Continuation of the story of Zam-Zam...
Their forefather is Ismayl (as). And, thus Quraish told Abdul Muttalib that Zam Zam belongs to everyone. While, Abdul Muttalib claimed that the Zam-Zam belongs to him as it was he who dream about it.
So, in order to resolve the dispute, they went to someone who is in Bani Saad. Bani Saad is further away from them, it is close to Ash-Shams. However, it is very far from Arabian Peninsula.
And, group of leaders went there , bringing their food. Then, during their journey, they get to the point where they ran out of food & water. And, all of them were preparing for death.
Abdul Muttalib and all his clans were actually planning to go to one fortune teller in Bani Saaad. But, they came to point in realising that they are going to die, so they thought of something noble to do before they die. They planned to dig their graves, and the one who dies first will be buried by others and so on. In that way, everyone will be able to get buried except for one person. But, even that person, will be able to get to his own grave & prepare for his own death. Allahu Akhbar, this was their plan..
So, when they were digging, Abdul Muttalib walked to his camel. And, suddenly water started to gush miraculously from the feet of the camel. And, the camel belongs to Abdul Mutallib.
From, the distance that everyone were in , they were all immediately shocked. And, they said to Abdul Muttalib that he should be the owner of Zam-Zam.
-it is not like only Abdul Muttalib will be having Zam-Zam.
-Others, will quench their thirst from it as well.
-However, the leader/owner of Zam-Zam well will be Abdul Muttalib.
All of them acknowledged that Abdul Muttalib should be leader, they came to a conclusion to go back to Mecca without proceeding any further.
And, Abdul Muttalib was the owner, and he used to give Hajjis water. That Hajj was the pagant Hajj as mentioned before.
And, everyone is drinking from that water till today. And, most of us have Zam-Zam in our homes.
Prophet Muhammad SAW later said
"The water of Zam-Zam is whatever that intention that is drunk for"
-If, your intention is to be cured, you will be cured.
-If, your intention is to pass your exam, you will pass your exams.
-And, for all your intentions as long it is noble & Allah accepts that.
May Allah swt allow us to have Zam-Zam all the time as it even protect us from devil.
Levture 3.1| Life Of Prophet Muhammad SAW-Mufti Menk
This was the sign as Abdul Mutallib was already informed by the king of Yemen, one of the Jewish people, some of the fortune tellers that something big is going to happen from his lineage.
And, he was been informed that one of his grandchildren is going to be the top leader who will be changing everything. Abdul Muttalib was constantly informed about this by various people.
This is a sign that he his a chosen man. Allah swt chose him to be the grandfather of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Furthermore, Abdul Muttalib look after Prophet Muhammad SAW.
The next story that is worth mentioning:
It is the story of an Abysinnian man who became as a King in Yemen, and his name is Abraha. He was a Christian man who built a church in Yemen , & he wanted people to flock there. There are many reasons for that such as to worship in that place, business purpose.
However, he was told that there is a house in Mecca where everyone goes & he was told to deal with them if he wants people to come to his place. He informed them that he had one big elephant and he will walk with his armies to Mecca.
*Majority of the narration says that there was only one big,vast elephant. * And, the rest were camels &so on. *However, some historians says that there were many elephants.
*However, Quran states that there was only one elephant:
Al-Fil : 1
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحٰبِ الْفِيلِ
Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?
★Al Fil الْفِيلِ
-Which means only one elephant
-So, it called as the people of the elephant
-It was a big huge elephant and armies came along wih it.
And, they were walking towards Makkah Al-Mukkaramah..
ِ
Lecture 3.3|Life Of Prophet Muhammad SAW
Abraha & his army came marching towards Kabbah.
The elephant refused to go any further. It actually stopped moving. When, they beat it up & made it turn so that the elephant will move, it still didn't move. Subhan'Allah, Allah stopped the elephant from moving.
However, they still proceed to move towards Kabbah. Out of nowhere, birds flew above them . The birds has 3 pebbles , which is the size of a pea or even smaller. The pebbles were made of clay. And, they released those pebbles from a very high altitude.
The pebbles came down with a huge force.
-We have learnt about gravity, Newton laws etc.
-If, we take a look at this example(Al-Fil) : Due to the altitude of this pebbles, when it is released from a great height, it went straight to the men & killed them on the spot.
People were watching all these. Didn't, Abdul Muttalib said that house has its lord who will protect it?
We should always remember that Kabbah is protected by Allah swt.

Al-Fil : 1
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحٰبِ الْفِيلِ
Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?
Allah swt destroyed them.
For, some of them, the pebbles did not get through them. However, they were injured & inflicted with disease.
And, Abraha himself, his fingers started to drop. And, as they were proceeding to their homes, Abraha's hands,leg fell off. And, he eventually died.
This happened before the birth of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Then, came the blessed birth of Prophet Muhammad SAW on which the whole world changed .
If, you look at us and when we look at Prophet Muhammad SAW life as mentioned we need to understand who was he in order to understand the revelation.
His name is
Mohamed ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul Muttalib ibn Hashim
Prophet Muhammad SAW was from the clan of Hashim . And, Hashim belongs to one of the clan from Quraysh.
His father's name was Abdullah and his grandfather's name is Abdul Muttalib.
Prophet Muhammad SAW was born in Mecca.
It was in the house of Abdul Muttalib that he was born. And, Prophet Muhammad SAW father passed away when Prophet Muhammad SAW was in the womb of his mother(7 months).
Prophet Muhammad's SAW father was 25 years old.
The historians says that Allah swt took the father's life away as soon as his seed was planted on Prophet Muhammad's mother . And, his job in this dunya was over.
Lecture 3.5|Life Of Prophet Muhammad SAW|Mufti Menk
And, Prophet Muhammad's SAW mother was from similar clan of Prophet Muhammad's SAW father.
She stated, "It was the easiest period( pregnancy)". She meant that she did not feel any pain during the childbirth. She further mentioned that "I felt my childbirth like I am never giving childbirth".
The most blessed soul was then born.
Allah swt caused the death of the father of Prophet Muhammad SAW in Medinah. Prophet Muhammad's SAW father went to Al-Shams,then he visited his relatives in Al-Medinah. And, on his way , he passed away in Medinah. Prophet Muhammad SAW at later stage of his life,he went back there.
Prophet Muhammad SAW unlike all the children, the narration mentions that he came with his hands down & face was looking up at the sky. He was already circumcised & his umbilical cord was already seperated.
-This is being mentioned in most of the narration.
Some of them says that the circumcision was already done while some says Abdul Muttalib did it after 7 days , and he fed people due to happiness that a grandson is born. Furthermore, Abdul Muttalib already knows that in his mind that this child is going to be great as many people told him about it. They did not know that he is going to be nabi but they knew that something great is going to happen due to Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Lecture 3.6 |Life Of Prophet Muhammad SAW|Mufti Menk
The mother of Prophet Muhammad SAW says :
"When, I am expecting Prophet Muhammad SAW to deliver, I saw a light that is coming out from my belly, that even palaces of Al-Shams lit and I knew that is something is going to happen"
And, it is reported that the fire worshipped by the Persians, in Iran was extinguished and they had to rekindle it.
And, it is further reported that the idols that were in Kabbah, dropped down on that day. The Palace of Kisra(Persia) , part of the structure,balcony was dropped on that day, and they had to re-build it.
These were all the signs which was then interpreted that Prophet Muhammad SAW message is going to spread everywhere.
We may have encountered, just before someone dies,they might have informed us that he/she is not going to see us again. And, they might have died after that.
★It is not his sixth sense that enabled him to say that.
★ It is Allah who enabled him to make such statements as a lesson for those who are coming later on.
However, we busy engross ourselves om pondering that how he knows about it or did he just guessed.
-it is not important to know whether he knows about his time of death or not.
-We are supposed to question ourselves on whether we are prepared to be in that condition.
Lecture 3.7-Life-of-Prophet-Muhammad-PBUH-Mufti-Menk
In a narration, it is stated that Prophet Muhammad SAW was born with his finger(the pointing finger, the finger of Shahadah) pointing upwards.
-This is to depict to worship Allah alone .
Prophet Muhammad's SAW mother says that
"Abdul Muttalib, his grandfather loved him so much. During the time of his( Propphet Muhammad(SAW)) birth, Abdul Muttalib was sitting in Kabbah. While, I covered him with utensil and sent for Abdul Muttalib to be called so that he would be first one to see him. When, Abdul Muttalib came back, the utensil that was covering him was broken into two pieces, while he was perfectly fine. The grandfather was very delighted to see him"
Prophet Muhammad SAW was extremely close with Abdul Muttalib as his father has passed away.
************
Many people have fabricated miracles about Prophet Muhammad's SAW birth. It is not use to fabricate narrations about him. In his Seerah, we can find the miracles & the true value of Prophet Muhammad SAW. By, making fabrication, it only makes the Seerah to drop its value.
Some of the false narrations are:
1) During the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW birth, the minara of Haram made Sajda
2) The golden stand (Maqame Ibrahim) got up and made sajda
-But, we need to know there was no minar or golden stand during that time.
