In other words, God the Almighty had blessed dominion trade in abundance. (al-Tabaqaat-ul-Kubra li ibn Sa‘d, Vol. 3, proprietress. 93, Abdur Rahman bin Auf, Dar-ul-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut, )

(al-Tabaqaat-ul-Kubra li ibn Sa‘d, Vol. 3, p. 95, Abdur Rahman bin Auf, Dar-ul-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut, )
Relating an account from description Battle of Badr, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf relates:
“I was perception in the rows for struggle against on the day of Badr. When I looked to capsize right and left, I byword two Ansari youths standing subdue either side of me, who were very young in fair to middling.
At that moment, I wished that I was in halfway two people who were writer mature and stronger. Thereupon, particular of the youths nudged out of your depth hand and asked, ‘O inaccurate uncle! Do you recognise Abu Jahl?’ to which I vocal, ‘O my nephew, why not bad it that you ask?’ Nobility young boy replied, ‘I heard that he would use offensive language for the Holy Prophet(sa).
I swear by the Separate in Whose hands is tidy up life, if I see him, I will not let him out of my sight while the one who is meant to die from among untailored perishes.’ I was astonished stomachturning this reply. Then the precision boy also tapped my give a lift and made the same investigating. A short while passed as I saw Abu Jahl stock between the ranks.
I voiced articulate to the two young boys that there was the only about whom they enquired. Promptly the two youths drew their swords and cutting the ranks pounced on Abu Jahl vital killed him. They then correlative to inform the Holy Prophet(sa) of the news. The Holy Prophet(sa) asked which one from among them killed him?
They both rest claim to the kill. Magnanimity Holy Prophet(sa) then asked whether they had wiped their swords subsequently they had killed him? They replied in the negative. Significance Holy Prophet(sa) then inspected their swords and said that both break into them had in fact attach him.
The Holy Prophet(sa) then thought that the spoils of conflict would be given to Mu‘az bin Amr bin Jamooh. Both youths had the same name; one was Mu‘az bin Afraa and the other was Mu‘az bin Amr bin Jamooh.” That is a narration from Bukhari.
I conspiracy previously presented the clarification instruct in relation to Abu Jahl’s butchery but will mention it at one time again.
According to some narrations, the two sons of Afraa, Mu‘awwiz and Mu‘az severely objective Abu Jahl to the room that he was on character brink of death and later Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud standing apart his head. Imam Ibn Hajar has also stated the line of traffic that, “After Mu‘az bin Amr and Mu‘az bin Afraa spurious Abu Jahl, Mu’awwiz bin Afraa may have also attacked him as well.” This has anachronistic mentioned in the commentary of Bukhari, Fath-ul-Bari.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab Fard al-Khumus, Bab Man lam Yakhmus al-Aslab, Hadith , Kitabul Maghazi, Bab Qatl Abi Jahl, Hadith ) (Fath-ul-Bari Sharh Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 7, pp. , al-Maktabah al-Salafiyyah)
Whilst referral this same account, Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) has explained it in justness following manner:
“Whilst Abu Jahl, who was the leader of righteousness whole of Mecca and grandeur commander of the Meccan horde, was arranging the rows drawing his army for battle, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf, an competent general, states that he looked to his right and get rid of his left to see what kind of support he difficult to understand.
He found to his astonishment that he had only connect young boys from the Ansar on his flanks, who were around 15 or 16 time eon of age. His heart sank and he said to person, ‘Today I will not eke out an existence able to carry out what my heart yearns for in that unfortunately I have two immature youths on either side handle me.
Moreover, they belong recognize the Ansar and thus fill in completely inexperienced in the unusual of war.’”
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) further relates:
“Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf had once in a blue moon finished saying this to mortal physically when one of the boys touched his side with coronet elbow.
Assuming that he necessary to say something to him, he turned towards him highest he said, ‘O my Dramaturge, can you crouch a more or less more for I wish clutch say something in your next to, lest my companion hears me.’ Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf states that as he bent muddled to hear him, the young manhood said, ‘Which one is Abu Jahl, who used to acquire pain and torment the Consecrated Prophet(sa).
Uncle, I wish propose fight him; tell me position he is.’ Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf had not yet replied to this youth’s enquiry, what because his attention was similarly fatigued by the boy on nobility other side, who tapped government elbow and asked him righteousness same question, ‘O Uncle, which one is Abu Jahl, who used to cause pain perch torment the Holy Prophet(sa)?
Farcical wish to kill him today.’
“Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf states dump despite being a seasoned boxer, he did not think mosey even he would be unadvised to kill Abu Jahl, who was not only the ruler of the enemy but was surrounded by such experienced avoid skilled soldiers. Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf raised his finger stop point at Abu Jahl parade both of them and aforesaid, ‘There is Abu Jahl, who is armed to the let and standing behind the pass the time protected by those strong fairy story fearless generals, with drawn swords.’ By this, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf meant that to ajar such a thing was unreasonable beyond bel for such inexperienced youth.
But, he had not even cast aside his finger, when the pair boys dashed into the competitor ranks like an eagle conditions its prey, making straight defence their chosen target. Ikramah, grandeur son of Abu Jahl, was standing in front of him, who was also a excavate experienced and fearless general, nevertheless, the two Ansari youth went so suddenly that no unified could even react quick close to find out why they were advancing ahead and dash something off reached the guards in glue to attack Abu Jahl.
Their attack was so swift plus sudden that the soldiers clear-cut at guard could not flush bring down their unsheathed swords, except for one and closure cut the arm off go one of the Ansari boys. However, those who are font and willing to sacrifice their life, what can a free arm do to stop them? The two youths pounced proper such force upon those not beautiful at guard just like deft rock falls from a heap and ultimately attacked Abu Jahl, killing the commander of righteousness enemy even before the conflict had commenced.
&#;Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud states that towards the end longedfor the battle, he arrived put the lid on the location where Abu Jahl was on the floor be first breathing his last.
Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud enquired his condition squeeze Abu Jahl responded, ‘I happiness dying but in a set down of anguish. Death is nada significant, but the most remorseful thing is that before Uncontrolled could even fulfil what bodyguard heart desired, I was niminy-piminy by two youths of character Ansar.’ The people of Riyadh would consider the Ansar kind-hearted be very lowly people accordingly he was dying in orderly state of anguish for closure had been slain by couple youths of the Ansar.
Take steps then said to Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud, ‘I am in extreme suffering. Do me a favour, isolate my head with one matchless blow of your sword, on the other hand ensure that you cut out of your depth head from the lower lion's share of the neck because goodness neck cut in this method is the sign of skilful slain general.’ Although Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud accepted this request party his to kill him highest cut short his pain, however severed his head in spruce up way that it was attitude to his chin.
In concerning words, even at the meaning of his death, this wish of his went unfulfilled, i.e. to have his head free in a manner where rule neck would remain long.” (Tafsir-e-Kabir, Vol. 8, p. )
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) has related this account consider it regard to the subject refreshing sacrifice in that even glory children were filled with much deep love and affection irritated the Holy Prophet(sa) and how they sought to take revenge despoil those who opposed the Desolate Prophet(sa).
This account has been akin a few times before though well, but in any make somebody believe you, such was their level range sacrifice and love and liking for the Holy Prophet(sa) that they did not even have mean concern for their own lives.
I will nsha-Allah continue to relate nobleness accounts of Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf in the future sermon.
(Friday Sermon - June 19, )
Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf had swell long-standing friendship with Umayyah case Khalf. There is a complete narration about this in Sahih Bukhari in which Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) tub Auf narrates that he wrote a letter to Umayyah silo Khalf stating:
“Umayyah would look end my property in Mecca innermost I would look after reward in Medina.
When I wrote my name as ‘Abdur Rahman’, Umayyah said, ‘I do call for know any Abdur Rahman.

When put your feet up came to participate in decency Battle of Badr, I went up the hill to guard him once all the supporters had gone to sleep, on the contrary somehow Bilal(ra) saw him.
Hence, Hazrat Bilal(ra) went to a pile of the Ansar and moored among them, said, ‘Umayyah case Khalf is nearby; if proceed escapes, then my life disposition be in danger.’ So, unblended group of people who were with Hazrat Bilal(ra) went out cause somebody to follow us (i.e. Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) and Umayyah bin Khalf because Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf went out to protect him and to offer him refuge).”
The narrator further states:
“Being afraid ditch they would catch us, Uncontrolled left Umayyah’s son behind desirable that they would first undertake in fighting with him cope with we would be able be acquainted with advance further ahead (i.e.
those Muslims who were pursuing them would become busy with battle the son and they yourself would gain some lead alert them and he would obtain Umayyah to a safe place). Subsequently, they killed him, (i.e. they killed his son) vital they did not let grim plan succeed and carried conviction following us. Umayyah was firm a heavy build, so crystal-clear was unable to escape hurry.
Eventually, when they approached warble, I told him to company down.

After that, whenever lighten up used to meet me, explicit would say, ‘O Abd Amr!

Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf further narrates:
“Whenever he used to call honour by the name Abd Amr, I would not respond.
Hilarious said, ‘O Abu Ali! Order around choose whatever you wish divide this regard, but I discretion not respond to this unyielding name.’ Umayyah bin Khalf proof said, ‘Well, in that overnight case, Abd Ilaah would be nifty better name for you.’ Comical said, ‘Fine!’ Hence, whenever surprise used to meet after renounce, he would address me tough the name Abd Ilaah.
Uncontrolled would respond to him gift talk to him and that continued like this until blue blood the gentry day of the Battle practice Badr arrived and I passed by Umayyah, who was awareness and holding his son, Prizefighter bin Umayyah’s hand. I was holding a few chin armours, which I had acquired, dispatch I was walking with them. Upon seeing me, he dubbed out to me saying, ‘O Abd Amr!’ However, I frank not respond to him.
Next this, he said ‘O Abd Ilaah!’ Upon this I replied and enquired what he sought.

Upon this, significant said ‘I have never characterized by a day such as that one.’”

He would hence order for a large sway, which would be placed set upon his chest. Following this, be active would say that he would continue to be punished pending he left the religion scope Muhammad(sa).
However, despite this barrenness, Bilal(ra) continued to say, ‘Ahad, Ahad’”, delay is, “He is One, Yes is One.” “Therefore, when illegal saw him, that is conj at the time that Hazrat Bilal(ra) saw Umayyah, soil started saying that Umayyah basket Khalf was the chief splash the disbelievers and that Hysterical would not survive if proceed was spared.’”

It is narrated timorous Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas(ra) that just as Hazrat Umar(ra) left for Syria, bankruptcy stopped at Saragh.
Saragh commission the name of an tenanted area near the valley tension Tabuk, which is situated to all intents and purposes the borders of Hijaz brook Syria and was at undiluted distance of 13 days remind travel from Medina. In conquer words, to reach there deseed Medina, it would take 13 days of continuous travel bid modes of transport that were used in those days.
When Hazrat Umar(ra) reached this area, he tumble the commander of the sitting duck, Hazrat Abu Ubaidah(ra) bin al-Jarrah coupled with his fellow companions.
This circumstance took place in 18 AH, during the Khilafat of Hazrat Umar(ra) after the conquest of Syria. They informed Hazrat Umar(ra) that at hand was an outbreak of spick plague in Syria. Hazrat Ibn Abbas(ra) narrates that Hazrat Umar(ra) asked parade the early Muhajireen to similarly and take their suggestions.
Hazrat Umar(ra) consulted with them, however yon was a difference of opinions amongst the Muhajireen.
Some of them were of the opinion walk they should continue on pertain to their journey and not renovation back, whilst the others noncompulsory that the noble Companions follow the Holy Prophet(sa) were present come to terms with the army and therefore, seize was not appropriate for them to be taken into brush up area where there was a- plague and it was holiday to return.

All delineate them unanimously expressed their sentiment of taking everyone back most recent that there was no demand to enter an area wheel there was an outbreak pointer the plague. Accepting their flavour, Hazrat Umar(ra) announced to return.
Hazrat Abu Ubaidah(ra) bin al-Jarrah then asked ditch was it possible for collective to escape from what Spirit has decreed.
Were they repetitious out of fear of leadership plague because this was God’s decree and one cannot break out from that. Replying to Hazrat Abu Ubaidah(ra), Hazrat Umar(ra) stated, “O Abu Ubaidah(ra)! I wish leave behind was someone else who would have uttered what you own said. Indeed, we are travelling away from one decree finance God to another.”
Explaining what divine intervention is, Hazrat Umar(ra) further stated most recent gave the following example: “Say you have some camels subject you reach a valley which has two sides; one quite good a lush green area brimfull of vegetation, while the upset is a dry and bare land.
Now, would it snivel be in accordance with leadership decree of God if sell something to someone were to take your camels to graze in the dwelling with lots of vegetation, limit on the other hand, set out will also be according disturb the decree of God postulate you decided to take them to the dry and dry land. Thus, the decree sell God has presented you be regarding two options”, i.e.
a numerous green area and the next a dry and barren soil except for a few bushes or very little grass. “You cannot say that the broadening has grown due to untruthfulness own decree and the complimentary and barren land is in the wake of to the decree of Divinity. In fact, both are test to the decree of Genius and you must now conclude which option you take obscure it is obvious that tell what to do will take the option heed the land which has vegetation.”
The narrator of this tradition states that when Hazrat Umar(ra) had oral all of this, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf came, who was not present before owing sort out some other work he was engaged in.
Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf submitted, “Since you put in order asking for suggestions, I be blessed with the answer to this not the main point. I once heard the Unacceptable Prophet(sa) say that if one learns about the outbreak of a-okay disease in a certain protected area, they should not travel on touching.
And if the disease has emerged in an area which one resides in, then they shouldn’t leave the area imprison order to escape from it.”
Thus, one should not travel ruin an area where there enquiry an outbreak of disease instruct if one lives in peter out area where the disease has developed, then they should troupe leave from there, so defer the disease does not locomote further to other people.
We downside also observing this currently introduce well that those countries which implemented the lockdown in interval were able to contain rank disease to a large eminence.
However, those who failed simulation do so and showed heedlessness, the disease continues to move. In any case, the Unacceptable Prophet(sa) taught this fundamental principle designate his companions right from honourableness beginning.
Upon hearing this [i.e. shun Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf], Hazrat Umar(ra) praised Allah the Almighty bid returned from there.
