The cleavage of the Prophet's chest, the death of Aminah and Abdul Muttalib

Imam Muslim narrated in his saheeh that when Prophet Muhammad -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- was playing with children, then the angel Jibril cut open his chest and took out a clot of black blood and threw it away from his heart and then washed his heart with a vessel made of gold and in it Zamzam water so that the heart is clean and restore it to normal.

The children reported to Halimah that Muhammad had been killed, then they welcomed the Prophet Muhammad -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- with a changed face. Halimah, as a mother who breastfed the Prophet -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him-, was afraid of the strange incident that happened to the Prophet Muhammad -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him-, so she returned him to his mother until he was 6 years old. 

In that year, Aminah invited Muhammad -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- to visit the tomb of the his father in Medina with Abdul Muththollib and Umm Aiman. On the way home, Aminah fell ill and died in the City of al-Abwa (a city between Mecca & Medina).

Eventually he was raised by his grandfather, and he was loved by his grandfather more than any other children. Abdul Muttollib had a mat near the Ka'bah where his children did not dare to sit on the mat out of respect for his father, but he allowed him -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- to sit with him on the mat, and he rubbed his back -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- and he pay attention to what his grandfather is doing. When the Prophet -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- was 8 years old, his grandfather passed away. And before he died, Abdul Muththollib handed over the care of Muhammad -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- to Abu Tholib, Abdullah's sibling (Mohammad -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- father's).

Renovation of the Kaaba

When Muhammad Sholallahu'alaihi wa sallam was 35 years old, the Quraysh gathered to renovate the Ka'bah.  When the building has been renovated and it remains only to put Hajar Aswad, then there is a dispute between the tribes who will place Hajar Aswad because they think it is an honor, until almost a war breaks out. Then after that they agreed on a certain day that the first to enter the Grand Mosque on that day will make a decision between them. And it turned out that the first to enter that day was Muhammad Sholallahu'alaihi wa sallam. So they said "This is al-Amin, we bless him!".  So Muhammad Sholallahu'alaihi wa sallam asked for a cloth and put hajar aswad on it. After that he asked each of the tribes to hold the cloth and bring hajar aswad together to put hajar aswad back in place so that when he arrived at his place, Muhammad Sholallahu'alaihi wa sallam took it and put it in its place.  Thus completed the renovation of the Ka'bah, and thus Muha...

Muhammad -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- Breastfeeding

Abdul Muttollib, after hearing about the birth of Rasulullah -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him-, took him to the Ka'bah and gave him the name Muhammad, a name that was foreign to the Arabs at that time. Then Abdul Muththollib looked for a Bedouin Arab woman to breastfeed the Prophet -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- which is the habit of urban Arabs to keep their children away from various urban diseases and to be strong and master fluent Arabic. However, at that time, no Bedouin Arab woman was willing to breastfeed her because he -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- was an orphan, so it was feared that no one would pay for her breastfeeding fee. Finally there was a woman named Halimah bintu Abi Dzu'aib as-Sa'diah who came from Bani Sa'ad, she was the one who was willing to breastfeed him. This was because Halimah felt sorry for him -peace and prayer of Allah be upon him- and did not want to return to her village without bringing a baby to breastfeed. Fina...

Sirah means the way.  Sirah Nabawiyyah means the life journey of the Prophet Sholallahu'alaihi wa sallam. The importance of studying the sirah of the prophet:   1. Among the forms of love to him.  2. One way to recognize his words and behavior that a Muslim should imitate and emulate (Surah al-Ahzab 21).  3. Strengthening faith in the heart.  4. Understand the verses of the Koran and the reasons for their descent, and understand the hadiths of the Prophet.  5.
