QuizTime(202): "With which Sahabi, Allah has agreed(Qur’an confirms) in three things?

Ans: Umar(R.a).

The Quran confirms Umar’s opinions not just on 3 things but more. Read the whole answer. Pardon me for long answer.

Narrated Anas:

`Umar said, "I agreed with Allah in three things," or said, "My Lord agreed with me in three things. I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Would that you took the station of Abraham as a place of prayer.' I also said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Good and bad persons visit you! Would that you ordered the Mothers of the believers to cover themselves with veils.' So the Divine Verses of Al-Hijab (i.e. veiling of the women) were revealed. I came to know that the Prophet (ﷺ) had blamed some of his wives so I entered upon them and said, 'You should either stop (troubling the Prophet (ﷺ) ) or else Allah will give His Apostle better wives than you.' When I came to one of his wives, she said to me, 'O `Umar! Does Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) haven't what he could advise his wives with, that you try to advise them?' " Thereupon Allah revealed:-- "It may be, if he divorced you (all) his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you Muslims (who submit to Allah).." (66.5)

[Sahih al-Bukhari 4483]

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: My Lord agreed with me in three things:

1.   Offering Salah at Maqam of Ibrahim(Pbuh).

I said,"O Allah's Messenger, I wish we took the station of Abraham as our praying place (for some of our prayers). So came the Divine Inspiration: And take you (people) the station of Abraham as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers e.g. two Rakat of Tawaf of Ka'ba)".

“And [mention] when We made the House a place of return for the people and [a place of] security. And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer. And We charged Abraham and Ishmael, [saying], "Purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer]."[Al-Qur’an ch 2 Verse 125]

2.    Hijab.

And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, 'O Allah's Messenger! I wish you ordered your wives to cover themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk to them.' So the verse of the veiling of the women was revealed.

“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful”

[Qur’an ch 33 Verse 59]

3.      Mothers of Believers & Prophet Muhammed(pbuh).

 

Once the wives of the Prophet made a united front against the Prophet and I said to them, 'It may be if he (the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allah) will give him instead of you wives better than you.' So this verse (the same as I had said) was revealed."

“Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you - submitting [to Allah ], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and traveling - [ones] previously married and virgins”[Al-Qur’an ch 66 Verse 5]

There are other many instances where Qur’an supported Umar(r.a) opinions. e.g

4) Badr prisoners:

“My lord concorded with (my judgments) on three occasions. In case of the Station of Ibrahim, in case of the observance of veil and in case of the prisoners of Badr.”

[ Sahih Muslim 2399]

Qur’an verse revealed on Badr prisoners, when prophet agreed with Abu Bakr(r.a) opinion to take the ransom and free them. For detail read the Hadith & Qur’an ch 8 Verse 67-69

5) Offering the funeral prayers for hypocrites:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: When 'Abdullah bin Ubai (the chief of hypocrites) died, his son came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Messenger! Please give me your shirt to shroud him in it, offer his funeral prayer and ask for Allah's forgiveness for him." So Allah's Messenger (saw) gave his shirt to him and said, "Inform me (When the funeral is ready) so that I may offer the funeral prayer." So, he informed him and when the Prophet intended to offer the funeral prayer, 'Umar took hold of his hand and said, "Has Allah not forbidden you to offer the funeral prayer for the hypocrites? The Prophet said, "I have been given the choice for Allah says: '(It does not avail) Whether you (O Muhammad) ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites), or do not ask for forgiveness for them. Even though you ask for their forgiveness seventy times, Allah will not forgive them. (9.80)" So the Prophet offered the funeral prayer and on that the revelation came: "And never (O Muhammad) pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (i.e. hypocrites) that dies." (9:84) Thenceforth the Prophet did not offer funeral prayers for the hypocrites. [Al-Bukhari]

Such instances whereby the Holy Quran confirmed Umar’s views are thought to number twenty. Ibn Umar (ra) said: whenever the people encountered a certain situation concerning which their opinions varied, the Quran was revealed to support ‘Umars. [At-Tirmidhi]

QuizTime (201): Who was the strategic military commander for the disbelievers during the battle of Uhad ?

 

QuizTime (201): Who was the strategic military commander for the disbelievers during the battle of Uhad ?

 

 

Ans:  Khalid ibn Al Walid (RA).

Khalid ibn Al-Walid(r.a) was a military strategist and commander who turned potential defeats into victories & it was the first battle in the life of Khalid(r.a) & Abu Sufiyan(r.a) was the Chief-in- Commander.

The breach of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ's orders by the Muslim archers who left their assigned posts to despoil the meccan camp, allowed a surprise attack from the makkan cavalry led by Khalid bin Waleed which bought chaos to the Muslim ranks. End.

In Brief:

For several days after his return to Makkah, the Battle of Uhud occupied the mind of Khalid. He thought time and again of how the opportunity had arisen when the archers abandoned their position, and how quickly and accurately he had grasped the possibilities of manoeuvre. Khalid was to repeat such counterstrokes in later battles of his career. But the one fact that weighed heavily on his mind, and which he found difficult to explain, was the courage and tenacity of the Muslims. It did not seem natural that a small force, so vastly outnumbered and attacked from all directions, should hold out with such rocklike determination and be prepared to fight to the end in defence of its leader and its faith. After all, the Muslims were the same stock as the Quraish and other Arabs. Perhaps there was something that the new faith did to its votaries which other faiths could not do. Perhaps there was something about the personality of Muhammad(pbuh) which other men lacked. Such thoughts would occupy the mind of Khalid, but so far he was not in any way inclined towards the new faith. In fact he looked forward to facing the Muslims again, but without bitterness or rancour. He thought of the next battle as a sportsman might think of his next match.

After the Prophet's pilgrimage serious doubt entered Khalid's mind regarding his religious beliefs. He had never been deeply religious and was not unduly drawn towards the gods of the Kabah. He had always kept an open mind. Now he began to ponder deeply on religious matters, but did not share his thoughts with anyone. And then suddenly it flashed across his mind that Islam was the true faith. This happened about two months after the Prophet's pilgrimage.

That night Khalid took his armour, his weapons and his horse, and set out for Madinah. On the way he met two others travelling in the same direction: Amr bin Al Aas and Uthman bin Talha (son of the Quraish standard bearer at Uhud) and there was mutual astonishment when they found that each was travelling to Madinah with the same purpose, for each had regarded the other two as bitter enemies of Islam! The three seekers arrived at Madinah on May 31, 629 (the 1st of Safar, 8 Hijri), and went to the house of the Prophet. Khalid entered first and made his submission. He was followed by Amr and then Uthman. All three were warmly welcomed by the Prophet; their past hostility was forgiven, so that they could now start with a clean sheet. Khalid and Amr bin Al Aas were the finest military minds of the time and their entry into Islam would spell victory for Muslim arms in the following decades.

QuizTime(200)Which Sahabi after his death,he came in dream ask to retrieve his stolen armor suit, pay his debt & freed the slaves?

 

Ans:  Thaabit ibn Qays(r.a)

It was narrated that Thaabit ibn Qays (r.a) was martyred in the Battle of Yamaamah. One night, after his death, one of the Muslims saw Thaabit in a dream, saying to him, "I am Thaabit bin Qays, do you recognize me?" The man said, "Yes, I do", then Thaabit said, "I shall give you a piece of advice, so do not dare say that this is only a dream and leave what I say. When I was killed yesterday, a man from the Muslims passed by me and took my chain mail coat, and he is staying in one of the furthest houses. In front of his tent, there is a horse that he is preparing to be trained. On top of the armor is a twine on which is a saddle. Thus, go to Khaalid (the army commander) and tell him to send someone to retrieve it. Also, when you get back to Madeenah, tell the Caliph of the Messenger of Allah (r.a)  (Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq) that I owe so-and-so such-and-such, and to emancipate my slave so-and-so. Do not dare say that this is only a dream and leave what I say." The man woke up and went to Khaalid to tell him about his dream, so Khaalid sent someone to retrieve the chain mail armor suit, and he found it exactly where Thaabit had described it to be. Upon returning to Madeenah, Khaalid told Abu Bakr of the event and the dream of Thaabit, so Abu Bakr put it in Thaabit's will. Actually, nobody's will was altered and executed after his death besides Thaabit ibn Qays (r.a) ." [Al-Haakim]

Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (r.h) wrote, "The will is valid if made in a true dream accompanied by circumstantial evidence indicating its truthfulness, as proven by the story of Thaabit ibn Qays's will which was executed by Abu Bakr (r.a) ." [Al-Ikhtiyaaraat]

QuizTime(199) Who paid the debts of  prophet Muhammed(pbuh) after his death  ?

 

 

Ans:  Abu Bakr(R.a)

Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated, “The Prophet (pbuh) died while his shield was mortgaged with a Jew for 30 Saa’ of wheat (a Saa’ equals approximately one and a half kilograms).” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

There were different narrations regarding who paid the debt of the Prophet(pbuh)   and whether it was Abu Bakr or ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with them.

Ibn Hajar (r.h) said, “Ibn At-Tallaa’ mentioned in Al-Aqdhiyah An-Nabawiyyah that Abu Bakr paid the mortgage for the shield after the death of the Prophet (pbuh) . 

However, Ibn Sa’d reported from Jaabir that Abu Bakr fulfilled the promises of the Prophet (pbuh)  whereas ‘Ali settled his debts. On the other hand, Is-haaq ibn Raahawayh reported in his Musnad from Ash-Sha’bi that Abu Bakr paid the mortgage for the shield and gave it to ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib...”

QuizTime(198) Who were that Sahaba offered their water to another Sahabi, when they return to them, they passed away ?

 

QuizTime(198)  Who were that Sahaba offered their water to another Sahabi, when they  return to them, they passed away ?

 

Ans: This famous story is Daeef/ Unauthentic or could be fabricated.  

 A similar story was cited by Al-Bayhaqi in Shu'ab Al-Eemaan, Al-Haakim in Al-Mustadrak, and At-Tabraani in his Muʻjam, and the names of the three persons were stated in the story; they were all Muslims, and Hishaam ibn Al-ʻAas was not one of them. This indicates that this is a different story. Habeeb ibn Abi Thaabit narrated that Al-Haarith ibn Hishaam, ʻIkrimah ibn Abi Jahl, and ʻAyyaash ibn Abi Rabeeʻah were injured in the Battle of Yarmook. They all fell to the ground severely wounded. Al-Haarith ibn Hishaam asked for water to drink.

One of the soldiers brought water to him. When he saw that ʻIkrimah was looking at him, he said, "Take this water to 'Ikrimah instead." As ʻIkrimah received the water he saw that ʻAyyaash ibn Abi Rabeeʻah was looking at him, and he declined the water, saying, "Give it to ʻAyyaash instead." However, ʻAyyaash died before the water could reach him. The water-bearer ran to ʻIkrimah, but ʻIkrimah had also died. He ran over to Al-Haarith, but he had expired, too. They all died without tasting the water. This story was classified by Ath-Thahabi (R.H) as weak in his book At-Talkhees.

Quiztime(197) What was the promise of Ibrahim(pbuh) made to his father, which was rejected by Allah ?

 

Quiztime(197) What was the promise of Ibrahim(pbuh) made to his father, which was rejected by Allah ?

 

Ans:  Asking Allah for forgiveness to his Father who was mushrik and died as mushrik.

Abraham responded, “Peace be upon you! I will pray to my Lord for your forgiveness. He has truly been Most Gracious to me.”[Qur’an ch 19 verse 47]

 “It is not fitting, for the Prophet and those who believe, that they should pray for forgiveness for Pagans, even though they be of kin, after it is clear to them that they are companions of the Fire.

And Abraham prayed for his father's forgiveness only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he dissociated himself from him: for Abraham was most tender-hearted, forbearing.

[Qur’an ch 9 verse 113-114]

" except the saying of Ibrahim (Abraham) to his father: "Verily, I will ask for forgiveness (from Allah) for you, but I have no power to do anything for you before Allah ."

[Al-Qur’an ch 60 verse 4]

Thus, Ibrahim sought forgiveness for his father for a very long time, even after he migrated to Ash-Sham. He continued to seek forgiveness for him even after building the Sacred Masjid (in Makkah) and after the birth of his two sons, Isma`il and Ishaq. This can be seen in his statement,

(Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and (all) the believers on the Day when the reckoning will be established.) (14:41) From this tradition, during the beginning stages of Islam, the Muslims used to seek forgiveness for their relatives and their family members who were polytheists. They did this following the way of Ibrahim, the Khalil (Friend) of Allah, until Allah revealed,

(Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrahim and those with him, when they said to their people: "Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allah.'') (60:4) Until Allah's statement, (Except the saying of Ibrahim to his father: "Verily, I will ask forgiveness (from Allah) for you, but I have no power to do anything for you before Allah.'') (60:4) meaning, except for this statement, so do not follow it. Then Allah explains that Ibrahim abandoned this statement and retracted it. Allah, the Exalted, says,

(It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah's forgiveness for the idolaters.) (9:113) (And Ibrahim's invoking for his father's forgiveness was only because of a promise he had made to him. But when it became clear to him that he is an enemy of Allah, he dissociated himself from him. Verily, Ibrahim was Awwah, forbearing.) (9:114)

QuizTime(196) Who would have been that Sahabi would have received the divine guidance though He was not a prophet of Allah ?

 

QuizTime(196) Who would have been that Sahabi would have received  the divine guidance though He was not a prophet of Allah ?

 

Ans:  Umar(r.a)

 

Whether the angels whisper or inspire ordinary human beings, etc., there are two categories of inspirations:

That which means audible inspiration from Allah Almighty. This is limited to prophets and messengers (may peace be upon them all). Allah says: {Lo! We inspired thee as We had inspired Noah and the prophets after him…}[4:163].

Yet, an angel might address partially some of the believers. Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his "Madarij As-Salikeen 1/460): This (inspiration, whisper) may take place with people other than prophets. Angels used to say Salaam to (salute) Imran Ibn Hussain , but when he practiced cauterization they no more saluted him. Yet, after he left cauterization they resumed their conversation with him.

This inspiration is, in turn, of two kinds:

First:  dialogue(of angles) that can be heard by the ear, which is very rare for the ordinary believers.

Second:  whisper that is thrown to the believer's heart by which the angel addresses his soul, as in the well-known Hadith (Prophet's saying): Verily the angel has (his share of) effect in the son of Adam's heart, as the devil has his share in it…etc. He also mentioned some examples. This second kind of inspiration constitutes the second category, as in Allah's Saying: {And thy Lord inspired the bee...}[16:68].

The first meaning mentioned by Ibn Al-Qayyim is evidenced by the Prophet's Hadith: 

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, Amongst the people preceding you there used to be 'Muhaddithun' (i.e. persons who can guess things that come true later on, as if those persons have been inspired by a divine power), and if there are any such persons amongst my followers, it is `Umar bin Al-Khattab.

[Sahi Bukhari Hadith 3469]

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, Among the nations before you there used to be people who were inspired (though they were not prophets). And if there is any of such a persons amongst my followers, it is 'Umar. Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, Among the nation of Bani Israel who lived before you, there were men who used to be inspired with guidance though they were not prophets, and if there is any of such persons amongst my followers, it is 'Umar(r.a)

[Sahi Bukhari Hadith 3689]

QuizTime(195) Why Prophet(saw) compared some of his Army men with people of Musa(pbuh) when they ask  Musa to make one god for them?

 

 

 

Ans: They ask make Nabk plant, Dhat-Anwat (the one with suspenders) to take as good omens. (Such belief is Shirk in Islam)

On their way to Hunain they saw a great green Nabk plant, that was called Dhat-Anwat (the one with suspenders). That was because the Arabs used to hang their weapons on it, slay beasts under it and keep to it. So some of army members asked the Messenger of Allâh (peace be upon him) to make them a Nabk with suspenders as the one they had. “Allâh is the Greatest of all!” He said, “I swear by the One in Whose Hand is Muhammad’s soul, that you have just said what the people of Moses said to him. They said ‘Make us a god as the one they have.’ Surely you are ignorant people. These are Sunnah, but you will follow and comply with the modes of life of those who preceded you.”[Ar Raheeq Al Makhtum [The Sealed Nectar] page no: 203]  & [Tirmidhi Hadith 2180]

Moses' People Desire an Idol – Quranic

Allah the Exalted revealed: 

"And We brought the Children of Israel (with safety) across the sea, and they came upon a people devoted to some of their idols (in worship). They said: "O Mûsa (Moses)! Make for us an ilâhan (a god) as they have âliha (gods)." He said: "Verily, you are a people who know not (the Majesty and Greatness of Allâh and what is obligatory upon you, i.e. to worship none but Allâh Alone, the One and the Only God of all that exists)."

[Mûsa (Moses) added:] "Verily, these people will be destroyed for that which they are engaged in (idols-worship). And all that they are doing is in vain." He said: "Shall I seek for you an Ilâhan (a God) other than Allâh, while He has given you superiority over the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinns of your time)." And (remember) when We rescued you from Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, who were afflicting you with the worst torment, killing your sons and letting your women live. And in that was a great trial from your Lord."

[Qur’an Ch. 7 verse  138-141]

QuizTime(194)Which Verse of the Qur’an, Abu Bakr(r.a) recited to the people after on the news of death of Prophet Muhammed(pbuh)?

 

QuizTime(194)Which Verse of the Qur’an, Abu Bakr(r.a) recited to the people after on the news of death of Prophet Muhammed(pbuh)?

 

Ans: [Qur’an ch 3 verse 144 ]

“Muḥammad is no more than a messenger; other messengers have gone before him. If he were to die or to be killed, would you regress into disbelief? Those who do so will not harm Allah whatsoever. And Allah will reward those who are grateful.”

He Also recited {Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die.} [Quran 39:30]

The Sahih, Musnad and Sunan collections gathered various chains of narration stating that Abu Bakr recited this Ayah when the Messenger of Allah died. Al-Bukhari recorded that `A'ishah said that Abu Bakr came riding his horse from his dwelling in As-Sunh. He dismounted, entered the Masjid and did not speak to anyone until he came to her ﴿in her room﴾ and went directly to the Prophet, who was covered with a marked blanket. Abu Bakr uncovered his face, knelt down and kissed him, then started weeping and proclaimed, "My father and my mother be sacrificed for you! Allah will not combine two deaths on you. You have died the death, which was written for you.''

Ibn `Abbas narrated that Abu Bakr then came out, while `Umar was addressing the people, and Abu Bakr told him to sit down but `Umar refused, and the people attended to Abu Bakr and left `Umar. Abu Bakr said, "To proceed; whoever among you worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is alive and will never die. Allah said,

(Muhammad is no more than a Messenger and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah; and Allah will reward the grateful.)''

The narrator added, "By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this verse before until Abu Bakr recited it, and then whoever heard it, started reciting it.'' Sa`id bin Al-Musayyib said that `Umar said, "By Allah! When I heard Abu Bakr recite this Ayah, my feet could not hold me, and I fell to the ground.''

QuizTime(192 & 193) Who was that Sahabi, Angles use to greet him and talk to him until he was cauterized ? QuizTime(193) In the dream’s of the Prophet[pbuh] heard which Sahabi’s Qur’an recitation in the Jannah ?

 

QuizTime(192)  Who was that Sahabi, Angles use to greet him and talk to him until he was cauterized ?

  

Ans:  Imraan ibn Husayn Al-Khuzaa‘i Al-Ka‘bi Al-Basri(r.a).

His  surname was Abu Nujayd, was a prominent Companion who converted to Islam in the year of Khaybar (7 AH), and he participated with the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, in several battles, and he held the banner of his tribe, the Khuzaa‘ah.

He was one of the virtuous Companions and a jurist among them. The angels used to greet him with Salaam and talk to him until he was cauterized. Mutarrif, said: “'Imraan ibn Husayn said to me: "The angels used to great me with Salaam until I was cauterized. When I was cauterized, the angels left it. When I left it, the angels greeted me again.” [Muslim]

 Imran b. Husain reported: I am narrating to you a hadith by which Allah will benefit you (and the hadith is) that Allah's Messenger ( ‌pbuh) combined Hajj and 'Umra, and he did not forbid (this combination) till he died. (Moreover) nothing was revealed in the Holy Qur'an which forbade it. And I was always blessed till I was branded and then it (blessing) was abandoned. I then abandoned branding and it (the blessing was restored).

QuizTime(193) In the dream’s of the Prophet[pbuh] heard which Sahabi’s Qur’an recitation in the Jannah ?

Ans: Harithah Ibn Al-Nu’man[r.a]

Hārithah ibn al-Nu‘mān was one of the companions of the Prophet, sallā Allāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam. He was an Ansārī (from Madinah) who participated in all battles, which the Prophet sallā Allāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam participated. However, Hārithah ibn al-Nu‘mān is known for a few good tidings which the Prophet, ṣallā Allāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam, conveyed to him. He’s going to be one of the Qur’ān reciters in the Paradise. This is not only a good news, but an outstanding prestige, for the Qur’ān is the only book of Allāh that will be recited in the Paradise.

What Made Harithah Ibn Al-Nu’man(r.a) A Qur’an Reciter In Paradise?

 ‘Aa’ishah who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “I slept and I dreamt that I was in Paradise, and I heard the voice of someone reciting. I said: ‘Who is this?’ They said: ‘This is Haarithah ibn an-Nu‘maan.’” And the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Such is kindness to parents, such is kindness to parents.” And he was the one who honoured his mother the most among the people.

They were especially devoted to their parents, as Aa^،ishah(r.a)  recalled, "Two of the Companions of the Prophet(pbuh)  were the most dutiful in this nation to their mothers: ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan(r.a)    and Harithah ibn An-Nuaman(r.a). ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan(r.a)    said: 'Ever since I became a Muslim, I never dared to look my mother in the eye' and as for Harithah Ibn An-Nuaman(r.a)    he used to feed his mother with his own hands and would never ask her to repeat herself if he did not understand her words, but rather, he would ask those with him in the room after she left."

Hārithah radiya Allāhu ‘anhu used to show kindness towards his mother. And this is what entitled him for such an honorable position in the Paradise. Those of us, who have children and parents at the same time, know very well, that there's a significant difference between caring for one’s children and caring for his parents, especially when they are aged.

QuizTime(191) who was that young emissary Sahabi tortured to death for refused to believe in  Musaylamah?

 

Ans: Habib ibn Zayd al-Ansari(R.a)

 

Was one of the first persons in Yathrib to accept Islam and his mother, the celebrated Nusaybah bint Kab known as Umm Ammarah, was the first woman to bear arms in defence of Islam and in support of the blessed Prophet.

At Aqabah, in the darkness of the night, the young Habib stretched out his small hand and pledged loyalty to the Prophet. From that day, the Prophet, peace and blessings of God on him, became dearer to Habib than his own mother or father and Islam became more important to him than any care for his personal safety.

The Prophet chose Habib ibn Zayd to take this letter to Musaylamah. Habib was by this time in the prime of his youth and a firm believer in the truth of Islam with every fibre of his being.

Habib undertook his mission eagerly and proceeded as quickly as he could to the highlands of the Najd, the territory of the Banu Hanilab. He presented the letter to Musaylamah.

 Musaylamah was convulsed with bitter rage. His face was terrible to behold. He ordered Habib to be put in chains and to be brought back before him the following day.

On the following day, Musaylamah presided over his assembly. On his right and on his left were his senior advisers, there to further his evil cause. The common people were allowed to enter. He then ordered Habib, shackled in his chains, to be brought before him.

Habib stood in the midst of this crowded, hate-filled gathering. He remained upright, dignified and proud like a sturdy spear firmly implanted in the ground, unyielding.

Musaylamah turned to him and asked: "Do you testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God?" "Yes," Habib replied. "I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God."

 Musaylamah was visibly angry. "And do you testify that I am the Messenger of God?" He was almost insisting, rather than questioning. "My ears have been blocked against hearing what you claim," replied Habib.

Musaylamah's face changed color, his lips trembled in anger and he shouted to his executioner, "Cut off a piece of his body."

With sword in hand, the menacing executioner advanced towards Habib and severed one of his limbs.

Musaylamah then put the same question to him once more and Habib's answers were the same. He affirmed his belief in Muhammad as the Messenger of God and at the expense of his own life he refused to acknowledge the messengership of any other. Musaylamah thereupon ordered his henchman to cut off another part of Habib's body. This fell to the ground beside the other severed limb. The people looked on in amazement at Habib's composure and steadfastness.

Faced with Musaylamah's persistent questioning and the terrible blows of his henchman, Habib kept on repeating:

"I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God." Habib could not survive this torture and these inhuman atrocities much longer and he soon passed away. On his pure lips, as his life-blood ebbed away, was the name of the blessed Prophet to whom he had pledged loyalty on the night of Aqabah, the name of Muhammad, the Messenger of God.

News of Habib's fate reached his mother and her reaction was simply to say: "It was for such a situation that I prepared him... He pledged allegiance to the Prophet on the night of Aqabah as a small child and today as an adult he has given his life for the Prophet. If God were to allow me to get near to Musaylamah, I would certainly make his daughters smite their cheeks and lament over him."

QuizTime(190) Which Sahabi was asked to disbelieve in Prophet(pbuh) to get his own money from his debtor & Qur’an verses revealed?

 

Ans:  Khabbab bin Al-Aratt(r.a)

Khabbab reported that Al-`As b. Wa'il owed debt to me. I came to him in order to demand that. He said: I will never repay you unless you belie Muhammad. I said: I would never belie Muhammad until you die and you are again raised up. He said: When I would be raised up after death, I would repay your debt when I would get my property and children back. Waki` said: This is how Al-A`mash has narrated and it was on this occasion that this verse was revealed: Hast thou seen him who disbelieves in Our message and says: I shall certainly be given wealth and children (xix, 77) up to he would come to Us alone (xix, 80).

[Sahi Muslim Hadith 7062, Sahi Bukhari Hadith 2091,  2425 & Trimidhi Hadith 3162]

“Have you seen him who denied Our revelations, and said, “I will be given wealth and children”?  Did he look into the future, or did he receive a promise from the Most Merciful? No indeed! We will write what he says, and will keep extending the agony for him.  Then We will inherit from him what he speaks of, and he will come to Us alone.”

[Al-Qur’an ch 19 Verse 77-80]

Imam Ahmad reported from Khabbab bin Al-Aratt that he said, "I was a blacksmith and Al-'As bin Wa'il owed me a debt. So I went to him to collect my debt from him. He said to me, `No, by Allah, I will not pay my debt to you until you disbelieve in Muhammad.' I replied to him, `No, by Allah, I will not disbelieve in Muhammad until you die and are resurrected again.' He then said to me, `Verily, if I die and am resurrected, and you come to me, I will also have abundance of wealth and children and I will repay you then.' Then, Allah revealed these Ayat, (Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Ayat and said: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children.'') until,  (and he shall come to Us alone.)

QuizTime(189) Allah spoken to which martyred sahabi face to face without any veil between them ?

 

QuizTime(189)  Allah spoken to  which martyred sahabi face to face without any veil between them ?

 

Ans: Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Haram(R.a).

“When ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Haram was killed, on the Day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘O Jabir, shall I not tell you what Allah said to your father?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Allah does not speak to anyone except from behind a screen, but He spoke to your father face to face and said: “O My slave, ask Me and I shall give you.” He said: “O my Lord, bring me back to life so that I may be killed for Your sake a second time.” He said: “I have already decreed that they will not return (to the world after death).” He said: “O Lord, convey (the good news about my state) to those whom I have left behind.” So Allah revealed this Verse: ‘Think not of those as dead who are killed in the way of Allah.’”[3:169]

[Sunna ibn Maja vol 4 Hadith 2800]

a. Seeing Allah in Paradise is real. The dwellers of Paradise, according to their grades, will be blessed by this bounty.

b. This incident gives the good news that Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Haram  is among the dwellers of Paradise, and he secures the high grades of it.

“Think not of those as dead who are killed in the way of Allah. Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision.” [Al-Qur’an ch 3 Verse 169]

Allah states that even though the martyrs were killed in this life, their souls are alive and receiving provisions in the Dwelling of Everlasting Life. In his Sahih, Muslim recorded that Masruq said, "We asked `Abdullah about this Ayah, He said, `We asked the Messenger of Allah the same question and he said,

(Their souls are inside green birds that have lamps, which are hanging below the Throne (of Allah), and they wander about in Paradise wherever they wish. Then they return to those lamps. Allah looks at them and says, `Do you wish for anything' They say, `What more could we wish for, while we go wherever we wish in Paradise' Allah asked them this question thrice, and when they realize that He will keep asking them until they give an answer, they say, `O Lord! We wish that our souls be returned to our bodies so that we are killed in Your cause again.' Allah knew that they did not have any other wish, so they were left.)''' There are several other similar narrations from Anas and Abu Sa`id.”
