Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

Chapter 3: Some of the Signs which took place at the birth of the
ﷺ Messenger of Allaah
Muḥammad Ibn Is-ḥaaq reported (in al-Seerah) on the authority of Ḥassaan Ibn Thaabit
that he said: “By Allaah! I was a lad of seven or eight years, I had not reached رضيُاهللُعنه
maturity but capable of understanding all that I saw and heard, and I heard a Jew
shouting at the top of his voice in Aṭmah (a place) in Yathrib (another name for al-
Madeenah), saying: ‘O group of Jews!’, till they gathered around him and said: ‘Woe to
you! What is the matter?’ He said: ‘Tonight the star of Aḥmad has risen, indicating his
birth.’” 17
Abu Nu`aim and Muḥammad Ibn Ḥibbaan reported on the authority of Usaamah Ibn
Zaid that Zaid Ibn `Amr Ibn Nufail said: “A rabbi from the rabbis of Syria informed me: ‘A
prophet has emerged or will soon emerge in your land (country), as the star (indicating)
his emergence has appeared. So return to your land and believe in him and follow
18 19
him.’”
17 I (al-Albaanee) say: The chain of this narration is “Ḥasan” (good).
18 I (al-Albaanee) say: The chain of this narration is also “Ḥasan” (good). [TN: The complete Ḥadeeth is mentioned
in chapter 8]
19 [TN: The scholars from the people of the Book were aware of the emergence of the Prophet ‏,ﷺ and they had
تعاىل recognized him like how one recognizes his own children, but they disbelieved out of stubbornness. Allaah
said:
‏﴿الَّذِينَُُآتَي نَاه مُُال كِتَابَُُيَع رِف ونَهُُكَمَاُيَع رِف ونَُُأَب نَاءَه م ‏ُُُۖوَإِنَُُّفَرِيق اُمِّن ه م ‏ُُلَيَك ت م ونَُُاحل ‏َقَُُّوَه م ‏ُُيَُع لَم ونَُ﴾‏
{Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognize him (Muḥammad ‏(ﷺ as they
recognize their sons. But verily, a party of them conceals the truth while they know it - [i.e. the qualities of
Muḥammad ﷺ which are written in the Tauraat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)].} [Surah al-Baqarah (2): 146]
‏﴿الَّذِينَُُآتَي نَاه مُُال كِتَابَُُيَع رِف ونَهُُكَمَاُيَع رِف ونَُُأَب نَاءَه مُُُۖالَّذِينَُُخَسِ‏ رواُأَنف سَه م ‏ُُفَه م ‏ُُّلَُُي ؤ مِن ونَُ﴾‏
{Those to whom We have given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognize him (i.e. Muḥammad ﷺ as a
Messenger of Allaah), as they recognize their own sons. Those who destroy themselves will not believe.} [Surah
al-An`aam (6): 20]
Narrated Anas رضي ُ هللا ُ عنه : A young Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet ﷺ and he became sick. So the Prophet
father, sat near his head and asked him to embrace Islaam. The boy looked at his ﷺ went to visit him. He ﷺ
who was sitting there; the father told him to: ‘obey Abu al-Qaasim’. So the boy embraced Islaam. The Prophet
al- came out saying: ❝Praises be to Allaah Who saved the boy through me from the Hell-fire.❞ [Ṣaḥeeḥ ﷺ
