QuizTime(98) Who was that Sahabi, after He was martyred His body raised in the sky and then brought back down?

 

 

Ans: Aamir bin Fuhayrah (R.a).

      He was Freed slave of Abu Bakar(r.a). ‘Aamir bin Fuhayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who witnessed the two Battles of Badr and Uhud and died as a martyr during the Battle of Bi’r Ma‘oonah.

The great Companion, ‘Aamir bin Fuhayrah, may Allah be pleased with him: When the Companions were killed in Bi’r Ma‘oonah and ‘Amr bin Umayyah Adh-Dhamri, may Allah be pleased with him, was captured; ‘Aamir bin At-Tufayl pointed to a killed person and asked, “Who is this?” ‘Amr bin Umayyah, may Allah be pleased with him, said to him, “He is ‘Aamir bin Fuhayrah.”‘Aamir bin At-Tufayl said, “I saw him lifted to the sky after he was killed, such that I saw the sky between him and the earth; then he was brought down upon the earth again.”[Al-Bukhari] Quote End.

“Al-Bukhari also recounted, from Whayd b. Isma'il, from Aba Usama, from Hisham b. Wrwa, who said, "My father told me as follows, 'When the men were killed at Bi’r Ma‘oonah and 'Amr b. Umayya al-Damri was taken prisoner, 'Amir b. al-Tufayl asked the father, pointing to a corpse, "Who is this?" 'Amr replied, "This was 'Amir b. Fuhayra. And after he was killed, I saw him raised up into the sky until I could actually see sky between him and the earth. He was then brought back down." When news of them reached the Prophet (SAAS), he announced their death, saying, "Your comrades have been killed; they asked their Lord, 'O God, inform our brothers about us, and of how we are pleased with You and You are pleased with us."' And so it was that He had informed them (the Prophet (SAAS) and his Companions) about them. On that day Urwa b. Asma b. al-Salt, who was among them, was killed. And Wrwa (b. al-Zubayrz) was named after him, while Mundhir (b. al-Zubayrz) was named after Mundhir b.'Amr (also killed that day)."'

  Al-Baybaqi related this from a Hadith of  Yahya h. Sa'id, from Abtl Usama, from Hisham, from his father, from 'A'isha. That account proceeds from the Hijra and relates at its conclusion what is told here by al-Bukhari. But God knows best. Al-Waqidi recounted it from Mus'ab b. Thabit, Abu al-Aswad, from Urwa. He related the story of 'Amir b. Fuhayra, and how 'Amir b. al-Tufayl reported how he was raised up to heaven. His account tells that the person who killed him was Jabbar b. Salma al-Kilabi.

He stated, "And when the man pierced him with the spear, he exclaimed, I have succeeded, by the Lord of the kaaba!' "Then Jabbar asked, 'What did he mean when he said, "I have succeeded?"' People replied, 'He meant with paradise.' And so he then said, 'He was right, by God!' Thereafter Jabbar accepted Islam, for that reason." In the Maghazi, the military chronicle, of Masa b. 'Uqba, Urwa is quoted as saying, “The body of Amir b. Fuhayra was not found; it is said that the angels hid it."(Allah knows the best)
