As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
I wanted to do a quick video about
the last five minutes of Shia Muslimah.
So right here is Jabal al-Rum, which
is known as the Mountain of the Archers.
The Prophet ﷺ had an army of a
thousand against an army of three thousand.
Three hundred of that one thousand turned away
the rousing of the hypocrites.
So he was left with seven hundred.
He stationed fifty of those seven hundred here
on this mountain, and he told them do
not leave your spots no matter what you
see, whether it's clear victory or clear defeat.
They were stationed under a man who was
known to be very obedient of the Prophet
ﷺ, Abdullah ibn Jubair radiAllahu ta'ala anhu.
And so when the battle took place and
it seemed like victory had already been attained,
forty of the fifty came running down from
this mountain to collect the spoils.
Abdullah ibn Jubair radiAllahu anhu and ten of
the companions stayed on the mountain and they
were eventually martyred.
On this side you have Uhud.
This is just the tip of Uhud.
Uhud spans the entirety of where I'm showing
you with this camera.
Uhud spans the, basically encircles the entire area
of the battlefield.
Now subhanAllah some of the scholars say Badr
is where they learned La ilaha illallah, or
truly lived it in the most pure of
ways and here's where they learned Muhammadan Rasulallah.
When the battle seemed to be over and
the Muslims attained victory, Khalid radiAllahu anhu at
that time was not Muslim, took his army
around Uhud and because the archers had come
down, was able to ambush the Muslims here
in the battlefield.
And in the process of that, you had
seventy or so of the companions fall.
In this, sixty-five of them were unsullied
who did not flee from the Prophets which
shows you the spirit of the unsullied and
the love that they had for the Messenger
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam.
The Prophets was attacked from every direction a
man by the name of Ibn Qami'ah
was the one who really made the most
ambitious attempt on the Messenger salAllahu alayhi wa
sallam.
Mus'ab radiAllahu ta'ala anhu Mus'ab
ibn Umayr radiAllahu anhu brought Islam to Medina
at the order of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi
wa sallam.
Mus'ab radiAllahu anhu looked like the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam so he created some
commotion and he attracted the army to him
to attract attention away from the Prophet salAllahu
alayhi wa sallam and Ibn Qami'ah killed
him.
Mus'ab radiAllahu ta'ala anhu fell on
that day and SubhanAllah he came here with
the message of Islam and he died for
Islam here in this very spot.
Hamza radiAllahu anhu, the uncle of the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam was pursued by Wahshi
with a spear and he fell radiAllahu ta
'ala anhu as well.
Abdullah ibn Jahsh radiAllahu anhu the first Amir
in Islam who made migration to Abyssinia and
then came to Medina.
Abdullah ibn Jahsh radiAllahu ta'ala anhu was
also the brother-in-law of the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam later on the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam married Zainab ibn Jahsh
and he was the brother-in-law of
Mus'ab ibn Umair radiAllahu ta'ala anhu
was married to Hamna ibn Jahsh Abdullah ibn
Jahsh radiAllahu ta'ala anhu also falls here
in the battlefield.
So Mus'ab, Hamza and Abdullah ibn Jahsh
fell and they are buried in this first
grave over here.
The rest of the shuhada they were people
that came to the aid of the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam.
Some of them SubhanAllah were like shuhada that
they did not die like Talha radiAllahu anhu
Talha ibn Ubaidillah who literally was catching spears
and whose hand was paralyzed and suffered all
sorts of wounds on his body and was
known as the walking martyr radiAllahu ta'ala
anhu and you had also Nusaybah radiAllahu anha
bint Ka'b who was trying to defend
the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam Nusaybah ibn
Umair and the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam
looked in every direction on the day of
Uhud and I saw Nusaybah radiAllahu anha and
she was struck so harshly by Ibn Qami
'ah on her shoulder that it took her
a year to recover as well as the
multiple wounds on her body you had Yazid
ibn Sakin radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, Sa'ad
ibn al-Rabi' radiAllahu anhu, Amr ibn al
-Jamuh radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, who the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam, you know, he was
known to have a limp and the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam said I saw him
in Jannah and he had no limp you
had Hanbalah radiAllahu anhu ghaseel al-mala'ika
who was bathed by the angels he is
buried here as well all these people who
ran to the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam,
Anas ibn Malik's uncle radiAllahu anhu, Anas ibn
Nadir radiAllahu anhu, who ran towards the battlefield
and he said I can smell the smell
of Jannah and he fell here as well,
radiAllahu ta'ala anhu so in this first
grave you have Mus'ab Hamza and Abdullah
ibn Jahsh and then the grave that is
further away, you have the rest of the
shahada, the Prophet's son, buried them two by
two in accordance with their hifth of the
Quran, how much of the Quran they memorized,
they were buried first, up until the last
of them, but they are all some of
the most noble people min al-mu'mineen ar
-rijalun sadaqu ma'ahad from the believers of
those who were truthful, the promise that they
made with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, few
other notes about Uhud number one, the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam made it a sunnah
to come and visit the shahada of Uhud
and make dua for them his last trip
outside of Madinah before he passed away was
to come to Uhud as he would and
to seek forgiveness for him, these people who
died protecting him salAllahu alayhi wa sallam in
the process, protecting Islam and then he visited
al-Baqir and then the Prophet salAllahu alayhi
wa sallam obviously spent the rest of his
days in his home until he passed away,
when the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam was
here and they took him up to Uhud
you know, to take him away from the
hardship of that day, the Prophet salAllahu alayhi
wa sallam was making the dua, even as
they had taken out his teeth, even as
they had driven the armor into his face
and struck him and tried to kill him
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam, almost succeeded he was
still saying Oh Allah forgive my people they
don't know any better and subhanAllah he had
in his midst already some of the most
incredible companions, Abu Ubaidah the Amin of this
Ummah who literally pulled with his teeth the
helmet of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam
out of his face and had a lisp
for the rest of his life because of
that and Abu Bakr and Umar may Allah
be pleased with them who were with the
Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam Abu Sufyan called
out to them as they retreated into Uhud
and he said, a day for a day
and the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam said
to Umar salAllahu alayhi wa sallam to answer
that our dead are in Paradise and your
dead are in the Hellfire and then he
said may Hubal be elevated and the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam said Allahu ajal Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala is greater and higher
and Allahu Mawlana Allah is our protector and
you have no protector still the Prophet salAllahu
alayhi wa sallam and some of them went
on to become Muslims who would in fact
spread the message of Islam throughout the world
because of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam's
hope for them this is the place that
brothers and sisters where subhanAllah they literally are
as Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says people
who are truthful to the covenant they took
with Allah and when we come to Medina
and we enjoy its blessings they enjoy the
blessings of the afterlife because they set the
stage these fresh shuhada are the ones who
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed in the
verses of surah Ali Imran about do not
say of those who have been killed in
the way of Allah that they are dead,
rather they are alive with their Lord rejoicing
and being sustained they are pleased with Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala has granted them of
his bounty for those who come after them
they have no fear nor shall they grieve
so the sahaba who were crying over those
that they had lost and every house in
Medina was struck they knew that their loved
ones whose bodies are buried right in front
of me are now in gardens with Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala and the bodies of
green birds nestled in chandeliers from the throne
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the
sayyid of them the master of them is
the one about whom the prophet the most
was seen weeping in a way that he
had never seen weeping before and that was
Sayyid al shuhada Hamza radiallahu anhu the leader
of all shuhada Hamza radiallahu ta'ala anhu
may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be pleased
with them may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
reward them for their sacrifices may Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala join us with them in
the gardens of Al Firdos in the gardens
of Al Firdos
