Summary

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now continues to shed light on the Conquest of Mecca and we move forward from the Prophet ﷺ arrival at Mecca. Meanwhile, a sahaba named Hatib ibn Abi Balta'ah warns the Quraysh about the advent of the Prophet ﷺ into Mecca. Who is Hatib? He was a mawla from Yemen and now to one of the Quraysh. He had written a letter to the Quraysh which bore the same message and he asked one of the ladies to deliver this letter across in utmost secrecy. The Prophet ﷺ was informed of this development when Allah sent Jibreel AS with the information. The Prophet ﷺ in turn appointed Zubair ibn Awwam and Ali ibn Abi Talib to retrieve the letter from the lady. When his plan is exposed, Hatib is brought in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and we realise the actual reason behind Hatib committing such a shameful act. Be sure to be mesmerised by the response of the Prophet ﷺ to this. There are numerous points of wisdom that is imparted via the story of Hatib and some of them can be enlisted below: The supreme knowledge of Allah SWT which overrides everything else that you might possibly know. The power of Dua. We have to put effort before we place our trust and belief in Allah. Only then can we be assured of help. The humanity of the Sahaba. The trait of forgiveness in the Prophet ﷺ is insurmountable. The importance of verifying reports before acting upon it.

0:00.0	This audio is brought to you by Muslim Central.com. You're not going to. Thank you. In today's lesson we will continue from where we left off regarding the conquest of
0:36.7	Mecca and we had mentioned that the Prophet Allah Allah O' Allah Allah Allah al-Ahi was said him did not inform anybody where he was heading until the very last minute.
0:46.3	And probably the day before or two days before we don't know exactly when, he told them
0:51.7	that okay we're heading to Mecca because you have to tell them
0:54.0	eventually they have to leave the city, they have to prepare, they need to know they're
0:57.4	going to face a battle, possibly. So he tells them that they're heading towards Mecca.
1:02.8	Now, what happens one of the Sahaba,
1:07.0	one of the Sahaba by the name of Haatibibibin Abib al-Tah,
1:11.5	decides to warn the Khoraih the Prophet of Islam is coming.
1:15.0	And this story will take up the bulk, maybe even the entire of our Syria today,
1:20.0	because it is a very, very significant story, a story that has a lot of benefits, and a
1:26.7	story that is used today in a very political manner. A lot of controversy exists to this day about interpreting the story of
1:36.5	Halibb and Abibil. So who is Halib and what happened? Halib, according to the strongest opinion, was a Moala from Yemen and a
1:47.4	Moala is somebody that would have an immigrant status. A Moala is somebody that has an immigrant status. A maula is somebody that has an immigrant status.
1:56.3	And he was a maula to one of the Khorashis. And what this means was he has a second-class citizenship in Mecca.
2:04.5	And he had converted to Islam and he had emigrated to Medina.
2:09.5	But for reasons that are not mentioned in the syra, his family, his children, and
2:15.1	according to one report even his mother remained in Mecca and they did not come
2:19.7	with him to Medina. Now there is another opinion as well and that is that Halteb was a slave who
2:25.3	had won his freedom and purchased his freedom. And if we take this opinion then we understand
2:31.6	exactly why his children and his mother and
2:34.1	whatnot had not left because they're all slaves. There's a second opinion that
