QuizTime(53)
who was that Sahabi being eighty year old fought & was buried at the walls
or land of Constantinople?
Ans: Abu
Ayyoob Al-Ansari(r.a)
Despite the fact that he was more than eighty years,
he responded to the caller for Jihad to go to Constantinople. He carried his
sword on his shoulder and said, “Allah The Almighty Ordered us to go for Jihad
in every situation. Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {Go forth, whether light or heavy} [Quran
9:41]”
Abu Ayyoob (r.a) was injured during this
battle. When the commander of the army, Yazeed ibn Mu‘awiyah, visited him and
asked him about his need, Abu Ayyoob (r.a) said, “When I die, carry
me and bury me in the land of the enemy.” He added, “I will narrate to you a
Hadeeth that I heard from the Prophet (Pbuh) : ‘Whoever dies without associating any
partner with Allah will enter Paradise.’ [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]”
His wish was fulfilled. In the morning, the Romans
said to the Muslims, “Something great happened to you last night.” The Muslims
said, “One of the greatest Companions of our Prophet (pbuh) who was
among the early people to embrace Islam, died yesterday and we buried him where
you saw us. By Allah, if you disturb his grave, you will never be allowed to
practice your rites in the Arab lands as long as we rule them.” The Romans used
to take care of the grave and visit it.
He was ascetic and did not like extravagance or
luxury. Once he visited a Muslim and found him decorating his home with
curtains. He nodded his head in disapproval and left them. He was one of the
devout worshippers at night and a brave fighter during the day.
