Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

From another route, Imaam Aḥmad reported that Jubair Ibn Mut`im رضيُاهللُعنه said: “My
camel was lost [in `Uranah (a valley near `Arafah)] and I went in search of it on the Day
of `Arafah. I found the Prophet ﷺ staying (along with the assembly) in `Arafah. I said
to myself: ‘By Allaah, he is from al-Ḥums. 48 What has brought him here?’” 49
[Shaikh al-Albaanee’s addendum]
Narrated `Abdullaah Ibn `Umar ‏ُاهلل ‏ُعنهما ‏:رضي The Prophet ﷺ met Zaid Ibn `Amr Ibn
Nufail in the bottom of (the valley of) Baldaḥ 50 before any Divine Inspiration came to
the Prophet ‏.ﷺ A meal was presented to the Prophet ﷺ but he refused to eat
from it and said: ❝I do not eat of what you slaughter on your stone altars (Anṣaab)
nor do I eat except that on which Allaah’s Name has been mentioned at the time of
slaughtering.❞ 51
Reported by Imaam Aḥmad (5369, 5631, and 6110) and its chain is authentic according
to the condition of al-Bukhaaree and Muslim. See also, “al-Seerah” by al-Dhahabee.
It also has a supporting chain from the Ḥadeeth of Sa`eed Ibn Zaid which is more
complete than this, which was reported by al-Ṭabaraanee in “al-Kabeer” (350), and
from him al-Dhahabee in “al-Seerah”; and also from the narration of Zaid Ibn Ḥaarithah
48 [TN: “Ḥums” (singular: Aḥmas) means: “strictly religious”. The Quraish were so called because of the traditions
of the Jaahiliyyah that they were upon, as they used to say: “We are the people of Allaah, we shall not go out of
the sanctuary.” So they would not go to `Arafah because it was outside the boundaries of Makkah. More on al-
Ḥums will be mentioned in chapter 12.]
49 Musnad Aḥmad (16737), and the wording within the bracket is his; Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (1664) and Ṣaḥeeḥ
Muslim (1220-153)
50 [TN: Baldaḥ is a valley near Makkah, to the West of it on the way to Jeddah. See al-Fatḥ (1/89)]
51 Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (5499)
[TN: Narrated `Abdullaah Ibn `Umar رضي ُ هللا ُ عنهما : The Prophet ﷺ met Zaid Ibn `Amr Ibn Nufail in the bottom of
(the valley of) Baldah before any Divine Inspiration came to the Prophet ‏.ﷺ A meal was presented to the
Prophet ﷺ but he refused to eat from it. (Then it was presented to Zaid) who said: “I do not eat anything which
you slaughter in the name of your stone idols. I eat none but those things on which Allaah’s Name has been
mentioned at the time of slaughter.” Zaid Ibn `Amr used to criticize the way Quraish used to slaughter their
animals, and used to say: “Allaah has created the sheep and He has sent the water for it from the sky, and He has
grown the grass for it from the earth, yet you slaughter it in other than the Name of Allaah.” He used to say so, for
he rejected that practice and considered it as something abominable. [Ṣaḥeeḥ al-Bukhaaree (3826)]]
