Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

The Prophet’s father, `Abdullaah, passed away while he ﷺ was still in his mother’s
womb, as what has been widely accepted.
In a Ḥadeeth, he ﷺ said: ❝(I am) …the dream which my mother saw when she
became pregnant with me, like as if a light was issued out of her and illuminated the
palaces of Syria.❞ 16
supported by another narration, on the authority of Qais Ibn Makhramah رضيُاهللُعنه who said: “I and the Messenger
of Allaah ﷺ were born in the Year of the Elephant.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (3619) and Musdatrak al-Ḥaakim
(4183, 5919) and said: “This is “Ṣaḥeeḥ” as per the condition of Imaam Muslim” and al-Dhahabee agreed with
him, but this only reaches to the level of “Ḥasan”. See al-Ṣaḥeeḥah (3152).
16 Reported by Ibn Is-ḥaaq in “al-Seerah” (1/175) and from him al-Ḥaakim in al-Mustadrak (4174) and said: “it is
“Ṣaḥeeḥ”, and al-Dhahabee agreed with him. I (al-Albaanee) say: “It is as they have said.” See al-Ṣaḥeeḥah (1545,
1546, 1925)
[TN: The complete Ḥadeeth is as follows:
Khaalid Ibn Ma`daan narrated that the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “O Messenger of
‏,(عليه السالم)‏ said: ❝I am the answer to the prayer of my father, Ibraaheem ﷺ Allaah, tell us about yourself.” He
and the glad tidings of `Eesa السالم)‏ ‏,(عليه and when my mother became pregnant with me, she saw something as
if a light came out of her and illuminated the palaces of Buṣraa in the land of Syria.❞ [al-Ḥaakim in al-
Mustadrak (4174) and said it is authentic and al-Dhahabee agreed with him. I (al-Albaanee) say: “It is as they have
said.”]
And from the narration of al-`Irbaadh Ibn Saariyah ‏:رضيُاهللُعنه “The mother of the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ saw -
when she gave birth to him - a light which illuminated the palaces of Syria.” [Musnad Aḥmad (17151) and al-
Mustadrak of al-Ḥaakim (3566) and said: “it is “Ṣaḥeeḥ” and al-Dhahabee agreed with him.]]
