00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			I'm about
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			I forget what we call this thing.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			Something something it's basically about a Taif.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			Has to put his poetry touch in there.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			What was it called?
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			Ish. Rejection to
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			ish?
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			Mercy. I like it. It's good. Rejection okay.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			Let's start over. Welcome to
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			rejection to mercy. Yes. The story of Ataif.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			Alright. So let's look at some of the
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			events that led the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			to leave Mecca
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			and go try to find another city to
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			give dawah to, which will be Al Ta'if.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			We have a number of events just to
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			give us some context here. First of all,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			the we the Muslims had just come out
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			of the the 3 years
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			in what are known as shia'ab I Talib,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			the ravines
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			where they were banished by nihashim. Muslim and
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			non Muslim were sent out
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			and to and they lived in the ravines,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			starvation.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			They were no one was allowed to to
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			sell them anything or deal with them in
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			business until the boycott ended. Shortly thereafter,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			the uncle of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			sallam, Abu Ghareb,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			is dying. And then Nabi salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			sallam comes to him,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			and
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			he's going to
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			give him to try until the last moment
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			to call him to Islam.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			So when he comes, the bad news is
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			there are people there,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			and amongst them is Abu Jah. So now
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			he's not obviously, he's not gonna let him
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			give him dawah without any interference or any
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			interruption.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			So the prophet tells
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			his uncle, he says, You am.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			So the uncle, say.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			In one narration,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			this word if you say it, I will
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			argue your case in front of Allah
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			Just say la ilaha illa Allah I will
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			argue your your case in front of Allah
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			And then
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			what what happens of course Abu Jair is
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			not just gonna be there sit sit there
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			quietly.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			So he says,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			He doesn't even like Abdul Muttalib. But he
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			does he just wants to say anything to
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			make him not leave his religion. So it's
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			as if he's saying,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			would you leave the religion of the great
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			Abdul Mutayb?
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			And he doesn't even like him, but just
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			anything to get him to stay upon what
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			he's upon.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41
			And the prophet is trying and Abu Jahl
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			is, you know, countering
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			and then the last words of Abu Talib,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			he says alamilati
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:49
			Abdul Muttalib.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			I'm meaning I'm gonna die upon the belief
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			or the religion, the creed of Abdul Muttalib.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			And, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, first
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			he says that he's going to he he
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:01
			says
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			I'm going to
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			make seek forgiveness for you so long as
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			Allah does not
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			prevent me. And then the ayat came down
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			preventing
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			making dua and istighfar meaning for the
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			the kufaro of deceased.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			And so the prophet of course didn't do
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:21
			that.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			And you imagine,
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			Abdul Mutayb raised the prophet
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			like his like his own son. He grew
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			up in his household after the death of
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:30
			his grandfather,
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			the prophet grandfather,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			Abdul Muttalib.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			And you would imagine how much he would
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			have liked to make dua
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			for his uncle in the place of his
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			father, but he was forbidden, so he stopped.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			And the the ruling is super clear
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			that you're not allowed to make dua for
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			non muslims once they pass on. When they're
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			alive, you can make dua for Allah to
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			guide them all that. But once they pass
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:55
			on, khalas.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			And now every time some celebrity or some
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			singer dies, you see Muslims posting,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			rest in peace, peace mean.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			Just stay out of it. Just stay out
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			of it. People come to you and, like,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			oh, you know, my neighbor, he was such
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			a good man. He was our neighbor for
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			10 years. We grew up seeing him and
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			everything, and then he died. Now can I
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			make dua for him?
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			Look, you wanna be merciful?
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			It's too late now.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			The manifestation of your mercy is that you
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			you invite them to Islam while they're alive.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			Mush, 10 years he's your neighbor, you ignore
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			him just, hi, how are you doing? And
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			then after he dies, now you wanna be
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			merciful. Can I make dua for him? Tell
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			him, no. Oh,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			that's kinda brutal, isn't it? No. I told
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			you it was brutal. Being his neighbor for
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			10 years and not saying a word. That's
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:40
			brutal.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			Every time someone does, rest in peace and
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:46
			Alhamdulillahallahuallaha
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:47
			illaamun sikhtulmugrifa.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			The point is,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			the point is
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:53
			Abu
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:54
			Talib
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:55
			dies.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:56
			Now,
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			some of the some of the scholars
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			said 3 days later,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			others said 2 months later, others said within
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			the same year. Either way, it's very close.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			Khadija Radiullah Anha dies. So Abu Talib was
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			the one offering the protection to the Prophet
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. So his protector outside
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			of the house. And then his main supporter
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			inside the house Khadija Radiullah Anha dies. So
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			within a short period of time, and this
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			became known by the historians, this became known
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			as the year of sorrow or sadness, am
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			Alhusn. They refer to it as a year
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			of sadness
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			because it was just sad event after sad
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:32
			event.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			After the death of Abu Talib,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			anybody could attack the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			sallam.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			Anybody.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			Before,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			you know, you had to be someone of
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46
			standing in order to attack the prophet physically
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			or throw something at him but now anyone
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			even no name riffraffs will attack the prophet
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:53
			He said
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:54
			he
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:58
			said,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			he said,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			something to me that I hated until Abu
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			Talib died.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			So and nobody one time came, and he
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			just poured dirt on the head of the
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. This is like one
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			of the ways to insult someone you pour
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			dirt on their head, sandy, honey.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			And he goes home and his daughter, if
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			you can imagine it, his daughter Fatima
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			is cleaning the head of the Prophet
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			while she's crying.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			And the Prophet is telling her
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			Don't cry, O daughter, indeed Allah is with
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			your father.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			And then it comes to the point where
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			the day when the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			is praying at the Kaaba.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			And we have the leaders
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			of the Kufar of Quraish
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49
			from, Abu Jahal and
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			and, the the sons of, or,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			yeah, and Shayb of
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:57
			Nirabi,
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			all of them are sitting there.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			And then Abu Jahl says, which of you
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			will go get
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			salal jazur? Which
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:06
			is
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			the which would be the intestines of a
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			camel
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			or probably the placenta of a camel that
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			gave birth. And either way it's a camel,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			so it's gonna be huge. Right? Who will
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			get that and put it on the back
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:19
			of the Prophet
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			while he's making sujood?
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			And then Uqbab Nabi Mu'ait got up
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			and he brought this material.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			Whether it's at the intestines or the placenta,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			it's still a lot. Yeah. And if someone
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			put the intestines of a baby goat on
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			your back while you're making sujood, how bad
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			is that? Camel,
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			and then that slimy worm material is coming
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			down, sliding down like this,
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			and they're laughing.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:44
			The eyewitness
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			is ibn Mas'ud.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			And you can feel the pain
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:49
			in
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			when ibn Mas'ud is speaking. You can feel
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			he can't do anything. If you remember Ibn
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			Mus'ud radhiyalaan,
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			he's the one that does not have a
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			strong tribe to protect him. He's the one
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			who was the 1st to publicly recite Quran,
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			recite his surah al Rahman
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			and then they beat him so much that
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			they couldn't tell his nose from the rest
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			of his face. Meaning his face was so
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			swollen, they couldn't see his nose from the
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:12
			rest of his face.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			So that's one thing, he didn't have a
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			strong tribe to protect him. The second thing,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			ibn Mas'ud, what about him physically? Do you
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			remember? He likes. Yeah. He's very skinny. Like
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			he's a small and and skinny. Like
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			there's a narration at the battle of Badr
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			at the end of the battle. When he
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			went to speak to Abu Jahl, who was
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			dying, he had to climb on top of
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			him to talk to him. And how big
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			is this guy and how small is the
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			other guy? Right?
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			So
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			so Ibn Mas'ud says,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			He said, and I'm just I'm watching,
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			and there's nothing I can do. He says,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			and if I just had some people with
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			me, if I just had some men, I
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			just had some bodies with me to do
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			something but I can't.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			And then he says
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			So they start to laugh and to lean
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			against each other. You know when people are
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			sitting there laughing real hard, what happens? They
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			start to lean on each other like this
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			they're leaning on each other laughing at this
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			while the prophet is still in sujood and
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			that material is still on his back Sallallahu
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			alaihi wa sallam. He says until someone
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			told Fatima,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:30
			Fajaaat wahiaa juwairiyah. She came while she was
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			still a young girl. Some of the scholars
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			said she was about 10 years old
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			and she removed it from the back of
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			the prophet while she's crying and she's trying
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			to insult them and say something to them.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			Then the prophet finished his salah
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			and this is a moment
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			that we have never seen before and up
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			until this point.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			Prophet finished the salah
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			and he put his hands up and everybody
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			can hear him. Those guys who were laughing
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			and leaning a minute ago they can hear
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			this.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			And Nabi
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			says, Allahumma'alaika
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			be Quraysh.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			Allahumma'alaika
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			be Quraysh.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			When they heard the dua,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			they all got scared. Because first of all,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			they understood the dua at the Kaaba and
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			what that meant,
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			and they revered the Kaaba.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			2, they know this is an honest man
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			and they've never seen anything except righteousness from
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			him salallahu alaihi wa sallam, and they know
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			that they wronged him. So when he started
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			making dua, Allahummaalaika
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			bu Qurish they all got quiet, they all
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			got scared. Then by name he says
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:53
			There were 7,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			the narrator says,
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			and I forgot the 7th one. But from
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			other narrations we know that it was Ammar
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:00
			ibn Walid.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			So and then the the narrative says, I
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			swear by Allah that I saw the ones
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			the prophet made dua against dead in the
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			well after Badr. Remember they threw the leaders
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			of the kuffar in a in an abandoned
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			well
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			after the battle of Badr. He says these
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			7 the prophet made dua against by name,
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			I saw all 7 of them in that
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			well.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			What's interesting here is what the scholars say
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			like look how long it took for the
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			dua of a prophet of Allah
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			who was dealt with unjustly
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			at the Kaaba to be answered.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			It happened years later after the prophet moved
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			to Madinah, migrated and then
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			the battle took place and then these 7
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			that he made dua against by name were
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			killed. And so the lesson is you never
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			rush the dua. And as the prophet also
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:49
			said
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			your dua will be answered and responded to
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			so long as you do not become hasty,
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			you rush.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			And and they asked him
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			he said he says the person says, I
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			asked and I asked, and nothing happened.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			So it's not instant. And today, we always
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			expect things to be instant. Yeah. And you
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			you finish making dua and there's a package
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:10
			there.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			Khalas. Just Amazon Prime. Oh,
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			Takes time. Sometimes it takes years. And sometimes
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			it will never be answered.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			But either way, you can clearly see now
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			that everybody is able to attack the Prophet
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			salallahu alayhi wa salam. He has no defender,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			he has no supporter from within the house.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			Everything is indicating
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			that it's not working out in Makkh.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			It's not working out, and you have to
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			go somewhere else.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			So the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			chose to go to
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:41
			aqa'if.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			Now
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			the thing is that, you know, a lot
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			of times you just hear that it was
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			the the city nearby.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			Taif was just nearby.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			But there is more to it than just
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			that. So
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			we've got a couple of things.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			Number 1, it was the 2nd largest city
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			after Mecca.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			And then it has a great place in
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			the heart of the Meccans.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			Why is that a big deal?
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			Meaning, imagine the prophet is gonna go give
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			dawah to
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			a city that's hated by the Meccans.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			Would that encourage them to become Muslim?
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			No. We hated those guys anyways, and now
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			we hate them and their new religion.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			But if it's a city that has a
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			place that in the heart of the Meccans,
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			this might encourage them and soften their hearts
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			towards Islam. Makes sense?
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			What's the proof?
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			Allah says in Surah al Zukruf
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			They said
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			this Quran it should have been revealed to
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			a great man from either of the 2
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			cities.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:48
			What two cities? Mecca and Atayf.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			Means
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			that Atayf was so special to them that
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			they said we would accept
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			this Quran if it were sent to any
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			man, a great man from Mecca or a
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			great man from Ata'if. That shows you that
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			Ata'if had some some meaning to them.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			So that's why it makes it a good
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			place, the 2nd largest city
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			and it's nearby. Yeah, it's an advantage
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			and it's a city that has a great
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			place in the heart of the Meccans. So
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			if they become Muslim, that will soften the
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			Meccans hearts towards Islam. So it's not just
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			because it's nearby. There's more intelligence there.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			Also it has the tribe of Thaqif.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:25
			Tribe of Thaqif is a very strong tribe
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			to the point that after the conquering of
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			Mecca, the Muslims went to try to attack
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			Ta'if and and Taqif
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:34
			and they laid siege to them and it
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36
			was unsuccessful and then they left them and
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			then they came into Islam by themselves.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			So it's a strong place and a strong
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			tribe and of course that's an advantage. If
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			that strong tribe becomes Muslim, what's the advantage
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:48
			to Islam? A great advantage.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			There was also
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:51
			some
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			competition between Mecca and Ata'if.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			So what does Mecca have? It has the
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:57
			Kaaba.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			At Ta'if had
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			what did Ta'if have?
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:04
			Allat.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			Allat was from At Ta'if.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			So and you know the Meccans would swear
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			by a lot and al Uzza. So they
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:13
			respected a lot. That's from a Taif.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			So why is that a good point? Because
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			now it's an opportunity
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			for them to be able to surpass Mecca.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			Like we could never beat the Meccans because
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			they have the Ka'bah.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			But if we follow the prophet of Allah,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			that's an opportunity to surpass them. So that
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			might be something that will motivate them to
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			become Muslim.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			And then,
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			a lot of the
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			the nobles
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			and the leaders of in Makkah, they actually
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			owned land
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			and property in Ataif. So from Bani Hashim,
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			from Bani Abdashams, from Bani Mahzoum, they all
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			had wealth and property
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			in attaif. Why is that a good point?
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			Because if attaif becomes Muslim that's a serious
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			blow to them, a financial blow to them.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:15:59
			All these are things
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			why and explanations why the Prophet chose Utaif.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			It wasn't just it's nearby.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			All strategy, all
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			planning.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			So in the according to these narrations in
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			the same month as the death of Abu
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:15
			Talib and Khadija,
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			And, they say this was around May or
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:21
			June. So May or June in Arabia, what's
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			the weather like?
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			Hot hot. Very hot. Right?
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			And the prophet
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			went on foot
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			and
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:34
			he only took Zayd ibn Haritha with him.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35
			So one of the things we always say
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			in the Sira, when you find the name,
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			you pause for a minute. Like why did
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			the Prophet just take Zayd ibn harithah? And
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			why did he go on foot? Like he
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:47
			had camels, mules, donkeys, horses. He could have
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			ridden and he could have taken
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			so many of the companions.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			He could have taken Abdul Umar ibn A'awf
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			and Talhabnu Ubaydala, and Uthmar ibn Affan and
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:58
			Abu Bakr and Ali and and he could've
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			had Al Ta'if broken up into different quadrants
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:02
			and you give dawah in this area and
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			we'll do this area and we'll do that
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			area and now I have protection.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			But he just took Zayd ibn Haritha.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			And what do you know about Zayd ibn
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10
			Haritha?
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			He used to be
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:13
			the
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			and he goes on foot, does it look
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:26
			like he's leaving town?
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			Does it look like he's traveling? It just
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			looks like a man and his son
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			going somewhere nearby.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			So what does that tell you? It tells
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			you that the prophet
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			had to go to a ta'if
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:42
			like under the noses of the Quraysh. Meaning
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			meaning
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			that
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			the Quraysh we're not gonna allow him to
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			just go out,
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55
			give daw in another city. Yeah, go ahead,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			leave, give dua in another city and maybe
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			they'll accept and then he can come back
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			and lay siege to us and block our
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			trade routes.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			Sure. Go ahead.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			So he had to sneak away for lack
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			of a better term.
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			And that's why he went on foot even
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			though it was May or June, and it
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			was hot. And that's why he only took
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			Zayd ibn haridah and didn't take all the
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			other companions with him.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:17
			Okay.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			So when they get to aqa'if,
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			whom
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			whom should he approach?
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			And as you know when you read the
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			stories of the Prophets in the Quran, you
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			always find a dialogue to be between
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			the prophets of Allah and a group known
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:36
			as Al Mala. Al Mala, these are the
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			movers and shakers, the people who control
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			the power, the wealth, the money
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			and it's always a discussion between the malah
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:45
			and the prophets.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			And that's the shortcut
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			that anyone's da'iya would do. So if you
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			go into ata'if, are you gonna start calling
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			people in the street
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			or will you go straight to the leadership?
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			And if the leaders become Muslim,
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:00
			perhaps that will encourage everyone else to become
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:00
			Muslim.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			And of course the answer is, yeah. You
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			go after the leaders. And there's a lot
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			of evidence for that. We already gave one
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			that the prophets always spoke to Al Mallah.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11
			Because you affect them, you affect everyone else.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:12
			But
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15
			and there there are other arguments as well.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			But look at this one.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			Khaled ibn
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			Walid was such an intelligent man. He was
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:23
			incredibly
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:24
			intelligent.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			And one of the companions, this is later
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:27
			on,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			he's looking at Khaled bin Walid, and how
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			smart this man is.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			And he says, You Khaled, you are such
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			an intelligent man.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40
			Why was your Islam delayed so much? Khaled
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			became Muslim after the conquering of Makk.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			But he's so clever, he should have been
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			one of the early Muslims.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			And then Khaled gives him the reason and
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			from this reason you can see the effect
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			of the leadership on people.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			Look at what Khaled Radul Anil says, he
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			says there were men in Mecca
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			and he's talking about Abu Jahl and Abu
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			Lahab and Abu Sufyan and others. Abu Jahl
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			will always laugh at him and make fun
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			of Abu Abu Lahab will make fun of
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			him like you know? But he said there
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:12
			were some men in Mecca,
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			we used to equate
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			their brains to the mountains
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			We used to equate their brains to the
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:21
			mountains.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			So when they said Islam is no good
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:26
			and there's no khair and it, we never
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			even bothered to look for ourselves. We trust
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			them so much.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			We trust their leadership, we we trust their
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			decision, their estimation so much that I never
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:37
			bothered to look into it. Can you imagine
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			someone as brilliant as Khaled radiAllahu anhu.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			If that doesn't show you the effects of
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			of the leaders
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			then what will? So the leadership has an
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			immense effect on people. So the shortcut when
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			the Prophet enters a Taif is to go
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:54
			after the leadership. If he can effect change
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:57
			with them and then that change will trickle
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			all the way down to the common folks
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			in the street.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			So the Prophet
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:05
			goes to the 3 sons of Amr ibn
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			Umayr Athaqafi.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			He goes to the 3 sons of Amr
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:11
			ibn Umayr Athaqafi, Abdi Alayl and Mas'ud
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			and Habib.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			And he told he's he gives them the
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			message. What's their response?
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			So Abdi Alayl
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:21
			he says that he will tear the covers
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:21
			of the Ka'bah
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			if Allah sent him and if Allah sent
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			you as a Prophet
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:28
			in objection to this choice of you as
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			a prophet, I will go and tear. I'll
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			do some damage to the Kaaba. I will
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			tear the covers, the curtains of the Kaaba.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			That's how much I will object to Allah's
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			choice of you as prophet of Allah.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			And Masrood says
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			didn't Allah find anyone besides you?
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			That was his answer.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			And he had didn't Allah find anyone else
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			to entrust him with this message? And what
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			kind of question is that? What do you
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			think? Allah has access to everybody, and He
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			chose this man Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. So what
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			do you mean? Didn't Allah find anyone? But
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			yeah, He did. But He chose me because
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			I'm better than the rest. What do you
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			think?
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			So then Habib
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			like gave probably the worst answer. He said,
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			if you truly are a prophet of Allah
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			you are too great for me to speak
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			to. I mean I'm
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			too lowly and far beneath speaking to a
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			Prophet of Allah.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			And if you are lying
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			then you are too low for me to
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			speak to. If you're someone who has the
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:32
			audacity
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			to lie and say you're a prophet of
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			Allah then you're too low for me to
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			speak to.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			And what kind of logic is that type?
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			So then what should Allah send you?
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			This man, a Habib, what should Allah send
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			you? A hamster, aani? Well,
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			the prophet is too good, the liar is
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			too low. So what should what do you
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:52
			want?
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			It doesn't make any sense. Right? But basically,
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			they're just refusing. So the prophet tells them,
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			So if if this is your decision, if
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			this is what you're gonna do, then at
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			least do me this. Just keep this between
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:09
			us.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			One explanation says don't go around telling people
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			of ata'if, hey, there's somebody here and we
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			don't listen to him. Just keep this between
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:17
			us.
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			Other scholars
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			say it means
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			don't spread the news because I had to
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			sneak away from Mecca. Don't let them know
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			that I'm here giving dawah in your city.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			And both have
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			a good good argument.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			Prophet spent 10 days in Ata'if,
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			and after 10th
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			or on the 10th day they sent him
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			out of the city.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			And they had their slaves and their youth
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			stand on the sides of the road like
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			this with rocks in their hand.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			And as the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			and Zayd bin Hartha were walking out of
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			the city, they started to pelt them with
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			rocks. And the narrations specifically say that they
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			threw the rocks at their feet.
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:04
			Okay. But we said Tif is the 2nd
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			largest city in the area.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:09
			Now we don't have a number of how
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:09
			many
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			of the youth were there, how many of
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			the slaves were there. But the 2nd largest
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:14
			city,
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			what do you imagine? There's no wrong answer.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:19
			In your imagination, what what do you see
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			in that scene? Do you see, like, 5
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			or more?
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:24
			Several.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			Several dozen. Several dozen. Several dozen.
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:30
			70, 80?
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			Yeah. 60,
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			50,
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			even 40? More than that,
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:36
			Okay.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			And there's no right or wrong answer here
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			but you would imagine that if it's the
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:43
			2nd largest city and they it says they
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:44
			had the the slaves
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			you know the servants, and the youth line
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			up on the sides of the road, kiddah.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			You cannot imagine that there are just 10
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			or 12 of them.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			It's it's a bigger number.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			So you've got let's just can we just
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			just go with 35 for example? Just 35.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			It's enough for you to imagine
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			the constant shower of rocks coming at their
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			feet.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			So this person takes it throws and picks
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:10
			up the next one and throws and picks
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			up the next one and throws. And then
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			there's 34 other guys doing the exact same
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			thing. So that means it is a steady
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			shower of rocks nonstop.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			But here's where it's crazy.
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			And they followed him out
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			for 5 kilometers.
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			For 5 kilometers.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			And after 2 kilometers you turn around and
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			say,
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			really?
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			It's enough Allah. And how far are you
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			gonna follow me? 5 kilometers.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:42
			And it's just a constant shower. And that's
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			why the feet of the Prophet were so
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:44
			bloodied.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			Now the blood dries, he's wearing these sandals.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			And the blood dries
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			to the the point when he later removes
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
			the sandals,
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			it tears, it makes that
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:56
			sound.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			That's how much blood there was and you'll
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			see more of how fatigued the prophet looked.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			But
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			I wanted to pause on an interesting point
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			here. Why is it the narrations mentioned that
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			they threw rocks at their feet. They threw
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			rocks at their feet. And typically in class
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			here, I would ask you, but just for
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			brevity of time, we're just gonna skip ahead
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			here. But I would ask you, like, why
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:19
			specifically at their feet?
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:20
			And
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			and I've personally never seen this point discussed
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			in any seerah book. Like, why why their
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			feet? But there's some interesting things you can
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			come up with. The first thing is, they
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			didn't wanna kill them.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			Because if you have a constant shower of
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			rocks at your head
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			that's called stoning,
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:39
			right? That will kill for 5 kilometers,
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:42
			35 peep, even 20 people, just a constant
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			shower of rocks,
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			that would kill you. So they didn't want
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			to kill them, they want to send them
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			out of the city.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:49
			2,
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			they were they knew that they came in
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			walking and they're leaving walking.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			And now every step back is gonna hurt.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:57
			Yeah?
		
00:26:59 --> 00:26:59
			Also,
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:00
			your feet
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			will hurt more. Your feet, very bony.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			Right?
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			What are we? Who are our doctors? The
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:10
			the metatarsals, right? Those bones on your feet.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			Your feet are very bony
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			and every blow will hurt. Whereas if you
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			were just throwing at shoulders, like shoulders can
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:18
			deflect their fleshy,
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			Stomach some stomachs absorb the rock,
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:23
			gone.
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			But here it's gonna hurt, every even if
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			it misses, it's gonna hurt.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			And then they also can't run and protect
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:32
			their feet.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			Like, you can run and protect your head,
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			but you can't run
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			on your feet and also cover them, so
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			it'll be the most uncovered area.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			And
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45
			other possible reasons
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			that they didn't wanna hit their friends, they
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			stood on different sides of the road. If
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			you're aiming for heads, you miss the head,
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			you hit your head friend on his head.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			So they're aiming downwards, it's safer,
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:59
			and it could also be a way to
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			get them out of the city to leave
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:04
			faster. When you naturally, when you're aiming at
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			someone's feet,
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			they run they move faster. Right? If you
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10
			don't believe me, watch any western when they
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11
			get the guy out of town.
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			Alright. Thank you, Kahari.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			Yes, sir. Dance. Right?
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			Oh, boy. But
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			look. Yeah. I need you know,
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:27
			Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he goes through
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:27
			all this.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:29
			And you know,
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:33
			from the mushrikeen in general, from the kuffar
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			in general, you know what the Quran tells
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			them?
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			Allah tells them in the Quran
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:39
			Not
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			Minhum
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:50
			It's not saying don't be sad because of
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:53
			them, don't be sad for them.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:57
			What a great man, are you feeling this?
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:58
			No?
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			Sisters?
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:02
			Thank you.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:05
			What? You're not feeling this? After all they
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			did to him, Allah is telling him don't
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			be sad for them. Because after all they
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			did to him, he feels bad for them
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			That's a great man
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			Great man. He feels sad for them?
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			Allah, man, if it was me.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:21
			Abi Allah
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			destroy them
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			and give them that thing
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			that you gave the people of Lut. And
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:29
			don't give me the don't turn around. I
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:30
			wanna see the whole thing. And then after
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32
			that, I will flip them over again and
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			I want some hail and about bill birds
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:34
			and I want,
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			everything,
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:38
			and I wanna watch it.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			But the prophet was amazing.
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:45
			He's sad for them after what they did
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:45
			to him.
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			Don't be sad for them.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			Amazing, O Allah. Not don't be sad from
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			them.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:52
			Anyways
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:54
			So now the prophet
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:57
			and Zayd ibn Haritha and Zayd did his
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			best to protect the prophet as much as
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			possible, but how possible is that? So now
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:05
			they're going to walk back. So imagine how
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			slow the walk back is going to be
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			and how painful every step is going to
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			be. And there's the hadith or the narration
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			which has weakness in it of when the
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:16
			prophet made dua to Allah azza wa jal.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			And what's beautiful about it even though the
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:20
			weakness and narration but because it's Sira you
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22
			can mention things that have weakness in narration
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:25
			so long as you don't make a ruling
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			out of it or an act of worship
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			out of it. But it's beautiful that he
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			didn't wait till he got
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			back to Makkah and then made dua.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			He made dua right then and there.
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:39
			Just learning to quickly turn to Allah azzawal
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			in your time of need. Now once you
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			get home and make dua for this situation
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:43
			and
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:45
			Allah to ease my heart. So he made
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			du'a
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:46
			instantly
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:50
			until they're going now, they're walking until they
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			get to a vineyard
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:53
			that is owned
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			by Utba
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			and Shaiba, the sons of Rabia.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			Utba and Shaiba, the sons of Rabia.
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			Remember these names?
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			Okay. This is one of the other techniques.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			You focus on names and you'll see things
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:08
			that you've never seen before.
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:11
			Who are they?
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			A few days ago the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:16
			wa sallam made dua against them by name
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:18
			and they heard it.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26
			He made dua against them by name.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29
			Is it fair to assume
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			that this is probably
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:32
			the worst point
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			in the relationship of the Prophet with these
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			2 men?
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:39
			Is it fair to assume that? Has he
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			ever made dua against them at the Kaaba
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			by name? And they know that now he's
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:44
			openly making dua against them. So is it
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			fair to to say this is possibly the
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			worst time in their relationship?
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:49
			Yeah?
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:51
			Okay.
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			So even though
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			this was the worst time in their relationship
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57
			and a and a number of days ago,
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:00
			they heard him make dua against them by
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			name at the Kaaba. And they had done
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			the worst thing they had ever done to
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:05
			him. As far as the humiliation and laughing
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:06
			at him,
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:09
			they felt bad for him.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:10
			You understand?
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:14
			It's almost now because of because of this
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			point that we focused on, it's as if
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:17
			you can see
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:19
			the state of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:19
			sallam.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			That his enemies in the worst point of
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			their relationship felt bad for him. Can you
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:26
			imagine now what he looked like
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			The the bleeding,
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:32
			the sweat, the fatigue, him and Zayd
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			to the point that the enemies at their
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:37
			worst point felt bad
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:40
			and they sent him some grapes with their
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:41
			servant adas.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:42
			And so
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			the Adas, this young boy, he comes with
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			the grapes and he hands them to the
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:50
			Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. And the Prophet
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:51
			took
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:53
			some grapes and he said, Bismillah,
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:55
			and he ate.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:57
			Anything strange?
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			Nothing. Right?
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:03
			No. This is the other technique we use.
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:05
			Anytime you you wanna feel
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			the situation, put yourself in the place of
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:09
			the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam or whoever
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			is the story is happening to.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			Now put yourself in the place of the
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			What a great man that he ate the
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:27
			grapes. What a humble man.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:29
			What a man that does not hold grudges
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:30
			salallahu alayhi wa sallam. Because let me tell
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:33
			you something, If it was me and I'm
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:35
			resting in the vineyard, and then the servant
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:37
			comes and he says, suatba and shayba there
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:38
			sent you dates. What?
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:40
			Wait a minute. You tell me this is
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			their place? Like first of all, I wouldn't
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:45
			have rested here if I knew this belong
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			to these 2 punks. Alright?
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			And the second thing is you wanna send
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:50
			me grapes,
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:52
			Yeah. And you wanna have mercy on me,
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:53
			think I want your grapes?
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:55
			This is all your fault, Aslan. If you
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:58
			didn't overstep your boundaries in Mecca, I wouldn't
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			have come to Ata'if. And now you want
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			to send me some of your grapes? Take
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:02
			the grapes, oh masha'a. Yeah?
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:05
			But the prophet was such an amazing man.
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:06
			He just said
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			and he ate.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			Okay. I'm starting to to be convinced that
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:14
			I am easily blown away by things. Because
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			when I share it with people, everyone's just
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:16
			like
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:18
			yeah.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:20
			That's cool.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:24
			I know. You're jumping up and down internally,
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:26
			but you just have to maintain your composure.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:30
			What for? I don't know but okay. You
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31
			Allah, maintain your composure.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:34
			So the young man was blown away.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			He's because he heard the bismillah, the bismillah,
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:39
			which is another point the prophet didn't hide
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:41
			the bismillah. He wasn't ashamed of who he
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:44
			was. Subhaa salaam. He said, basmela.
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:46
			You know? I had this friend. We'd be
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48
			we'd be walking together.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50
			This was like in in in DC.
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			And he would be speaking to me in
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			Arabic. The minute he sees a non Muslim,
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56
			he switches to English. Like, are you ashamed,
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:56
			Jahabib?
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57
			You ashamed?
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:00
			Taheb. The prophet said, bismillah halas.
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02
			So Adaa said
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:07
			This what you just said,
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09
			the people of these parts they don't say
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:11
			that like I've never heard someone say Bismillah
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			before eating.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			So the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam even
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			though he's
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:16
			hurt,
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:18
			he goes to dua mode immediately.
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			He's naturally in dua mode. I would have
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:23
			been like, Yeah. Okay. I'm just tending to
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:23
			my wounds.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25
			Yeah. These Khalass, may you give me the
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:26
			grapes? I
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:28
			said,
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:33
			Khalass, you give me the grapes. Leave. I'll
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			eat them. La, I'm just looking at my
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:37
			wounds. No, the Prophet goes into Dawumud immediately.
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:40
			He tells he asks them, what is your
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:42
			name and where are you from?
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:45
			So he tells him that his name is
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:47
			Adas and that he is from Nainawa,
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49
			Nineveh in Iraq now.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			So
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:55
			a number of interesting things. The name
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			is is very important in dua. We always
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:58
			talk about ask for the name. When you're
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:00
			giving dua to someone, ask them for their
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02
			name, remember their name, and use their name.
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			Why? Because it makes the dawah very personal
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:05
			and Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam when he
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			came to Uthmar ibn Affan he said
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:09
			I am the messenger of Allah
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:12
			sent to you for
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15
			the rest of mankind.
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:17
			But you see how special? I was sent
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:19
			to you you Uthman and then to everybody
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:20
			else.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:22
			Makes it personal and special.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:24
			And you can also figure out a lot
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			from someone's name.
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:27
			So if their name is Levi,
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			you know they're Christian. If their name's Christian,
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32
			you know they're Jewish. If their name is
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:32
			Singh,
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:35
			you know that they're Hindu. And if it's
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:36
			Ram, you know that they're
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:37
			sikh.
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			Okay. Everything was reversed. Okay. Everything was reversed.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			Alright. You some some folks caught that.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:47
			But you understand a lot. You you get
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			such an advantage when you know someone's name.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			And now the prophet said, what what religion
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:54
			or what city you're from? In another nation
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:56
			he said, what religion are you? So he
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			said he's a Christian from Nainoa. And the
		
00:36:58 --> 00:36:59
			prophet
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:02
			knows something or 2 about that city.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:04
			And how do you feel when you've been
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:06
			in an area and nobody knows where you're
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:09
			from, and then somebody knows where you're from?
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10
			It feels special.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:13
			It feels special. And that's,
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:15
			like, you know, for me, when I people
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:16
			ask me, like,
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:19
			where are you from originally? I would say,
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			Sudan. It's right below
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			Egypt. Because it's America, nobody knows geography.
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:26
			So if it's right below Egypt, oh.
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:29
			Also in Egypt you don't know it. But
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			Khalaf Mashiya. The point is that
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			But then sometimes you tell someone from, from
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			Sudan, oh, from Khartoum or Omdurman. Look. Wait
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			a minute.
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:41
			How? How do you know this? No white
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:42
			people know this.
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:43
			You
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:47
			want serious? We'll be serious.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:52
			Prophet answered.
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			He said, he is my brother.
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			He was a prophet
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:58
			and I am a prophet.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:00
			So adas
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:02
			got up and began to kiss the hands
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:05
			and feet and the head of the prophet
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:07
			salallahu alaihi wa sallam in another narration.
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:08
			And then,
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:11
			when he goes back,
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:12
			they
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:15
			said, why did you do that? Actually, it's
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:17
			funny. Uthba and Sheba, when they were watching
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:18
			that,
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:20
			they go they tell they look at each
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:21
			other and like, look at this. We sent
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:23
			him the boy to give him some grapes,
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:24
			and he corrupted the boy.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:27
			Because from the distance, all they see is
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			in a few moments, just a few exchanges,
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:30
			and now he's
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32
			kissing the hands and feet of the prophet
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:33
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. So
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:36
			they said, why did you do all that?
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:39
			Then Adas says, there is nothing
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			on this earth
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:44
			that is greater than that man Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:44
			Wasallam.
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:47
			He has told me of something that only
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:48
			a Prophet would know.
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:51
			And
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:52
			they tell
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:53
			him,
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:55
			Don't let him take you away from your
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:57
			religion for your religion
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:00
			is better than his. I didn't even know
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:03
			his religion. Anyway, once asked him about it
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			and now they tell him, I'm sure it's
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06
			better than his. Anything but his, that's the
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:08
			point. Then the prophet
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:10
			and Zayd got
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:12
			up and they began to walk back.
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:16
			Now, here's an issue here. We've got this
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:16
			narration.
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:19
			Alright?
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:24
			We're basically now from a Ta'if, so if
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:26
			if you're looking at a map,
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:29
			let me from your vantage point, Mecca is
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:30
			here
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			and Al Ta'if is like here. So it's
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34
			kinda like to the east
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:36
			of, Mecca,
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:39
			but a little bit southeast, but not completely,
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:41
			but just a little bit Kiddah. Alright?
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45
			And and the prophet now is gonna walk
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:47
			back to Mecca. And you imagine,
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:48
			every step
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:52
			hurts. And he's walking and human beings walk
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:53
			at the speed of about
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:55
			6 kilometers per hour.
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			So if you're walking a distance of 60
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:58
			kilometers,
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:01
			that's 10 hours of walking. And if your
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:02
			feet are injured,
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:04
			that could be 11, could be 12 hours
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:06
			of walking or more if you need to
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			rest more. Right?
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:10
			So we've got this issue here. We've have
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:11
			an we have a narration
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:13
			where
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			Okay. Let's just read the narration and then
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:17
			I'll give you
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:20
			3 different explanations for it.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:22
			Aisha Radiallahu Anha,
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:23
			she said,
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:26
			I asked the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:29
			if he had ever experienced
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:30
			a day
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:31
			worse than Uhud.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:33
			And he answered
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:35
			that he,
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:37
			that he had suffered a lot from those
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:39
			people, the ani, the idol worshipers,
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:41
			but the most painful was on the day
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:43
			of Al Aqaba of Aqaba.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			Okay. Wait a minute. So anything strange now?
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:52
			There's something amazing here, but it's all in
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:52
			the details.
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:54
			Something really amazing.
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:56
			Aisha
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58
			automatically assumed
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:00
			that Uhud must have been the most difficult
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:01
			day on the Prophet
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:05
			70 of his companions including his uncle Hamdulillah
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:08
			anhu which he was very saddened over besides
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:09
			the disfiguring and everything.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:13
			And he was injured and he was bleeding
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			for more than one place. So she was
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16
			certain that Uhud
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			was the worst day in his life.
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			But
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:23
			there was a worst day and she never
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:24
			knew it.
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:25
			What's the special thing?
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:28
			He didn't complain.
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:30
			He didn't complain.
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:34
			Ask ask any married man, what's go go
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:35
			to any woman, what's the what's the worst
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:37
			day in your husband's oh, he always talks
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:38
			about this. It was the day this, this,
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:39
			and that happened.
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:42
			What's your wife's favorite day? I mean worst
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:44
			day every day with
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:48
			me. You know you hear about it. You
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:50
			know the worst day. You know about her
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:51
			worst restaurant experience.
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:54
			You know about your husband's worst restaurant experience,
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:56
			worst day at work.
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:57
			Right? The prophet
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:00
			actually had a day worse than Uhud
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:03
			and he never spoke about it. What a
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:03
			great ma'am,
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:05
			never complained.
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:08
			We have to hear it. We gotta rate
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:10
			it on Yelp and thumbs down it and
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:12
			post about it on Facebook.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			They brought the hors d'oeuvres before the appetizer.
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:17
			It was really horrible experience. Really?
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:24
			So look at this narration.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25
			He said
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			that he had suffered a lot from those
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:30
			people, the idol worshipers, but the most the
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:31
			day of Uhud was bad, but the most
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:34
			painful day was on the day of Aqaba.
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:37
			I went seeking support from ibn Abdi Alayl
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:37
			and ibn
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:38
			Khilal
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:40
			but he spurned me
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:44
			and I set out wearied and grieved heedless
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:46
			of anything around me until suddenly I realized
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:48
			I was at
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:54
			or I believe. Yeah? The the
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:55
			because,
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:58
			yeah. He says, there I looked up and
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:00
			I saw a cloud that was casting its
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:04
			shade on me and Jibreel was addressing me.
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:06
			Jibreel alayhi salam said Allah has heard your
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:07
			people's words
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:09
			and sent you the angel of the mountains
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:10
			to your aid.
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:13
			The latter meaning the angel of the mountains
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:14
			called
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:17
			and gave me his salaams and asked for
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:18
			my permission
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:19
			to
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:22
			he
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:24
			said
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:28
			and Utbika alahim al akhshabein.
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:31
			So he says if you if you like
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:31
			I will
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:34
			crush them between the 2 mountains,
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:35
			alright.
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:37
			And then the prophet said,
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:48
			He said, I hope and I expect that
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:51
			Allah will bring from their loins those whom
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:53
			who will worship Allah alone and not associate
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:55
			anyone with him. He's saying, no thank you.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:58
			Because may if they disbelieve maybe from their
		
00:43:58 --> 00:43:59
			offspring there will be people who say la
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:01
			ilaha illallah and do not worship anyone with
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			him. So that's why he rejected.
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:05
			So then what
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:06
			who
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:10
			who who is the what's the offer for?
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			We've got 3 different explanations.
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:14
			One is that
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:17
			as most of the time and most of
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:19
			us have heard that the angel of the
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:22
			mountains came and offered to crush the people
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:23
			of atta'if
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:25
			between the two mountains.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			That's what we mostly hear. Just show of
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:29
			hands who has heard that before.
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:32
			That he was offered to crush the people
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:33
			of attayf. There's no way it's just 5
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:35
			people. No way.
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:37
			That's like this is the predominant,
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:40
			you hear this in every tape and most
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:41
			books will say, yeah he offered to crush
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:43
			the people of Atayf between the two mountains.
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:46
			And the prophet out of his mercy said,
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:47
			no. No thanks.
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:48
			Alright.
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:51
			The the other opinion which is the one
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:53
			I was gonna present today, but today I'm
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:55
			gonna present the third one. Initially this was
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:57
			my position for the longest time or not
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:57
			my
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:00
			position. The position that I follow. Not my
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:02
			position. The one that I follow, just so
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:03
			we're clear.
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:04
			And
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:07
			is that he did not the off the
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:08
			angel of the mountain of the angels
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:12
			the angel of the mountains did not offer
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:15
			to crush the people of between the two
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:15
			mountains.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:18
			He offered to crush the people of Mecca
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:19
			between the two mountains.
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:21
			And there are a lot of arguments for
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:23
			that. A lot of arguments for that.
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:25
			First of all
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:27
			there's some arguments you cannot refute.
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:29
			He said
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:34
			Fold collapse upon them,
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:35
			crush them between
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:39
			Google it right now.
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:40
			Where are Al Akshabayn?
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:43
			There are only 2 mountains on the whole
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:45
			planet that are referred to as Al Akshabayn.
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:48
			Means
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:51
			rough and if you've been you've been to
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			Mecca, Umrah, Hajj and you looked at these
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:56
			mountains and they're so rough right
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:59
			Just not even soft sand just jagged rock
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:00
			not even cacti,
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:04
			not cactus nothing on it just rocks
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:05
			rough mountains.
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:07
			So Al Aqshabein
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:09
			are the 2 rough mountains
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:10
			around Makkah.
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12
			They're the only 2 mountains on the planet
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:14
			called Al akhshabein, Sarrah.
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:16
			They're the only 2 in the world called
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:19
			Al akhshabein. Google it, yahoo it, bing it,
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:21
			whatever you wanna do. You will not find
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:23
			any other 2 mountains. And they're the 2
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:24
			called Al Hashabain.
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:26
			And I see brother Kabir is
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:28
			testing me.
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:29
			I'm just kidding.
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:32
			They are the mountain of Abu Qubais. Why
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:35
			is it called Abu Qubais? Because nobody lived
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:36
			down that mountain. One day a guy by
		
00:46:36 --> 00:46:38
			the name of Abu Qubais, he takes his
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:40
			stuff, he starts building a house there. So
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42
			they naturally refer to it as the mountain
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:44
			of Abu Qubais cause he lives on it.
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:46
			And then the other mountain
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:47
			is
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:49
			known as or used to be known as
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:52
			Jabal Al Quai'il Quran. Al Quai'il Quran.
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:55
			These are the two mountains they're known as
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:56
			Al Aqshamein.
		
00:46:56 --> 00:46:59
			So that's the first reason why the Angel
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:01
			was not offering to crush ata'if between the
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:03
			two mountains, he was offering to crush the
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:05
			Meccans, Mecca between the two mountains because they're
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:07
			the only ones surrounded by the 2 mountains.
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:09
			The second strong point is that a Ta'if
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:12
			is not between 2 mountains and sometimes I
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:14
			will hear people say that. Go into
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:16
			Google Earth or whatever and look at a
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:17
			Ta'if
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:19
			And and maybe some of you visited a
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:21
			Ta'if and everybody knows a Ta'if is an
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:24
			elevated area. It's on top of a mountain.
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:27
			It's not between 2 mountains. There's no way
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:28
			you could tell me it was Ta'if.
		
00:47:31 --> 00:47:32
			So we were saying that,
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:36
			the are the 2 mountains around Mecca.
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:38
			The Ta'if has no mountains around it. It
		
00:47:38 --> 00:47:40
			is on top of a mountain.
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:43
			Then we said, then there are other things,
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:45
			meaning, for number look at this.
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:46
			Ataif
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:48
			the prophet left Ataif.
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:50
			So if we accept this narration,
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:54
			meaning that it's referring to the journey of
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:58
			Alta'if. Is 45
		
00:47:59 --> 00:47:59
			kilometers
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:00
			away
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:02
			from Alta'if.
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04
			So, how long do you take to walk
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:05
			that distance?
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:07
			We're looking at 11:12
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:08
			hours.
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:09
			So,
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:10
			11:12
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:12
			hours later,
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:16
			is the Prophet concerned about the ta'if or
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:17
			is he concerned about Mecca?
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:20
			If he's concerned Okay. He's concerned about Mecca.
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:21
			Why?
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:24
			Because they know that he left the city
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:26
			under their watch and he's trying to give
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:28
			dawah in another city. And they're waiting for
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:29
			him very angrily
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:32
			and he's got no protector. So who is
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:33
			he worried about?
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:34
			Mecca.
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:35
			You want more proof?
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:38
			Zaid says, You Rasool Allah how are we
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:40
			gonna go back into it when you're not
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:42
			welcome there or they kicked you out? So
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:45
			he's worried about Mecca, not the city that
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:48
			11 hours ago. And one is do you
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:49
			ever remember a time the Prophet is holding
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:51
			on to something that happened in the past?
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:54
			Adas came, Prophet ate the grapes, gave him
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56
			dawah, he's never holds on to the past
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:56
			Saharillah.
		
00:48:57 --> 00:48:59
			So what are the odds? 12 hours later
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:00
			the angels gonna come and say, Hey, that
		
00:49:00 --> 00:49:02
			what happened 12 hours ago? I'll crush them
		
00:49:02 --> 00:49:03
			for you.
		
00:49:04 --> 00:49:05
			It was about Mecca.
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:08
			And you might say, Well, wait a minute.
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:11
			How could the angel offer to crush Mecca
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:14
			when the companions and his daughters and his
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:14
			family,
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:15
			they're there?
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:17
			There is no way he would offer that.
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:18
			Yes, there is.
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:21
			Because he's making the offer, that's just the
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			offer. And if he accepted the offer, what
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:25
			do you think would be that would happen?
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:27
			There will be an
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:29
			an extraction plan.
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:33
			Just like when the angels came to Ibrahim
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:35
			alaihis salam, they said we're gonna go destroy
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:36
			the people of,
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:40
			the village of Lut. He said there there's
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:42
			a like a righteous man in it. They
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:43
			said no we'll take him out.
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:45
			So this is the big plan, then this
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:47
			is the extraction plan or
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:50
			whatever the you wanna call it. So
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:53
			he's making the offer to the prophet sallallahu
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:55
			alaihi wa sallam. Because he's not worried about
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:58
			Ta'if, he's worried about Mecca coming up onto
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00
			Mecca. And there are other arguments, There
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:03
			are, like I've got 3 or 4 other
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:03
			arguments
		
00:50:03 --> 00:50:06
			that it's he's talking about Mecca and he's
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:08
			not talking about Al Ta'if.
		
00:50:09 --> 00:50:10
			I mean here there's also,
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:15
			but subhanallah, this was my opinion for or
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:17
			the opinion I followed for a long time.
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:20
			And just today, I found a third opinion
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:21
			that makes more sense to me.
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:23
			First of all,
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:27
			this narration by the way it's Sahib Bukhar
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:30
			in Muslim. This narration never says Mecca nor
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:31
			Ta'if.
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:33
			But people assumed it was talking about Ta'if
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:35
			because he just came out of it. They're
		
00:50:35 --> 00:50:37
			the ones who mistreated him. And the other
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:38
			group analyzed it a bit more
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:40
			geographically and what have you, and they said,
		
00:50:40 --> 00:50:42
			no. No. It can't be about al Taif.
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:42
			It's about Mecca.
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:44
			Alright? And that's what I thought was correct
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:46
			for the longest time. But realistically,
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:48
			there were always issues
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:51
			that kind of stood out to me. Number
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:51
			1,
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:54
			why did the prophet called the day of
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:55
			Atayf the day of Aqaba?
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:57
			That never made sense to
		
00:50:58 --> 00:50:59
			me. And then he says to Aisha,
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:03
			where is it?
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:06
			When he says yeah. Well, actually, he does
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08
			say that to Ashu, but he says,
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:13
			the angel said, Jibril said Allah has heard
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:16
			your people's words, your people's words. And who
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:18
			are his people? The Meccans or Atayf?
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:21
			And if you're gonna argue Atayf for his
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:23
			people, you're gonna have to make a strong
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:25
			case. The Meccans are his people. Quraysh are
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:25
			his people.
		
00:51:26 --> 00:51:27
			So
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:29
			there's a scholar who did a
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:32
			a kind of a study on this. First
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:34
			of all, he said, the day of Aqaba
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:36
			and we know the place of Al Aqaba.
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:38
			You've heard of the first pledge of Al
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:40
			Aqaba. You've heard of the second pledge of
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:40
			Al Aqaba.
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:42
			Why do people think this narration has to
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:43
			do with Alta'if?
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:44
			Because
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:46
			Abdi
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:47
			ibn Abdi Alayl,
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:49
			he's from ata'if.
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:51
			So people would see this narration and think,
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:53
			oh, this is after the day of ata'if.
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:54
			No.
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:57
			He saw this is at Hajj at Mina
		
00:51:57 --> 00:51:59
			at Al Aqaba where the Prophet took the
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:02
			first and second pledge from the Madinians. Later
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:05
			on, he was there calling the different groups
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:08
			to Islam and they all rejected him. And
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:11
			so he left that area feeling worried and
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:12
			concerned and grieved
		
00:52:12 --> 00:52:14
			and he was not aware until he found
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:16
			himself at Qarn al Manazil
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:17
			which is
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:20
			3 kilometers away. Does that make more sense?
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:23
			That he was at Mina and then he
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:25
			was just not thinking and he's so concerned
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:27
			that he didn't even realize he was at
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:29
			Khanal Al Marazoo which is 3 kilometers away?
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:30
			That makes sense.
		
00:52:31 --> 00:52:34
			And then, yeah, his people not the ta'if,
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:36
			they're not his people. And then what's another
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:36
			piece?
		
00:52:37 --> 00:52:38
			Look,
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:40
			he says, I noticed a cloud
		
00:52:41 --> 00:52:43
			that was giving me shade. Which means what
		
00:52:43 --> 00:52:45
			time of the day of the day was
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:45
			it?
		
00:52:48 --> 00:52:49
			Allah, what time of day was it if
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:51
			the sun is and if he clouds Bilal
		
00:52:51 --> 00:52:52
			shading you,
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:55
			the sun was out. But wait a minute
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:56
			when did he leave a Taif?
		
00:52:57 --> 00:52:59
			Be as creative as you want. Yeah and
		
00:52:59 --> 00:52:59
			he
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:01
			he at least prayed fajr and left a
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:03
			Taif. Let's just go. He left right after
		
00:53:03 --> 00:53:05
			fajr which I find it to be unlikely
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:07
			that all the people came out and they
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:09
			lined up and stuff. They probably left at
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:12
			midday or or 10 or 11 o'clock later
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:15
			in the in the in the morning. But
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:16
			for the sake of argument let's say he
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:19
			prayed fajr and he left Taif immediately.
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:20
			And then he went and rested in the
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:22
			vineyard. Then he got up and walked 12
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:26
			hours with rest and everything after resting at
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:28
			the the vineyard and made it toqaral almanazil.
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:30
			What sun?
		
00:53:31 --> 00:53:34
			There will still be sun and shade?
		
00:53:35 --> 00:53:36
			There wouldn't be.
		
00:53:36 --> 00:53:38
			Taban, feel free to disagree.
		
00:53:38 --> 00:53:40
			Like I always say, I'm okay with people
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:41
			being wrong.
		
00:53:42 --> 00:53:44
			I'm kidding. But the point is that, yani
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:47
			this is going against something we've been hearing
		
00:53:47 --> 00:53:48
			for many years so it's hard to swallow
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:50
			in the beginning. But this makes a lot
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:51
			of sense.
		
00:53:51 --> 00:53:53
			Makes a lot of sense. Why would the
		
00:53:53 --> 00:53:54
			sun still be up?
		
00:53:55 --> 00:53:57
			Like a 13, 14 hours of of traveling.
		
00:53:57 --> 00:53:58
			Even if he left at Fajr there would
		
00:53:58 --> 00:54:00
			be no sun. It makes a lot of
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:02
			sense that this was on the day of
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:04
			Al Aqaba and the Prophet called it the
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:06
			day of Al Aqaba which is at Mina
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:07
			which is only 3 kilometers away from Khan
		
00:54:07 --> 00:54:10
			al Thalib which makes sense that he suddenly
		
00:54:10 --> 00:54:12
			found himself there and it was still daytime.
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:14
			The only reason we think it's about at
		
00:54:14 --> 00:54:16
			Ta'if or after at Ta'if is because of
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:18
			ibn Abdi alayh because he's from Ta'if so
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:20
			we thought oh for sure this is after
		
00:54:20 --> 00:54:20
			the day of Ata'if.
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:27
			Taif. And there are many seerah books that
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:29
			mention that the angel offered to crush the
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:33
			people of ata'al, Mecca between the mountains, and
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:34
			some here and there that mention
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:37
			either way feel free, I need to
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:40
			to take whichever opinion you like.
		
00:54:40 --> 00:54:43
			But the point is that the Prophet
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:45
			now is heading back into Mecca, and let
		
00:54:45 --> 00:54:47
			me try to wrap up before the salah,
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:49
			and Zayd Radhala Anhu says
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:51
			how are we going to enter a mikkah?
		
00:54:51 --> 00:54:53
			That's their concern, mikkah not a paifah it's
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:55
			in the rearview mirror from 12 hours ago
		
00:54:55 --> 00:54:57
			half a day ago. He said, how are
		
00:54:57 --> 00:54:59
			we gonna enter it and now that they've
		
00:54:59 --> 00:55:01
			sent you out? You're not welcome to go
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:03
			back, and they're all angrily awaiting you.
		
00:55:05 --> 00:55:07
			So the Prophet said, and listen to the
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:10
			certainty in his voice salallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:55:10 --> 00:55:10
			He said,
		
00:55:25 --> 00:55:25
			That
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:27
			Allah
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:29
			is going to give
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:32
			an ease and a way out for what
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:33
			you see here, for our situation.
		
00:55:34 --> 00:55:36
			And indeed Allah is going to give victory
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:38
			to his religion and He's going to give
		
00:55:38 --> 00:55:39
			victory
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:40
			to his Prophet.
		
00:55:40 --> 00:55:41
			So the words of the Prophet salallahu alayhi
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:43
			wa sallam, do you feel the confidence in
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:44
			them or not?
		
00:55:45 --> 00:55:47
			Absolutely, right? Very confident.
		
00:55:48 --> 00:55:49
			He's telling him Allah is gonna find us
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:51
			a way out and He's gonna make his
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:53
			religion victorious and He's gonna make his prophet
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:54
			victorious.
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:57
			But despite all that, despite the confidence he's
		
00:55:57 --> 00:56:00
			teaching us you still have to seek out
		
00:56:00 --> 00:56:01
			the means.
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:03
			And so the prophet knows that he needs
		
00:56:03 --> 00:56:05
			to be under the protection of someone. And
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:08
			there are narrations that after Abu Talib died
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:09
			he was under the protection of Abu Lahab
		
00:56:09 --> 00:56:11
			which is now the next guy in charge
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:14
			of Bani Hashim. But it didn't work out,
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:15
			it just lasted a few days and that
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:17
			was it. And how do you how long
		
00:56:17 --> 00:56:18
			do you think Abu Lah will give him
		
00:56:18 --> 00:56:20
			protection? So now the prophet has to go
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:22
			and get under the protection of someone, take
		
00:56:23 --> 00:56:24
			advantage of the ijara
		
00:56:24 --> 00:56:27
			laws the juwar where you're under someone's protection
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:30
			and it cannot be a Muslim because if
		
00:56:30 --> 00:56:32
			it's a Muslim it becomes us against them
		
00:56:32 --> 00:56:34
			So it has to be one of the
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:34
			mushrikeen.
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:35
			So the prophet
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:36
			goes
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:38
			first he contacts
		
00:56:38 --> 00:56:39
			Al Ahnath
		
00:56:39 --> 00:56:40
			ibn Shuraik.
		
00:56:40 --> 00:56:43
			And Ahnath ibn Shuraik makes an excuse. He
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:44
			gives him some kind of lame excuse why
		
00:56:44 --> 00:56:46
			he won't do it. So then he goes
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:49
			to Sahib na Amr. And Sahib Nambra gives
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:50
			him a very
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:51
			a
		
00:56:52 --> 00:56:54
			very weird and invalid excuse.
		
00:56:54 --> 00:56:55
			He says
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:58
			basically saying I would love to offer you
		
00:56:58 --> 00:57:00
			the protection but you know the rules.
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:01
			Bani Aamer
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:04
			cannot give protection to Bani Kabud Nulay. The
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:06
			Prophet Bani Kabud Nula'i. He said we know
		
00:57:06 --> 00:57:08
			Bani Amr can't do that. There was no
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:09
			such rule whatsoever. He just made it up
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:10
			right then and there.
		
00:57:11 --> 00:57:12
			But the prophet sallam
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:14
			understood it as a no
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:16
			and went away.
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:17
			You see?
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:21
			He got immediately salaam
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:24
			that the guy is essentially saying no. He
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:26
			didn't say what? Where is this? And I
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:28
			read the bylaws and there's no such rule
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:30
			and actually Bani Amr can give protection to
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:32
			Bani Ka'bib Nuhllah. He didn't do that. He
		
00:57:32 --> 00:57:34
			understood the man saying no.
		
00:57:34 --> 00:57:36
			Okay? And sometimes we need to be able
		
00:57:36 --> 00:57:38
			in our life, fiyani, to benefit from the
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:40
			seerah, to be able to take a hint.
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:41
			Yeah?
		
00:57:41 --> 00:57:42
			Your
		
00:57:42 --> 00:57:44
			friend you ask someone, can you give me
		
00:57:44 --> 00:57:45
			a ride to the airport on Tuesday?
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:47
			The guy says,
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:49
			oh, I can't. My car overheats.
		
00:57:50 --> 00:57:51
			Halas, he's saying
		
00:57:52 --> 00:57:54
			no. Don't Maybe it does overheat, maybe it
		
00:57:54 --> 00:57:55
			doesn't like you.
		
00:57:55 --> 00:57:57
			But don't try to offer solutions. Oh, no,
		
00:57:57 --> 00:57:59
			I have like 5 or 7 jugs, we
		
00:57:59 --> 00:58:01
			will have cool water and we will stop
		
00:58:01 --> 00:58:03
			every and add water to the radiator.
		
00:58:04 --> 00:58:05
			He didn't ask you for that.
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:07
			He's just saying no.
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:10
			Let's get it. Don't oh, no. But we
		
00:58:10 --> 00:58:12
			can fix it. Sometimes you say no to
		
00:58:12 --> 00:58:14
			people. Why? Wait. I thought we can do
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:16
			I have got duct tape.
		
00:58:18 --> 00:58:19
			Alright, people.
		
00:58:20 --> 00:58:22
			Then he goes to he sent to Al
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:23
			Mutaim ibn Adi,
		
00:58:23 --> 00:58:25
			one of the leaders of Mecca. But there's
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:28
			something about this name. The boycott against Bani
		
00:58:28 --> 00:58:29
			Hashim,
		
00:58:30 --> 00:58:31
			he is one of 3 people who ended
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:32
			the boycott.
		
00:58:33 --> 00:58:34
			So it makes sense to go to this
		
00:58:34 --> 00:58:37
			guy because this is a a man that
		
00:58:37 --> 00:58:37
			has,
		
00:58:38 --> 00:58:39
			nahama o neshwa'u.
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:40
			He has,
		
00:58:41 --> 00:58:43
			you know? He's got those values and he
		
00:58:43 --> 00:58:45
			doesn't like injustice. He's one of the ones
		
00:58:45 --> 00:58:47
			who ended the boycott and he's not Muslim.
		
00:58:47 --> 00:58:48
			Do you think there's a chance he might
		
00:58:48 --> 00:58:50
			accept? Yeah. There's a chance he might accept.
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:53
			Why would he accept? He's not Muslim. Yeah.
		
00:58:53 --> 00:58:55
			It could be a chance him to flex
		
00:58:55 --> 00:58:56
			flex his muscle,
		
00:58:56 --> 00:58:58
			to assert his place in leadership,
		
00:58:59 --> 00:58:59
			you know.
		
00:59:00 --> 00:59:02
			So he accepted and he ordered his family
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:04
			and his children and his his people to
		
00:59:04 --> 00:59:07
			put on full armor and bring all their
		
00:59:07 --> 00:59:09
			weapons and they all marched with the Prophet
		
00:59:09 --> 00:59:12
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam until they got to the
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:14
			Kaaba, then they stood in different corners of
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:14
			the Kaaba.
		
00:59:15 --> 00:59:17
			And I want you to imagine this scene.
		
00:59:18 --> 00:59:19
			And the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam comes,
		
00:59:20 --> 00:59:21
			what is the first thing he does?
		
00:59:22 --> 00:59:23
			He prays
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:25
			2 rakat at the Kaaba.
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:28
			He would always go to the Masjid first
		
00:59:28 --> 00:59:30
			after a journey. But there's something very significant
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:31
			about these 2 raka'at.
		
00:59:32 --> 00:59:34
			It's telling all these people who heard of
		
00:59:34 --> 00:59:36
			what happened in Ata'if and Ata'if was not
		
00:59:36 --> 00:59:39
			successful and the Prophet was you know, they
		
00:59:39 --> 00:59:41
			threw rocks at him and he was injured,
		
00:59:42 --> 00:59:44
			but he's telling them,
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:47
			I am still a prophet of Allah. I
		
00:59:47 --> 00:59:50
			am still upon this religion and still upon
		
00:59:50 --> 00:59:52
			this da'wah. And that's and they got that
		
00:59:52 --> 00:59:54
			message just from seeing him pray the 2
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:55
			rakaat.
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:57
			And then Amut Al Mu'addi stood up and
		
00:59:57 --> 00:59:59
			he said that he's offering that Muhammad salawas
		
00:59:59 --> 01:00:00
			alayhi wa sallam is under his protection that
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:02
			anyone who touches him it's like you touch
		
01:00:02 --> 01:00:05
			me and then they escorted him with their
		
01:00:05 --> 01:00:05
			soldiers
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:08
			all the way to his house. And what's
		
01:00:08 --> 01:00:10
			beautiful, we're done with this story but what's
		
01:00:10 --> 01:00:11
			beautiful is
		
01:00:12 --> 01:00:15
			immediately afterwards and when the hajj delegations come
		
01:00:15 --> 01:00:18
			to Makkah, the Prophet starts to try to
		
01:00:18 --> 01:00:21
			find a place to go. Why? Because he's
		
01:00:21 --> 01:00:22
			smart enough salaam alayhi wa sallam to know
		
01:00:22 --> 01:00:24
			that how long will a mushrik give me
		
01:00:24 --> 01:00:27
			protection? And as they start to put pressure
		
01:00:27 --> 01:00:28
			on him, how long can he withstand that
		
01:00:28 --> 01:00:30
			pressure? So he knows it's not gonna last
		
01:00:30 --> 01:00:33
			long so he has to find another solution
		
01:00:33 --> 01:00:35
			and hajj brings all the people from all
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:37
			instead of traveling to them they're all there
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:39
			in one spot, and the pro Muslim actively
		
01:00:39 --> 01:00:41
			starts going out to different groups
		
01:00:41 --> 01:00:42
			to see
		
01:00:42 --> 01:00:45
			who would take him and the believers
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:45
			in
		
01:00:46 --> 01:00:47
			into their city.
		
01:00:48 --> 01:00:49
			So we'll stop here, there are a number
		
01:00:49 --> 01:00:51
			of interesting things,
		
01:00:52 --> 01:00:53
			maybe after Eishah I could tell you one
		
01:00:53 --> 01:00:55
			interesting thing, but basically
		
01:00:55 --> 01:00:57
			there are many many lessons from the story
		
01:00:57 --> 01:00:59
			of Ata'if. I've got 3 minutes. Let me
		
01:00:59 --> 01:01:01
			fire off as many as I can. We
		
01:01:01 --> 01:01:04
			said there was well, first we saw at
		
01:01:04 --> 01:01:07
			least 4 or 5 different wisdoms in choosing
		
01:01:07 --> 01:01:08
			a ta'if. It wasn't just luck or that's
		
01:01:08 --> 01:01:10
			just close by let's just go there. It
		
01:01:10 --> 01:01:13
			was strategically a good place to go. We
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:13
			see
		
01:01:15 --> 01:01:18
			that the Prophet did not carry his losses.
		
01:01:18 --> 01:01:20
			He was injured, he was fatigued and tired
		
01:01:20 --> 01:01:21
			but he gave dawah to adas. He moved
		
01:01:21 --> 01:01:22
			on immediately,
		
01:01:22 --> 01:01:24
			didn't carry his losses.
		
01:01:24 --> 01:01:25
			We see that Allah
		
01:01:25 --> 01:01:27
			test those that he loves the most.
		
01:01:28 --> 01:01:30
			We see that the Prophet went to the
		
01:01:30 --> 01:01:32
			nobles first and didn't just start giving dua
		
01:01:32 --> 01:01:34
			in the streets but he went to the
		
01:01:34 --> 01:01:35
			people in charge.
		
01:01:35 --> 01:01:36
			And,
		
01:01:36 --> 01:01:39
			we get a practical example of ease coming
		
01:01:39 --> 01:01:41
			after hardship, a practical example of
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:44
			the patience of the Prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam
		
01:01:44 --> 01:01:48
			and not retaliating against people, not retaliating against
		
01:01:48 --> 01:01:50
			the Quraysh or the people of Ata'if or
		
01:01:50 --> 01:01:52
			later on against the Meccans or later on
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:53
			against the people of Ata'if
		
01:01:54 --> 01:01:56
			and you see that you can expect well
		
01:01:56 --> 01:01:58
			of people. The sons of Rabia, they were
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:00
			at the peak of their animosity with the
		
01:02:00 --> 01:02:02
			Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam but
		
01:02:03 --> 01:02:06
			they still felt their heart softened towards him.
		
01:02:06 --> 01:02:08
			So you can still expect good out of
		
01:02:08 --> 01:02:10
			people and sometimes you can expect good,
		
01:02:10 --> 01:02:12
			out of the enemy as well. Again, I
		
01:02:12 --> 01:02:14
			think this more applies to the old days.
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:16
			You know, the hadith of the best generations.
		
01:02:16 --> 01:02:18
			The scholars said this hadith
		
01:02:18 --> 01:02:20
			is saying that even the kuffar at the
		
01:02:20 --> 01:02:22
			time of the were better than the the
		
01:02:22 --> 01:02:22
			kuffar
		
01:02:23 --> 01:02:24
			today. Anyways,
		
01:02:26 --> 01:02:28
			we see that Atayf was genuine.
		
01:02:28 --> 01:02:30
			Atayf was a genuine city because it later
		
01:02:30 --> 01:02:32
			came to Islam through what?
		
01:02:33 --> 01:02:34
			By themselves.
		
01:02:34 --> 01:02:36
			No warfare. Nothing.
		
01:02:36 --> 01:02:38
			We see the forbearance if you take the
		
01:02:38 --> 01:02:40
			narration of the mountain, the angel of the
		
01:02:40 --> 01:02:42
			mountains, you see the forbearance and forgiveness of
		
01:02:42 --> 01:02:43
			the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
01:02:44 --> 01:02:46
			We see that this is a genuine prophet
		
01:02:47 --> 01:02:49
			Because if this is one of the more
		
01:02:49 --> 01:02:50
			difficult times in his life,
		
01:02:51 --> 01:02:53
			this is when the impostor would have quit.
		
01:02:53 --> 01:02:54
			True or false?
		
01:02:54 --> 01:02:55
			This is when the impostor would come and
		
01:02:55 --> 01:02:57
			say, listen you guys.
		
01:02:59 --> 01:03:01
			We're done with this. Let's be buddies again.
		
01:03:02 --> 01:03:02
			Right?
		
01:03:04 --> 01:03:06
			The jinn became Muslim. I skipped that part
		
01:03:06 --> 01:03:06
			of the story.
		
01:03:07 --> 01:03:09
			So two great things happened. Number 1, Adas
		
01:03:09 --> 01:03:10
			became Muslim.
		
01:03:14 --> 01:03:17
			If Allah guides 1 person through you, it's
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:18
			better for you than the best of wealth.
		
01:03:18 --> 01:03:20
			1 person became Muslim that trip was worth
		
01:03:20 --> 01:03:21
			it. But then
		
01:03:22 --> 01:03:24
			millions of jinn from that time until today
		
01:03:25 --> 01:03:26
			are upon Islam
		
01:03:26 --> 01:03:28
			because on the way back the jinn became
		
01:03:28 --> 01:03:29
			Muslim.
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:32
			We see that the Prophet had a busy,
		
01:03:32 --> 01:03:34
			he had a household, he had mouths to
		
01:03:34 --> 01:03:36
			feed, he had daughters that were young,
		
01:03:36 --> 01:03:37
			but the du'at
		
01:03:38 --> 01:03:40
			forced time for dua. And the du'at aren't
		
01:03:40 --> 01:03:42
			the ones that have free time so like
		
01:03:42 --> 01:03:44
			let's just give dua. They force time, they're
		
01:03:44 --> 01:03:46
			busy, they have work, they have a family,
		
01:03:47 --> 01:03:49
			they have things to do, but they force
		
01:03:49 --> 01:03:51
			time for dawah. And the scholars said from
		
01:03:51 --> 01:03:53
			the story of Ata'if, Rasulullah
		
01:03:53 --> 01:03:55
			is forced time for 10 days to go
		
01:03:55 --> 01:03:56
			stay in Ata'if.
		
01:03:57 --> 01:03:59
			And then running through it quickly,
		
01:04:02 --> 01:04:03
			the Prophet knew he was going to be
		
01:04:03 --> 01:04:04
			victorious,
		
01:04:04 --> 01:04:05
			but he still
		
01:04:06 --> 01:04:07
			thought sought
		
01:04:07 --> 01:04:09
			the means, al isbaab and he still went
		
01:04:09 --> 01:04:11
			and got the protection. He didn't just walk
		
01:04:11 --> 01:04:14
			into Makkah, you know, and sometimes you find
		
01:04:14 --> 01:04:16
			Muslims like they don't take the they're just
		
01:04:16 --> 01:04:18
			the khalas Allah is with us lahabe.
		
01:04:18 --> 01:04:20
			The prophet was careful and he was cautious
		
01:04:20 --> 01:04:22
			and he took precautions.
		
01:04:23 --> 01:04:25
			I don't have any evidence for this,
		
01:04:25 --> 01:04:27
			but you tell me if it's reasonable.
		
01:04:27 --> 01:04:28
			Do you think maybe
		
01:04:29 --> 01:04:30
			when
		
01:04:30 --> 01:04:32
			Islam came to a Ta'if later on,
		
01:04:33 --> 01:04:35
			that maybe some of those youth who threw
		
01:04:35 --> 01:04:36
			rocks at the Prophet
		
01:04:37 --> 01:04:39
			that made them feel more guilty at that
		
01:04:39 --> 01:04:39
			time
		
01:04:40 --> 01:04:42
			and it led them to become Muslim faster
		
01:04:42 --> 01:04:43
			because of the guilt.
		
01:04:44 --> 01:04:46
			It's I don't have proof, but is it
		
01:04:46 --> 01:04:47
			possible, is on? I'm asking.
		
01:04:48 --> 01:04:49
			It's possible.
		
01:04:51 --> 01:04:54
			Prophet took advantage of the non Muslim laws
		
01:04:54 --> 01:04:56
			of the ijara, the protection, and he got
		
01:04:56 --> 01:04:58
			to protection. It was today, people like, oh,
		
01:04:58 --> 01:05:00
			this is non Muslim law.
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:02
			Does it agree with the principles of Islam?
		
01:05:03 --> 01:05:06
			Yeah. If it does, then what's your issue?
		
01:05:06 --> 01:05:07
			It's not in the Quran. It has to
		
01:05:07 --> 01:05:08
			be in the Quran?
		
01:05:10 --> 01:05:11
			Traffic loads in the Quran?
		
01:05:12 --> 01:05:14
			Anything wrong with stopping at a red light?
		
01:05:14 --> 01:05:15
			I think it makes a lot of sense
		
01:05:15 --> 01:05:16
			to stop at a red light.
		
01:05:17 --> 01:05:17
			Right?
		
01:05:18 --> 01:05:20
			Prophet didn't hide his Islam when he said
		
01:05:20 --> 01:05:21
			Bismillah.
		
01:05:25 --> 01:05:27
			Du'a du'a is a tool and being used
		
01:05:27 --> 01:05:28
			in dua
		
01:05:28 --> 01:05:31
			and du'a being used immediately not later or
		
01:05:31 --> 01:05:34
			the idea of turning to Allah Azzawal quickly.
		
01:05:35 --> 01:05:37
			The humility of the prophet accepting the grapes
		
01:05:37 --> 01:05:39
			and even resting under the shade of those
		
01:05:39 --> 01:05:40
			people that were his enemies.
		
01:05:42 --> 01:05:44
			What if if you accept the narration? I
		
01:05:44 --> 01:05:46
			got some of these old points when they're
		
01:05:46 --> 01:05:47
			all based on the narration of
		
01:05:48 --> 01:05:51
			you know. But if you accepted that narration,
		
01:05:51 --> 01:05:53
			if the prophet destroyed
		
01:05:54 --> 01:05:54
			Mecca
		
01:05:55 --> 01:05:56
			between the two mountains,
		
01:05:57 --> 01:05:58
			would that
		
01:05:58 --> 01:06:00
			What kind of effect would that have on
		
01:06:00 --> 01:06:01
			the other cities?
		
01:06:01 --> 01:06:04
			And maybe they would become Muslim just to
		
01:06:04 --> 01:06:05
			not be destroyed.
		
01:06:05 --> 01:06:07
			And then how genuine would their Islam be?
		
01:06:08 --> 01:06:09
			I got you.
		
01:06:10 --> 01:06:10
			3 minutes,
		
01:06:11 --> 01:06:13
			I'm gonna pull a sheikhwaleed on you guys,
		
01:06:13 --> 01:06:13
			okay?
		
01:06:17 --> 01:06:19
			That was actually the last point.
		
01:06:22 --> 01:06:24
			Putting your trust in Allah,
		
01:06:26 --> 01:06:27
			taking the hint.
		
01:06:28 --> 01:06:29
			So I've got about
		
01:06:31 --> 01:06:33
			28, 29 different
		
01:06:33 --> 01:06:34
			lessons just from
		
01:06:35 --> 01:06:37
			the journey of Ata'if.
		
01:06:37 --> 01:06:40
			Got another like 12 different lessons from why
		
01:06:40 --> 01:06:42
			Abu Talib died a non Muslim. There's got
		
01:06:42 --> 01:06:44
			to be some benefit. Why would Allah allow
		
01:06:44 --> 01:06:46
			that? There's got to be some benefits. The
		
01:06:46 --> 01:06:48
			seerah is loaded with benefits. You just have
		
01:06:48 --> 01:06:50
			to look at it in detail.
		
01:06:51 --> 01:06:52
			For listening attentively
		
01:06:52 --> 01:06:53
			and for coming.
