Miscellaneous Incidents of the First Year of Hijrah

Written by

1. After Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) left Quba and arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, Hazrat Kulthoom bin Hadam (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) passed away. He was the Sahaabi in whose house Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) resided during his stay in Quba.

2. Even before Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) could complete the construction of Musjid-un-Nabawi, Hazrat As’ad bin Zuraarah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), the head of Banu Najjaar clan, passed away. The Banu Najjaar appeared before Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and requested, “O Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! Appoint someone as his successor to be the head over us.” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “You are my maternal family, and I am part of your family, hence I will be your head to oversee you.”

Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) accepting to be the head and oversee their affairs (i.e. the affairs of the Banu Najjaar tribe) is enumerated as one of the great merits and virtues of this tribe. The people of this tribe considered this to be a great source of pride for them, that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioned that he would be their head.

Treaty with the Jews – Part Two

Written by

On account of the jealousy and defiance of the Jews (in Madinah Munawwarah), and in order to contain their civil strife and rebellion, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) decided to draw up a written treaty with them.

The idea behind this treaty was to at least ensure that their opposition and defiance does not intensify any further, so that the Muslims may be safe from their mischief and corruption.

The Qur’aan Majeed is replete with verses mentioning the evils and mischief of the Jews. Therefore, in order to prevent their mischief and corruption from worsening, intensifying and spreading, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) formed a treaty with the local Jews of Madinah Munawwarah.

Treaty with the Jews – Part One

Written by

The majority of the population of Madinah Munawwarah was made up of the Aws and Khazraj tribes. However, over an extended period of time, a significant number of Jews also settled in Madinah Munawwarah.

The Jews had a number of madrasahs and educational institutes in Khaybar and Madinah. They also had a few fortresses in Khaybar. They were referred to as the Ahl-e-Kitaab (people of the scripture). Compared to the disbelievers (polytheists), they enjoyed educational superiority and distinction in the land of Hijaaz.

The Inception of the Azaan – Part Three

Written by

Hazrat Abdullah bin Zaid (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) mentions, “The next morning (after seeing the dream in which the angel taught me the words of the azaan), I presented myself before Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and related the dream to him. On hearing the dream, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said:

إن هذه لرؤيا حق إن شاء اللّٰه تعالى

“Surely this dream is a true dream, Insha Allah Ta‘ala.”

The Inception of the Azaan – Part Two

Written by

The assembly of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) with the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) had terminated without them arriving at any decision in regard to which method should be adopted to inform the people of the time to gather in the musjid for the congregational salaah.

Nevertheless, Hazrat Abdullah bin Zaid bin Abdi Rabbihi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was greatly affected by this concern of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).

The Inception of the Azaan – Part One

Written by

From the very beginning of the prophethood of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), two daily salaah were fardh – the fajr salaah and the asr salaah. Thereafter, on the Night of Mi’raaj, the remaining salaahs of the five daily salaah were made fardh.

All the salaahs, with the exception of maghrib, consisted of just two rakaats. After the hijrah, the two rakaats remained as they were for those traveling, while a further two rakaats were added in the zuhr, asr and esha salaahs for those not travelling.

It is reported that whenever a beggar came to Hazrat Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) and made dua for her, as is the habit of beggars (when begging from someone), then she would also make dua for the beggar, and thereafter, she would give him some charity. Someone asked her, “O Umm-ul-Mu’mineen! Why is it that you give the beggar charity, and you also make dua for him just as he made dua for you?”

She replied, “If I do not make dua for him, and I only give him charity, then his kindness over me will be superior to my kindness over him, as dua is far superior to charity. That is why I repay his dua with my dua, so that my charity remains pure and will not be in exchange of anything.”

The Unparalleled Generosity and Compassion of the Ansaar

Written by

The manner in which the Ansaar fulfilled the right of the pact of brotherhood with the Muhaajireen, and the extent of their sincerity in giving preference to the Muhaajireen over themselves, was such that it is impossible to find any parallel and likeness for it in the annals of history.

When it came to their wealth, lands and assets, then the Ansaar showed generosity to the Muhaajireen by giving them lands and orchards. However, over and above this, such examples of generosity are found among the Ansaar that if a person had two wives, he would say to his Muhaajir brother, “(Choose whichever wife you want from the two.) Whichever wife you wish, I will divorce her, and after the divorce (and iddah period), you may marry her.”

The Second Occasion of Brotherhood

Written by

The second occasion when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) established the pact of brotherhood was five months after the hijrah. This pact of brotherhood occurred in the home of Hazrat Anas (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) between forty-five Muhaajireen and forty-five Ansaar. In this pact, each Muhaajir Sahaabi was paired with an Ansaari Sahaabi.

Haafiz Ibnu Sayyidin Naas (rahimahullah) has mentioned in Uyoon-ul-Athar that when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) established the pact of brotherhood between the Muhaajireen Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) in Makkah Mukarramah, before the hijrah, then he paired the following people with each other:

1. Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)

2. Hazrat Hamzah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) Hazrat Zaid bin Haarithah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)

3. Hazrat Uthmaan Ghani (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Abdur Rahmaan bin Awf (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)

4. Hazrat Zubair bin Awwaam (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)

5. Hazrat Ubaidah bin Haarith (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Bilaal bin Rabaah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)

6. Hazrat Mus’ab bin Umair (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Sa’d bin Abi Waqqaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)

7. Hazrat Abu Ubaidah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Saalim, the freed-slave of Hazrat Huzaifah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)

8. Hazrat Sa’eed bin Zaid (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Talhah bin Ubaidillah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)

9.Hazrat Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)
