The 4 Attempts to Reach the Prophet's Grave, What Really Happened?

Four times, according to classical historians, people set out to reach the grave of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, and four times the plan ended before anyone reached it. The first came from a ruler in Egypt who wanted the whole world to travel to his city instead of Madinah. Two came from secret tunnels dug beside the mosque. The last was an armed fleet on the Red Sea that came within a single day of Madinah. This documentary follows all four attempts in the order the historians record them. It also shows why the most famous of these stories was first written down almost two hundred years after it is said to have happened, while the least-known one was recorded by a traveller who saw its captives with his own eyes. At Iman Aldeen TV, we separate what is established in the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah from what comes from later historical reports, and we tell you which is which. ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 Four Attempts, One Grave 1:21 The House Beside the Mosque 4:34 A Ruler Who Wanted the World to Travel to Egypt 7:37 The Verse Recited in the Gathering 10:50 The Tunnel From the House 13:32 Two Strangers Near the Blessed Chamber 16:47 What Lay Beneath the Mat 20:11 A Fleet on the Red Sea 23:38 What No Grave Could Hold 📖 REFERENCES Qur'an - Surah At-Tawbah 9:12–13: https://quran.com/9/12-13 - Surah At-Tawbah 9:32: https://quran.com/9/32 - تفسير ابن كثير on At-Tawbah 9:32: https://quran.com/at-tawbah/32/tafsirs/en-tafisr-ibn-kathir Hadith - Sahih al-Bukhari 4449 (his passing in the house of عائشة رضي الله عنها): https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4449 - Sahih al-Bukhari 1389 (his burial in her house): https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1389 - Sahih al-Bukhari 1390 (the warning against taking graves as places of worship): https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1390 - Sahih al-Bukhari 1392 (عمر رضي الله عنه asks to be buried beside his two companions): https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1392 - Sahih al-Bukhari 2029 (the house of عائشة رضي الله عنها beside the mosque): https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2029 - Sahih al-Bukhari 1189 (journeys only to three mosques): https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1189 - Sunan Abi Dawud 1047 (sending blessings on Friday), graded Sahih by al-Albani: https://sunnah.com/abudawud:1047 Historical reports (as quoted in IslamQA answer 104053) - الذهبي رحمه الله، سير أعلام النبلاء (15/174) - السمهودي رحمه الله، وفاء الوفا بأخبار دار المصطفى (2/648–653) - الأسنوي رحمه الله، نصيحة أولي الألباب في منع استخدام النصارى - المطري رحمه الله، الإعلام فيمن دخل المدينة من الأعلام - ابن سعدون القيرواني رحمه الله، تأسي أهل الإيمان فيما جرى على مدينة القيروان - ابن جبير رحمه الله، رحلة ابن جبير (pp. 34–35) - IslamQA 104053: هل سبقت محاولات لنبش قبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ https://islamqa.info/ar/answers/104053 The four historical accounts in this video come from later historical works and are not established at the level of the Qur'an or authentic Sunnah.
