And of course, that new song that the
believers were to sing was, of course, the
song of the Holy Quran, the recitation.
Just I'm taking the word as it has
been written in the Tanakh, the song, and
of course we refer to it as a
recitation.
غَرَطِّ لِلْقُرْآنَ التَّرْتِيلَ And recite the Quran, a
beautiful recitation.
So 2,500 years between Muhammad ﷺ and
Ismail, and of course Qaydar.
What we do know in terms of the
lineage between Muhammad and Ismail, we know only
of 20 grandfathers with certainty.
In other words, something that all the ulama
of Sira agree upon.
There is no question about that.
And that is from Muhammad back to Adnan.
As from Adnan back to Ismail, whether it's
via Qaydar or via Nabit, we are unsure.
But we do know, for example, of the
hadith of our beloved Prophet ﷺ.
He said, This
is a sahih hadith.
The Prophet ﷺ, indeed Allah chose Kinana from
Walid Ismail, from the children of Ismail.
And he chose from Kinana, he chose Quraysh.
He chose Quraysh.
Quraysh, his other name is Fahr.
Fahr, one of the grandfathers in that lineage
that we are going to look at now
inshallah ta'ala.
Then from Quraysh, he chose Bani Hashim.
And he chose me from Bani Hashim.
So that is all we have in terms
of the lineage direct from Muhammad ﷺ to
Ismail.
In the sahih, in the authentic hadith of
our beloved Prophet ﷺ, we have this confirmation
that indeed our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is
a descendant of Ismail.
But we only have those 20 grandfathers.
And of course, Ismail who came to Mecca
when he was an infant.
Sayyidah Hajar brought Ismail to Mecca when he
was a baby.
And Nabi Ibrahim left him there.
Sayyidah Hajar asked Nabi Ibrahim, Did Allah tell
you to do this?
He said yes.
She said, In that case he will not
forsake us.
And Nabi Ibrahim went a little bit to
the Bat'ha of Mecca and he made
that dua.
That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, that he
must send, He must send hearts, meaning people.
He must send people towards them.
And grant them of sustenance, of fruits.
In order that they can have some ma
'isha, some sustenance in Mecca.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala answered that
dua in the form of a tribe by
the name of Jurhum.
The tribe of Jurhum, which at the time
was ruling in parts of Hijaz.
They then moved to Mecca.
And they found Sayyidah Hajar and Ismail, they
found him in Mecca.
This is the tribe of Jurhum.
And the chief of the tribe of Jurhum,
his name was Mudad Ibn Amr Al-Jurhumi.
His daughter Ramla married Nabi Ismail.
And that's where the Arab connection comes in.
Because our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
is considered to be from the Arabized Arabs.
Why?
Because Ismail, from whom he descends, wasn't an
Arab.
Ethnically speaking.
In terms of lisan, that is something different.
But in terms of his ethnicity, Ismail a
.s. was the son of Ibrahim.
And Ibrahim was from the Arameans.
He was from the Arameans.
He spoke Aramea.
He spoke Aramaic.
Ibn Hazm says he spoke Syriania, which is
a form of Aramaic.
And Nabi Ibrahim came from Mesopotamia.
Mesu, which means in between.
Potamia, which means the two rivers.
So in between the two rivers.
That is where Nabi Ibrahim came from.
Ur, and then Haran to Kanaan.
And then from Kanaan to Egypt.
Back to Kanaan with Hajar and Sara.
Left Sara in Kanaan and took Hajar and
Ismail and left them in Mecca.
So the first contact with Hajar was of
course, she was from the Aqabat.
Aqabat, that is where the word Egypt comes
from.
Egypt.
She was an Egyptian.
In some narration she was actually a Coptic
princess.
That was taken as a slave by one
of the Jababir, one of the tyrannical pharaohs.
Who then gifted her to Sara.
After Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made him
lame when he tried to touch Sara.
So Nabi Ibrahim leaves Sayyidah Hajar and Ismail
in Mecca.
The tribe of Jurhum comes up and settles
in Mecca.
And in the Hadith in Bukhari, that Ismail
was 14 years of age.
He learned Arabic from the tribe of Jurhum.
But the tribe of Jurhum, what type of
Arabic were they speaking?
They were speaking Al-Arabiyya Saba'iya, Sabaic
Arabic.
Not the Arabic of the Qur'an.
Who was the first person to speak Arabic
as we know it in the Qur'an?
Qur'anic Arabic.
Classical Arabic.
According to Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani, who has
written the best commentary.
Most famous and accepted commentary on Sahih Bukhari.
He writes in his Fathul Bari.
He quotes a Hadith of Sayyidina Ali ibn
Abi Talib.
أول من فتق على لسانه اللغة العربية المبينة.
Ismail.
The first person to speak Qur'anic Arabic.
The clear Arabic, Sayyidina Ali says.
المبينة.
The perfect Arabic.
Is Nabi Ismail.
In fact, if you listen to Sabaic Arabic,
it sounds very similar to a Semitic language
in Ethiopia.
Called Amharic.
Amharic.
Another one is Ge'ez.
And there's another language in Oman that is
spoken by a tribe called Al-Mahriya.
They still speak this Semitic Southern Arabian language.
Which would have been very similar to the
language that the tribe of Jurhum spoke when
they came to Mecca.
So many things happened in between Nabi Ismail
and the birth of our beloved Prophet Muhammad.
One important thing that happened was that Jurhum
was eventually driven out of Mecca.
By the tribe of Khuza'a.
So first came Sayyidina Hajar and Ismail.
Then came the tribe of Jurhum.
Nabi Ismail marries Ramla, the daughter of the
chief of the tribe of Jurhum, and has
12 children.
From there, the tribe of Khuza'a, unrelated
to Jurhum, comes and drives Jurhum out of
Mecca.
And that's when the well of Zamzam was
lost.
They in fact buried some treasure.
Some of the treasures that they had that
they couldn't carry with them.
They buried it in the well of Zamzam
and they closed up the well of Zamzam.
And they left Mecca.
Khuza'a and the most prominent person, the
chief of Khuza'a, who is known to
be, unfortunately, is known to be the first
person of the Arabs to bring an idol
into the Kaaba.
His name was Amr ibn Luhai' Khuza'ai.
He brought the idol of Hubal.
The Moabites.
If you look at the Jordan River, next
to Palestine.
Then on the east side of the Jordan
River, in the north was the Ammonites.
Then the Moabites and the Edomites.
The Moabites gave the idol of Hubal to
Amr ibn Luhai' Khuza'ai.
And he brought it and he put it
in the Kaaba.
This is round about the 4th or the
5th century.
So it wasn't 150, 200 plus years that
when Muhammad ﷺ was born, there was plus
minus 360 idols in and around and around
the Kaaba.
So the tribe of Jorhum, driven out by
Khuza'a.
Then Khuza'a was eventually driven out by
an individual by the name of Qusay.
Qusay.
Now Qusay is the first person of Quraysh,
from the lineage of Quraysh.
The first Qurayshi to come and live in
Mecca.
Qusay's father, Kilab, lived on the outskirts of
Mecca.
But he did not live inside Mecca.
Khuza'a was controlling Mecca after Jorhum.
So the first person from the tribe of
Quraysh to take over Mecca was this individual
by the name of Qusay.
In actual fact his name wasn't Qusay, his
name was Zayd.
Excuse me.
His name was Zayd.
But they called him Qusay because his mother
took him away from his father when he
was a young boy and went to go
and live in Sham.
In greater Syria.
And that's where this word Qusay comes from.
لِقَصْوِهِ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ Because of him being distanced
from his family.
That's why his name was Qusay.
So let us look at the nasib of
the Prophet ﷺ.
These 20 grandfathers that the ulama agree on.
قَالَ الْحَفْظِ الْإِرَاقِ فِي أَلْفِيَةِ السِّرَةِ النَّبُوِيَةِ فَهُوَ
بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَبْدُ الْمُطْطَلِبِ أَبُوهُ وَهُوَ شَيْبَةَ
الْحَمْدِ نُسِبًا أَبُوهُ عَمْرٌ هَاشِمٌ وَالْجَدُّ عَبَدُ مُنَافِبٌ
قُسَيٍّ زَيْدُ We'll just take it to there.
We'll take it to there inshallah ta'ala.
So he is Muhammad ﷺ, the son of
Abdullah.
And Abdullah is the son of Abdul-Muttalib.
And Abdul-Muttalib is the son of Hashim.
And Hashim is the son of Abdul-Munaf.
And Abdul-Munaf is the son of Qusay.
Right.
So Qusay, whose name was Zayd, the son
of Kilab.
He drove Khuza'a out of Mecca.
He took over Mecca.
And he brought his uncle Taym.
He brought his uncle Taym.
Sayyidina Abu Bakr was from Bani Taym.
And he brought his cousin Mahzum.
Mahzum, the son of Yaqaba.
So Kilab had three sons.
Qusay, Zayd, Taym, and Yaqaba.
So when he came, and this is what
you call Butun Quraysh.
These were the main families.
And then of course he brought his three
sons as well.
So Qusay had three sons.
Abdul-Munaf, Abdul-Dar, and Abdul-Uzza.
These are the three sons of Qusay.
And Qusay is the first person to build
houses in Mecca.
Before, how did the Arabs live?
They lived in tents around the Kaaba.
Qusay is the first one to actually build
houses.
Mud brick houses around the Kaaba.
And he's the first person to put a
roof on the Kaaba.
There wasn't a roof on the Kaaba.
He wasn't the first one to put a
kiswa on.
Anybody know who was the first person to
put a kiswa on the Kaaba?
Was a king from Yemen by the name
of Tubba.
As Allah mentions in the Quran, Qawmu Tubba.
Tubba was the first person to put a
kiswa on the Kaaba.
So Qusay settles in Mecca.
And he is responsible now, his family, the
family of Qusay, is responsible for the Sidana,
Rifada, Siqaya.
What is the other one?
Sidana, Rifada, Siqaya.
Rifada is food.
Sidana is basically the person who looks after
the Kaaba, who has the keys to the
Kaaba, cleans the Kaaba, takes care of the
Kaaba.
The Siqaya is the one who gives the
pilgrims, the Hujjaj, water.
Rifada, oh and Nadwa.
Remember these four now.
And these four still exist today.
These four still exist today.
From the time of Qusay up till now,
there's these four, what can we call them?
Four entities of responsibility.
Four types of responsibility.
First one, Sidana.
What's Sidana?
Looking after the Kaaba itself.
So that includes holding the keys to the
Kaaba, making sure the Kaaba is cleaned, making
sure the kiswa is put on.
When is it put on?
When the Hujjaj are on?
On Arafah.
That is Sidana tul Kaaba.
The keys and the maintenance of the Kaaba.
Then Siqaya, Zamzam.
Making sure that the pilgrims have water.
Rifada, food.
In those days maybe they got free food.
Not today.
And Nadwa.
What is a Nadwa?
Nadwa was where the chieftains of Quraysh, where
they used to have their meetings.
Those were the four houses of responsibility.
So Qusay, he basically became the chief of
the tribe of Quraysh in Makkah al-Mukarram.
His son, Abd al-Manaf, Abd al-Dar,
and Abd al-Uzza.
They then were the inheritors of these houses
of responsibility.
Insha'Allah I am not going to make
this too long.
So insha'Allah I will stop now and
we will continue tomorrow night.
I see people are going home.
The wife is waiting and wants a delicious
supper.
So insha'Allah.
Barakallahu feekum.
Wa akhilu da'wana ala alhamdulillahi rabbil alamin.
