Last Sermon of Messenger of Allah

(Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)

This sermon was delivered on the Ninth Day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H. in the 'Uranah
valley of Mount Arafat' (in Mecca).

"O people! Listen to my word, for I do not think that I and you will meet again in
this place and perform Hajj together after this year. O people! Allah (swt) says
"We created you from one male and female and made you into tribes and, so
as to be known to one another. Surely the noblest among you in the sight of
Allah is he who is the most righteous." (49:13)
Your Lord (Rabb) is one and your father Adam is one who was fashioned out of
clay. An Arab has no superiority over an Ajami (non-Arab) nor an Ajami over an
Arab. Similarly neither a red coloured person is superior to a black coloured
one nor a black coloured one to red coloured one, but for their Taqwa (fear of
God)." He further added that "every claim of privilege whether that of blood
and property belongs to pre-Islamic period and is under my feet". As the
Prophet concluded his sermon from Jabal Ar Rahmah (Mount Mercy) in the
plains of Arafat that the verse relating to the perfection of the Deen was
revealed to him: "Today I have perfected your religion for you, completed my
favour upon you and approved al-Islam as a Deen (way of Life) for you." (5:3).

"Indeed Allah conferred a great favour on the believers that He
raised among them (the most eminent) Messenger (blessings
and peace be upon him) from among themselves who recites to
them His Revelations, purifies them and educates them on the
Book and Wisdom though, before that, they were in manifest
error".(Chapter 3:164)

All praises to the ALLAH Almighty who has enlightened all

aspects pertaining to existence by means of leader of the
messengers (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
and has erased the darkness of falsehood by light of truth
and guided the human race onto the open path of truth,
when it was wandering through the narrow tunnels of
misguidance. I praise only him, with praise which is
countless, holy and pure and which shall fill all corners of
earth and sky, and I witness that there is no God but
ALLAH and He is one with no partners and is sustainer of
all creations from beginning to end, and I witness that
Holy Prophet MUHAMMAD (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH
be upon him) is his servant and messenger, and is most
beloved of ALLAH Almighty, and has been appointed and
sent upon all the creations as mercy, glide tiding for
believers and fear warner for disbelievers, leader of the
pious people and savior of the sinners on the day of
judgment .

May ALLAH's blessings and blessings be upon the Holy

Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him), his
holy family and holy companions till the day of judgment
and May ALLAH Almighty be convinced with them.
This book is a brief description of holy birth of Prophet
(Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) in the light of
collection of authentic ahadeeth collection that are
narrated, approved and liked by great scholars and
Imams of hadith and Islamic sciences of early ages.
The lineage of Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings
of ALLAH be upon him) is as follows:
Abul Qasim, MUHAMMAD son of Abdullah son of AbdulMutallib son of Hashim son of Abd Munaaf son of Qusay
son of Kilab son of Murrah son of Ka`ab son of Luway son
of Ghalib son of Fahrr son of Maalik son of Nazar son of
Kinana son of Khuzaima son of Mudrika son of Ilyas son of
Muzar son of Nizaar son of Ma'add son of Adnan (1)
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
the supreme leader of entire human race has honored the
holy city of Makkah as his birthplace and has honored the
holy city of Madinah by migrating there and choosing it as
his final resting place. May ALLAH's mercy and blessings
be upon him whenever those who love and remember him
and send blessings upon him and whenever those who are
forgetful forget sending blessings upon him.

most respected & supreme among all the tribes of the

Arabs.
Almighty ALLAH revealed to Hazrath Abdul Mutallib (May
ALLAH be pleased with him) in his dream about the
location where the well of holy water Zam Zam was
situated. This place was clearly visible during the times of
Prophet Ismail (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon
him) and his children. Since the place was leveled by Banu
Jarham while they were migrating from the holy city of
Makkah, the tribe of Banu Khiza`ah who became the
custodian of holy haram after 500 years of Banu jarham's
departure were not aware of the location of the well of
holy water Zam Zam.

His great grandfather Adnan was from the family of

Prophet Ismail (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon
him) who was son of Holy Prophet Ibrahim (Peace &
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him). His grandfather Abdul
Mutallib son of Hashim was the leader of tribe of Quraish,
the custodian of holy haram, and was highly respected.
The tribe of Quraish who had the distinction of belonging
to the family of Prophet Ismail (Alaihis Salaam) was the

The location of well of holy water Zam Zam was revealed

to Hazrath Abdul Mutallib (May ALLAH be pleased with
him) in his dream he immediately decided to dig the place
but all the people of Quraish rejected his idea except his
son Hazrath Haarith who helped him to accomplish this
task. Finally when the digging was over Hazrath Abdul
Mutallib (May ALLAH be pleased with him) could figure out
the location of Zam Zam well and during the digging work
he found the ornaments which were offered as gift to holy
Ka`abah by ancient people. When the people of Quraish
saw this they were highly impressed with Abdul Mutallib
(May ALLAH be pleased with him) and his determination
and accepted his piety and confirmed that ALLAH
Almighty has rewarded him with bounty and blessings (2)
After this incident Abdul Mutallib (May ALLAH be pleased
with him) made a wish that if he is blessed with 10
children he will sacrifice one of the child in the path of
ALLAH Almighty. Very soon he was blessed with 10
children & according to his wish he decided to pick one of
them for sacrifice by means of a draw. The draw revealed
the name of Abdullah (May ALLAH be pleased with him)
holy father of Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH

be upon him) and Abdul Mutallib (May ALLAH be pleased

with him) was ready to complete his wish by sacrificing
Abdullah (May ALLAH be pleased with him) holy father of
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon
him), but the people of Quraish persuaded him to change
his decision and finally he agreed to sacrifice 100 camels
instead (3) as described in detail in my book " As-Seerathun-Nabaweeyah".
After few years Abdul Mutallib (May ALLAH be pleased
with him) married his son Abdullah (May ALLAH be
pleased with him) to the most respected and noble lady
from the tribe of Banu Zuhra and her name was Aamenah
(May ALLAH be pleased with her) daughter of Wahab son
of Abd Munaf (4) and thus Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) arrived in his mother's
womb.
MUHAMMAD son of Ishaaq son of Yassaar says that
Hazratha Aamena (May ALLAH be pleased with her) used
to say that when Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of
ALLAH be upon him) arrived in her womb she was told in
her dreams that "The leader of the Muslim ummah is in
your womb and when he is born you should say .." (5)
And that the sign of his birth will be that with his birth
there will be a bright light which will spread such that
streets of city of Busrah in the distant Syria will be
illuminated and when he is born you name him as
"MUHAMMAD", in holy books of Torah and Injeel (Bible) he
is referred by name "Ahmed", and the entire creations of
earth and skies will praise him (6)
Thor bin Yazeed who has reported on authority of Khalid
bin Ma`adaan narrates to me that:"The companions of
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
have reported that they asked the holy messenger of

ALLAH (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) to

describe about his personality and he described himself as
follows:
"I am the supplication of my father Ibrahim (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) and glad tiding of Isa
(Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) when I
arrived in the womb of my mother I saw a light which
originated from her and which illuminated the city of
Busrah located in the county of Syria" (7)
It is reported by Abu Umama Bahali (RA) who says that he
requested the Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of
ALLAH be upon him) that : Oh Messenger of ALLAH (Peace
and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) you describe to me
about the beginning of your appearance and he replied: "
I am the supplication of my father Ibrahim (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) and glad tiding of Isa
(Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) when I
arrived in the womb of my mother I saw a light which
originated from her and which illuminated the localities of
Syria " (8)
Urbaaz bin Saariya Salma reported that Holy Prophet
(Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: "That
indeed I was the last messenger and Prophet when Adam
(Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) was in the
stage of creation in the form of clay. I will inform you
about my beginning, I am the supplication of Hazrat
Ibrahim (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon
him),glide tiding of Isa (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be
upon him) and dream of my mother that she saw and this
is how mothers of believers see" (9).
It is reported by Hazrat Umar (May Allah be pleased with
him) that Adam (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon
him) said "Oh my ALLAH I ask you with the waseela of
MUHAMMAD (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)

to forgive me, and ALLAH Almighty asked in response:

How did you know MUHAMMAD (Peace and Blessings of
ALLAH be upon him) whereas I have not yet created him?
To which Adam (Alaihis Salaam) replied When you created
me with your hands and blew your soul into me I lifted my
head and saw "La Ilaha Illallah Muhammed ur
Rasoolullah" written on the foundation of Arsh and hence I
realized that you will inscribe the name of someone who is
your most beloved among all your creations". ALLAH
Almighty replied "Oh Adam you said the truth indeed he is
the most beloved to me amongst all my creations, and
since you have aksed for forgiveness with his waseela I
forgive you, if MUHAMMAD (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH
be upon him) was not created I would not have created
you as well".
The Description of holy Birth of Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him):
When Almighty ALLAH decided to reveal the existence of
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
and decided to provide guidance to every creation by the
light of Prophethood, and decided to have mercy on his
creations through the medium of Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) so that he brings all the
creations close to the oneness of their creator then the
pregnant holy mother of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings
of ALLAH be upon him) started getting labor pains on the
enlightened night of Sunday and as per the most
authentic commentaries this was the year of elephants
(Year when the incident of Ashab-e-feel took place).
According to the most famous reports of Ibne Ishaq The
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
was born in the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal (10) and scholars
of science of Seerah have always authenticated this to be
true.
It is reported in Sahih Muslim by Hazrat Abu Qatada
Ansari (May ALLAH be pleased with him) that the Holy

Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) was

asked about the day of Monday and he replied: "This is the
day on which I was born and on the same day the Wahi
was sent upon me" (11)
Ibne-e-Abbas (May ALLAH be pleased with him) reported
that: Your Prophet was born on Monday, he was given
Prophethood on Monday, he migrated on Monday and he
entered the holy city of Madinah on Monday. May peace
and blessings be upon him.(12)
It is reported by Ibrahim bin Manzar huzami (RA) : The
fact that none of our Aalims have doubt about is that Holy
Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) was
born in the year of elephants and forty years after this he
had declared his Prophethood.
Haafiz Baihaqi on his authority has reported by Usman bin
abu A`as Saqafi that he narrated: "My mother told me
that I was present in the house of Aamena bint-e-Wahab
(May ALLAH be pleased with her) on the night when Holy
Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) was
born, and every object in the house was highly illuminated
and when I saw stars coming close to me, I almost felt as if
they will fall on me".
Makhzoom bin Haani Makhzoomi narrated that his father
who was at the age of 150 years reported that: When the
night arrived in which Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings
of ALLAH be upon him) was born the palaces of Kisra
started shaking with a loud noise and 14 of its pillars fell
down. The fire of Faras extinguished on its own which was
continuously burning for the last 1000 years. The water of
Sawa (13) lake disappeared and it became completely
dry. And he described the dream of Mobzaan who was the
Qazi of fire worshippers who saw in his dream that brave
hearted camels were leading the Arabic horses and that
these camels had crossed the river Dajla and have speard
over the entire country of Faras. All fire worshippers and

10

kisra were frightened and the advisor of Kasra Noman

bin Manzar sent Abdul Masseh bin Baqeela Gussani to
Sateeh who was a great fortune teller living around Syria
so that he could explain this dream. When Abdul Masseh
reached Sateeh before he could say a word Sateeh
opened his eyes and said : Abdul Masseh you have
reached Sateeh after riding a fast running camel, and the
king of Banu Sasaan had sent you, due to shacking of
palaces of kisra, fire getting extinguished and because of
the dream of Mobzan, he has seen brave hearted camels
were leading the Arabic horses and that these camels had
crossed the river Dajla and had speard over the entire
country of Faras" he further added "Oh Abdul Masseh
when the people of faith become majority and person with
Asa (stick) appears and valley of Samawah starts flooding
and Sawa lake becomes dry, fire of Faras is extinguished
then Syria will not remain Syria of Sateeh and it will have
as many kings as there are houses, and whatever is bound
to happen will happen and Sateeh got up from his place
(14)
This dream was a warning that the kingdom of rulers of
Iran will end and their kingdom will become an Islamic
state and Arabs will enter Iran and it became true later as
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
said : "When Qaisar will die there will not be another
Qaisar and when Kisra will die there will not be another
Kisra and I swear by ALLAH in whose custody is my life
you will spend wealth of both Qaisar and Kisra in the path
of ALLAH" (15)
The essence of describing previous passages is to
conclude that the night when Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) was born, it was a
blessing for believers. It was a pure and holy night whose
light was evident enough and it deserves to be valued and
respected. It was in this night that Almighty ALLAH

11

revealed the impeccable personality of Holy Prophet

(Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) whose Noor
kept travelling from one pious person to another and this
chain of transmission of Noor of Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) started from Prophet
Adam (Alaihis Salaam) and ended with Abdullah bin Abul
Mutallib (May ALLAH be pleased with him), and this Noor
further transmitted from Hazrat Abullah (May ALLAH be
pleased with him) to Hazratha Aamena bint-e-Wahab
(May ALLAH be pleased with her), and finally Holy Prophet
(Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) was born on
this respectable and blessed night.
The various aspects of events that occurred during the
birth of Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be
upon him) kept everyone astonished and amazed and
these have been described in the books of hadith.
Muhammed bin Ishaq has described many distinctive
features of birth of Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of
ALLAH be upon him) one of them is that he was born with
his umbilical cord detached from his mother and he was
already circumcised and soon after his birth he fell down
into prostration before ALLAH. As per the custom of that
time a few women covered him (Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)) with a pot made up of
stones but the pot overturned and the women saw that his
(Prophet) eyes are open and he is staring at the sky.
The women informed about these events to his
grandfather Abdul Mutallib (May ALLAH be pleased with
him), since his father had passed away before his birth.
His grandfather Abdul Mutallib (May ALLAH be pleased
with him) told the women to safeguard this new born baby
and that he has great expectations with this boy who will
have great dignity, honor and luck.
Abdul Mutallib (May ALLAH be pleased with him)

12

performed Aqeeqa of Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings

of ALLAH be upon him) on the seventh day after his birth
and invited the people of Quraish. After the food the
people of Quraish asked Abdul Mutalib as to what name he
has chosen for the new born boy? And he replied that: "I
have named him 'MUHAMMAD'", to which the people
asked him as to why he ignored names from his family for
this new born boy. Abdul Mutallib (May ALLAH be pleased
with him) said:" I wish that ALLAH praises this boy on sky
and creations of ALLAH praise him on the earth hence I
chose this name".
The scholars say that ALLAH had informed Abdul Mutallib
(May ALLAH be pleased with him) to choose the name
'MUHAMMAD' for Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of
ALLAH be upon him) since this name is a combination of
all attributes that are worthy of praise, and such that his
holy name matches his highest character and noble
attributes. As his uncle Abu Taalib said:" In order to honor
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
with dignity and piety ALLAH has associated Prophet's
name to his name and that ALLAH the owner of Arsh is
Mehmood and Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of
ALLAH be upon him) is MUHAMMAD (Peace and Blessings
of ALLAH be upon him)".

Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him) who said that

messenger of ALLAH (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be
upon him) said: "Keep names on my name but do not
adopt my title". (17)
It is recorded by Tirmidhi that Prophet of ALLAH (Peace
and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: "Do not
combine my name and title, I am Abul-Qasim, ALLAH
gives Rizq and I distribute". (18)
Imam Ahmed (May ALLAH be pleased with him) has
reported on authority of Anas (May ALLAH be pleased with
him) who said: When Ibrahim bin Maria (May ALLAH be
pleased with him) was born Jibrael (Alaihis Salaam) came
to The Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be
upon him) and said: "Ya Aba Ibrahim peace and blessings
be upon you". (19)

It is recorded by Bukhari and Muslim and reported by Abu

Description of Fostering of Holy Prophet (Peace and

Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
The first person to foster the Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) was Thuwaiba (May
ALLAH be pleased with her) the slave girl of Abu Lahab.
She only had given the good news of Prophet's birth to
Abu Lahab and was freed by him in reward. After the
death of Abu Lahab, Abbas bin Abdul Mutallib (May ALLAH
be pleased with him) saw Abu Lahab in his dream in a very
bad condition and asked him what did he get? Abu Lahab
replied after getting separated from you I have received
nothing except water which flows from this finger of mine
from which I had freed Thuwaiba (May Allah be pleased
with her) and he pointed to his finger (20)
When Thuwaiba (May Allah be pleased with her) slave girl
of Abu Lahab fostered Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings
of ALLAH be upon him) with her milk, It benefited Abu
Lahab due to which he was supplied with water after his
death inspite of the fact that Abu Lahab is the same

In Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim a hadith of Imam Zahri

is recorded which is reported by Muhammad bin Muta`m
bin Jubair and who reported from his father who said: I
have heard Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH
be upon him) saying that I have many names. I am
MUHAMMAD, I am Ahmed, I am Mahi, by me ALLAH will
abolish Kufr, I am Hashir as people will be gathered near
my feet and that I am Aaqib as there is no Prophet after
me (16)

person who has been condemned by an entire Surah of

Holy Quran.
Suhaili and others have reported that Abu Lahab told his
brother Abbas bin Abdul Mutallib in his dream that : Every
Monday my punishment is reduced (21)

Description of Haleema Sa`adiya's Fostering of

Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be
upon him):
Ibne-e-Ishaq reported on authority of Jahem Ibne Abu
Jahem who reported on authority of a person who heard
Abdullah bin Ja`fer saying: The narrator has described
about Haleema bint-e-Abu Zoyeb and a group of other
women who came to Makkah. These women used to visit
the holy city of Makkah every year in search of infants who
were in need of breast feeding. According to the custom of
that time the people of Makkah used to send their infants
with the women to different villages so that they can be
fostered and brought up in more natural and healthy
weather. The area of Banu Sa`ad was the most popular for
this purpose.

Hazrath Haleema (May ALLAH be pleased with her)

narrates that there was no woman in our group who was
given the offer to foster the Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) but they all rejected the
offer thinking that he is an orphan, in fact we used to
expect a good amount of money in return from the father
of the infant who we used to foster. When I did not get any
other infant to feed I chose to feed the Holy Prophet
(Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) and brought
him near my camel and realized that the milk started
flowing in my chest and I fed the Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) until his thirst was
quenched, and then I fed his foster brother as well until he
was satisfied. Very soon when my husband went near our
weak and old she camel he saw that the she camel has got
enough milk in her breasts, looking at this my husband
told me that: "Oh Haleema, I swear to ALLAH that you
have a noble and dignified infant with you". Haleema (May
ALLAH be pleased with her) describes that, "we all
started returning towards our village and realized that our
animal is running very fast whereas it was very weak and
could not run properly before this day and other women
travelling praised Haleema saying she has become a
dignified women now". Haleema (May ALLAH be pleased
with her) further narrates that, "we finally reached the
area of Banu Sa`ad and which according to me was the
most barren land, however when my goats and animals
used to go for grazing they would return with their
stomach full in the evening, and we would get enough
milk from our animals. On the other hand the goats and
animals of other neighbors used to return hungry in the
evening and would not have even a single drop of milk in
their breasts. The neighbors used to curse their
Shepherds that the animals of Haleema gaze very well
and that they should send their animals along with
animals of Haleema. The shepherds started sending their
animals along with our animals for grazing but others

Scholars have described that the reason for reduction in

punishment of Abu Lahab as: "He had freed Thuwaiba
(RA) the very moment she had given the good news of
birth of Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be
upon him) and hence every time this moment arrives his
punishment is reduced". The Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: "Thuwaiba has
fostered me and Abu Salma hence do not offer your
daughters and sisters to me for marriage" (22).
It is reported in Sahih Bukhari by Urwah (May Allah be
pleased with him) and he said: Thuwaiba was slave girl of
Abu Lahab who was freed by him and hence she fostered
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
with her milk. (23)

animals would still return hungry without a drop of milk in

their breasts and our animals would return fully satisfied
and with breasts full of milk. ALLAH Almighty kept
showering his grace on us and two years passed and it
was strange to see the Holy Prophet was growing very fast
as compared to other children of his age and he was very
healthy and strong at the age of two. After this we took
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
to his mother and took her permission to bring him back
with us for another few months".
"One day Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be
upon him) was playing with his foster brother behind our
house with lambs and suddenly his foster brother came
running to us and said: You know that two men in white
dress came to the Quraishi brother, they made him lie
down and they have cut open his stomach.

Hazrat Aamena (May ALLAH be pleased with her)

enquired: "What is the real problem? Can you please
reveal the truth". And when she insisted, we described the
entire episode which occurred with her beloved son. After
listening to this she replied: "You are frightened by devil
for my son? I swear by ALLAH indeed devil cannot reach
my son. My son is a very dignified person, if you are
curious I can describe about my son", and we replied
saying: "Please do describe about the attributes of your
son to us". Hazrat Aamena (May ALLAH be pleased with
her) said: When I conceived the Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him), my pregnancy was
extremely light weight and I saw a dream in which a very
strange light originated from me which illuminated the
palaces of Syria, and during the time of his birth he was
unlike any other child born in this world, he took support
of his own hands and had lifted his head to the sky. Hence
you leave him on his own". (24)

Haleema narrates that after listening to this, me and my

husband went running to the Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) and saw that he is
standing and his face has become pale. My husband
embraced him and asked, "What happened my son"? And
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
replied, "two men in white dress came to me they made
me lie down, they cut opened my stomach and took out
something from inside and threw it away and brought my
stomach to its original form". We heard this and brought
him back home. My husband told me: "Oh Haleema, I am
afraid that if this child is affected by some evil force and let
us go and return this child back to his people". We took
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
back to his mother. She asked, "why you have brought
him back whereas you were very keen on keeping him
with you". We replied that, "we are afraid that something
wrong might happen to his life and we are worried hence
we brought him back".

Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) narrates that

he used to observe the marks of the stitching on Holy
Prophet's chest (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon
him). It is reported by Bukhari, Muslim and others that

17

18

It is reported by Sahih Muslim that Holy Prophet (Peace

and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) was playing with
children in his childhood and Jibrael (Alaihis Salaam)
came to him and made him lie down on his back and cut
opened his chest and took out his heart, from his heart
Jibrael (Alaihis Salaam) separated a small clot of blood
and said this part belongs to devil, his heart was then
placed in a golden plate and was washed with Zam Zam
water and it was restored back on its original place. The
children came running to his foster mother and said that
MUHAMMAD (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
has been killed. When people came to him they saw that
he has become pale. (25)

Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him), Hazrat Abu

Zar and Hazrat Malik bin Sa`asa`a (May Allah be pleased
with them) have narrated a hadith on the topic of Asra and
Mairaj and have described that even during the night of
Mairaj the chest of Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of
ALLAH be upon him) was cut open, may ALLAH's mercy
and blessings be upon him (26)
In conclusion the fostering of Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) by the women of Banu
Sa`ad in particular and in general for other tribes was an
act of grace for all of them. In particular when the battle of
Hunain happened the women of Banu Sa`ad become the
prisoners of war and were brought to Holy Prophet (Peace
and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him). They pleaded for
mercy to the Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH
be upon him) and asked for a favor in return for fostering
the Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon
him) and Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be
upon him) demonstrated an act of great generosity and
mercy upon these people. When people of Banu Sa`ad
embraced Islam one of them pleaded to Holy Prophet
(Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him): "We are
related and associated with you and Oh Messenger of
ALLAH the difficult situation we are facing is not hidden
from you hence we request you to have mercy on us . The
spokesperson of Banu Sa`ad Zuhair bin Suru stood up
and said "Oh messenger of ALLAH in the crowd of
prisoners of war there are women who are your aunts and
those who fostered you, who were responsible for your
upbringing during your infant age, If we had fostered
Harith bin abi shamar or Noman Bin Manzar and would
have faced similar situation which we are facing with you,
we would have expected fair dealing and mercy from
them, and that you are better in dealings and
guardianship than these men, after this he recited poetry
in which he requested Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings

19

of ALLAH be upon him) for mercy and described

upbringing and fostering of Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) by his tribe. When Holy
Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
heard these submissions he replied: "Whatever is my
share and share of Banu Hashim in this wealth it belong to
you and ALLAH and believers shouted "whatever is our
share, it belongs to ALLAH and his Messenger"
Many Scholars of Seerah have written that the number of
prisoners from Banu Sa`ad were about six thousand.
Abul-Hasan Farasi Laghawi says that: The amount of
wealth which was returned back to Banu Sa`ad was worth
about fifty crore dirhams
Description of Physical attributes & Noble
character of Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of
ALLAH be upon him):
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
had moderate height neither very tall nor very short, his
complexion was neither very fair nor very wheatish, his
hairs was neither very curly nor very straight. When he
departed from this world his age had crossed sixty and
there were less than twenty white hairs in his head and
beard (27)
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
had a big head, round face, black eyes, long eye brows,
soft cheeks and big mouth. His face used to glitter like a
full moon and he had a dense beard. Holy Prophet (Peace
and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) had seal of
Prophethood between his both shoulders, there was good
enough distance between his shoulders and his hairs used
to touch his shoulders and sometimes his hairs would
reach up to his ears. He used to comb his hairs and create
partition between them, His shoulders, arms and upper
chest had hairs. He had long hands, broad palms and feet,
fat fingers, and chest and stomach was aligned. His open

20

body parts were bright and shining. He had very little flesh
on hips. He used to walk leaning forward as if he is coming
downhill or as if the earth has been folded for him.
It is reported by Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with
him) that: We used to struggle to walk along with Holy
Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) and
he used to walk comfortably without any concern (28)
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
used to wear cloths which would cover his entire body. He
liked wearing Shirt, trouser and woolen or Yemeni shawl.
Sometimes he would wear jubbah (overcoat) with tight
sleeves. He would cover his head with Amama (turbun)
which would also cover half of his face. He would also use
Shawl and Tehbund. He never rejected any halal food and
never felt shy for food and clothes.
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
was always very brave and soft spoken and was matchless
in generosity, truthfulness. His holy companions say:
Whenever war would be at its peak we would take shelter
of Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon
him) (29)
During the war of Hunain when the companions of Holy
Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
dispersed and backed out, only about 100 companions
were left out. The numbers of enemies were in thousands
and were fully prepared with arms, arrows and swords.
Despite this situation Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings
of ALLAH be upon him) was courageously taking his horse
in front of enemies and would proclaim his name and
would say:"I am the Prophet and this is not false and I am
the son of Abdul Mutalib". This was due to the fact that
Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
had complete faith and confidence in ALLAH Almighty and
his help, guidance, promises and was determinant to take

21

the message of ALLAH to its culmination of success.

Indeed believers were helped by ALLAH, the enemies
were crushed and were brought as prisoners along with
their children, and the holy companions returned and
brought the enemies as prisoners with their hands and
feet cuffed in chains and they were presented before Holy
Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him).
The generosity of Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of
ALLAH be upon him) was matchless and he would never
say no to anyone. Whatever he used to get something he
preferred spending on others and never kept anything
deposited for him.
Hazrat Ayesha (May ALLAH be pleased with her) was
asked about the character of Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) and she replied "His
character was nothing else but Holy Quran" (30)
Many scholars described the meaning of this as:
Whatever has been told in Holy Quran to follow the
Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him)
would follow the same and whatever has been told in Holy
Quran to refrain from the Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) would stay away from it.
Whatever has been advised He would lead in doing that
and whatever has been abstained He would stay away
from it more than anyone else
ALLAH Almighty says in Holy Quran:
Noon (Only ALLAH and the Messenger [blessings and
peace be upon him] know the real meaning.) By the pen
and by that (subject) which (the angels) writes down. (O
Esteemed Beloved!) By the Grace of your Lord you are not
(at all) insane,and assuredly for you there is a reward that
will never end, and assuredly you are placed high on the
Most Glorious and Exalted (seat of) Character (i.e.
adorned with the Quranic morality and endowed with the
character traits of ALLAH). (Surah Al-Qalam: 1-4)

22

Many scholars of early ages have said that, this means

that Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon
him) is on the most superior deen.
Abdullah bin Salam says : "When the Messenger of
ALLAH came to Madinah I was among those who
maintained distance with him, but when I saw your holy
face I realized this face cannot be of a liar and the first
speech which I heard from the Holy Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) was this : "Oh people,
cultivate the habit of passing salutations on each other,
feed people, be merciful with others, and when people
sleep in the night you offer prayers, and thus you
peacefully enter the heavens".(31)
The Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon
him) had noble attributes and character from his birth till
declaration of his Prophethood and until he passed away.
He demonstrated noble attributes such as truthfulness,
safeguarding the wealth of others, mercy, piety, bravery,
night awaking, obedient to ALLAH in every situation,
abundance of knowledge, oratory, love, affection, helpful
to needy, sympathetic to orphans, widows and helpless.
Moreover he had attractive and charming appearance,
most beautiful face and smile. He was from the most
respectful and supreme family, his family and lineage was
the supreme on earth and was given highest respect due
to its association with the holy city and country. ALLAH
Almighty says: ALLAH knows best where he has to keep
his Prophethood. The Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings
of ALLAH be upon him) said "ALLAH Almighty chose Ismail
(Alaihis Salaam) from the children of Ibrahim (Alaihis
Salaam), chose Banu Kanana from Banu Ismail, chose
Quraish from Banu Kanana, chose Banu Hashim from
Quairsh and chose me from Banu Hashim". (32)

23

Hakim has reported in his Mustadrak on authority of Ibne

e Umar (May ALLAH be pleased with him): ALLAH has
created seven skies and chose the highest sky, and then
inhibited his chosen creations in it, and then He created all
creations, and chose Banu Aadam, and chose Arabs from
Banu Adam, chose Muzar from Arabs, chose Quraish from
Muzar, chose Banu Hashim from Quersh and chose me
from Banu Hashim. Indeed I am chosen among the
chosen ones. Hence those who loved Arabs loved them for
love towards me, and those who hate Arabs hated them
due to hatred towards me.
Hakim (May ALLAH be pleased with him) has reported on
authority of Hazrat Ayesha (May ALLAH be pleased with
her), She reported that Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings
of ALLAH be upon him) has told : Jibrail (Alaihis Salaam)
told me that I have searched from east to west of the
earth but no one is as supreme as the Holy Prophet(Peace
and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) and I have searched
the entire east to west of the earth but could not find a
family or lineage more supreme than Banu Hashim.
Hafiz Baihaqi says that previous hadith of Wasala bin
alasqa`a is a proof of the authenticity of these narrations.
The uncle of Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH
be upon him) Abu Talib was following his old religion but
used to defend and support him. Ibne e Ishaq has
reported a part of his poetry which means; If people of
Quraish gather to feel proud of them they will be proud of
Banu Abd-e-Munaf, because they are the true
representatives of Quraish, and if you see in Banu Abd-eMunaf you will find Banu Hashim to be the most noble and
respectful. And if Banu Hashim has to be proud of them for
them there is the holy personality of Muhammed (Peace
and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him) who is the chosen
one from Banu Hashim, the most pious among them and
representative of their noble attributes.
