The Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam & Khadeejah RA's necklace! https://youtube.com/shorts/n_TdBJbPqhE?si=PYEHa36nZemPoTez

The Door of Banu Shaybah and the Dispute over Al-Hajar al-Aswad Around 5 years before Prophethood, when the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam was around 35 years old, the Quraysh rebuilt the Ka'bah. When they came to the replacing of the Black Stone, they almost ended up warring with one another. This is to the extent that Banu Abd al-Dar and Banu Adiyy Ibn Ka'b cut their skin and placed their blood into a bowl and then dipped their hands into the blood making a pact that they would fight until the death to place the Black Stone into the Ka'bah. These two tribes were known as La'aqah al-Dam. After 4/5 days passed with all the tribes about to break into open war, Abu Umayyah ibn al-Mughirah al-Makhzumi, the brother of the later enemy of Islam, Al-Walid Ibn al-Mughirah, and uncle of Khalid Ibn al-Walid, suggested, "O Quraysh, I feel that we allow the next person to enter the door of Banu Shaybah to decide amongst you over who should place the stone back into the Ka'bah." As we know, it was the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam who entered the door and provided the genius solution that we know all about. The door of Banu Shaybah which the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam entered is in the video.

Dar al-Nadwah & Qusayy Ibn Kilab Perhaps the most celebrated ancestor of the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam was Qusayy ibn Kilab. His name was Zayd and his father had passed away and so his mother married someone from Syria relocating to Syria. In Syria, someone insulted him by saying that he should go back to Makkah. He called the bluff and decided to resettle back in his homeland of Makkah. Of course, Quraysh at this point were not in charge of the Ka’bah but Qusayy managed to gain control of the Ka’bah from the Khuza’ah tribe. He was the first Qurashi to have control of the Ka’bah as well as the feeding of pilgrims and providing them water. It was now that Qusayy created the DAR AL-NADWAH which essentially played the role of a parliament for the Quraysh. It was in Dar al-Nadwah that Quraysh would have all their meetings. And it was here on 26th of Safar that a cobra meeting was held between the Quraysh. 14 years of Prophethood had passed and the Quraysh were meeting to thwart the migration of the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam to Madinah Munawwarah. They settled upon attempting to assassinate the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam. Years later, after Islam had overtaken all of the Arab tribes, Hakim ibn Hizam had taken control of the now defunct Dar al-Nadwah. He sold it for 100,000 dirhams and when asked by Mu’awiyah RA, “Why did you sell the nobility of your tribe?!“ He replied, “Indeed, nobility today is only through piety! All the money I gained through the sale, I have donated it to charity.“

The Ajyad Valleys and the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam as a shepherd

Hilf al-Fudul When the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam was approximately 20 years old, a pact took place between Banu Zuhrah, Banu Taym and Banu Hashim gathered in the house of Abdullah Ibn Jud'an (a polytheist who never accepted Islam but was considered one of the leaders of Quraysh) and made a pact that they would ensure the sanctity of ANYONE who enters the Haram. The Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam witnessed this pact and stated as narrated by Al-Humaydi RA and quoted by Ibn Kathir RA: لقد شهدت في دار عبد الله بن جدعان حلفا لو دعيت به في الإسلام لأجبت تحالفوا أن يردوا الفضول على أهلها وأن لا يعز ظالم مظلوما Indeed I witnessed in the house of Abdullah Ibn Jud'an a pact, which if I was called to it in the religion of Islam, I would agree to it. They agreed that they would return the rights of each individual and that no oppressor would overpower an oppressed. The cause of this pact was that a man from Banu Zubayd (a Yemeni tribe from Zayd Ibn Kahlan) came to Makkah and sold a cloth to Al-Aas ibn Wa'il who was from Banu Sahm (a tribe from Quraysh). But Al-Aas ibn Wa'il refused to pay him. This poor man went to the various tribes of Quraysh who all refused to help him. So he now went and stood upon the mountain Abu Qubays and shouted the couplets: يا آل فهر لمظلوم بضاعته ببطن مكة نائي الدار والنفر ومحرم أشعث لم يقض عمرته يا للرجال وبين الحجر والحجر إن الحرام لمن تمت كرامته ولا حرام بثوب الفاجر الغدر O family of Fihr (Quraysh) which of you will help an oppressed man in regard to his clothes Who is in the valley of Makkah, far removed from his home and people He is in the state of Ihram and has not completed even his Umrah O men sitting between the black stone and Hateem Indeed sanctity is for that person who is noble There is no sanctity for a cloth taken by a wretched and deceiving individual As soon as Zubayr Ibn Abdil Muttalib heard this announcement, he announced a meeting between Banu Zuhrah, Banu Taym and Banu Hashim in the house of Abdullah Ibn Jud'an and they made the pact of Hilf al-Fudul which the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam witnessed. They then collectively walked to Al-Aas ibn Wa'il and grabbed the stolen cloth from him and gave it back to the man from Banu Zubayd. The house of Abdullah Ibn Jud'an as shown in the video is just outside of the gate of King Abdul Aziz and the mountain Abu Qubays is where the King's palace is.
