Field trip continued
Below are pictures from the field trip.. continued (alhamdulillah it was a jam packed day!)
Above: Surah Tahrim verses about honey were revealed here. The Prophet (saw)would visit Maria here, after he had requested her to move. He (saw) would visit her after `asr everyday and Abu Bakr (ra) would be his companion on his excursions just so he could spend more time with the beloved. This is also the place where Ibrahim (son of the prophet (saw) and Maria) was born.
Mukhariq (a Jew) gave a garden of trees to the prophet (saw). The Prophet (saw) said he was the best of the Jews. There is a hadith that states, “By the earth and the spittle of the saliheen, the sick get well.” This is the location of the sacred dirt of Madinah which is a shifa and a cure for any illness and disease.
Above: (sorry this picture is out of order). This picture was taken on my last night in Madina-- where a couple of sisters and I went to give our last salaams to the prophet sallalahu alayhi wa salaam and his companions. We also sent our salaams to all those buried in the Baqi` cemetery (although Saudi guards made us move away!) Under the green dome is the exact burial spot of the nabi sallalahu alayhi wa salam.
This is the well where the Prophet (saw) did ghusl in. He used 7 water skins which is equivalent to 14 gallons. He did wudu and poured wudu back into the well. He also poured honey into the well to make it a shifa. Ali (ra) wanted to be washed with this water when he died. He also was washed with 7 water skins. This is one of the wells of paradise called Bi`r ul- Gars.
Above: This note was in our air conditioned Mercedes buses. I just thought it was ironic that they made cleanliness during hajj only as a religious and health requirement; what about the rest of the year?
On our drive out of Madina to Mecca, I managed to take a picture of Janat-ul-Baqi`.
