mes of the martyrs of the battle of badr image by tariq amir cc by nd 3 0 history of islam story of the prisoners of the battle of badr the details safi ur rahman mubarakpuri the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam exhorted the muslims to treat the prisoners so well to such an extent that the captors used to give the captives their bread the more valued part of the meal and keep the dates for themselves history of islam umm umara the prophet s shield at uhud details hamzah qassem umm umara was blessed with many honours amongst these her presence at uhud al hudaybiyyah khaybar the fulfilled umrah hunayn and the battle of yamama but her most noble role came about during the battle of uhud the disputed tomb of bilal ibn rab ah at bab saghir damascus history of islam bilal ibn rab ah details alia amer bilal was a black slave belonging to umayyah ibn khalaf he was tall thin and slightly hump backed thick grayish hair crowned his head he moved about silently speaking only in reply he was born to two slave parents making him a slave he used to travel to ash sham for umayyah s trading caravan braving the bitter cold of winter and the extreme heat of summer his only recompense was a handful of dates each day that he ate to strengthen his body at his master s house he would serve the guests while going hungry he was overworked and mistreated as were umayyah s other slaves history of islam ka ab ibn malik details unknown after the conquest of makkah caeser ruler of byzantium which was considered the greatest military force on earth at the time could no longer turn a blind eye to the activities of the muslims he was anxiously aware of the arab tribes expectations of independence and their hopes of getting free from his reign and influence they could not ignore the alliance of the arab tribes on his borders to the muslims so he concluded that the demolition of the muslims power had grown an urgent necessity this decision of his should in his opinion be achieved before the muslims become too powerful to conquer and raise troubles and unrest in the adjacent arab territories thus caeser raised a huge army of byzantine and pro roman ghassanide tribes to launch a decisive bloody battle against the muslims news of this army reached the muslims and much fear spread in their hearts after much deliberating on the situation the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam made up his mind and ordered his companions to prepare for war no sooner had the muslims heard the voice of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam calling them to fight the byzantines than they rushed to comply with his orders almost all the muslims responded positively only those who had weakness in their hearts favoured to stay behind they were only three people their story is told below due to its particular circumstances this invasion was a particularly severe trial provided by allah only to try the believers faith and sort them out from the others this is allah s permanent will in such circumstances in this respect he says allah will not leave the believers in the state in which you are in now until he distinguishes the wicked from the good al qur an 3 179 lagging behind and hanging back from full participation in that invasion amounted to a degree of hypocrisy whenever the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was informed of a man s lingering he would say leave him alone if allah knows him to be good he will enable him to follow you but if he were not so allah would relieve us of him nobody stayed behind except those who were either hindered by a serious excuse or the hypocrites who told lies to allah and his messenger some of those hypocrites lingering was due to an excuse based on forgery and delusion some others tarried but didn t ask for instant permission but there were three believers who unjustifiably lingered they were the ones whose faith allah tried but later he returned to them in mercy and accepted their repentance one of the believers stories is recorded in an authentic hadeeth it has been related by abdullah ibn ka ab ibn malik who became ka ab s guide from amongst his children when he became blind he said i heard ka ab ibn malik speaking about the incident concerning his non participation during the battle of tabuk ka ab said i was not absent from the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam during any campaign that he fought in except the battle of tabuk nevertheless i was absent from the battle of badr however no individual was admonished for non participation indeed the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam departed in search of a caravan of the quraysh thereafter certain events took place until allah assembled the two armies unexpectedly verily i witnessed the night of al aqabah the pledge with the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the night wherein we pledged our allegiance to islam furthermore i would not exchange it for participation in the battle of badr regardless of the fact that the battle of badr is deemed more noteworthy amongst the people in relation to my news i had never before been stronger nor wealthier than at the time i remained behind the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam during that campaign by allah i had never before been in possession of two she camels until the time of the battle the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would conceal his intention to embark upon a military expedition by making reference to other campaigns until the time for that expedition arrived the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam conducted that expedition during a season of extreme heat undertaking a lengthy journey through desert terrain in addition the enemy was great in number thus the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam clarified the matter to the muslims in order that they prepare themselves adequately for their campaign and he informed them of their intended destination the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was accompanied by a considerable number of muslims whose names could not be recorded in a book ka ab continued any individual who wished to remain absent would assume that his absence would pass unnoticed unless it was revealed by allah by means of divine revelation the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam undertook that expedition during a season wherein the fruit had ripened and the shade had become pleasant the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the muslims equipped themselves with the necessary provisions i too departed in order to prepare myself however i returned without accomplishing anything i would say to myself i am able to prepare myself hence i continued to postpone my preparations however the people occupied themselves in earnest with the journey until the day arrived wherein the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the muslims proceeded to depart however i had not completed any part of my preparations i said to myself i shall prepare myself in one or two days after his departure and then i will join them the morning after their departure i set out in order to equip myself however i returned without completing anything the following morning i set out again nevertheless but i returned without accomplishing anything this continued until they hastened towards the battle and the campaign had passed by nevertheless i intended to depart and reach them would that i had done so however i was not destined to do that after the departure of the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam i would enter amongst the people and it would become a cause of sadness for me for i did not see except the one suspected of being a hypocrite or the weak and infirm whom allah had excused from participation the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not remember me until he arrived in tabuk he was sitting amongst his people in tabuk and asked what happened to ka ab a man from amongst the tribe of bani salimah responded o messenger of allah he was hindered by his garments and pleasure for his clothes and his self mu adh ibn jabal said what a wretched statement you have uttered o messenger of allah we do not know of him save goodness hence the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam became silent whilst he was in that position he saw a man clothed in a white garment real in essence not merely a desert mirage the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said may it be abu khaythama al ansari he was the one who donated a measure of dates when the munafiqin hypocrites defamed him ka ab ibn malik continued when i learned that he had turned in order to return i was consumed by distress and started therefore to invent lies i started to question myself with what can i avoid his anger tomorrow i sought assistance from every individual of sound mind and judgment from amongst my family when it was mentioned that the messenger of allah s sallallahu alayhi wa sallam arrival was imminent the false excuses vanished from my mind i recognized that i could not liberate myself from this predicament by means of falsehood i therefore resolved to speak the truth the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam arrived the following morning it was a practice of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that upon returning from a journey he would proceed towards the mosque and perform a two rak ah prayer therein and then sit amongst the people after those matters had taken place the absentees approached him they started to present their excuses and take oaths to that effect there were over eighty men in number the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam accepted their excuses their oaths and sought forgiveness on their behalf in addition he entrusted unto allah their secret affairs thereafter i approached him and conveyed the greeting upon him he smiled the smile of the one enraged then he said come forward i therefore approached him walking until i was sitting before him then he said what prevented you from accompanying us had you not purchased a riding animal i responded of course o messenger of allah however by allah if i was in the presence of any other man from amongst the inhabitants of this world i would avoid his wrath by presenting an excuse for i have been granted the ability to speak in an eloquently persuasive manner however i am aware that if i utter a lie today in order to seek your pleasure certainly allah will cause you to become enraged with me in the future alternatively if i inform you of the truth thereby causing you to become angry i may nevertheless hope for allah s pardon no by allah i have no excuse to present i had never before been stronger nor wealthier than during the time i neglected to accompany you the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied in relation to this man he has spoken the truth therefore stand until allah pronounces judgment in this matter i therefore stood a group of men from the tribe of bani salimah became disorderly and started following me they addressed me by allah we have not known you to commit a misdeed verily you erred in not excusing yourself before the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in a similar manner to the other absentees who excused themselves the messenger of allah s sallallahu alayhi wa sallam action of seeking forgiveness for your misdeed would have been sufficient for you they continued to reprimand me until i desired to return to the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and fabricate a lie against myself contradict my story however i questioned them is there any other individual in a similar position they responded yes there are two men who uttered the same statement as you and both received the same directive as you did i asked who are these two men they answered murarah ibn al rabi and hilal ibn umayyah al waqifi by their statement they had made reference to two virtuous men who had participated in the battle of badr and were examples to be followed after they had mentioned these two men i remained steadfast upon my original statement thereafter the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam prohibited the muslims from speaking to us namely the three individuals from amongst us who had neglected to accompany him as a consequence the people avoided us and altered their conduct towards us until the land wherein i lived appeared foreign not one which i was familiar with we remained in that state for a period of fifty nights in relation to my companions they surrendered themselves to their houses and remained seated therein weeping however i was the youngest and most forbearing of the three i would therefore exit the house in order to perform the prayer with the other muslims i would wander around the markets yet no one would speak to me i would approach the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and convey the greeting upon him whilst he was sitting amidst his gatherings which took place upon completion of the prayer i would question myself did his lips move in the act of reciprocating the greeting upon me or not thereafter i would perform the prayer close by him and look towards him in a surreptitious manner when i occupied myself with the prayer he would turn towards me however when i looked in his direction he would avoid me when this period of estrangement lengthened i set out to walk until i climbed upon the wall of abu qatadah s garden he was my cousin and amongst the most beloved of people to me i conveyed the greeting upon him and by allah he did not reciprocate the greeting upon me hence i said o abu qatadah i implore you by allah are you aware that i love allah and his messenger he remained silent i appealed to him by allah a second time however he remained silent then he responded allah and his messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are greater in knowledge thereupon tears flowed from my eyes i turned away and climbed over the wall he continued whilst i was walking in the market in madinah i saw a christian farmer from amongst the farmers of sham who had traveled to madinah in order to sell their produce he said who shall direct me to towards ka ab bin malik the people started to gesture towards me until he approached me and presented me with a letter from the king of ghassan in which it was written to proceed it has come to our attention that your companion has dealt with you in a harsh manner allah has not rendered this world for you as a dwelling of disgrace and degradation nor one of loss and ruin so join us and we shall bestow upon you comfort and consolation upon reading the letter i said to myself this too is a trial placed before me i therefore placed the letter in the oven and created a fire by burning it therein when a period of forty out of fifty nights had passed the messenger of the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam approached me and said the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam commands you to distance yourself from your wife i said should i divorce her or what must i do he res...
