The Story of Safiyya: the Prophet's Jewish wife -Mufti Abu Layth al-Maliki

I want to move on to this other thing which is linked to this and that is this claim of the profit how around the circumstances of how the profit married his Jewish his wife who was of Jewish ancestry Sophia or the Allah one-half now there's a video that went viral of Tommy Robinson and some of the far-right that keep using this point those of you just tuning in I want you to click like click share I want you to get this out there because I want people to have

access to this right so there's this video out there where some Muslim is debating he's chasing Tommy Robinson to debate him and Muslims do this and I want to ask you right look please for the love of God don't do these things right leave it honestly you are not that capable and I respect that you guys might do a lot of good things people might do a lot of good things I respect

that but these issues you do Islam much more harm than you do good you know your five-minute fame of like wow I attacked a you know I confronted a far-right person right and Muslims are gonna all clap for you and like you know kiss your behind right this is no good because the harm you are doing Islam is so so outweighs this right honestly so in this discussion the person the first

thing this person asks him is it true that the Prophet after murdering his the father and the husband of Sophia took her as his own and had her on that night is this true and this guy says yourself Wow Wow I am genuinely lost for words what do you mean yes so and then he says back to

Tommy Robinson and this is just one example he says but where does it say in the books that he raped her are you for real if I got a woman who's just been married killed her husband according to this narration in front of her killed her father dragged her away as my slave and had sex with her that night I really doubt that is gonna be a sense of romantic passion between the two of us of course that's gonna be god damn right

what do you think she's gonna do so what do you mean where does it say that's rape that is not what happened why are you conceding to them why are you accepting this and allowing them to circulate this nonsense so right so first of all so I want to make that point clear that look please these issues are intricate issues the issue of Islamic history is intricately cuz there's so much nonsense that's being transmitted this truth is well this nonsense as well don't just if you haven't studied Islam don't go out there

being the voice of Islam right just back out of it let your ego take a little hit it's okay and then he affirms yes so what the iShare was nine years old she was developed what the hell what do you mean developed what kind of a sick responses that developed nine year old what do you mean this is the prophet of God if this was any other man you would condemn it so you're saying it's okay for your prophet to do all these things so I have answered in detail I've made an elaborate

video about the age of Aisha so watch it and seriously what disappoints me is that some of these people have see me and they do know this this narrative but they still refuse to and they want to tow this kind of this this anti Islamic Islamophobic narrative of the Prophet marrying a child and I find that blasphemous I'm gonna be honest with you but now let's get back to this point of this in this issue about Sofia right now Sofia of the olavo on now just to give

you some background she she was a Jewish woman from a tribe of from bunny na Beebe that lived in a place called Faber and her father was one of the chief people right so his name is her gay even after her yeah even after and he had met the Prophet before on a few occasions he was one of the most kind of vile people against the Prophet what's interesting is his brother Abu Yasser embraced Islam very early on and still lived with them

in Kleber and Abu Yasser embraced Islam and he actually would often plead with them and about Islam you know stop misrepresenting Islam and stuff like this now the battle of Kleber takes place there's some disagreement like as they always is this nothing listen to one point let's get one point clear nothing is concrete in Islamic history this this difference is on everything so this some days this disagreement on when the Battle of Labor took place let's go with a mainstream a popular view of it

was in 73 the seventh a jury some say in my Malik said it was in sixth a jury but either way seven hit early now it happens after hudaibiya because these were the huge fronts that were threatening the realization in Medina so when you had the Battle of Azov and stuff like this people who got all these tribes the coalition against to kind of demolish and wipe out everybody you know man woman and child in Medina but they failed the key people behind this were like the croatian makkah and they were these people from hey ba ba nee na b if

na ba nee na beard had also family in Banu Qurayza and and so they had got Bonnie her either onto it so bonnie Caray they were to attack when the trenches and that's a whole different topic you can listen to that another time or do your research on it so the whole Muslim civilization had been under threat by these keep hours now in the Battle of hood they are not the battle but in the treaty of hudaibiya the Prophet had a treaty with the people in Makkah that they would have a peace treaty so once he had a bit of security from them because of the constant threat from Haber he did go to Haber and they

very some people say it was only the people popularly they say it was only the people of hudaibiya that went to Haber they go to this place to for battle now there was something like 1,400 people some Muslims some say there were 1500 1600 there around that kind of amount now hey bird was in fortresses now the Arabs never normally had fortresses so they weren't used to how to battle with fortresses so these people had fortresses and they had eight key fortresses five spaced out then three separate behind and these were I'm just giving you a little picture and

this is where the battle kind of takes place it's one full press at a time now anyway moving fast forwarding on to this point the battle the Muslims eventually win the battle it's it's a very typically difficult kind of thing it lasts several weeks eventually the Muslims do win it several Muslims are killed I think all over 80 Muslims get killed during this battle amongst them there's a famous companion Mohammed didn't Muslim and his brother motive Muslim eyes killed by Sophia's father or by Sophia's husband and

there's a difference of opinion and arguably he is the person who retaliates but at the end of this amongst the peeps a fear leaves with the Muslims and girls now I want us to pause here okay right I want to now tell you what the the narrative that is being pushed around is and then what the truth is okay so let's I gave you the background and inshallah in the future maybe I will do a detailed video on this but right now for us to have an understanding so this is now the narrative that is being

pushed even by several Muslims unfortunately that the Prophet after being victorious brought hell clean Anna was her husband and he was obviously one of the key people and her father who yay and had them tied up and executed she was dragged out and then then there's some variations some people say she was taken as spoils of war so and she was given to this person called daheia al qalbi and this this these narrations

that I'm telling you now are not true but I'm telling you this is what people push this is the narrative right so she was taken by the al qalbi and then the Prophet took her from him because she was known to be so beautiful she was so beautiful that the Prophet took her from the hill kalbi and said to her look why don't you marry me Oh like you've got a choice like you can either be a slave or you can marry me and she

says okay I'll marry you and then the Prophet in some narrations consummates that marriage is intimate with going to some people that night night after or whatever few nights later these are the kind of stories being pushed around and also she is hateful of the Prophet in the beginning in some she says oh I detest you and stuff like these in some narrations now all of these things are nonsense people these

are all rubbish right now let me get to the true narrative the truth is that we have a lot of narrations a lot and we've got several in Buhari we've got several in other books almost all of these narrations to do with this marriage of Sofia come predominant almost all of them I mean there may be one or two other ones otherwise generally they all come through just honest or they Allah on only anise is transmitting this story

okay there is so much conflict and if there are what the hadith in call it there are is when narrations conflict so massively none of them are reliable okay now there's so much it they're up in this story from anise they all from anise and they all the conflicting narrations are in bihari they conflict with each other they rainbow hari there in the books of ignites half they're in the books of the topic art in the tarif books and other things they they they all they make all conflict so let's take a look at the kind of calm we're gonna take a look at the kind of conflicts

that we're dealing with now what i believe is that in these narrations there are some truths lying some way that have over time being distorted okay because they can't all be true they're all conflicting they're all kind of making they don't add up so there may be some truths but somewhere along the line some people have distorted this they've made mistakes some people have been forgetful some people are in rewire Billman I interpreted things are going to meaning an estradiol ah one was the long one of the longest the one

of the oldest companion one of the companions to reach such an old age so when this incident is happening he is around maybe he's a teenager maybe 16 years old something like that okay when this incident is happening he is the one transmitting all these stories he dies in 93 Hickory okay which means he dies Oh having lived over a hundred years of age so he's one of the most one of the Companions with the most kind of longest lived lives if you

like like a wood that died with such seniority an age that he lived over a hundred years now so along the way you can imagine whether it comes from him that people taking it from him over old age or they transmitting with meaning or people are pulling their own kind of interpretations into this and people are transmitting the story and they're transmitting it on from them and they're transmitting it on from them right down to Buhari himself who's hearing this and transmitting and Buhari himself by the way transmits with meaning he is one of the scholars that transmits with meaning so when he is asked Buhari himself says

that oh the Haditha is to listen to in Basra I would write them in birth death and the ones I heard in but that I would write in missile in Egypt and the person asks him become Ali he what the whole of it and says from a circuit he just went quiet because it's impossible to write the whole thing so it's important to understand these now let's take a look so this tougher route first of all that with anise anise is the key person to transmit all these rewired now these rewired here are some of the conflicts some of them say she was a slave girl stayed a slave some of them say no she

was a free purse so the Prophet took her as a slave girl some of them say the Prophet married okay some of them say that no she was given today he alkyl be who the Prophet took her from some of these rewired say that oh the hell can be said I want to take a different slave girl with her another narration says no he never said that he said oh I want you oh you can buy her using certain cattle and things like this seven Sbarro's he took in place then and these are also narrations coming like from places like Buhari and stuff like the all conflicting some of

them say well okay the Prophet then married her in a place called the said the Roja some of them say no you married her in a place called subdue Sabah in a different place altogether right okay some of them say no he didn't marry her until he got to Medina some of these narrations say they kept the prophet and these people came back from labor directly without any delay they came to Medina other narrations say no they came from a different place called a span they'd gone to a span instead and they came back from her spawn okay

some of them these narrations say oh the Prophet consummated his marriage from that night some of them say no a few nights later some of them say no until he didn't get back to Medina okay now some of these narrations say how was she how did she come to the Prophet some people say they caught her in in in the fortress other people say no in generations no they caught her in she was in the street and she came herself I'm just trying to show you contradictions in what our authentic narrations those of you just tuning in if you can click like click share get

this out there then I'm gonna explain what is the true narrative and how these things got got messed up some of these narrations say she used to actually fancy the Prophet that this is before she even became Muslim some of them say no she hated him on the day and said I don't want to be married to you some of them say she didn't embrace Islam some of them straight away some of them say she didn't embrace Islam straight away some of them say that oh she may have been upset let's say if you want to accept those narrations by

Ignace hark about her husband being killed some of them say she was beaten black and blue by her husband and the Prophet actually asks her about that and I'll explain a bit about that now so I'm just trying to take a look at some of these things okay now you can see the kind of confusion going on and these are all all narrated by the same person that they're coming from this place no they come from that place no they came straight away no they took pay time no they didn't get married till they got back there no they did get married when they were there no she became Muslim no

she didn't become Muslim too later on no she was still a slave girl no she wasn't a slave girl she was a wife straightaway oh no she did used to fancy the Prophet and she was like this this story no no she didn't like the Prophet at the day she no she was held as the captive from inside the fortress and brought no she was actually already standing there no she was right so we've got a lot of nonsense a lot of noise now people have to filter through now let me tell you what actually happened people okay

I'd like you to click like click share first of all what is very clear is Sofia leaves with the Muslims this is clear fact Sofia at some stage in her life does become the wife of the Prophet that is a fact we accept that these two are facts it's the things in between that have been mixed up now let me clarify this to you people first of all it is impossible

that the Prophet married her then imposter why you asked me right he posted no evidence right okay why is it impossible because it clearly goes against the Quran clearly clearly goes against the Quran right her husband did die in that battle and that he was one of the chief people and obviously it was a battle so he did die there's no denying that and

he had murdered the brother of Muhammad eveness muslimah whose name was Muhammad Abdul muslimah and it was Muhammad even a Muslim who killed him in retaliation for his brother now the husband had died okay fine so she's a widow what does the Quran say about widows well Lavina you to a phone a minkum and those who die amongst you well yet their owner is virgin and their wives are left behind your tour bus Nabi unfussy Hina that they must sit an EDA

our Bharata ashram wash ah they must sit an idea of four months and ten days for either balana agita who never lagina Holly that once they reach the agile they can get married Allah has said that in the Quran in the Quran so the first assumption is that are you saying the Prophet went against this clear verse in the Quran so some people have tried to

say we'll all know there was a hadith of others were to all pass when the Prophet said oh if there was a female captive you can she doesn't have to sit a female captive can just sit an idea of one menstrual cycle first of all that's absurd because the verse was to all past hadn't even happened yet it was gonna happen one or two years after this event right foot - that was not speaking about Windows three there's problems in that chain to start off with for even if you tried to take that understanding of a minstrel cycle how could it be that same

day that the Prophet marries her or the next day according to these stories it doesn't make any sense are you telling me the Prophet himself does not understand or the Quran and he's going against the Quran so okay let's get that point so the Prophet did not marry her thee so why are they thinking he married it let's go to one of the hadith that Ana's transmitted this is once again sahi he says we discussed the Companions we discussed what is the inter for the ignor can be

for pregnancy or it can be for a state of mourning right now he says we discussed we saw so fear go with the Prophet and we discussed has he married her this is Ana saying because by the way nobody knew witnessed this nikka of the Prophet with Sofia nobody witnessed it so the Prophet never had witnesses and things nobody witnessed it so unless in a society it says we asked so Oh is she going with him as a captive or is he married to her and then they see that

the Prophet she sits with the prophet and the Prophet and I'm gonna get to this had given her something to cover with so they assume they say oh because we saw her covered in a dignified way we as she must be his wife now they stopped at a location where they have a celebration and Anna says oh this must be the walima now let me pause here and go back to this the incident what happened when Kleber collapses and they had caused a lot of torment to the Muslims and they had murdered

Muslims and yes her father and because he was the chief person the key right one of the key rivals of the Prophet was her father right he he he he does die in that battle as does her husband who is also a key person in that whole tribe now what is known about Sofia it from before her uncle her father's brother AB we acid had been Muslim for years he had been a Muslim abu yaseen he visits the Prophet he is known to have supported the Prophet he always spoke well of him there are narrations saw him rations

that Sofia didn't know about the Prophet she used to speak well about him in fact she had been recently married to this chief for tribal reasons who she says to him I had a dream and she says in the dream I saw a moon landing in my lap she never mentions the prophets name or anything what does write what does right now what does her

husband say her husband right right please don't distract too much in the comments I'm gonna block people if you are being too destructive I did mention that there's a difference between the idea of a widow and a dove a divorcee that's obviously common basic knowledge everybody knows stuff like that right okay now she tells her husband I saw this moon land in my lap what does her husband do he says to her you want you you are obsessed with that Muhammad she doesn't mention the Prophet

Muhammad's name he says and he's the person you want to be with and he punches her up so bad that she's actually bruised in the hadith sahih hadith once again wench in the Battle of once the paper is over she comes to the Profi what I know her copier our hobby rat I know her her eye is all green with bruises and the Prophet asks her what happened to you and she says kin Anna beat me up and the Prophet asks her why and and and she

says because I had this dream now obviously a lot is going on because there's a whole battle everything has settled things like this people make disparaging comments about her people say oh yeah who the yahoodi a jewish woman this that and the Prophet tells them off he tells them off this is in a sardine he tells them off some people held her as a captive they'd wanted to hold her as a captive the Prophet freed her he did not marry her he freed her now

because people were showing animosity towards her the Prophet said to her right with me now this is I noted today some Muslims go kind of like you know they talk what they have like a taqwa attack and stuff like this but there's several other hadith where the Prophet has gone on his camel and he's gone past Asma the daughter of a worker seen her walking carrying any said listen why didn't you get on the camel with me come with me and she says no I don't want these kind of things were common that societies were about us man so the Prophet says to her that listen you ride

with me and it mentions in the hadith that you have wheeler the bar after he got a cloth and laid it out on the camel for her to sit and he mentions he kind of bowed his knee the Prophet this is in Asahi Adid the Prophet bowed his knee and she stepped on his knee and climbed onto this camel when people are being so rude to her this was the alakh of the Prophet towards he did not marry her he did not he freed

her told them off from abusing her said to her listen why don't you ride with me because they were abusing her because she was obviously a Jew Jewish person she and they obviously just had this huge battle and himself lowest for her to step on his on his knee and climb onto this camel when in the southeast when they're coming back they have an incident where the camel falls over and the prophet hurts himself as well and so well documented in I mean not severely but he hurts and she falls off and what

does the Prophet do and remember this is her in this kind of devastated State the Prophet gets his cloak and puts it round her and covers her this is in the hadith it did not marry her now they come back to Medina look at the way the alakh that the Prophet had demonstrated towards her she would have been naturally somebody in her head that the prophet has not approached anis is assuming because she's riding with the of the Prophet and

because the Prophet is showing his own maybe she's married to him because he says we discussed is she married to him if she is captive what's going on they don't know when they stop at such dose Roja they mentioned during haber by the way they laid siege to these fortresses they were starving Muslims were starving at some of the fortresses they mentioned that they were so because it was so difficult for them they didn't have that much preparation now even though they did get food and stuff when they had conquered when they stopped at center rohan subdue saba they

have a feast for victories they have some food now unless assumes or the people transmitting assume oh is this because he got married this is an assumption this did not happen there was no nikka that took place it would have been Haram she was in her in there anyway in the profit not problem she hadn't even embraced Islam it doesn't make any sense but yes she was sympathetic to the Prophet from before because her uncle who was very dear to her loved the Prophet and remember she is she used to get beat up by her husband because he has to have

seen that out she took a liking to the Prophet when she gets back to Medina the Prophet told her why don't you stay at such in such a person's house she didn't live with the Prophet she stayed with almost Elaine and with other people in the house this is what the books show now in that time even I share of the law and had other people made some derogatory comments towards her and the Prophet told him off they said about all that Jew and the Prophet said don't say that what's wrong with you people why are you

being like that towards her now during after this time as time goes on she does embrace Islam she sees this kind of ink because think about in this in this might of victory the attitude of the Prophet towards her even when he saw her at Haber with a gree bruised eye and he doesn't amidst all this confusion he asks hey what happened to you I mean did one of the Muslims do this and she says

no it was my husband beat me up then saying hey come with me stake because he saw some of them were mocking her then covering her when she fell off the camel giving her a place to stay he did not marry she does embrace Islam in time to come in the months that followed she does and then she herself is interested in the prophet and they do get married that is a fact but it is in accurate in accurate to assume that this all happened in one night in the Battle of heaven

it is absurd because there's no way she embraces Islam and does this and she sits her at the and she does this and she does that it doesn't make any sense so these were some of the key points I wanted to mention that look yes it is true that she did marry the Prophet but marriage requires consent in Islam everybody accepts that she married the Prophet she would have had to consent to that and unless being the key transmitter somebody who's 16 years old at the time

and people transmitting from him over his lengthy lifetime these things have become subjected to interpretate there were so many clashing narrations from Ana's countless all contradicting each other so when you so what you have to do and he does mention these things and it's mentioned oh I saw the Prophet lay out a cloth for her I saw the Prophet put out his knee and she stepped on his knee this is all anise anise they transmits that oh I saw that you know that I was beaten up and and the Prophet was talking to her I saw this kind of stuff and other people transmitted some

of these stories about Haber as well these incidents now what's interesting is when the Muslims get back and they're celebrating and if God will be spoils of war Abu Hurairah has arrived and what does Abu Hurairah say he transmits and this is in the north of Mali and in Buhari as well he says from the Battle of Haber they didn't bring anything he says Matheny mullah Munim they was not taken and as suppose of whoa except ll random one Bakr raffia except clothing cows and sheep he says

no wealth and he mentions no women there was none of these captives and slaves and stuff like this this apparatus and these in the motto of Imam Malik in the soil Buhari once again so you need to look as Muslims we need to look at the greater picture yes hadith come to us there's many hadith sometimes they conflict especially on historical accounts because these things didn't get documented two generations later so when it's something very

important like this you have to weigh it up against the teachings of the Quran to start off with what does the Quran say how it is impossible that the Prophet is preaching to people about it the women widows have this idea but then himself is like hey take Sofia it doesn't matter that is impossible it is impossible that she accepts the Prophet is saying there is no compulsion in Islam but then forces her to become Muslim it is impossible that she lives with the

Prophet happily and does all these things and her husband's just been killed and he's been killed she's been dragged away and all this and that night she's been turned into a sex slave and stuff like this it is impossible impossible these kind of things can it is impossible that all these things happen all these narrations which are all in books like Buhari and they all contradict each other that you know no this person has and no he buys her with this no he buys it with that no they stop here and no they don't stop here no they celebrate here no they don't celebrate here live they get married straight away no they don't get my straight with no they marine Medina no

they marry in this place you know know that they can't oh this is yes there's some fruits and you have to analyze these things you have to understand that look all of them are only coming through an S one person is transmitting everything and it's all conflicting so okay we've got a problem why have we got a problem because it's impossible that that is the character of the Prophet we have to be so weary we teach how we teach and relay them profit the profits character

you cannot relay him like this and it is a lie against against the profit I'm serious that when I watch these things you know even today some Muslim just said to me yes so what the Prophet gave her a choice embrace you know you can stay a slave or I can free you and you can be my wife and this was a scholar saying this to me today when ye shocks me that how can you think solo of the Prophet and you say Yahweh doesn't mind the Prophet did it must be right what do you mean if the prophet saw the Prophet wouldn't do something like that why are

you why are you projecting this nonsense onto the Prophet he didn't do that why I mean why are you so quick to accept that I mean have you even analyzed what's going on have you even looked at the text they conflict with each other why are you so quickly that shows the product you're just saying yes sir wife the Prophet was barbaric in her and just raped us so what but if he did it was okay but he didn't do that why are you accepting this and then and then to say but showing me the word rape is stupid it's stupid because obviously that what the picture you're drawing is

rape there is no other picture it doesn't whether you know it doesn't actions speak louder than words so it is unacceptable to do these kind of things and look you wouldn't tolerate this for anybody else why teach it as the actions of the Prophet because it is what Allah he it is not true this is what I'm saying so I am urging people Muslims especially please you know for the love of God do not transmit stories like that about the Prophet snatching Sophia

taking her having her on that night this is not true you are degrading you throwing the ginger of God off you know his honor off a cliff so have just pause and think for a moment what you are doing just think about it these things will lie they are not acceptable they are not acceptable if any other man was to do them you would be up in arms so why are you ascribing them to the Prophet and he said yeah but it's same Buhari but there's so many

conflicting narrations in Buhari about this incident and all this incident only comes from one company he telling me the prophet got married and nobody but honest knew only Anna snoozer and even Anna's himself in Buhari in his narrations is saying oh we weren't sure did he get married didn't he get married because there were no witnesses so he says I don't know let's he says let's wait if he covers her up then that will be it that means it's his wife no it doesn't mean that that may have been an interpretation so I hope insha'Allah this makes some sense and we have to

look afresh at things people will say look people will say that oh I want to know all the scholars that have agreed with this understanding this narrative before you look we are not held to account by the understanding of people before us they were amazing legends they were great geniuses but their own culture their own age influence their perception to some people they may have heard this story and thought well okay rather than questioning it they may have thought well because a thousand years

ago twelve hundred years ago the world was a brutal place so they may have thought a year so it doesn't matter but it does matter so just because they didn't choose to question certain things it doesn't mean it doesn't mean that you turn a blind eye we today are so desperately need wallahi to to review and revisit any attacks on Islam in light of our understand we need to do these things Allah is addressing us in the Quran after light happen do you not have

reason forget about them what about you let me relay a story to you you know they say about Albert Einstein that in 1942 he was a professor in Oxford University and he had a senior class of physics students and he gave them an exam and after the exam his assistant said to him he said to him you know professor he said am I not wrong in understanding that that was exactly the same exam you gave these students last

year and Einstein said he said yes it is and he goes well Einstein professor eyes how can you do them how can you do that how can you give these senior physics students the same exam they had last year and he said oh but the answers have changed you see this this is the thing because the time had changed what he meant is that we today have certain perspectives on certain things that

maybe we didn't last year so don't be projecting and don't we look stop this dogma and sectarian don't just say to me Oh even the Hajer said it's ok so it's ok I've respected Mahajan I may love him from that academic sense you know I've read up on his things I love these scholars no we called the yet but I'm not you know we don't have to be sheep and blind follow and throw the honor of the Prophet just for all royal tea to a sect or to a group or to

know so the honor of the messengers the honor aslam comes first okay then you can beat that's what we loyal to first and foremost people I've taken way too long today I just thought this was really important of a topic I you know I heard losing my voice now I heard this and wallah he I'm being on it hurt me to watch that I had to actually just switch it off I saw these clips and I thought to myself we don't need Islamophobes to

attack Islam Muslims have done such a great job of it themselves so it really bothered me and then some people had reached out to me with the similar question and I thought it's definitely it's necessary to kind of shed some understanding that I have perhaps you know it will make sense to you in the hope that you guys can use sha la pot this further take you to others inshallah
