The Barakah of Hazrat Urwah Baariqi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)
Hazrat Urwah Baariqi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was a Sahaabi of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). Among the unique aspects of his life is that he was the first Qadhi to be appointed over the city of Kufah by none other than Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu). (Tahzeeb-ul-Kamaal 20/6)
Among the Ahaadith which he reports from Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) is the Hadith pertaining to jihaad. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Goodness is tied to the forelock of horses until the Day of Qiyaamah – (the goodness of earning immense) reward and booty.” (Saheeh Bukhaari #2852)
