So, he had ties to both tribes both to Al-Aos(الاوس) and Al-Khazraj(الخزرج).

798
00:58:39,131 --> 00:58:43,906
Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) told Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير), I want you to go and kick them out.

799
00:58:44,115 --> 00:58:48,400
And if it wasn't for the fact that As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره) is my relative, I would have done that myself.

800
00:58:49,167 --> 00:58:56,533
So now, Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير), went up carrying his spear towards Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) and As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره).

801
00:58:57,081 --> 00:58:59,171
As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره), saw him coming,

802
00:58:59,619 --> 00:59:06,003
and he told Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير); This is a leader of his people, be sincere with him.

803
00:59:07,053 --> 00:59:12,214
Do your best, because if he becomes Muslim, many people will follow him.

804
00:59:13,541 --> 00:59:17,274
Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) said: If he listens, I would!

805
00:59:18,012 --> 00:59:19,734
So, now Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير) came

806
00:59:20,162 --> 00:59:26,194
and he stood above them carrying his spear, speaking to them in a very harsh tone.

807
00:59:26,519 --> 00:59:27,265
He said;

808
00:59:27,989 --> 00:59:34,006
we don't want you around here, misleading the weak and ignorant among us.

809
00:59:34,490 --> 00:59:38,881
And then he said, and if you care about your lives, you better get out of here.

810
00:59:40,381 --> 00:59:44,533
Otherwise, this is my spear, you could be killed.

811
00:59:45,239 --> 00:59:46,287
So, he threatened them.

812
00:59:46,588 --> 00:59:50,888
And one of the attendees of the Halaqah(حلقه).

813
00:59:51,695 --> 00:59:56,330
He said: Well, you are the one who was misleading us, and he started an argument.

814
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,979
Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) responded calmly by saying,

815
01:00:01,159 --> 01:00:05,035
how about you sit down, and you hear, what I say.

816
01:00:05,392 --> 01:00:10,408
If you like it, you can accept it, if you don't, you can reject it.

817
01:00:12,298 --> 01:00:14,098
Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير) said: Fair enough.

818
01:00:14,273 --> 01:00:18,445
And he sat down, he stuck his spear in the ground and he sat down.

819
01:00:19,314 --> 01:00:24,753
Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) started reciting to him Ayaat(آيات) of Qur'an, giving them Da'wah(دعوة) explaining Islam.

820
01:00:24,959 --> 01:00:26,690
 As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره) said;

821
01:00:27,615 --> 01:00:30,267
even without him speaking a word,

822
01:00:30,801 --> 01:00:36,791
We were able to see Islam entering his heart, because of the calmness in his face

823
01:00:37,054 --> 01:00:39,207
and the radiance of light coming out of it.

824
01:00:39,425 --> 01:00:41,099
We could see it on his face.

825
01:00:42,016 --> 01:00:46,491
And when Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) finished with his session with Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير),

826
01:00:47,031 --> 01:00:50,466
Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير) said: What does one have to do to join your religion.

827
01:00:52,618 --> 01:00:56,398
Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) told him wash yourself and you come and pray.

828
01:00:57,198 --> 01:00:59,689
Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير), he did that and then he came back,

829
01:01:00,504 --> 01:01:08,353
and he said; Now I'm going to send you a man, if he becomes Muslim all of his people will follow him.

830
01:01:09,626 --> 01:01:12,800
 Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير) went to Sa'ad Bin Muadh(سعد بن معاذ).

831
01:01:13,445 --> 01:01:16,353
Now Sa'ad Bin Muadh(سعد بن معاذ), saw Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير) and he said;

832
01:01:16,447 --> 01:01:21,443
I swear by Allah that he's coming to us with a different face than, the one he left us with.

833
01:01:21,854 --> 01:01:23,651
The Arabs had this Farasah(فراسه) thing,

834
01:01:24,086 --> 01:01:26,323
Farasah(فراسه) is the art of reading the face.

835
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,122
And it is reported that Ash-Shafa'i(الشافعي) went to Yemen to learn this art.

836
01:01:30,512 --> 01:01:32,048
So, it was an art that existed.

837
01:01:32,308 --> 01:01:37,615
And a Chinese brother, a Muslim brother said that also in China, some people have this art.

838
01:01:37,898 --> 01:01:41,771
You look at the face of a person and you try to read what is in their hearts,

839
01:01:41,811 --> 01:01:44,338
what is what they're thinking about what's going on with them.

840
01:01:44,979 --> 01:01:48,454
There's an incident when Umar Ibn Al-Khattab(عمر ابن الخطاب) was a Khalifah(خليفه),

841
01:01:48,772 --> 01:01:51,406
he saw a man passing by, and he said;

842
01:01:52,494 --> 01:01:57,667
This man is either a soothsayer or he has been a soothsayer in the past.

843
01:01:58,006 --> 01:01:59,832
So, they went and asked this man he said:

844
01:01:59,998 --> 01:02:01,168
Yes, I used to be a Kahin (كاهن).

845
01:02:01,208 --> 01:02:05,265
I used to be a fortune teller or a soothsayer?

846
01:02:05,583 --> 01:02:07,173
He said; Yes, I was a soothsayer,

847
01:02:07,314 --> 01:02:09,338
So Umar Ibn Al-Khattab(عمر ابن الخطاب) just knew it by looking at his face.

848
01:02:10,247 --> 01:02:13,432
So, Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ), when he looked at the face of Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير),

849
01:02:13,457 --> 01:02:15,418
he said; He's coming back to us with a different face

850
01:02:15,953 --> 01:02:17,165
than the face he left us with.

851
01:02:18,293 --> 01:02:19,676
Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) told him what happened.

852
01:02:19,716 --> 01:02:23,118
Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير) said; Everything is fine. Don't worry about it.

853
01:02:24,008 --> 01:02:26,437
There's a slight problem, however,

854
01:02:26,707 --> 01:02:32,607
and that is that Bannu Harris(بنو الحارث) want to kill As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره)

855
01:02:32,647 --> 01:02:34,555
because they know that he's your cousin.

856
01:02:36,329 --> 01:02:39,785
In case you don't remember the names, As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن ضراره) is the man with Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير)

857
01:02:39,830 --> 01:02:41,996
and he's the cousin of Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ).

858
01:02:42,333 --> 01:02:43,400
Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير) said;

859
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:49,572
Bannu Hariss(بنو الحارث) this is a branch of Al-Khazraj(الخجرج), want to kill As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره),

860
01:02:50,296 --> 01:02:51,809
because he is your relative.

861
01:02:52,220 --> 01:02:54,651
Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير), made up the whole story, that wasn't true.

862
01:02:55,388 --> 01:03:01,110
The whole reason why, he made it up, is he wants Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) to go and meet Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير).

863
01:03:01,420 --> 01:03:06,088
 Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) stood up angry and he said they want to kill my cousin.

864
01:03:06,312 --> 01:03:09,082
 He picked up the spear and he left and he said, you haven't done me any good.

865
01:03:10,329 --> 01:03:15,410
And he went there and he came, and you can see anger on his face.

866
01:03:16,163 --> 01:03:19,087
And he was carrying a spear, Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) saw him coming.

867
01:03:19,232 --> 01:03:23,878
As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره), told Mus'ab(مصعب), this is the leader of his people.

868
01:03:24,780 --> 01:03:26,093
Do the best you can.

869
01:03:26,818 --> 01:03:28,002
اُصْدُقَ الله فِيْكْ

870
01:03:28,602 --> 01:03:29,904
Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) came

871
01:03:30,351 --> 01:03:34,370
and Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ), he just took a look at the meeting.

872
01:03:34,748 --> 01:03:38,799
And he realized that the story that Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير) reported was fabricated

873
01:03:38,839 --> 01:03:41,173
because it didn't seem that they were terrified,

874
01:03:41,692 --> 01:03:44,522
it didn't seem that there was a plot to kill As'ad Bin Zurarah(أسعد بن زراره).

875
01:03:44,665 --> 01:03:46,955
Otherwise, they would have been acting differently.

876
01:03:47,475 --> 01:03:52,771
So, Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) realized that Usaid Bin Khuzair(أسيد بن خضير) has made up the story

877
01:03:52,954 --> 01:03:55,154
 because he wants him to come and see what's happening.

878
01:03:55,815 --> 01:04:00,041
Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ), came and he told As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره), he said;

879
01:04:00,251 --> 01:04:02,040
Why are you doing this to me.

880
01:04:02,285 --> 01:04:04,803
Why are you bringing this man to my territory?

881
01:04:04,933 --> 01:04:07,596
You're taking advantage of your relationship with me,

882
01:04:08,346 --> 01:04:13,130
you want to mislead the ignorant and the weak among us.

883
01:04:13,822 --> 01:04:16,239
Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير) responded and said;

884
01:04:16,918 --> 01:04:19,880
How about you sit down and hear what I have to say?

885
01:04:20,529 --> 01:04:24,743
If you like it, you can accept it, if you don't, you can reject it.

886
01:04:25,963 --> 01:04:27,851
Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) agreed and he sat down.

887
01:04:28,046 --> 01:04:30,723
Notice here the people of Madina are open minded.

888
01:04:31,329 --> 01:04:35,306
They don't have the sense of hostility that existed in Makkah.

889
01:04:36,986 --> 01:04:39,262
They were willing to listen, so Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) sat down,

890
01:04:39,302 --> 01:04:43,592
Mus'ab Ibn Umair(مصعب ابن عمير), the choice of Rasool Allah ﷺ for this mission,

891
01:04:44,088 --> 01:04:48,528
Subhaan Allah(سُبْحَان الله) he had the Hikmah(حكمة) and the wisdom of a Daiyah(داعيه), somebody who preach Islam.

892
01:04:48,867 --> 01:04:51,148
He started giving Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) a message

893
01:04:51,538 --> 01:04:57,317
As'ad Ibn Zurara(أسعد إبن زراره) said, I can read in his face, the fact that he wants to become a Muslim.

894
01:04:58,130 --> 01:05:02,379
And when the conversation finished Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) accepted Islam.

895
01:05:03,969 --> 01:05:06,530
And what was the first action Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) did.?

896
01:05:07,103 --> 01:05:10,769
He went to his people and he said, What is your opinion of me.?

897
01:05:11,966 --> 01:05:15,410
They said, You are the wisest among us, and you are our leader.

898
01:05:16,025 --> 01:05:21,287
Sa'ad Ibn Muadh(سعد بن معاذ) said: Well, none of you speak to me, and I will speak to none of you,

899
01:05:21,496 --> 01:05:22,546
 until you become Muslim.

900
01:05:24,424 --> 01:05:25,996
The narrator of the Hadith(حديث) said;

901
01:05:26,076 --> 01:05:30,735
By the end of that evening, every house among Bannu-Al-Ash'hal(بنو الإشحل) was Muslim.

902
01:05:31,636 --> 01:05:35,837
The whole clan of Bannu-Al-Ash'hal(بنو الإشحل), which were a branch of Al-Aos(ألاوس).

903
01:05:36,158 --> 01:05:40,110
So, now a huge breakthrough was made within Al-Aos(ألاوس).

904
01:05:40,811 --> 01:05:43,477
So, you have both Al-Aos wal Khazraj(ألاوس ولخزرج).

905
01:05:43,804 --> 01:05:46,548
صَلَّى الله عَلى سَيَّدِنَا محمد وَعَلى اَلِهِ وَ صَحْبِهِ وَسَلِّمْ
