The Firsts (Sahaba Stories) | The Forerunners of Islam

The Children of Ta’if Who Stoned the Prophet ﷺ | The Firsts

Imagine having stoned the Prophet ﷺ as a child, only to realize who he was as an adult. How do you even become Muslim on that day? Were any of the children even listening to what he was saying while they carried out the brutal order to stone him? Since the Prophet ﷺ had hope in their Islam, did he get to see the fruit of that hope in his lifetime?

This episode of The Firsts is part of the “Muslim of Ta’if” series.

The Firsts is a weekly video series that chronicles the lives of the Sahaba (the companions of the Prophet ﷺ) during and after the time of the Prophet ﷺ.

This transcript was auto-generated using AI and may contain misspellings.
The Last Sun The last sun, insha'Allah ta'ala, that I want to come back to is the children of Ta'if as a whole.
The children of Ta'if. Now, Allah knows, subhanAllah, how many of the descendants of Ta'if went on to become scholars, narrators of hadith to establish civilizations.
Some of you may even have in your bloodline, you are descendants perhaps of someone in Ta'if. And don't go say you're hard-headed and that means you're from Ta'if or you're giving me a hard time.
But Allah knows the Muslims that came and presumably speaking, right, all of those kids that lived became Muslim because Ta'if came back and embraced Islam.
The delegation came back, Al-Lat was destroyed and Ta'if became a Muslim city. Ta'if became a Muslim city.
Those kids that stoned the Prophet (ﷺ), those slaves that beat him, the fools that were unleashed on him, not everyone has an Abu Mahdura story where I got to go in front of the Prophet (ﷺ) and sort of redeem myself.
For the most part, most of them actually became Tabi'een. Why? Because when they met the Prophet (ﷺ), they didn't believe in him. And Thaqeef, this tiny delegation went to Madinah after the siege, embraced Islam,
then came back to Ta'if and they embraced Islam as a result. But they didn't meet the Prophet (ﷺ) as believers. And the Prophet (ﷺ) didn't live much longer after that, right? I mean he died the next year (ﷺ).
So imagine being that kid who became Muslim and explaining to your kids, I was one of those kids that stoned the Prophet (ﷺ). But I didn't know any better.
And subhanAllah, this is something that also from a manhaj of da'wah, from a methodology of da'wah, when children are taught to hate, it's unnatural to them, right?
And so you see kids that are groomed in something so terrible, in something so anti-fitrah, right?
But eventually, if you cater to that fitrah and nurture that fitrah, you have hope in helping them overcome. And that's why you have to continue the da'wah and see past even sometimes the abrasive adults that are in front of you.
And say the hope is in the future, the hope is in the future, the hope is in the future. So the majority of the kids of Ta'if, with the exception of a handful, tabi'een, not sahaba, even though they're Muslims.
But let's go back to the Prophet (ﷺ) in his first narration describing Ta'if and looking back. Aisha (رضي الله عنها) says, that I said to the Prophet (ﷺ),
هل أتى عليك يوم كان أشد من يوم أحد؟ Have you ever had a day worse in your life than the day of Uhud?
قال لقد لقيت من قومك ما لقيت وكان أشد ما لقيت منهم يوم العقبة
إذ عرضت نفسي على ابن عبد ياليل فلم يجبني إلى ما أردت فانطلقت وأنا مهموم على وجهي
So he said (ﷺ) that I have met your people as they are or I encountered your people as they are and the worst of it was the day of Aqaba as I had an audience with Ibn Abd Yalil
and he did not respond as I had hoped So he said so I departed and my face was مهموم like I look like I was in grief
I was in all sorts of issues and he said that as I was going through this and as I was being punished and tortured in those moments
قال فلم أستفق إلا وأنا بقرن الثعالب I did not get to rest until I found myself in Qarn Tha'alib Go back to that original garden of Addas
فرفعت رأسي فإذا أنا بسحابة قد أظلتني فنظرت فإذا فيها جبريل عليه السلام فناداني
He said I looked up and I saw a cloud that came right over me in Qarn Tha'alib And then what arose from that cloud was Jibreel (عليه السلام) And he called me
فقال إن الله قد سمع قول قومك لك وما ردوا عليك وقد بعث إليك ملك الجبال لتأمره
He said that Allah has heard what you have said to your people and the way that they have responded to you And Allah عز وجل has sent to you with me the angel who can move mountains
لتأمره بما شئت so that you can tell him to do whatever you want with them فناداني ملك الجبال فسلم علي So that angel who the Prophet (ﷺ) had never met
He called out to me and he said السلام عليك يا رسول الله Peace be unto you O Messenger of Allah So the Prophet (ﷺ) responded to the Salam And he said to the Prophet (ﷺ)
يا محمد ذلك فيما شئت إن شئت أن أطبق عليهم الأخشبين If you want O Messenger of Allah it is up to you I can crush them between the two mountains
This can all be over now That's it That's it These people have given you too much trouble This was the worst day of your life
And imagine how much Allah loves his Messenger (ﷺ) أحب خلق الله إلى الله The most beloved of Allah's creation to Him (ﷺ)
And Allah الرحمن الرحيم الودود And من عادى لي وليا فقد آذنته بالحرب فقد آذنته بالحرب If you take a friend of Allah and you hurt them Allah wages war on you
So what about a person or the people that gave the Prophet (ﷺ) the worst day of his life So the angel says we can finish this right now Before your own two eyes I'll crush them all
And the Prophet (ﷺ) said specifically بل أرجو أن يخرج الله من أصلابهم من يعبد الله وحده لا يشرك به شيئا And the Prophet (ﷺ) said no
Because I hope that maybe from their children there will be people who worship Allah And they don't attribute a partner to Allah سبحانه وتعالى
By the way here سبحان الله is one of the purest expressions of the ikhlas of the sincerity of the Prophet (ﷺ) Not just because he didn't want the people killed after what they just did to him I mean the wounds are still fresh
And this is coming on top of the worst tragedies in Mecca too Right And he justified (ﷺ) in saying just finish them So it's not just the ikhlas of the Prophet (ﷺ) The sincerity of the Prophet (ﷺ) in sparing them
But it's also the fact that the Prophet (ﷺ) Did not make his da'wah about his personal feelings (ﷺ) He was still able to see through all of that
I want their kids to worship Allah He didn't even say maybe their kids will believe in me And their kids will accept me And their kids will love me He said maybe from their children
There will be offspring that worship Allah سبحانه وتعالى And that don't associate any partners with him The da'wah has to be about Allah سبحانه وتعالى And you look at the Prophet (ﷺ)
Before the battle of Badr And the Prophet (ﷺ) is saying Oh Allah give me what you promised me اللهم إن تهلك هذه العصابة لن تعبد في الأرض Oh Allah if this group of people is destroyed You're not going to be worshipped on earth My concern is not Muhammad (ﷺ) Being shamed
I'm saying the Prophet (ﷺ) himself His concern is not the Prophet (ﷺ) himself being shamed Or himself being hurt Or his name being humiliated or tarnished Or the wounds of himself (ﷺ) His concern is لا إله إلا الله
Will the people say لا إله إلا الله Whatever you have to do to me In order to accomplish that Oh Allah I'm pleased If I have to be dragged through the mud As long as in the soil of that mud There are the seeds that will bear fruit
For لا إله إلا الله الحمد لله Go ahead I'm okay with that That's the spirit of da'wah That's the methodology the Prophet (ﷺ) is giving to us And the Prophet (ﷺ) specifically has hope in them Also the fact that the Prophet (ﷺ) said
أصلابهم From their offspring There's an element here And it's a very subtle part of the words here That the Prophet (ﷺ) is maybe not even anticipating That they'll actually have a first-hand encounter With any of those kids becoming Muslim
But maybe eventually in their offspring In their descendants There will be some people that wake up To what was done to the Prophet (ﷺ) And wake up to the message of لا إله إلا الله But spare them It's not their fault
It's not their fault And there might be some good That comes out of them That is when Allah سبحانه وتعالى sent to the Prophet (ﷺ) عداس That is when the jinn came But now you start to see other things Do you think any of the kids
Were listening to the Prophet (ﷺ) And going That actually makes sense Do you think that any of the kids Who were stoning the Prophet (ﷺ) Especially the enslaved Allah knows if some of them made it out in the 23
That came with Abu Bakr Do you think that some were saying Why are we stoning this man? Right, we're following orders But would anyone who looked at the Prophet (ﷺ) Ever hurt him? No, like why are we doing this to him?
This doesn't make sense Don't you think their fitrah kicked in? SubhanAllah there is only one narration That you find Directly of a person who was A young man, a child When they witnessed the Prophet (ﷺ)
Entering Ta'if And remembered something His name is Khalid Ibn Abi Jabal Al-Adwani Khalid Ibn Abi Jabal Al-Adwani
And this is narrated In Sahih Ibn Hibban So it's an authentic hadith An authentic narration to him From his son, Abdurrahman Who was asking him to tell his story About the Prophet (ﷺ)
And how he basically became a companion And he said That I was there When the Prophet (ﷺ) Came to Ta'if So I was a young man, I was a child Or that's the implication
And he said And I remember the Prophet (ﷺ) It's like I'm looking at him على قوس أو عصا As if he was like leaning on an arrow Or leaning on a stick (ﷺ) And he was reading
والسماء والطارق وما أدراك ما الطارق النجم الثاقب إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق خلق من ماء دافق يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب
Until the end of Surah At-Tariq And we know by the way That part of the da'wah of the Prophet (ﷺ) Was sometimes just to recite the Quran in public Especially Surah At-Tariq That's why if you remember One of the children of Abu Lahab
Utaiba mocked the Prophet (ﷺ) I don't believe in you And I don't believe in this نجم الثاقب That you're talking about But he remembered the image of the Prophet (ﷺ) Desperate Lost without a people around him Standing in front of strangers
Leaning on something And reciting Then imagine He says I memorized it In the days of ignorance as a disbeliever Like it was so profound
What the Prophet (ﷺ) recited Was so profound to me Even though I didn't become Muslim I never forgot what he said And then he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) Imagine By the way I memorized Surah At-Tariq
When you came to Ta'if And you were stoned and beaten And turned out He said وعيتها في الجاهلية وأنا مشرك ثم قرأتها في الإسلام And then I had the honor of reading it in Islam
So I remembered it in the days of ignorance And I remembered it in Islam I recited it in Islam فدعتني ثقيف So Thaqeef said to me ما سمعت من هذا الرجل What did you hear from this man
Like you can imagine He wasn't just beating the Prophet (ﷺ) He was also trying to make sure That he didn't pollute anyone Right That they got it out of their minds What did you see? What did you hear? Get it out of your minds
Right So they said ما سمعت من هذا الرجل What did you hear فقرأتها عليهم I read Surah At-Tariq to them When they interrogated me What did you hear from this man فقال من معهم من قريش
Quraish said Or with them in this interrogation phase How did you deal with the Prophet (ﷺ) When he came to Mecca Sorry when he came to Thaqeef They said نحن أعلم بصاحبنا We know our companion better We know him better than you know him
لو كنا نعلم أنه كما يقول حق لاتبعناه If we knew him to be what he claims to be Then we would have followed him first So forget about it Whatever you heard from him Get it out of your mind now But you can't take it out of his mind
And you can't take it out of his heart So imagine subhanAllah This young man coming back to the Prophet (ﷺ) و السماء و الطارق و ما أدراك ما الطارق You remember that You heard that You never know who's listening You never know who's listening
SubhanAllah from the children as well Then we come to The delegation of Thaqeef itself So the oldest person That the scholars mentioned Was one of the chiefs who mocked him (ﷺ)
The youngest person Was a young man named Uthman Ibn Abi Al-As Uthman Ibn Abi Al-As (رضي الله تعالى عنه) And Imam Al-Dhahabi (رحمه الله) Introduces him Uthman Ibn Abi Al-As
أبو عبد الله الثقفي الأمير الفاضل المؤتمن أبو عبد الله الثقفي الطائفي الأمير the leader الفاضل A man of virtue المؤتمن the entrusted one
أبو عبد الله الثقفي الطائفي He was the youngest man He was the youth of the delegation He was the youngest person Amongst those that came from Ta'if
To embrace the Prophet (ﷺ) So the Prophet (ﷺ)'s hope His du'a directly translates To a young man like that Now What Ibn Al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) writes And what other scholars write Is that there is actually evidence To suggest that he had
Actually become Muslim Before that delegation But he hid it from his people So he actually came to the Prophet (ﷺ) And embraced Islam before that But he was going along with the flow To not compromise himself And to be able to actually assist
So he's considered different From the rest of the group And when they came to the Prophet (ﷺ) He already had some of the Quran He already had some of the Fiqh He already knew some of the things
From that delegation of Ta'if So he wasn't one of the leaders That was challenging the Prophet (ﷺ) On every single thing But he kept on hiding that from his people And the Prophet (ﷺ) أعجبه وأحبه صلى الله عليه وسلم
The Prophet (ﷺ) Was impressed by him And the Prophet (ﷺ) Loved this young Uthman ibn Abi Al-As So at the end of it When they finished their famous conversation Bani Thaqif and Rasulullah (ﷺ) The Prophet (ﷺ)
Appointed Uthman ibn Abi Al-As To be their leader So he appointed Uthman ibn Abi Al-As The Amir of Ta'if You go back as their leader Because the Prophet (ﷺ) Trusted the Islam of that youth
More than anybody else And he sent him back To be in that place And Uthman ibn Abi Al-As Was known for his intellect Was known for his zeal Was known for his goodness
His purity of character And so even though he went with Thaqif He was the leader of the group He left Medina as the leader of the group And that's what the Prophet (ﷺ) Wanted to see in him And the Prophet (ﷺ)
Appointed him As the leader of Thaqif In the reign of Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) He also became the leader of Bahrain He became the Amir of Oman During the reigns of Umar and Uthman (رضي الله عنهما)
And he became a fierce warrior as well So he's one of the main warriors That fought against the Persian Empire That led multiple expeditions Against the Persians And Abu Bakr and Umar Used to cite the love
The Prophet (ﷺ) had for him Like the Prophet (ﷺ) It's as if he told them when they left Medina By the way that young man is something special You don't know that young man from Thaqif But he's something special As if he's giving them wasiyah (ﷺ)
So take care of this young man And use him wisely And as he led these multiple Military expeditions and these campaigns He settled there in Al-Basra And in Basra He then transmitted numerous ahadith
Taught lessons in Basra as well And one of his students also became Al-Hassan Al-Basri (رحمه الله) And he also passed away (رضي الله عنه) In Al-Basra So there's a strange SubhanAllah connection between Thaqif and Basra
That exists here The pipeline where these people Ended up giving the Prophet (ﷺ) Or started off giving the Prophet (ﷺ) A hard time and ended up spreading Islam To one of the cities One of the strongholds That we find in Islamic history
And again SubhanAllah just shows you What was the interest of the messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) That they worship Allah (ﷺ) That they spread the word of Allah (ﷺ) What happened to the other children That became Tabi'een
We don't know Where the knowledge and Islamic thinkers Come from those people We don't know We can trace some of them in history But we don't know for the most part What happened to the other 23 slaves
We don't know Whose jinn exist today That are descendants of Qabail Al-Jinn The group of jinn that embraced Islam The first jinn to embrace Islam After Ta'if We don't know
Probably still exist today And they have their story of being descendants Of the Qabail Al-Jinn
