‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
(I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
(Continued from the last)
After that, Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, blessings and peace be on Him) directed the people: None will
talk with these three persons {Ka’b bin Malik, Maraarah bin
‘Ar-Rabii’ and Hilal bin Umayyah (May Allah be
pleased with them)}. My world was darkened. Everything had become stranger from
me. We passed over fifty days in such condition. My other two companions set
out to their homes for mourning, but I was stronger than all others physically
and younger, used to offer congregational prayers and wander in bazaars. After
prayer, I used to salute the Messenger (grace, blessings and peace be on Him),
but when I used to behold Him (grace, blessings and peace be on Him), He used
to turn His face without talking.
After observing these
circumstances, I climbed at the wall of Abu Qataadah’s house (May
Allah be pleased with them), who was my cousin (paternal) and had love with me.
I saluted him. By God, he did not reply. I came down being disappointed. Then I
was passing through the bazaar and heard – one villager of Syria, who had come
to sell a mercantile grain, was in search of me. The people indicated him
towards me. He came unto me and gave a letter, sent by the king of Ghassaan.
It was written in that letter: I have heard that your Leader (grace, blessings
and peace be on Him) has rejected you and now you are in adverse condition.
Come unto us, we shall entertain you properly. After reading the letter, I
thought: this another misfortune has reached. And I cast that letter into the
oven.
After forty days, a courier of
God’s Messenger (grace, blessings and peace be on Him) came and said: It is
commanded that you should live alone (separate from your wife). This
commandment was also for my other two companions. Hilal bin Ummayyah sent
his request: I am an old man and needy of an attendant.
Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, blessings and peace be on Him) permitted him in these words: Your wife
can serve you, but you should remain away from her. The people said to me: You
should do the same also. I said: No, I am adult. When complete fifty days were
over, Allah Almighty sent His Revelation and my error was forgiven. The people
ran unto me with glad-tidings and I attended the Court of Messenger (grace,
blessings and peace be on Him). His Face had been blooming with happiness,
Commanded: The day of Today, with effect from you have born, is the best day.
Allah Almighty has forgiven you. I requested: I wish to sacrifice my entire
wealth for the welfare of needy people, due to this happiness. Messenger
(grace, blessings and peace be on Him) commanded: No. You should keep some
wealth for your own living also. Then I requested: O Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, blessings and peace be on Him)! God has forgiven me due to the
reason that I spoke the truth. I promise that until death, I shall never tell a
lie. Therefore, till today, I have never told a lie intentionally.
I consider that my this deed is
the best that I stated my condition truly as it was, before the Messenger of
Allah Almighty (grace, blessings and peace be on Him), and did not join those
people, in whose reproof, verses were revealed because of producing their false
excuses.
FROM THIS INCIDENT we should learn that we should abstain from
deceiving anyone and telling a lie, and whatsoever we do, should do fearing
Allah Almighty, because He is Aware of Open and Hidden (Visible and Invisible).
And in this connection, we should also be saved from those tokens; which have been
described about the Hypocrites, because none can deceive Allah Almighty, and
matter of a Muslim is, first of all, in God’s Hand.
