11 11 The city of Al Taa-ef\ الطائف is located on top of this mountain. This is one of the present day مكة from Makkah Al Mukarramah طريق الهدى Hadaa\ Tareequ Al :الطائف Taa-ef\ highways to Al 2017 /هجري Hejree\ The pictures are from Dr. Abdu Al Rahmaan Xasanwali المكرمة \ Gregorian. The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam went on until he halted near Al Taa-ef\,الطائف and pitched his camp there. Some of his companions were killed by arrows there because the camp had come to close to the wall of Al الطائفTaa-ef and the arrows were reaching them. الطائفTaa-ef The siege of Al The Muslems could not get through their wall for they had fastened the gate. When these men were killed by arrows, the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam pitched his camp near where his masjed stands today. He, Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam besieged them for some twenty days. The Meseenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam had two of his زينب and Zaynab أم سلمة بنت أبي أمية عليها السالم Umayyah\ wives: Ummu Salamah ben Abee there. Then he stayed.(القسطالني Qastalaanee\ (as reported by Al عليها السالم \ The Masjed of the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa الطائفTaa-ef Sallam in Al When Thaqeef\ ثقيف surrendered (After the Battle of Tabook\ غزوة تبوك in the year nine of Al عمرو بن أمية بن وهب بن معتب 'Amr ben Umayyah ben Wahb ben Mu'atteb ben Maalek,(الهجرةHejrah built a masjed over the place where the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa بن مالك \ 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam prayed. There was a pillar in the masjed. Some allege that the sun never rises over it any day but a creacking noise is heard from it. The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam besieged them and fought them bitterly and the two sides exchanged arrows, until when the day of storming came at the wall of Al الطائفTaa-ef, a number of his companions went under a testudo and advanced up to the wall to breach it. الطائفThaqeef let loose on them scraps of hot iron so they came out from under it and Thaqeef them. shot them with arrows and killed some of ثقيف \

12 12 The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam ordered that the vineyards of Thaqeef \ ثقيف should be cut down, and the men fell upon them cutting them down. Aboo Sufyaan ben Harb\ أبوسفيان بن حرب and Al Mugheerah ben Shu'bah\ المغيرة بن شعبة went up to Al Taa-ef\ الطائف and called to Thaqeef \ ثقيف to grant them safety so that they could speak to them. When they agreed, they called on the women of Quraysh\ قريش and Banee Kenaanah\ بني كنانة to come out to them for they were afraid that they would be captured, but they refused to come. They were Aamenah bentu Abee Sufyaan\ بنت أبي سفيان,آمنة who was married to 'Urwah ben Mas'ood\ عروة بن مسعود by whom she gave birth to Daawood ben 'Urwah\ بن عروة ;داود and Al Feraaseyah bentu 'Amr ben Tha'labah\ الفراسية بنت عمرو بن ثعلبة whose son was 'Abdu Al Rahmaan ben Qaareb\ الرحمن بن قارب ;عبد and Al Fuqaymeyyatu Umaymah bentu Al Naase-u/intercalator.الفقيمية أميمة بنت النسيء أمية بن قلع \ Qal' Umayyah ben When they refused to come out, ebnu Al Aswad ben Mas'ood\ إبن األسود بن مسعود said to the two men: "Let me tell you of something better than that which you have come about.

If Muhammad cuts down its trees it will never be cultivated again, so speak to him and let him take it for وسلم \ himself or leave it to Allaah\ هللا and kinsmen, for there is a well known relationship between us." They allege that the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam left it to them. The vision of the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam I have heard that the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam :الطائف Taa-ef\ while he was besieging Al أبوبكر الصديق رضي هللا تعالى عنه Bakr\ said to Aboo "يا أبا بكر إني رأيت أني أهديت لي قعبة مملوءة زبدا. فنقرها ديك فهرق ما فيها." The Hadeeth means: "I saw (in a dream) that I was given a bowl of butter and a cock pecked at it and spilt it." Aboo أبوبكرBakr said: "I don't think that you will attain your desire from them today."

13 13 The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: The Hadeeth means: "وأنا ال أرى ذلك." "I do not think so either." Then, Khuwaylah bentu Hakeem ben Umayyah ben Haarethah ben Al Awqas Al عثمان )بن مظعون رضي wife of 'Uthmaan,خويلة بنت حكيم بن أمية بن حارثة بن األوقص السلمية Sulameyyah\ هللا تعالى, asked the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa عنه(\ بادية بنت Sallam to give her the jewellery of Baadeyata bentu Ghaylaan ben Math'oon ben Salamah هللاAllaah if الفارعة بن عقيل 'Aqeel\ or the jewellery of Al Faare'ah bentu,غيالن بن مظعون بن سلمة \.ثقيف Thaqeef\ for they were the best bejeweled women of,الطائف Taa-ef\ gave him victory over Al I have been told that the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said to her: "وإن كان لم يؤذن لي في ثقيف يا خويلة " The Hadeeth means: "?خويلة Khuwaylah\ is not permitted to me, O ثقيفThaqeef "And if She left him and went to 'Umar\,عمر who came and asked the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu 'Alayhe Wa 'Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam if he had really said what Khuwaylah\ خويلة had told him?

23 23 These five versus mean: 1. O Allaah هللا, a man protects his dwelling so protect Your dwelling. 2.They brought all the warriors of their countries And the elephants to insult and harm your people. 3.Grant support and victory today to your people over the people of the cross And those who worship it. 4.Do not allow their cross and their weapons to overpower tomorrow your weapons. 5.They came to attack Your Sanctuary by betrayal Because they are ignorant and do not know Your Majesty. 'Abdu Al Muttaleb\ عبد المطلب then let go the knocker of the door of the Ka'bah\ الكعبة and went off with his Quraysh\ قريش companions to the mountain tops where they took up defensive.مكة Makkah\ would do when he occupied أبرهة Abraha\ positions waiting to see what محمودMahmood The head elephant Ibnu Ishaaq\ إبن إسحاق said: "In the morning, Abraha \ أبرهة prepared to enter the town and made his elephant ready for battle and drew up his troops.

When they set it towards the north and the east it did likewise, but as soon as they directed it towards Makkah\ مكة it knelt down." End quote. Ebnu Es-haaq\ إبن إسحاق further reported: Then, هللاAllaah sent upon them the Christian army of Abraha\ أبرهة in the outskirts of Makkah\ مكة birds coming from the west (from the direction of the Red Sea) like swallows and starlings; each bird carried three stones, like peas and lentils, one in its beak and two between its claws.

" Today passed away the "Rabbaanee\ "رباني of this nation = the worshipper of هللاAllaah, the most learned in religion, who practised what he learned and also shared this knowledge with others."

One of the Hawaazen\ هوازن of the clan of Banoo Sa ad ben Bakr\ بنو سعد بن بكر (the clan of Haleemah Al Ssa deyah\ السعدية (حليمة called Zuhayr Aboo Surad\ زهير أبو صرد said: O Messenger of Allaah, Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam, in the enclosures are your paternal and maternal aunts and the women who suckled you who used to look after you.

Then he said: أمنن علينا رسول هللا في كرم أمنن على بيضة قد عاقها قدر فإنك المرء نرجوه وننتظر ممزق شملها في دهرها غير These are two verses of a long poem and they mean: Have pity on us, Messenger of Allaah\,هللا generously, For you are the man from whom we hope and expect pity. Have pity on a people whom fate has frustrated, Their well being shattered by time s misfortunes. The Messenger Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa laa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: Abnaa-ukum wa nesaa-ukum ahabbu elaykum am amwaalukum? The Hadeeth means: Which are dearest to you? Your sons and your wives or your livestock? "أبناؤكم و نساؤكم أحب إليكم أم أموالكم " They replied: Do you give us the choice between our cattle and our honor? No, give us back our wives and our sons, for that is what we most desire.

72 72 The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe a Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "أما ما كان لي ولبني عبد المطلب فهو لكم وإذا ما أنا صليت الظهر بالناس فقوموا فقولوا: "إنا نستشفع برسول هللا إلى المسلمين وبالمسلمين إلى رسول هللا هللا ىلص في أبنائنا ونسائنا فسأعطيكم عند ذلك وأسأل لكم."

The Hadeeth means: So far as concerns what I and the Banoo Abdu Al Muttaleb\ بنو عبد المطلب have they are yours. When I have prayed the noon prayer with the men then get up and say: We ask the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam s intercession with the Muslims, and the Muslim s intercession with the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam for our sons and our women. I will then give them to you and make application on your behalf. When the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaaju Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam had ended the noon prayers they did as he had ordered them, and he said: Ammaa maa kaana lee wa le Banee Abdu Al Muttaleb fa huwa lakum. The Hadeeth means: "أما ما كان لي ولبني عبد المطلب فهو لكم." So far as concerns what I and the Banoo Abdu Al Muttaleb \ بنو عبد المطلب have they are yours.

Abbaas ben Merdaas \ عباس بن مرداس said: You have removed the power from me. The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: He who holds to his right of these captives he should do so now in exchange of six camels that I will give to him from the first booty that I will acquire for every captive he returns. They returned to هوازنHawaazen all their children and women. Ebnu إبن إسحاقEs-haaq said: The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam had given Alee Ben Abee Taaleb\ علي بن أبي طالب Alayhessalaamu a young woman called Raytah bentu Helaal ben Hayyaan ben Umayrah ben Helaal ben Naaserah ben Qusayyah ben Nasr ben Sa d ben.ريطة بنت هالل بن حيان بن عميرة بن هالل بن ناصرة بن قصية بن نصر بن سعد بن بكر\ Bakr عثمان بن Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam gave to Uthmaan ben Affaan زينب بنت حيان بن عمرو a young woman called Zaynab bentu Hayyaan ben Amr ben Hayyaan عفان \.بن حيان \ عمر بن Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam gave to Umar ben Al Khattaab عبد هللا بن عمرUmar a young woman that he further donated to his son Abdu Allaahe ben الخطاب who said: I sent her to my aunts from Banee بني جمحJumah to prepare and get her ready for me untill I had circumambulated the Ka bah\ الكعبة and could come to them wanting to take her when I returned. When I had finished I came out of the Masjed and saw the men running about and I said: What happened? They said: The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam returned to us our women and our children. I said: Your daughter is with Banee Jumah \ بني جمح : go to them and get her. They went there and got her. The share of Uyaynah ben عيينة بن حصنHesn of the captives was an old women of the elderly women of هوازنHawaazen and said as he took her: I see that she is a person of standing in the tribe and her ransom may well be high.

74 74 When the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam returned the captives at a price of six camels each, he refused to give her back. Zuhayr Abee زهير أبي صردSurad said to him: Let her go for by وهللاAllaah her mouth is cold and her breasts flat; she could not conceive and her husband would not care and her milk is not rich. After Zuhayr \ زهير told him so, he returned her in exchange of six camels. When Uyaynah ben عيينة بن حصنHesn met with Al Aqra ben Haabes \ األقرع بن حابس he complained to him about the matter and he said: By وهللاAllaah! You did not take her as a virgin in her prime, nor even as a midlle aged woman! مالك بن عوف Awf\ The story of Maalek ben The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam asked the deputation of هوازنHawaazen about Maalek ben Awf\ مالك بن عوف and they said:.الطائفtaa-ef in Al ثقيفThaqeef He is with the tribe of The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "اخبروه إنه إن اتاني مسلما رددت اليه أهله وماله وأعطيته مائة من االبل."

When this message was delivered to مالكMaalek he came out of Al الطائفTaa-ef and went to the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam. مالكMaalek was afraid for his life if Thaqeef \ ثقيف was to know about this message and they might imprison him.

75 75 The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam returned to him his women, his children and his properties and gave him one hundred heads of camels. He became a Muslem and a good one by that. He said: \\ في الناس كلهم بمثل دمحم ما إن رأيت و ال سمعت بمثله ومتى تشأ يخبرك عما في غد \\ أوفى وأعطى للجزيل إذا اجتدي بالسمهري وضرب كل مهتد \\ وإذا الكتيبة عردت أنيابها وسط الهباءة حادر في مرصد \\ فكأنه ليث على أشباله Guillaume translated the poem as follows: I have never seen or heard of a man Like Muhammad دمحم in the whole world; Faithful to his word and generous when asked for a gift, And when you wish he will tell you of the future. When the squadron shows its strength With spears and swords that strike, In the dust of war he is like a lion Guarding its cubs in its den.

Ebnu إبن إسحاقEs-haaq said: المؤلفة قلوبهم \ attracted Those whose hearts were to be When the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam had returned the captives of هوازنHawaazen to their people, he rode away and the men followed him, saying: O Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam devide our spoil of camels and sheep and goats. They forced him Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam back against a tree and his upper cloth was torn from him. The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: " ردوا علي ردائي فوهللا أن لو كان لكم بعدد شجر تهامة نعما لقسمته عليكم ثم ما ألفيتموني بخيال وال جبانا وال كذابا." "Raddoo alayaa redaa-ee ayyuhaa al nnaasu!

76 76 The Hadeeth means: O men! Give me back my upper cloth, for by وهللاAllaah if you had as many sheep and goats as the trees of (The region of) Tehaamah \ تهامة I would distribute them among you; you have not found me niggardly or cowardly or a liar. Then Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam went to a camel and took some hair from its hump and held them aloft in his fingers and said: " أيها الناس وهللا ما لي من فيئكم وال هذه الوبرة إال الخمس والخمس مردود عليكم. فأدوا الخياط والمخيط فإن الغلول يكون على أهله عار ونار وشنار يوم القيامة." "Ayyuhaa al nnaasu, wa Allaahe maa lee men fayekum wa laa haathehe al wabarata ellaa al khumusa, wa al khumusu mardoodun alaykum. Fa addoo al kheyaata wa al mukhyata, fa enna al ghuloola yakoonu alaa ahlehe aaran wa naaran wa shanaaran yawma al qeyaamate." The Hadeeth means: O men! By وهللاAllaah I have nothing but a Khumus\ One /الخمس fifth of your booty even to this hair, and the fifth I will return to you. And give back the needle and the thread; for dishonesty will be a shame and a flame and utter ignomity to a man on the Day of Resurrection. A man from the األنصارAnsaar returned a ball of camel hair and said: O Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam I took this ball to make a pad for a sore camel of mine. The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "Ammaa naseebee menhaa fa laka". The Hadeeth means: As for my share in that you can keep it. The man said: If it has come to that, I do not want it. He threw it away. "أما نصيبي منها فلك."

She said: I see that you have been fighting, and what plunder have you got from the Polytheists? He said: Take this needle to make your clothes with and handed it to her. Then he heard the crier of the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam saying: Whoever took anything from the booty even a needle and thread should return it.. So عقيلAqeel came back to his wife and said: I am afraid you have lost your needle, and he took it and threw it into the common stock.

79 79 The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "Eth-habuu behe, fa aqta oo annee lesaanahu". The Hadeeth means: "اذهبوا به فاقطعوا عني لسانه."

Then Sa d ben سعد بن عبادةUbaadah came to the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam and said: O Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam when you gave the booty to your own people and you gave big portions to the other Arab tribes and gave nothing to the األنصارAnsaar the األنصارAnsaar took the matter to heart.

The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: "Fa ajma lee qawmaka fee haathehe al hatheerate". The Hadeeth means: Now, gather your people for me in this enclosure. "فاجمع لي قومك في هذه الحظيرة." سعدSa d assembled his tribes in the enclosure. Some of the Muhaajereena\ المهاجرين joined them and he let them stay while others he sent back. When he had got them altogether سعدSa d went and said to the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam: O Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam the tribes of the األنصارAnsaar are assembled for you. The Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam came to them and after praising and thanking Allaah\ هللا he addressed them thus: "يا معشر األنصار مقالة بلغتني عنكم وجدة وجدتموها علي في أنفسكم ألم آتكم ضالال فهداكم هللا وعالة فأغناكم هللا وأعداء فألف هللا بين قلوبكم " "Yaa ma shara Al Ansaare, maqaalatun balaghatnee ankum, wa jedatun wajadtumuuhaa alayya fee anfusekum?

Did I not come to you when you were erring and هللاAllaah guided you; poor and هللاAllaah made you rich; enemies and هللاAllaah softened your hearts?
