ENGLISH- THE SEALED NECTAR – MEMORIES OF THE PROPHET (PBUH)-AUTHOR- ISSAM DIAB

When time for prayer approached, Bilal ascended Al-Ka‘bah and called for prayer. Abu
Sufyan bin Harb, ‘Itab bin Usaid and Al-Harith bin Hisham were meanwhile sitting in the
yard. ‘Itab bin Usaid commented on the new situation (Bilal ascending Al-Ka‘bah and
calling for prayer) saying that Allâh honoured Usaid (his father) having not heard such
words. The Prophet [pbuh] approached and assisted by Divine Revelation told them that
he had learnt about what they had spoken of. Al-Harith and ‘Itab, taken by incredible
surprise, immediately professed Islam and bore witness to the Messengership of
Muhammad [pbuh] adding that "We swear by Allâh that none had been with us to
inform you."

On that very day, the Prophet [pbuh] entered ‘Umm Hani’s house where he washed and
offered prayers of victory. ‘Umm Hani had sheltered two Makkan relatives of hers in her
house in which act she was granted support by the Prophet [pbuh].

Shedding blood of nine arch-criminals was declared lawful even under the curtains of Al-
Ka‘bah. Nevertheless, only four of them were killed while the others were pardoned for
different reasons. As for those who were killed, mention could be made of ‘Abdul ‘Uzza
bin Khatal who had become a Muslim and then deputed to collect alms-tax in the
company of a Helper. They had also a slave with them. ‘Abdullah, in a fit of rage, killed
the Helper’s slave on account of a mere trifling dispute, and joined the pagan Arabs as
an apostate. He was never repentant at this heinous crime but rather employed two
women singers and incited them to sing satirically about the Prophet [pbuh].

The other man who was put to death was Miqyas bin Sababa. He was a Muslim. A Helper
accidently killed his brother Hisham. The Prophet [pbuh] had arranged the payment of
blood money to him, which he had accepted. His revengeful nature, however, was
never appeased, so he killed the Helper and went to Makkah as an apostate.

Similarly, Huwairith and one woman singer went to death.

On the other hand, every attempt was made to grant pardon to the people. ‘Ikrimah bin
Abu Jahl, who had attacked Khalid’s detachment at the time of the entry into Makkah,
was forgiven. To Wahshi, the murderer of Hamzah, the Prophet’s uncle, and to Hind, who
had chewed his liver, was also extended his generous clemency. The same generous
treatment was accorded to Habar who had attacked the Prophet’s daughter with a
spear, while on her way from Makkah to Madinah, so grievously that she ultimately died
of the fatal injuries.

In the same context of magnanimity peculiar to Muhammad [pbuh], two chiefs of


Quraish were pardoned once they had embraced Islam. They were Safwan bin
Omaiyah and Fudalah bin ‘Umair. The latter had attempted to assassinate the Prophet
[pbuh] while circumambulating in the Holy Sanctuary. The Prophet’s matchless tolerance
and broad-mindedness instigated by his mission as ‘A mercy to all people’, converted a
terrible hypocrite into a faithful devout believer.

On the second day of the great conquest, the Prophet [pbuh] stood up and addressed
the people in matters relating to the holy status of Makkah. After entertaining Allâh’s
praise, he proclaimed that Makkah was a holy land and would remain so till the Day of
Judgement. No bloodshed was allowed therein. Should anyone take the liberty of
fighting within Makkah on grounds derived from the events that characterized the
conquest, he should remember that it had been a licence granted temporarily to the
Prophet, and virtually does not go for others. Ibn ‘Abbas [R] narrated: The Prophet [pbuh]
said: "Allâh has made Makkah, a sanctuary, so it was a sanctuary before me and will
continue to be a sanctuary after me. It was made legal for me (i.e. I was allowed to fight
in it) for a few hours of a day. It is not allowed to uproot its shrubs or to cut its trees, or to
chase (or disturb) its game, or to pick up its fallen things except by a person who would
announce that (what has found) publicly." Al-‘Abbas said: "O Allâh’s Messenger! Except
the lemon grass (for it is used) by our goldsmiths and for our homes." The Prophet [pbuh]
then said: "Except the lemon grass."

In this context, out of the spirit of revenge, the tribesmen of Khuza‘ah killed a man from
Laith Tribe. Here the Prophet was indignant and ordered Khuza‘ah to stop those pre-

Islamic practices. He, moreover, gave the family of anyone killed the right to consider
either of two options, blood-money or just retribution (the killer is killed).

After having delivered his address, the Prophet [pbuh] rode to a small hill, Safa, not far
from Al-Ka‘bah. Turning his face towards the Sacred House, amidst a vast admiring and
devotional multitude, he raised his hand in fervent prayer to Allâh.

The citizens of Madinah who had gathered round him entertained fear, as Allâh had
given him victory over his native city, he might choose to stay here. He insisted on
explanation of their fear and so they spoke openly. He immediately dispelled their fears
and assured them that he had lived with them and would die with them.
