Chapter-9: Trials in the path of establishment of religionPart-30 1 | P a g e

240.Steadfastness in the path of Allah

(

-

)

Narrated Ibn Abbas (r.a); Abu Jahl said, "If I see Muhammad

praying at the Kaaba, I will tread on his neck." When the

Prophet (p.b.u.h) heard of that, he said, "If he does so, the

angels will snatch him away."

Narrated by: Ibn Abbas (r.a)

Recorded in: Sahih Bukhari, Tirmidhi

Explanation: Abu Jahl had spoken these provocative words

in front of the people. In another narration this has been

mentioned in more detail.

When the prophet (p.b.u.h) was praying he said three times

have I not stopped you from this? The prophet (p.b.u.h)

after completing prayers voiced his (p.b.u.h) anger and

warned him.

Abu Jahl said, on what basis do you warn me, you know that

most of the people of Makkah support me (i.e., if you warn

me and put pressure upon me you cannot overcome me for

most people in this valley support me and is there anyone to

support you against me?)

At that time these verses (9 18) of Surah Al-Alaq were

revealed:

Did u see him who forbids a servant (of Allah) when heprays? Did u consider: what if he is on the Right Way and

enjoins piety? Did you consider: what if he gives the lie (to

the Truth) and turns away (from it)? Does he not know that

Allah sees everything? No indeed; if he does not desist, We

shall drag him by the forelock; by the lying forelock steeped

in sin. So let him summon his helpmates; We too shallsummon the guards of Hell. (96:9-18)

Abdulla bin Abbas (r.a) the narrator of this hadith said,

swearing upon Allah, if he had called his supporters, angels of

Allah would have got him.

Hurdles in inviting towards Allah

()


4/10


Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, I have been threatened and subjected

to sufferings in the path of Allah. No one has been tortured

and subjected to suffering like me. Thirty consecutive days

have passed in my life wherein me and Bilal (r.a) had nothing

which any living being could eat except for that little thing

which Bilal (r.a) had hidden in his armpits.

Recorded in: Tirmidhi

Explanation: Allah raised prophet (p.b.u.h) to make His

religion prevail. To stop prophet (p.b.u.h) from this mission

the disbelievers of Makkah threatened to kill him (p.b.u.h),

tried to frighten him with severe punishments, rebuked him

and also hurt him physically to the extent that they left no

stone unturned in torturing and hurting him, they kept

adopting all possible measures against him. Such hardships

had never been faced by anyone inviting towards Allah

(daee) other than prophet (p.b.u.h).

Irrespective of all the difficulties and hurdles faced the

prophet (p.b.u.h) was doing this task alone initially and his

weak financial status was adding to his difficulties.

He had to tolerate hunger for a full month. Bilal (r.a) was with

him then, they had nothing to eat for themselves except that

little stuff which Bilal (r.a) had hidden in his armpits and they

tried to satisfy themselves with it.

May be this is highlighting the journey taken (in 10th year of

prophethood in the month of shawal to invite the people to

Allahs religion) by the prophet (p.b.u.h) to Taif.

242.Physical torture in the path of truth

()

When Khabbab bin Ardh (r.a) came to Umar (r.a), he said, O

Khabbab (r.a)! Sit close to me, you are the most eligible after

Amar bin Yaser (r.a). He (Khabbab bin Ardh (r.a) showed

those scars and marks on his back which were caused by the

atrocious acts of the disbelievers.

Narrated by: Khabbab bin Ardh (r.a)

Recorded in: Ibn Majah

Explanation: Khabbab (r.a) remembered the period of his life

in Makkah when the disbelievers of Makkah had laid him on

a bed of fire and the fire was put off by the fat that melted

from his body. Irrespective of such tough torture this sincere

worker of Islam remained firm in his love for Allah and his

prophet (p.b.u.h). He showed him those deep scars and

marks on his back which were caused by the brutal acts of

the disbelievers.

Hardships in the path of Truth

6/10


Narrated Anas (r.a), the messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h) had his

front teeth damaged on the day of the Battle of Uhud, and

got a wound on his head. He was wiping the blood (from his

face) and was saying: How will these people attain salvation

that have wounded their Prophet (p.b.u.h) and broken his

tooth while he (p.b.u.h) called them towards God? At this

time, God, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed the Verse

(O Messenger!) It is not for you to decide whether He willaccept their repentance or chastise them, for they surely are

wrongdoers. (Surah Al Imran, verse 128)

Narrated by: Anas (r.a) Recorded in: Sahih Muslim.

Explanation: In the battle of Uhud, the blessed face of the

prophet (p.b.u.h) and his lower lips were hurt, his lower frontteeth were also broken. The protective covering the prophet

(p.b.u.h) had on his head also broke to pieces. The face was

bleeding. Fathima (r.a) tried to clean the wounds but the

bleeding would not stop rather it only increased. She burnt a

part of the mat and applied its ashes on the wound which

immediately brought the bleeding in control. At this juncturethe prophet (p.b.u.h) prayed against them; and Allah

expressed that it is His decision to punish or forgive anyone.

Instantly the prophet (p.b.u.h) prayed in their favour with the

following words. (Recorded in Fath-e-Albari Tabrani)

O Allah, forgive my nation, they do not know (the reality)

244. Firm determination required in the path of Allah

(-

)

Narrated Jundab bin Sufyan (r.a); In one of the holy Battles a

finger of the prophet (p.b.u.h) (got wounded and) bled. He

(p.b.u.h) said, "What are you just a finger that bleeds, you got

this in Allah's cause"

Narrated by: Jundab bin Sufyan (r.a)

Recorded in: Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim

Explanation: The prophet (p.b.u.h) fell to the ground in the

battle of Uhud as he was hit by a stone, his finger was injured

and started to bleed. The prophet (p.b.u.h) addressed the

finger by quoting some verses from a poetry by Abdullah bin

Rawah (r.a) which means that, you have to sacrifice

everything in Allahs path. The hand is a part of the body and

you are one finger of the hand which is still not detached

from the body, rather you have been only made to bleed by

the hurt of a stone. No big sacrifice has been presented in the

path of Allah, only a simple hurt and this pain that you have

endured is in the path of Allah.

245.Steadfastness of the companions in the path of Truth

(-

(

Narrated Qais: I heard Saeed bin Zaid saying to the people, It

is a fact that Umar (r.a) had tied me and his sister

(Fathima)(r.a) for having accepted Islam, while he was notyet a Muslim.

Narrated by: Qais (r.a) Recorded in: Sahih Bukhari

Explanation: Recall that Saeed bin Zaid (r.a) was the paternal

cousin of Umar (r.a) and also his brother-in-law. Fathima (r.a)

the sister of Umar (r.a) was married to him. As both Saeed(r.a) and Fathima (r.a) had brought faith he became

extremely angry and tied them with ropes and imprisoned

them. In another narration it is said that when a person from

Bani Zohra tribe informed Umar (r.a) about his sister and

brother-in-law accepting Islam, he turned to their house in

extreme anger. While talking to them, the information hegot, was confirmed and he started beating Saeed (r.a) too

much and hurt him too. Fathima (r.a) the wife of Saeed (r.a)

could not tolerate and attempted to save her husband when

Umar (r.a) beat her as well, and the slap she got was so hard

that her face started to bleed. Inspite of these hardships both

husband and wife remained firm in their faith. This incident

made Umar (r.a) rethink for a moment, he changed his mind

and decided to accept the faith which he was not willing to

tolerate even for a moment.

246.Tribulations due to Acceptance of Islam

(-

)

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) told, O Abu Dhar (r.a), "May this work

(Islam) be kept a secret, return to your people and invite them

to Islam. When you get the news of our victory, come back."

He said, "By Him, Who sent the prophet (p.b.u.h) with the

truth, I will proclaim my conversion loudly amongst them (i.e.

the pagans)". Saying so he went to the Sacred Mosque and

proclaimed loudly, "I bear witness that none has the right to

be worshipped except Allah, and Muhammad (p.b.u.h) is the

Apostle of Allah". The Quraish said to each other, catch this

apostate. The People got up and beat him to the extent that

he would have died, but Abbas (r.a) came and knelt over him

(to protect him) and said (to the people), "Woe to you! Don't

you know that this man belongs to the tribe of Ghiffar and

your trade to Sham is through their way?" So he rescued him

from them. The next day Abu Dhar (r.a) again did the same.

Again they beat him in vengeance; and again Abbas (r.a)

knelt over him (to protect him) and rebuked the Quraish.

Narrated by: Ibn Abbas (r.a)Recorded in: Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim

Explanation: For having proclaimed his faith Abu Dhar

Ghiffari (r.a.) was twice beaten very badly in the precincts of

the Kaaba. A band of people jumped upon him; if Abbas had

not come to save him the supporters of evil would have killed

him. But he came in between the fuming disbelievers and

saved him with the argument of the economic losses they

would incur due to this approach stating that the Ghiffar

tribe lived on the highway between Makkah and Syria and if

you hurt and beat a person of their tribe then your trade

caravans would not be able to pass by them.
