			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			I wanted to do a quick video about
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			the last five minutes of Shia Muslimah.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			So right here is Jabal al-Rum, which
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			is known as the Mountain of the Archers.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			The Prophet ﷺ had an army of a
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			thousand against an army of three thousand.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			Three hundred of that one thousand turned away
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			the rousing of the hypocrites.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			So he was left with seven hundred.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			He stationed fifty of those seven hundred here
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			on this mountain, and he told them do
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			not leave your spots no matter what you
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			see, whether it's clear victory or clear defeat.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			They were stationed under a man who was
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			known to be very obedient of the Prophet
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			ﷺ, Abdullah ibn Jubair radiAllahu ta'ala anhu.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			And so when the battle took place and
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			it seemed like victory had already been attained,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			forty of the fifty came running down from
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			this mountain to collect the spoils.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			Abdullah ibn Jubair radiAllahu anhu and ten of
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			the companions stayed on the mountain and they
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:01
			were eventually martyred.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			On this side you have Uhud.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			This is just the tip of Uhud.
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			Uhud spans the entirety of where I'm showing
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			you with this camera.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			Uhud spans the, basically encircles the entire area
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			of the battlefield.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			Now subhanAllah some of the scholars say Badr
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			is where they learned La ilaha illallah, or
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			truly lived it in the most pure of
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			ways and here's where they learned Muhammadan Rasulallah.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			When the battle seemed to be over and
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			the Muslims attained victory, Khalid radiAllahu anhu at
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			that time was not Muslim, took his army
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			around Uhud and because the archers had come
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			down, was able to ambush the Muslims here
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:46
			in the battlefield.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			And in the process of that, you had
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			seventy or so of the companions fall.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			In this, sixty-five of them were unsullied
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			who did not flee from the Prophets which
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			shows you the spirit of the unsullied and
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			the love that they had for the Messenger
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			salAllahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			The Prophets was attacked from every direction a
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			man by the name of Ibn Qami'ah
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			was the one who really made the most
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			ambitious attempt on the Messenger salAllahu alayhi wa
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:15
			sallam.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			Mus'ab radiAllahu ta'ala anhu Mus'ab
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:22
			ibn Umayr radiAllahu anhu brought Islam to Medina
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			at the order of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:24
			wa sallam.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			Mus'ab radiAllahu anhu looked like the Prophet
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			salAllahu alayhi wa sallam so he created some
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			commotion and he attracted the army to him
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			to attract attention away from the Prophet salAllahu
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			alayhi wa sallam and Ibn Qami'ah killed
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:38
			him.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			Mus'ab radiAllahu ta'ala anhu fell on
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:48
			that day and SubhanAllah he came here with
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			the message of Islam and he died for
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			Islam here in this very spot.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			Hamza radiAllahu anhu, the uncle of the Prophet
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:57
			salAllahu alayhi wa sallam was pursued by Wahshi
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			with a spear and he fell radiAllahu ta
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:01
			'ala anhu as well.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			Abdullah ibn Jahsh radiAllahu anhu the first Amir
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			in Islam who made migration to Abyssinia and
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			then came to Medina.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			Abdullah ibn Jahsh radiAllahu ta'ala anhu was
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			also the brother-in-law of the Prophet
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			salAllahu alayhi wa sallam later on the Prophet
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			salAllahu alayhi wa sallam married Zainab ibn Jahsh
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			and he was the brother-in-law of
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			Mus'ab ibn Umair radiAllahu ta'ala anhu
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			was married to Hamna ibn Jahsh Abdullah ibn
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			Jahsh radiAllahu ta'ala anhu also falls here
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:28
			in the battlefield.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			So Mus'ab, Hamza and Abdullah ibn Jahsh
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			fell and they are buried in this first
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			grave over here.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			The rest of the shuhada they were people
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			that came to the aid of the Prophet
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			salAllahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			Some of them SubhanAllah were like shuhada that
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			they did not die like Talha radiAllahu anhu
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			Talha ibn Ubaidillah who literally was catching spears
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			and whose hand was paralyzed and suffered all
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			sorts of wounds on his body and was
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			known as the walking martyr radiAllahu ta'ala
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			anhu and you had also Nusaybah radiAllahu anha
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			bint Ka'b who was trying to defend
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam Nusaybah ibn
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			Umair and the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			looked in every direction on the day of
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			Uhud and I saw Nusaybah radiAllahu anha and
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			she was struck so harshly by Ibn Qami
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			'ah on her shoulder that it took her
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			a year to recover as well as the
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			multiple wounds on her body you had Yazid
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			ibn Sakin radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, Sa'ad
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			ibn al-Rabi' radiAllahu anhu, Amr ibn al
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			-Jamuh radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, who the Prophet
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			salAllahu alayhi wa sallam, you know, he was
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			known to have a limp and the Prophet
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			salAllahu alayhi wa sallam said I saw him
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			in Jannah and he had no limp you
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			had Hanbalah radiAllahu anhu ghaseel al-mala'ika
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			who was bathed by the angels he is
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			buried here as well all these people who
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			ran to the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			Anas ibn Malik's uncle radiAllahu anhu, Anas ibn
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			Nadir radiAllahu anhu, who ran towards the battlefield
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			and he said I can smell the smell
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:52
			of Jannah and he fell here as well,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			radiAllahu ta'ala anhu so in this first
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			grave you have Mus'ab Hamza and Abdullah
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			ibn Jahsh and then the grave that is
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			further away, you have the rest of the
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			shahada, the Prophet's son, buried them two by
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			two in accordance with their hifth of the
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			Quran, how much of the Quran they memorized,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			they were buried first, up until the last
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			of them, but they are all some of
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			the most noble people min al-mu'mineen ar
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			-rijalun sadaqu ma'ahad from the believers of
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			those who were truthful, the promise that they
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			made with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, few
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:29
			other notes about Uhud number one, the Prophet
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			salAllahu alayhi wa sallam made it a sunnah
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			to come and visit the shahada of Uhud
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			and make dua for them his last trip
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			outside of Madinah before he passed away was
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			to come to Uhud as he would and
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			to seek forgiveness for him, these people who
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			died protecting him salAllahu alayhi wa sallam in
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:47
			the process, protecting Islam and then he visited
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			al-Baqir and then the Prophet salAllahu alayhi
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			wa sallam obviously spent the rest of his
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			days in his home until he passed away,
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			when the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam was
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:58
			here and they took him up to Uhud
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			you know, to take him away from the
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			hardship of that day, the Prophet salAllahu alayhi
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:09
			wa sallam was making the dua, even as
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			they had taken out his teeth, even as
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			they had driven the armor into his face
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			and struck him and tried to kill him
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			salAllahu alayhi wa sallam, almost succeeded he was
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:24
			still saying Oh Allah forgive my people they
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:28
			don't know any better and subhanAllah he had
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			in his midst already some of the most
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:35
			incredible companions, Abu Ubaidah the Amin of this
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			Ummah who literally pulled with his teeth the
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			helmet of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			out of his face and had a lisp
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			for the rest of his life because of
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			that and Abu Bakr and Umar may Allah
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			be pleased with them who were with the
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam Abu Sufyan called
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			out to them as they retreated into Uhud
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			and he said, a day for a day
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			and the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam said
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			to Umar salAllahu alayhi wa sallam to answer
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			that our dead are in Paradise and your
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			dead are in the Hellfire and then he
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			said may Hubal be elevated and the Prophet
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			salAllahu alayhi wa sallam said Allahu ajal Allah
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			subhanahu wa ta'ala is greater and higher
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:20
			and Allahu Mawlana Allah is our protector and
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			you have no protector still the Prophet salAllahu
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			alayhi wa sallam and some of them went
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			on to become Muslims who would in fact
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31
			spread the message of Islam throughout the world
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			because of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam's
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			hope for them this is the place that
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:41
			brothers and sisters where subhanAllah they literally are
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:46
			as Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says people
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			who are truthful to the covenant they took
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			with Allah and when we come to Medina
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			and we enjoy its blessings they enjoy the
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			blessings of the afterlife because they set the
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:59
			stage these fresh shuhada are the ones who
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed in the
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:09
			verses of surah Ali Imran about do not
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			say of those who have been killed in
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			the way of Allah that they are dead,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			rather they are alive with their Lord rejoicing
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:19
			and being sustained they are pleased with Allah
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			subhanahu wa ta'ala has granted them of
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:28
			his bounty for those who come after them
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			they have no fear nor shall they grieve
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			so the sahaba who were crying over those
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			that they had lost and every house in
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:42
			Medina was struck they knew that their loved
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			ones whose bodies are buried right in front
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			of me are now in gardens with Allah
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			subhanahu wa ta'ala and the bodies of
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			green birds nestled in chandeliers from the throne
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			sayyid of them the master of them is
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			the one about whom the prophet the most
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			was seen weeping in a way that he
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			had never seen weeping before and that was
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			Sayyid al shuhada Hamza radiallahu anhu the leader
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			of all shuhada Hamza radiallahu ta'ala anhu
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be pleased
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:15
			with them may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			reward them for their sacrifices may Allah subhanahu
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			wa ta'ala join us with them in
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			the gardens of Al Firdos in the gardens
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			of Al Firdos
