00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			So tonight, I'm gonna actually, inshaAllah ta'ala, start
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			with the most noble man from Ta'if
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			to embrace Islam
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			that we know of, and who played a
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			crucial role in the life of the Prophet
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, predominantly
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			on the other side of the Messenger Sallallahu
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			So a late convert. And the thing about
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			these people is that every single 1 of
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			them has an extraordinary entrance into Islam. They
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			all have very unique stories. There isn't a
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			simple conversion story here. All of them have
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			very complex ways in which Islam came to
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			them and in which they embraced Islam. And
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			through that, we see the wisdom of the
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and we also see
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			that Allah will reward the heart of the
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			Prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam who did not destroy
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			the people
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			that caused him the greatest amount of harm.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			No 1 hurt the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			more than these people. Now, I want you
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			to sort of sit with that for a
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			moment. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam had a
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			lot of bad days.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			He had people spit on him. He had
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			people knock his teeth out. He had people
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			humiliate him in front of his family. He
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			had people run him out of his home.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			He had people kill his family in front
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			of him. I mean, he's been through a
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23
			lot of bad days. But the prophet said
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			the worst day of his life was what?
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			The day of Taaf. That's the worst day
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			of his life. The most humiliated
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			he has ever
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			been, the most harmed he has ever been,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam. And those
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			that humiliate the most honored creation of Allah
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			are in fact humiliated
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			themselves.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			But the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam had
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			a heart for them. Just as he had
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			a heart for Abu Sufyan and he had
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			a heart for Ikramah and so many of
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			these other people, he had a heart for
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			them, sallallahu alaihi wasallam. So inshallah, we're going
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			to start with 2 major personalities.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			And the irony of these 2 personalities that
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			we'll start with is that they're actually related.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			The main tribe
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			that you interpret Ta'if through
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			is a tribe by the name of Banu
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			Saqif.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			Remember these were people that identified
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			by tribe
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			not as much by city.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			So the tribe is called Banu
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			Saqif.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:18
			Okay?
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			And the most noble man of Thaqif
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			and a man who will die a companion
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			is a man by the name of
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			Now if you think about the geography of
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			Ta'if
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			and the geography of Mecca. Ta'if is not
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			very far away
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			from Mecca. It's about 70 miles. They're considered
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			some of the noble ones
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			as well. There's a lot of intermarriage. There's
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			a lot of connection.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			There's a lot of respect, mutual respect between
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			these 2 cities of Ta'if and Mecca.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			And those that are considered noble there are
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			considered noble here as
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			well. And Urwa
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			comes from
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			a lineage that mixes the best of Ta'if
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			and the best of Mecca. So his father,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			Mas'ud of Taqafi, was considered the most noble
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			man of Takif,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			of the most noble man of Takif.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:21
			His mother
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			was a woman by the name of Subayyah
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			binta'Abdishams
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			ibn 'Abdi Manaf.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			Sumayya bint 'Abdishams' ibn 'Abdi Manaf.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			And she is 1 of the most noble
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			women of Quraysh.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			So his mother is from Quraysh,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			his father is from Thaqif.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			Therefore, he is in good with both of
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			these towns. Right? He has a lot of
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:45
			credibility
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			in both Mecca
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			and in Ta'af.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			And his mother actually was noted for her
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:53
			intelligence.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			So she's noted for her nobility
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			and she's noted for her intelligence.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			So Urwa could recall as a child a
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			very specific incident happening.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			There was a battle that took place
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			known as the Battle of Fijar, which was
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			when many of the tribes in Arabia killed
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			each other off in the days of ignorance.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			Right? There was a massive war and battle
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			that took place in that area.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			Urdua remembered from his mother's intelligence
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			was that she saw that they were gonna
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			get caught up in the violence.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			She went and she pitched a tent,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			and she basically told the Uruwan, he was
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			a very young child on that day, and
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			his brothers, look. Go and offer this tent
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			as refuge to anyone that's fleeing about.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			Let them in, and she would care for
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			them, treat the wounded, bring them water, and
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:40
			basically
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			and that escaped death that day always felt
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			indebted to the family of Subayah,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			Binta Abdi Shams, and by extension, her children
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			as well. So it actually earned her a
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			position through
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01
			her snap judgment in the middle of that
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:01
			craziness
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			to go and to pitch a tent and
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			to take care of the wounded and to
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:06
			basically
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			avoid in that process
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			the crossfire.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			On top of that, as Urwa grows up,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			Urwa himself
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			establishes himself in Mecca by committing a noble
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			act, which is basically
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			in order to avert a battle
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			between tribes,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			Urwa paid some of the diya, some of
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			the blood money that was due in those
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			battles to bring peace back to Mecca from
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			his own pocket. He said, you know what?
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			I'm gonna earn. I'm gonna spend for myself.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			I'm a man who travels. I'm a merchant.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			Some of the wealthy people in this community
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			will come together, and we will pay off
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			and compensate
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			the injured and compensate all of these tribes
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			so that we can restore peace in the
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			city, peace and calm in the city.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			And this is a debt
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			that he's going to still be paying off
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			according to some of the historians until the
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			day of his death.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			So he starts this off in Jahiliyyah, and
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			he earns a position, a noble man, someone
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			who likes peace, someone who likes to bring
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			tribes together,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			Not someone who's hostile. Not someone who seeks
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			to pit his tribe against others. Not someone
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			who brings Ta'if
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			against Mecca.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			We also see, and this is just for
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			those who are taking notes, Insha'Allah Ta'ala, because
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			I know that the names can get become
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			overwhelming, but it is very interesting.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			He marries into the nobles of Mecca as
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:26
			well.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			So his sister, Barzah bint Mas'ud
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			is married to Safwan ibn Umayyah.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu of course is 1 of
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			the last people to embrace Islam from Mecca,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			but a very noble man.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			He also marries the daughter of Abu Sufyan
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			ibn Harp. So his wife is Maimouna
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			bint Abi Sufyan
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			ibn Harp.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			And,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			through Maimuna, bint Abi Sufyan ibn Harp so
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			obviously we know who Abu Sufyan is in
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			terms of being a chief in Mecca and
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			what it means to marry the daughter of
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			Abu Sufyan ibn Harp.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			He had a son that was named Dawud,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			and Dawud would marry
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			his maternal cousin Habiba,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			the daughter of Habiba.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			Alright. So so you don't get lost, let's
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			kind of walk this back a bit. Habiba
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			is the wife of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			Wasallam,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			the daughter of Abu Sufyan.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:19
			Habiba
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			was born in Abyssinia
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			to a different father, to R'baidullah Abu Najash
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			who died in Abyssinia.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			So this daughter is the stepdaughter of the
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			and she will marry
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			the son of Uhruwah
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			and Maimuna bint Abi Sufyan. So he's very,
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			you know, much embedded
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			in the society
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:43
			in Mecca,
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			and he has a reputation
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			for wanting to bring people together. And it's
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			very useful that when you kind of look
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			at the early skirmishes with the Prophet salallahu
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			alaihi wasallam, some people pulled certain tricks.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			Some people were particularly nasty towards the Prophet
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			salallahu alaihi wasallam. Some people employed treachery. In
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			fact, most of the people in Mecca completely
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			lost their morals and their ethics
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			in the process
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			of combating the mission of the Prophet, salAllahu
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			alaihi wa sallam. Even things that the Arabs
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			took pride in as non Muslims,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			they completely threw that out the window when
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			they wanted to shut down the Prophet They
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			started to lie and cheat and steal
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			and plot and do all sorts of things
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			that were otherwise foreign to them because they
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			saw themselves
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			as a noble people. Rurba is someone who
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			you don't actually find
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			engaging in those types of attitudes.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			Okay?
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			Now let's talk about what he looks like
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			because he has 1 of the most unique
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:40
			looks
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			of the companions.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			In 1 sentence,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			Irrawad looked like Jesus.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			Irrawad looked like 'Isa, alaihis salaam.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			You're like, wait, where did that come from?
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			That's completely out of left field when you're
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			describing a companion of the prophet, alayhi salaam.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			The prophet, alayhi salaam, said an authentic hadith.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:00
			He
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			said,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said that the
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			prophets were shown to me on the night
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			of Al Isra'ul Mi'raj,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			and Musa Alaihi Salaam looked like 1 of
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			the men of Shanua, and 1 narration of
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			Zut, which means Musa
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			was a man with dark skin.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			Right? Musa was a man
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			with dark skin. So the prophet described
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			Musa alayhis salam that way.
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			And he said,
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			He said, and I saw Jesus, the son
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			of Mary, Alayhi Salaam,
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			and the person who resembled him most
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			is Arwa ibn Mas'ud. If you wanna know
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			how Isa Alaihi Salaam looked,
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			look at
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			He said, salallahu alaihi, alaihi. He said, salallahu
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			alaihi wa sallam, and I saw Abraham, peace
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			be upon him.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			And the person who resembled him most was
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			who? The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam himself.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			And SubhanAllah, if you take the Shamael of
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, the description, the
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			physical description of the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			Alaihi Wasallam, and you take what is collected
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			through some of the early biblical sources even
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			of a description of Abraham peace be upon
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:31
			him, very similar descriptions between Ibrahim Alaihi Salam
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			and Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Salam. And of course,
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Salam is a descendant of
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			Ibrahim, alayhi salam,
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			Dihyah radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu. He said, I saw
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			Jibril alayhi salam, and the person who resembled
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			him most was
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:50
			Dihyah.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			Okay? So a few things here,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:57
			Risa, alayhis salaam is described with extreme beauty.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			Right? Risa, alayhis salaam had
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			a certain look,
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			which was a beautiful
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			and powerful
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			look. Now someone says, well, what does he
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			look like?
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			I want you to take the image of
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			Jesus that you see in the churches today
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			and in the movies today. And I want
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			you to go to Ta'if
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			and tell me if you find a single
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19
			human being in Ta'if
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			that looks like that.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			Problem solved.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			So, Isa, alayhis salaam, and
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			or Irwa bin Mas'ud looks like Isa alayhis
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			salam,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			has a powerful,
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:37
			look, has a beautiful look, has long hair,
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:40
			a strong build, a position with his people,
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			noble characteristics.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			And SubhanAllah, he is mentioned in the Quran
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			initially
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			in in a very interesting way.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			That they said to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			Wasallam when he first came to them with
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			Islam,
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:05
			why didn't the Quran descend upon 1 of
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			the 2 great men or the the 2
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			men from the great towns?
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			Okay? So how come it came to you?
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			Meaning,
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			the prophet was not wealthy, the prophet was
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			an orphan, the prophet
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19
			Right?
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			They compared him to Irwa,
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			ibn Mas'ud
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			and Al Walid ibn Mughira.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			Al Walid ibn Mughira, the father of Khaled
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu from Mecca.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			Rurwa bin Mas'ud al Saqafi from Al Ta'if.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			How come
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			the Quran didn't come on 1 of them?
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:41
			Why did the Quran descend upon you instead
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			of them? Now, I wanna show you how
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			precise and how beautiful and profound the Quran
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			is.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:48
			Allah
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			did not threaten
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			these 2 men here.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			Allah did not say, that
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			we're gonna punish these 2 people, and we're
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			gonna show them how little they are on
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			the day of judgment. Allah did not then
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			go into the punishment of these 2 men.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			He simply quoted
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			what was being said in Mecca because all
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			they could think about was tribe, and wealth,
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			and power, and prestige. They said, how come
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			if God is talking to us, why doesn't
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15
			He reveal to alwadeedunmugira
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			or arwabun mas'ud in Ta'af?
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21
			But then Allah is silent about the 2
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			of these men. Some of the scholars say,
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			subhanallah, look how beautiful and profound.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			If Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala would have proceeded
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			to speak about the punishment of these 2
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			men, that means 'ur was done.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			But Ur was gonna become Muslim in 2
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			decades.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			Compare that to Abu Lahab,
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			who would have had the better chance, because
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			he's the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam's uncle. He's
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			very close to him, and it could have
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			woke up from his senses. Right? If you're
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			talking about a judgment,
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			Abu Lahab has the better chance to wake
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			up,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			but Allah sealed it for him.
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			Abu Lahab could have disproved the Quran,
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			right, to a lot of people by coming
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			out and saying, I'm a Muslim now. So
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			what happened at Tabatiya dahi Abi Lahab been
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			what happened?
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			But Allah knew what his fate would
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			be. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, the precision of
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			describing the enemies. Now, alwuid almugira is described
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			in many ways in punishment. But here in
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15
			particular, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is condemning the
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:15
			sentiment,
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			but Allah does not decree the fate of
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:21
			these 2 men, and that is a bushwa,
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:22
			a glad tiding
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			of the eventual repentance
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26
			of
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			come up in the Seerah?
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:40
			You have to see Ta'if as basically a
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:40
			place
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			that largely ignored
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:44
			Islam.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			Right? The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam came to
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:48
			them.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			They were not interested.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			They sent the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam away,
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			humiliated him, alayhis salatu wa sallam, stoned him.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57
			Right? Did what they did.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			Largely, this affair
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:04
			remains between, in terms of geography, Mecca and
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:04
			Medina.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			Ta'af kinda stays out of it, except for
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			some of the tribes that are used as
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			mercenaries
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			that help Quraysh at times
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			in a military sense to try to
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			suppress the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in his
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			mission and his Diwa.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			But largely Ta'if is out of this. And
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			so,
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			doesn't really show up in the Sira
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			until a very important inflection point, which is
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			the point of Hudaybiyyah,
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is coming from
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:38
			Medina
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			in peace.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			He and the companions are wearing their Ihram.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			They're coming to make umrah. They're coming to
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			Mecca to do the pilgrimage. They're not armed.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			Mecca is in a dilemma. If we kill
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:54
			them, then we violate our own rights and
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			rituals. What will that what will it look
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			like upon us? But if we let them
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			come and do this pilgrimage,
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			we're also humiliated. So they're obviously trying to
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			figure out a way to stop the Prophet
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			and stop
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			the Muslims
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			from coming into
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			Mecca.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:14
			And so, hence, the negotiation starts.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:15
			Right?
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			The first negotiator,
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			the Meccan sons
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was a
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			man by the name of Hulais,
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			Hulais ibn al Khum, and Hulais was actually
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			Makkim, so he's 1 of them.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			They sent him, he failed.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			Eventually, we know that suhayd ibn al Amr
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			is the 1 who comes in RadiAllahu ta'ala
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			Anhu and at that time an enemy again
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			and he seals a deal with the Prophet
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			But in between,
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			this is where Urwa ibn Mas'ud
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:48
			actually
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			comes in. So the negotiators were Hulais and
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			then Urwa and then Mikraaz and then Suhail.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			Okay?
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			Urwa,
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:00
			he comes to the people of Mecca
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:01
			and he
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			says to the people of Mecca,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			am I not to you
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			like a son?
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:18
			Or Are you not to me, oh, leaders
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			of Mecca, like a father is to a
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			son? And am I not to you like
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			a son to a father?
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:25
			What is he citing here? His mother. Like,
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			I'm I'm I'm 1 of you as well.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			Look,
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			I work these types of treaties.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			I'm a diplomat.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			I'm well traveled.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			I know how to bring people together
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			in the midst of these types of disputes.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			So am I not to you like a
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42
			son? Are you not to me like a
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			father? And this is of course in the
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:45
			Arabic language, you know, playing on the sentiment.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			And they say, of
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			course. Right? His mother is 1 of their
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			most noble and they know Oduah very well
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			and he's a leader and he's senior,
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:54
			polished,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:55
			powerful,
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			everything that you'd want. And Urdua says, do
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			you have any doubt in me?
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			And they say absolutely not.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			No doubt in your integrity. No doubt in
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			who you are. He says, Fada'uni
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10
			adhabu ilayhi wukalimohu. Let me go speak to
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:10
			him.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			Let me go try my hand with the
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:13
			prophet I
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			think I can intercede.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			I'm far enough, but close enough. He knows
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			me. I know him. I don't have the
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:22
			bad blood that you all have of him.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			I don't come from, you know, your exact
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			tribe. There's enough of a distance. I think
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			I'm the perfect person to go negotiate
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			with the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:32
			Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			Now Urwa is going to try
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			some different tactics.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			Alright? So he's not gonna come in necessarily
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			and just play the sweet card.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			1st, he's gonna try a little bit of
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			a rougher
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			approach with the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			and see how that goes.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:53
			So he comes to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:53
			Wasallam
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			with his man, he enters upon him
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:58
			in Hudaybia
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			and he looks around
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:04
			kinda sees the situation
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			and he says,
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			So, oh, Muhammad, all I see around you
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:17
			is a mixture of a bunch of different
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			people. This is actually 1 of the most
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			beautiful descriptions of the prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			Your community is full of people of different
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:24
			races,
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:25
			different tribes,
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			different social classes.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			They're not really united by anything that we
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			know. Right? We know something very different. We're
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			a people of tribe.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			So I see around you all of these
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			different people. Right? I mean, think about the
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			image in that society.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			You've got everybody around the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:42
			wa sallam.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			Every shape,
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47
			every type of person around the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			alaihi wa sallam. So he said, I see
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			this mixture of people, but he's not saying
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			it in a praiseworthy way. He says, have
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:55
			you ever heard of a man from us,
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			from the Arab, who destroyed his own people,
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			who turned on his own people and destroyed
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			his own people? So you're gonna take this
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			group of people,
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			and you've got a Persian amongst you, an
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			Abyssinian amongst you, a rich man, a poor
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			man. You're gonna take this group of people
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			and you're going to attack Quraysh.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14
			You're gonna destroy your own people like if
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			Allah gives you victory.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			What type of victory is that?
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			Right?
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			And then as he's saying this
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			and the companions are listening
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:26
			and
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			companions have a lot of restraint,
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:32
			but he says something that strikes an earth.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			He says,
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			Listen. He says, I see all of these
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			people,
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			and
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			it's a derogatory term, this mixture of people
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			around you, is.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			If they came if Quraysh came to them
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			with their numbers and with their strength,
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			These people all flee away from you.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			Okay.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			There's a famous narration here
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			from Abu Bakr radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			Abu Bakr radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:09
			got so angry with that statement like out
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			of all the accusations
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:12
			that you would make,
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			how dare you claim
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			that we would leave the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			Wasallam.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			So he said, Anaknu Nafiru Anhu unsos Badrulat.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			He said, you think that we would leave
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:28
			him? And then he said something extremely vulgar
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			to him.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			Alright. Which I'm not going to translate.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			But he basically said something that is very
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			unlike Abu Bakr radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu in all
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:38
			of the narrations.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			And it became the source of chapters, and
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			chapters, and chapters in books. How is it
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			that Abu Bakr radiAllahu
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			uses that type of language?
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			Vulgar language cursing him
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			and telling him to get lost.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			And it's not like Abu Bakr radiAllahu ta'ala
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			Anhu to do that. And so the the
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			scholars will write chapters about this and they'll
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			say, look, there are exceptions to the rule.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			A person who's not honest to the tradition
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			is someone who takes the exception and makes
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			it the norm, which is every time you
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			get into a Dawah debate with someone, you
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:11
			immediately curse and you become foul and you
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			start to talk to them in the same
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			language. The asl, the default is, Itra'bildatihiyahassal.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			Respond with
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:20
			better. Don't be agitated.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			Don't use the same types of language that
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			they use against you. But sometimes,
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26
			even the prophet
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			when he's doing tawaf,
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			1 time he says, look, I'm coming for
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:31
			you.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:34
			Sometimes people need to be responded to in
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			like manner. Bullies need to be put in
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:39
			their place sometimes, but it's the exception,
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			not the norm. And that way when the
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			exception is important, it's like, woah.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:45
			So I want you to kind of imagine
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			the scene when Abu Bakr said that it
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			took the air out of the room literally.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			So 'uduah was shocked.
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			'uduah was 1 of the most respectable men
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:59
			in his in his tribe amongst his people.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			Like someone using that type of language to
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			him
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			is a major, major, major violation.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:06
			Right?
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			So, Ed was like, who said that?
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			He's asking the people around him,
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			who just said that to me? Like, who
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			dares use that type of language towards me?
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			And they said, Abu Bakr.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:21
			And, Urwa,
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			and this is powerful,
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:24
			he responds and he says,
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			powerful language.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37
			Urwa says,
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			if it wasn't for a favor that you
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			once did for me way back in the
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:41
			day,
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			I would have responded to you in like
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			manner.
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			But he said,
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47
			now, 1 for 1. We're even. I'm not
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:49
			gonna respond to you with that language
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			because I owed you something from way back
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			in the day. You did a favor for
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:57
			me way back in the day, and I
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			did not feel like I sufficiently paid you
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			back. So I'm gonna let that go from
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			you, Abu Bakr. Even though with the Arabs,
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			like, you don't go that low. Those are
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:07
			fighting words, literally fighting words. And Abu Bakr
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			is looking for a fight because you don't
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			tell the companions that you would abandon the
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:12
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. That's the greatest
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			insult to the companions, that you would leave
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			Pause here. Some of the scholars say, subhanAllah,
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			look at the nobility of this man. What
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			was he speaking about?
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			Some of the scholars mentioned that when Urduah
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:26
			took on
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:29
			at a younger age that diya, that blood
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			money to sort of solve the problems, Abu
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			Bakr pitched him
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			because Abu Bakr is a noble man and
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			he wanted to aid in a noble endeavor.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:40
			So 'irwa remembered that and that's alwatha, that's
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:40
			loyalty.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			That's not forgetting things that were done for
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:47
			you. SubhanAllah, like I've seen Masha'i cry over
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			this narration because they would say that that
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50
			man in his jahil in his jahiliyah is
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			better than a Muslim today.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			Remembering something that someone did for him years
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			ago that might have been very small but
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			to say, you know what?
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			I owe you 1.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			I'm gonna let that go because you did
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			something for me a long time ago. That
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			loyalty is a characteristic of Islam.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			Not forgetting the favors that were done for
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			you, but forgetting the favors you do for
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			others
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			is a is a trait of Islam. It's
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			a noble trait. And Islam came to
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			refine those types of traits, not do away
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			with them. So Urwah has that type of
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:20
			trait
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			with Abu Bakr radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu here and
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			he says, you know what?
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			Have the hibitilq.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			1 for 1.
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:30
			Or even now. Meaning if you say it
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			again, we'll fight.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:34
			But for now, Abu Bakr,
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			you use those words and I'm not gonna
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			respond to you in like manner.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:42
			Now the next part of this narration,
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			Rurwa
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			then goes close to the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			wa sallam. So this grandstanding is not working.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			This strategy failed.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
			Strategy number 2.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			He comes close to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			Wasallam
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			He starts touching the beard of the Prophet
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And I know that customs
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			can seem very weird, like, when you're talking
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			about, like, you know, like someone stroking your
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			beard is like, come on. Like, let me
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:11
			talk to you, like, closely. It wasn't grabbing
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			the prophet salAllahu alayhi wasalam, but it was
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:13
			like, look,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			let me talk to you and let's sort
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			of work through this.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			So while he's doing that, there was a
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			man who was in full armor.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			And we're going to revisit this insha'Allah ta'ala
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:28
			in a little bit because we're going to
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			talk about who this man is. There's a
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			man in full armor
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			who takes his sword and he takes the
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			back of his sword
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:38
			and he knocks the hand of Arwa off
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam's beard.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			And Ur was
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:46
			like, okay, first double Beqif,
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			and now this guy who's armored. Right, who's
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			who's wearing his metal from top I can't
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			see anything,
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			like a bodyguard,
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			moves my hand away.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			So Urwa says that I was about to
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			put my hand back on the beard of
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			the prophet salAllahu alaihi wa sallam, like whatever.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:06
			And the man said, kuf a yadaka kabbla
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			anna tasilalek.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			He said, if you want your hand to
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			come back to you,
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:12
			don't touch the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:16
			So Hurrah was like,
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			man. So he said, Mandaiya Muhammad.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			He asked the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25
			who's that? Na Afadlahu akhladahu. Like, what a
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26
			rough
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			and an unnecessarily
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			abrasive man he is. So the prophet smiled
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			and he said, Ibnu Akhik, that's actually your
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34
			nephew.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			That is literally
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			the son of
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:39
			your brother,
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			Al Mughir ibn Sharba.
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			And Urwa looks at him and he goes,
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			This is a statement we're gonna come back
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:54
			to when we come to Mughira,
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			which basically like, you traitor,
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59
			I still have been cleaning up your mess
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			up until last night. Like, I'm still cleaning
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			up the mess that you left behind. This
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			is something only between Muhira
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07
			and his uncle, a nephew and his uncle.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10
			But this is again, it's dawning upon him,
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			like, all right, like, I'm not gonna come
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			here and bully the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			And this was the tactic of Quraysh. They
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			wanted to show the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19
			that because you're unarmed,
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			we can bully you. We can push you
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:22
			around.
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			So that tactic is not working.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			So Uruwa
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:28
			is watching
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			the situation
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			and the prophet says
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32
			to him, listen.
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			Nan ureduqital.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			We didn't come to fight.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			We're not coming for war. We're not coming
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38
			for battle.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			Like literally, the Prophet sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			is saying, we're coming in peace. It's
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:45
			those people that are causing a situation. Just
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:46
			let us do umrah.
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			Let us go back to Madinah.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49
			No 1 gets hurt.
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:50
			Right?
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:53
			So Urwa kind of takes a step back,
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			and he's watching the situation
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:00
			and Urwa realizes he's completely out of his
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:00
			element.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:02
			As he sees
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			the love that the companions have for the
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			and he says that as I'm watching the
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:14
			as the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, calls for
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			his wudu, they bring his wudu, they don't,
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			you know, they don't look at the Prophet,
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in a certain way, they
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20
			listen to the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			love and the honor that they have for
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:25
			the Messenger SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam is something unlike
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26
			I had ever
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:26
			seen
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:27
			before.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			So he leaves. He leaves Hudaybiyah.
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			He goes back to the people of Mecca,
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35
			and he says,
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:37
			oh people,
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:44
			said, listen, O people,
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			I have entered upon the kings of the
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:50
			world. I have, as a diplomat,
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			entered upon the kings of the world, and
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			he mentioned the 3 most powerful men in
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55
			the world at his time.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			He says, I have been in the Palace
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:58
			of Caesar.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:00
			I've been in the Palace of Kisra.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			I've been in the Palace of An Najashi
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			in Abyssinia. I've seen it all.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			And he says, wallahi maraaitu
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:08
			maricankatu
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:09
			azzimuhu
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:13
			ashabuhu ma you azzimu ashabuhu Muhammadin Muhammad sallallahu
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			alaihi wa sallam. I've never seen
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:17
			a man,
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			a King, who is more adored
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:21
			by his people
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			than the way that this man is adored
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			by his people. It's different. The prophet, salAllahu
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:28
			alaihi wa sallam, doesn't dominate them by clothes
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			or by anything pompous. He's dressed just like
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			them. He lives in a house smaller than
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			the rest of them. He eats less than
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			them. It's different.
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:38
			He's not abusive towards them. But there is
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			a ta'aleem, there is a love and an
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			awe that they have with the
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			prophet that I have never seen with anyone
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:45
			else.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			He said that, I saw the prophet sallallahu
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:30:59 --> 00:30:59
			inyatanakamlukhamah.
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			If the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam was to
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:04
			spit, I mean, this is just he's just
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:06
			talking about, like, how much they adore the
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. Like, they would catch
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:08
			his spit
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			because of how much they love him. And
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			he says,
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:16
			And if the prophet,
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:17
			sallallahu alaihi wasalam gave them an order, then
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			they immediately responded to his order.
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27
			And when the prophet sallAllahu alaihi wasallam would
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29
			make wudu, it's like they would fight
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			for his wudu, sallAllahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:37
			And if they spoke, khafalu aswatahumaindahu,
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:39
			they lowered their voice in the presence of
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:41
			the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			And they wouldn't even like look at the
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam face to face out
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:52
			of glory for the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			how much they honored the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			Wasallam.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:58
			And he said, wallahi laqadraitu
		
00:31:59 --> 00:31:59
			qaman
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:05
			He said, Look, I just saw a people
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:07
			that would not give him up for anything
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08
			in the world.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:10
			Remember he was the 1 that said these
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:11
			people are going to flee you. He's going
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14
			back to Quraysi saying, never going to happen.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			These people will never give up the Prophet
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:19
			SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. They will indeed stand by
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:21
			him. And he said, and on top of
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:21
			that,
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:23
			he says,
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			that he basically has given to you sallallahu
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:28
			alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			fakmaluha, like he's given you a fair deal.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			Like he's not
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			he's not trying to do anything that's out
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			of the ordinary. He's not trying to treat
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38
			you in a certain way. He's making a
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			very fair argument here. Accept what he's saying.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:43
			Like, I'm telling you there's no reason to
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			fight him this way,
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:45
			and
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:49
			that is what I believe. Give this up.
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:50
			Stop fighting him. Unfortunately,
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:53
			Quraysh did not listen, so Urwa basically said,
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:54
			I'm out.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			I tried and I'm telling you that the
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:01
			is making a fair deal. Unfortunately,
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:02
			they continue
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04
			to be aggressive.
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:05
			They agitate.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:09
			Eventually, Sur Hudaybiyyah happens. The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:12
			happens and of course the Meccans violate the
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:12
			treaty
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:15
			and their aggression against the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:16
			Wasallam.
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:19
			The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam marches upon Mecca
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:22
			and the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam does not
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:23
			come in the spirit of revenge. He comes
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			in the spirit of mercy as we've said.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:28
			He forgives people Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, but he
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:30
			comes with such an overwhelming amount of people
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			with him, Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:35
			that they don't they're not gonna fight him.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:38
			They can't fight him anymore Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:40
			and the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam treats them
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			in the most noble of ways.
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:44
			And the rest of that part is history,
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:45
			forgiving the people of Mecca
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48
			overlooking what they had done to him SallAllahu
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:49
			Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:50
			But then
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:53
			we talk about Hunayn, and we talk about
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:54
			Ta'if,
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:57
			right, and what transpired after
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:01
			that those groups then started to arrange forces
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:03
			to attack the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam because
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:05
			Mecca is gone.
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:08
			And so they wanted to attack the Prophet
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:09
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:11
			and this is where the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			Wasallam proceeds towards Ta'af.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:16
			And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:19
			surrounds Ta'af and places Ta'af
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:20
			under siege.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24
			Now here's the saying. It's very interesting subhanAllah
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25
			what happens with Ta'af.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			The prophet
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:29
			didn't want to destroy them. He had a
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			heart for them sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:32
			So yes,
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:35
			he is carrying out his due diligence as
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:37
			a military leader as well
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			because he's leading a community here. He has
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:41
			to do what he has to do, Sallallahu
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:43
			Alaihi Wasallam, but at the same time,
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:46
			in the heart of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48
			Wasallam, he wants these people to become Muslim.
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:51
			He wants these people to be guided.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:54
			So what happens in Ta'af is that a
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:55
			lot of those tribes, and and we know
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:57
			how difficult Hunayn was, a lot of those
		
00:34:57 --> 00:35:00
			Bedouin tribes had basically fallen into Ta'af,
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:04
			and they're really difficult to deal with, very
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			difficult to deal with.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			So when the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam surrounds
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:08
			Thayf,
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:09
			it's a pretty
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:12
			strong siege that he places on Thayf,
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:14
			but he doesn't charge insallallahu
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:15
			alaihi wasallam.
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:18
			So in that siege, there are negotiations that
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20
			are taking place with the leaders there.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			Obviously, the prophet sallAllahu alaihi wasalam is not
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:24
			forcing people to become Muslim,
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:27
			but the siege is getting tighter on them.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29
			And the prophet sallAllahu alaihi wasalam was there
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:29
			for a month
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:31
			outside of Ta'ath
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:33
			with the Sahaba, many of them from Mecca
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			now that had joined.
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:39
			And the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:42
			after being there for some time and speaking,
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:44
			Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, Inna Qafirun Avada.
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:47
			He said Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam that
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49
			we're gonna leave in the morning.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:51
			We're not gonna go in.
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:55
			Umar radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu in his enthusiasm and
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			some of the companions, they said, You Rasulullah,
		
00:35:57 --> 00:36:00
			why not? I mean, let's go, like we're
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:00
			ready.
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:02
			So the prophet
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:05
			said, fine. In that case, go ahead and
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:06
			fight. Give it a shot.
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08
			So the next morning,
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:10
			some of the Sahaba attempted
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:13
			to basically get into to start a battle.
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14
			And
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:17
			clearly the people of Ta'af and those tribes,
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			like, they had their tricks.
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:21
			So the arrows and different stuff started to
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:24
			fly out there, and those Sahaba came back
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			exhausted and hurt.
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:27
			And the Prophet
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			said, Inna Qafirun Adhan, we're going back in
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:31
			the morning.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:33
			And no 1 said anything.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:36
			Falahee kar Rasoolallahu alaihi wasallam, the prophet laughed
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			like if you would have listened to me
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:37
			yesterday,
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:40
			you wouldn't have got yourselves hurt.
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:42
			Khalafs, we're done. Like, let's go back to
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			Madinah. We don't have to we don't have
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:46
			to carry forward now. We're good.
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			And SubhanAllah at this point,
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			and by the way, the du'a of Safar
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:56
			was narrated as the prophet taught them what
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:59
			to say returning from Ta'af to Madinah. So
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:01
			the narration of dua, Safa, the dua of
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:01
			travel,
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			is taught in this
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:06
			context. Right? And you can think about it.
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			That we're going back to Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:09
			Ta'ala, repented
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:11
			as a 'Abidun, as worshippers.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			To our Lord, we return. Right? This idea
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16
			that we're Alhamdulillah, we're good.
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:18
			Now before that happens,
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:22
			Jabir radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu said that some of
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:23
			the Sahaba said to the Prophet
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:26
			You Rasulullah,
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:29
			they struck us with their arrows.
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31
			Fadirullahalayhim,
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			make dua against them,
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			Make du'a against them. SubhanAllah, 20 years before
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:40
			or not 20 years, but say about 13
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:42
			or 14 years prior to that in Ta'if,
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:43
			the angels said,
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:45
			I can finish them.
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:48
			The Prophet said no.
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:50
			So when they said just make Dua against
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:53
			them, the Prophet said, Allah, Mahdi Saqif
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			and bring them to me. So he made
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:58
			dua'a for their guidance
		
00:37:59 --> 00:37:59
			instead.
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:01
			He called out
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:03
			that if anyone
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:05
			would like to escape and who was he
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:08
			speaking to? Particularly the enslaved.
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:10
			If anyone would like to come back with
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:12
			us and join us on our way to
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13
			Madinah, you can come out.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:14
			Alright?
		
00:38:15 --> 00:38:16
			But the prophet sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam left
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:17
			them.
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:19
			Now SubhanAllah while this is all happening, where's
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:20
			Urwa bin Mas'ud?
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:32
			Was a military leader, a a diplomat. He
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:35
			was actually in Jaros and he was basically
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:37
			working on weapons, learning
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:40
			tricks of weaponry, learning how to use catapults,
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			manufacturing, and there are, of course, simple ways.
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:46
			Right? Different weapons of war. He actually wasn't
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:48
			in thought when the siege happened. He actually
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:49
			was out.
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:51
			So he wasn't there when this all happened.
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:53
			But SubhanAllah,
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:56
			when he found out what had happened and
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:57
			he kind of becomes
		
00:38:57 --> 00:39:00
			updated by the Fatah Makkah and what has
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
			happened with the prophet sallAllahu alaihi wasalam's amnesty
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:02
			and his forgiveness.
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:05
			Word is spreading, right, that the prophet sallAllahu
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:06
			alaihi wasalam did not create a bloodshed,
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:09
			a bloodbath with the people that literally oppressed
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:10
			him for 20 years.
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:13
			Rarwa decides to go to Medina to become
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:14
			Muslim.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17
			So he himself goes to Madinah
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			to embrace Islam voluntarily.
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:24
			So he goes
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:27
			to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:30
			and the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam was extremely
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			happy to receive him. So it's like a
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:33
			completely different,
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36
			a different attitude altogether. Like it's not Hudaybiyah.
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:39
			The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam stands up.
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:40
			He embraces him,
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:41
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:46
			Like I knew from Hudaybiyyah you are a
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			prophet.
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:49
			I knew from that whole interaction that you
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:49
			were different,
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:52
			but I'm here to embrace Islam.
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:54
			Abu Bakr
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:55
			threw that nasty
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			language at him? Abu Bakr radiAllahu Anhu said,
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			you're staying with me?
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			So Ur was gonna stay in Abu Bakr's
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:03
			house.
		
00:40:04 --> 00:40:06
			And then Mughira ibn Shurba, who's his nephew,
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:09
			says, absolutely not. He's staying in my house.
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:09
			And he insists
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:12
			until Urwa stays in his house instead of
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:14
			Abu Bakr. So Subhanahu you see the interactions
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:15
			of Hudaybiyyah,
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			the atmosphere, the mood completely
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:18
			changed.
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			And Urwa says to the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:22
			Wasallam,
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:23
			You Rasoolullah,
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:25
			I'm gonna go back to my people and
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:26
			call them to Islam.
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:29
			This is actually very profound here.
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:31
			The prophet says,
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:34
			they're gonna kill you.
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:41
			They'll kill you. I'm worried about you.
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:43
			Your people aren't ready for Islam.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			Like I know Tawf, I've been through it.
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:49
			I've been through that that harshness. I've been
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			through all of that torture and all of
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:51
			that devastation.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:52
			Your people
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:54
			are gonna kill you.
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:57
			And look what he says. He says, my
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58
			people, he says,
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:01
			like, my people love me so much. If
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:03
			my people saw me asleep, they wouldn't dare
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:05
			wake me up. That's how much my people
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:06
			love me.
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:08
			SubhanAllah. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is a
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:09
			man
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:12
			who when he received revelation, his people loved
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:13
			him too. And when Waraqa told him, your
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			people will kill you and run you out,
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:16
			the prophet said, me?
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19
			So it's like the prophet is saying, look,
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			I know how this goes.
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:23
			I know you think that your people won't
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:24
			hurt you and that your people love you
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:26
			and that they'll embrace you, but Islam is
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:26
			different.
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:29
			You tell them to abandon their idols, things
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:30
			are gonna go south
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:32
			very, very quickly.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:35
			And Urwa insisted, he said, You Rasulullah,
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:37
			let me try it. I know my people.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:39
			I'm gonna bring them back to you as
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:40
			Muslims.
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:42
			I'm gonna go to Ta'if, and I'm gonna
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:44
			bring fakif back to you as Muslims.
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:45
			SubhanAllah,
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:48
			he goes back to Fati'if. He's been gone
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:49
			for some time.
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:51
			They come to him in Ta'if,
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:54
			and they give him a greeting
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			in a way that they used to greet
		
00:41:58 --> 00:41:59
			each other in days of ignorance.
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:00
			Right?
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:08
			He responds and he says, instead I'll give
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:09
			you the greeting that the people of Jannah
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:12
			give the people of paradise. Peace.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:14
			They
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:15
			said, are you serious?
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:17
			He said, yes.
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:19
			I'm a Muslim.
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:21
			I want you all to be Muslim.
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			I went to
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			Medina. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is a
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			prophet of Allah. There is only 1 God.
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:29
			Now what happens in his home, and this
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:30
			was nighttime, so he got back and this
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:31
			was at nighttime.
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:33
			They got into a little bit of a
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:34
			fight.
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:36
			Right? So harsh words,
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:40
			some hands are thrown. It's a skirmish of
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:42
			sorts in his house, but not like death.
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:44
			Right? Just anger.
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:47
			Right? So you can imagine someone putting their
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:48
			hands on a shirt or pushing him and,
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:50
			like, trying to yell at him. And he's
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:52
			all alone. Urwa has no 1 with him.
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			He's by himself,
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:55
			but he's like, my people love me. I'm
		
00:42:55 --> 00:42:57
			the chief of these people. They're never gonna
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:58
			hurt. Right?
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:00
			They left the house angry.
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:02
			Rurwa thought
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:04
			by now
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:06
			it would have settled in.
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:07
			So SubhanAllah,
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:10
			he stands up on the rooftop
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:11
			at Fajr,
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:15
			and he starts to call the Adhan, Allahu
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:18
			Akbar, the first Adhan in Ta'af.
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:20
			Allahu Akbar
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:23
			And what do his people do?
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:25
			They shoot him with arrows.
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:29
			So he gets hit by arrows
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			from 1 of the subtribes of Ta'af, Ben
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:32
			U Malik.
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:36
			And he doesn't die right away, but this
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:38
			did not turn out the way that he
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			thought it was gonna turn out.
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:42
			So he comes down struck by arrows.
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:44
			And,
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:46
			you know, at this point now,
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:48
			this became a tribal thing.
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:51
			His people come to him,
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:55
			and the first thing they're thinking is, we're
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:57
			gonna kill 10 leaders of Ben Umali because
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:58
			they killed our leader. Like, yeah, we don't
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:00
			like your religion, but we don't like that
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:02
			they struck you with arrows.
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:03
			See how these people think?
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:06
			Right? So we're gonna take revenge, and we're
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:07
			gonna kill 10 of their leaders.
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:10
			He says, la'taktru
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			Rufiyyah, don't kill anyone in my name.
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:15
			My blood is charity.
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:18
			There needs to be peace. I don't want
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:19
			that between you.
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:21
			And he said,
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:21
			but
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:32
			When I die,
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:34
			bury me with the martyrs
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:37
			who died outside of Ta'af
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:39
			before they left you.
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:40
			So SubhanAllah,
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:42
			Urwa
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:43
			dies
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:47
			giving adhan amongst his people, a shahid,
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:50
			and he's buried with the shuhada from Hunayn
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:51
			and Taash.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54
			It says, take me out there
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:55
			and bury me
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			with them.
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:59
			When this news came back to the Prophet
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:00
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:03
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:12
			is like the man in Surah Yaseen.
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15
			He called his people and they killed him.
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:16
			You know, the man,
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:20
			when he goes back to his people and
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:22
			he calls them to Islam, he calls them
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:23
			to submit to 1 God,
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:25
			and they murder him,
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:27
			and Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la tells us what
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:29
			he says after he's murdered. If only my
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:30
			people knew better,
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:35
			How my Lord forgave me and he made
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:37
			me from those
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:39
			who were considered
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:42
			or those who had the generosity and the
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:44
			grace of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bestowed
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:46
			upon them. So Urwa RadiAllahu
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:48
			Ta'ala Anhu
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:50
			passes away as a shahid, a man who
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:52
			resembles Ayesha Alaihi Salam
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:55
			and a man RadiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu who the
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:56
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam likened to the man
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:57
			in Surah
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:03
			Yaseem.
