Summary

In this video, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the biography of Suhayl Ibn Amr and his family. He was the Khatib or orator and one of the leaders of Makkah at the time of the advent of Islam. His two famous sons with regards to Islam are - Abdullah Ibn Suhayl and Abu Jandal Ibn Suhayl. As we shall learn, we gather his role in the refusal of protection of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ on his return from Ta'if. He was also instrumental in concluding the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah and we shall see the incidents that transpired during these events. He set the condition for the treaty to be signed from the Muslims as Muhammad ibn Abdullah as opposed to the Prophet Muhammad, which was outright rejection of the Prophethood. He died of the Amawas plague in the 18th year of the Hijra.

0:56.1

I'm always having issues every week which Sahabi to do. Why? Because now we're getting to the Sahaba who don't have detail biographies.

1:01.2

And if we wanted to spend the next five ten years doing one

1:05.1

paragraph of some of the Sah how we could do that because now we're coming to

1:08.6

so many of the Sahaba that are not we only have tidbits about them and there's useful information as well about them.

1:16.0

So what I've decided to do is really to choose those that we have some more information about or some stories that are very, very interesting about them.

1:25.0

And today, in sha alah, I wanted to do a Sahabi who has a lot of interesting tidbits and anecdotes and he is one of the enemies of early Islam

1:37.8

and then he becomes one of the Sahaba and there are a few of them who basically I call them the noble enemies.

There are a few of the Sahib I call them the noble enemies that at one point in their lives

1:49.0

they were noble enemies, i.e. even though they opposed Islam, the way that they opposed it, by and large,

1:56.6

they did not stoop to the level of Abu Jahal, they did not stoop to the level of al-Wahida bin Uchba, and others of their character. They opposed the Prophet Sala is

2:06.0

Sala is from some level of sincerity, not based on arrogance.

2:10.9

And this is another difference that Abu Jahal for example he knew Islam
