Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

– who was the last Prophet sent to the Banee Israa’eel. This shows that all the other
Prophets in-between these two also gave the glad tidings of his coming.
And in it are the glad tidings for this land of ours – Buṣraa – for it was the first piece of
land to which the light of Prophethood first arrived. And all praise is for Allaah alone.
This is why Buṣraa was the first city of Syria that was conquered – peacefully – during
‏.رضيُاهللُعنه the Caliphate of Abu Bakr
The Exalted Group:
As for the exalted group (i.e. the Angels), then his affair was renowned, wellmentioned,
and well-known even before the creation of Aadam ‏ُالسالم ‏,عليه which was
reported by Imaam Aḥmad in his Musnad, from the Ḥadeeth of al-`Irbaadh Ibn Saariyah
said: ❝I was with Allaah as the Seal of the ﷺ that the Messenger of Allaah رضيُاهللُعنه
Prophets when Aadam was still in the form of mud on the ground. And I will tell you
of the first of it, I am the answer to the prayer of the father of Ibraaheem, the glad
tidings of Eesa about my coming, and the dream that my mother saw…❞ 83
Imaam Aḥmad also reported that Maysarah al-Fajr رضي ‏ُاهلل ‏ُعنه said: “O Messenger of
Allaah! Since when were you a Prophet? He ﷺ said: ❝While Aadam was between
spirit and body.❞
(Ibn Katheer said): The chain of this narration is “Jayyid” (excellent). 84
Ibn Shaaheen reported in “Dalaa’il al-Nubuwwah” that Abu Hurairah رضيُاهللُعنه asked the
ﷺ “When was the Prophethood established for you?” He ‏:ﷺ Messenger of Allaah
said: ❝Between the creation of Aadam and the spirit being breathed into him.❞ 85
83 (Shaikh al-Albaanee said): Reported in Musnad Aḥmad (17150, 17163) with a chain in which there is some
“Jahaalah” (i.e., one narrator is unknown), and there is “Nakaarah” (something objectionable) in its text. In the
end of the Ḥadeeth there is this addition ❝…and similarly, this is what the mothers of the Prophets are shown
(in their dreams).❞. Apart from having a “Weak” chain, this last phrase is not repeated in the similar Aḥaadeeth
reported from different routes. This is why I (al-Albaanee) have mentioned it in “al-Ḍha`eefah” (2085).
84 Musnad Aḥmad (16623, 20596, 23212). The chain of this narration is “Ṣaḥeeḥ”. It is also graded as “Ṣaḥeeḥ” by
Ibn Ḥibbaan, al-Ḥaakim (4209), al-Dhahabee and others and it has other supporting chains which I (al-Albaanee)
have mentioned in “al-Ṣaḥeeḥah” (1856), from them is the Ḥadeeth of Abu Hurairah which will be mentioned
next.
