The Miracles of the Nabi Pakﷺ – part 39

1. Nabi Pakﷺ telling about the damage of the parchment containing the conditions of the boycott:

When Quraish decided to boycott the family of the Prophet (Banî Hâshim and Banî ‘Abdul Muttalib) due to his announcement of His Message aloud in Makkah, they suspended the parchment of boycott (which included all the articles of their proclamation) from the ceiling of the Ka’bah. They decided not to do any business with them or any sort of inter-marriage or even to give shelter to any of them, until they hand over Muhammad ﷺ to kill him. Every member of Banî Hâshim and Banî ‘Abdul Muttalib, whether a Muslim at the time or a nonMuslim went into a valley on the outskirts of Makkah, as they refused to respond to their request. But Allâh the Almighty, sent an “ant” which ate the parchment, just leaving the name of Allâh. The Prophet ﷺ told his uncle, Abû Tâlib, who in turn told the people of Quraish about it and said to them: “My nephew has told me that Allâh has sent an ant, which ate your parchment, which ate it all except for the part which has Allâh’s names written on it. So, bring it over, and if what he said was not true, then I shall give him up to you.” When they went to see what had happened, they found that it had been eaten away by ants, just as the Prophet had told his uncle, and the proclamation was thus abrogated. Thereupon, both Banî Hâshim and Banî ‘Abdul Muttalib returned to Makkah and to their normal life. 2.

Nabi Pakﷺ telling about migration to Madînah and what took place afterwards:

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of Abû Musâ who said: “The Prophet ﷺ said: “In a dream I saw myself migrating from Makkah to a place having plenty of date- trees. I thought that it was al-Yamâmah or Hajar, but it came to be alMadînah i.e. Yathrib. In the same dream I saw myself shaking a sword and its blade got broken. It came to symbolize the defeat, which the Muslims suffered from on the Day of Uhud. I moved the sword again, and it became normal as before, and that was the symbol of the victory Allâh bestowed upon the Muslims and their gathering together. I saw cows in my dream, and by Allâh, that was a blessing, and they symbolized the believers on the Day of Uhud. And the blessing was the good Allâh
bestowed upon us and the reward of true belief, which Allâh gave us after the day of Badr”

3. Nabi Pakﷺ telling about the killing of Umaiyah Ibn Khalaf:

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of ‘Abdullâh bin Mas’ûd who said: “Sa’d bin Mu’âdh came to Makkah with the intention of performing ‘Umrah and stayed at the house of Umaiyah bin Khalaf Abû Safwân, for Umaiyah himself used to stay at Sa’d’s house when he passed by Madînah on his way to Syria. Umaiyah said to Sa’d: “Will you wait till midday when the people are (at their homes) then you may go and perform the Tawâf around the Ka’bah?” So, while Sa’d was going around the Ka’bah, Abû Jahl came and asked: “Who is that who is performing Tawâf?” Sa’d replied: “I am Sa’d.” Abû Jahl said: “Are you making Tawâf around the Ka’bah safely in spite of the fact that you have given refuge to Muhammad ﷺ and his companions?” Sa’d said: “Yes,” and they started quarrelling. Umaiyah said to Sa’d: “Don’t shout at Abî al-Hakam (i.e. Abû Jahl) for he is the chief of the valley (of Makkah). Sa’d then said (to Abû Jahl), “By Allâh, if you prevent me from performing the Tawâf of the Ka’bah, I will spoil your trade with Syria.”
Umaiyah kept on saying to Sa’d: “Don’t raise your voice” and kept on taking hold of him. Sa’d became furious and said (to Umaiyah): “Be away from me, for I have heard Muhammad saying that he will kill you.” Umaiyah said: “Will he kill me?” Sa’d said: “Yes.” Umaiyah said: “By Allâh! When Muhammad ﷺ says a thing, he never tells a lie. Umaiyah went to his wife and said to her: “Do you know what my brother from Yathrib (i.e. Madînah) has said to me?” She said: “What has he said?” He said: “He claims that he has heard Muhammad ﷺ claiming that he will kill me.” She said: “By Allâh! Muhammad ﷺ never tells a lie. So, when the infidels started to proceed for Badr (Battle) and declared war (against the Muslims), his wife said to him: “Don’t you remember what your brother from Yathrib told you?” Umaiyah decided not to go but Abû Jahl said to him, “You are from the nobles of the valley (of Makkah) so you should accompany us for a day or two.” He went with them and thus Allâh had him killed. “

4. Nabi Pakﷺ telling about the disbelievers, who were killed on the Day of Badr:

Imâm Muslim related on the authority of Anas, who said: “….. Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ showed us one day before (the actual battle) the place of death of the people (participating) in (the Battle) of Badr and he was saying” “This would be the place of death and so and so tomorrow, with the will of Allâh. ‘Umar said: ” By Him Who sent him with truth they did not miss the places (of their death), which Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ had pointed out for them. Then they were all thrown in a well one after another. Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ then went to them and said: “0 so and so, the son of so and so; O so and so, the son of so and so, have you found correct what Allâh and His Messenger had promised you? I have, however, found absolutely true what Allâh had promised me. ‘Umar said: “Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ, how are you talking to dead bodies with no soul in them?” Thereupon he said: “You cannot hear more distinctly than (their hearing) of what I say, but with this exception that they have no power to make any reply.

5. Nabi Pakﷺ telling about the conquest of Persia and Syria (ash-Shâm):

In the battle of al-Ahzâb (the confederates) while the companions were digging the ditch, an obstinate rock stood out as an obstacle in the ditch. The Prophet ﷺ took a spade and struck it, and the rock was immediately shattered into a heap of sand. The Prophet while striking the rock was uttering : “In the Name of Allâh, Allâh is Great, the keys of AshShâm (now Syria) are mine, I swear by Allâh, I can see its palaces at the moment.” At the second strike he said: “Allâh is Great, Persia is mine, I swear by Allâh, I can now see the white palace of Madâ’in; and for the third time he struck the rock, and said: “Allâh is Great, I have been given the keys of Yemen, I swear by Allâh I can see the gates of San’a’ while I am in my place.
