Abu Dhar al-Ghafari
He is Jundub bin Junadah from Ghifar, a tribe that has a long history of blocking the road, and its people are well known for their illegal robbery. For he is insightful, and from those who worship in ignorance and rebel against the worship of idols, and they go to believe in a great Creator God. As soon as he heard about the new religion, he set out to Mecca
Islam Abu Dharr
Abu Dhar, may God be pleased with him, entered Mecca in disguise, listening to the news of its people and the new religion, until he found the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, one morning sitting, so he approached him and said: “Good morning, O brother of the Arabs.” Recite me from what you say.” The Messenger replied: “It is not poetry, so I recite you, but it is a noble Qur’an.” Abu Dhar said: “Recite to me.” So he recited it while he was listening. His servant and His Messenger
And the Prophet, peace be upon him, asked him: “Who are you from, brother of the Arabs?” Abu Dhar answered him: “From Ghifar.” A wide smile shone on the mouth of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his face was filled with astonishment and amazement. Who delivers?! And the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “God guides whomever He wills.” Abu Dhar immediately embraced Islam, and his rank was among the fifth or sixth Muslims. He embraced Islam in the first hours of Islam
Abu Dhar rebelled against falsehood
Abu Dhar, may God be pleased with him, had a rebellious nature, so he turned to the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, immediately after his conversion to Islam, with a question: “O Messenger of God, what do you order me to do?” The Messenger replied: “Go back to your people until my command informs you.” Abu Dhar said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I will not go back until I shout Islam in the mosque.” There he entered the Sacred Mosque and called out at the top of his voice: “I bear witness that there is no god but God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.” It was This cry is the first cry that shakes Quraysh, from a strange man who has no lineage or fever in Makkah, so the unbelievers surrounded him and beat him until they knocked him down, and Al-Abbas, the uncle of the Prophet, saved him with a trick.
Another day passes until Abu Dhar, may God be pleased with him, sees two women walking around with the two idols, “Asaf and Naila.” And they called them, so he stood up, insulting the two idols, so the two women screamed, and the men ran to them, and they beat him until he lost consciousness, then he woke up to shout, may God be pleased with him, again: “I bear witness that there is no god but God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God”
Islam Ghaffar
He, may God be pleased with him, returned to his tribe, and he told them about the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and the new religion, and what he calls for of noble morals, so he introduces his people to Islam, then he goes to the (Aslam) tribe and guides it to the truth and peace. He approached Madinah, saying, “Abu Dhar, may God be pleased with him, came with the tribes of Ghifar and Aslam, so the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, increased in amazement and amazement, and he looked at them and said: “Ghaffar, may God forgive her and grant him peace, may God grant her peace.” And Abu Dhar had a blessed greeting from the Holy Prophet, when he said He said: “I did not carry the dust nor shade the green ones. I was more truthful in tone than Abu Dharr”
Battle of Tabuk
In the Battle of Tabuk in the year 9 AH, it was difficult and hot days. The Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and his companions went out, and the more they walked, the more tired and hardship they walked. The Holy Prophet turned around and did not find Abu Dhar, so he asked about him, and they answered him: “Abu Dhar fell behind and slowed his camel with him.” The Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Leave him.” If there is good in it, God will catch up with you, and if it is otherwise, then God has relieved you of it.
” In the morning, the Muslims put their saddlebags to rest, and one of them saw a man walking alone, so he told the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, so the Messenger said: “Be a father of war.” Dhar, may God be pleased with him, walking towards the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, hardly saw him until he said: “May God have mercy on Abu Dhar. He walks alone, dies alone, and is resurrected alone”
The Prophet's will to Abu Dhar
The Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, addressed Abu Dhar on the day of a question: “O Abu Dhar, how will you be if princes seize control of the booty?” He replied, “Then, by Him who sent you with the truth, I will strike with my sword.” Meet me.” And Abu Dhar memorized the precious commandment of the Messenger, so he would not carry the sword against the faces of the princes who enriched the nation’s money, but he would carry the truth with his sharp tongue
Jihad Abu Dhar with his tongue
The era of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, passed, and after him the era of Abu Bakr and Omar, may God be pleased with them, in complete superiority over the temptations and temptations of life, and the era of Othman, may God be pleased with him, came and began to show the aspiration to the charms and temptations of the world, and power becomes a means of control, wealth and luxury, Abu Dhar saw this and extended his hand to his sword to face the new society, but he soon understood the commandment of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him: “It is not for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake.
” It was necessary here for the honest and honest word, for there is no more truthful than Abu Dhar’s dialect, and Abu Dhar went out to the strongholds of power and wealth, objecting On its misguidance, and became the banner around which the masses and toilers gathered, and his fame spread and his chant was repeated by all people: “Preach the hoarders who hoard gold and silver with irons of fire with which their foreheads and their sides will be cauterized on the Day of Resurrection”
Abu Dharr began in the Levant, the largest stronghold of control and awe, there is where Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan found Abu Dharr, may God be pleased with him, poverty and distress on one side, and palaces and loss on the other side, so he shouted at the top of his voice: “I am amazed at someone who does not find food in his house, how can he not go out on People wielding his sword »Then he mentioned the commandment of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, to put patience in the place of reversal, so he returns to the logic of persuasion and argument, and teaches people that they are all equal like the teeth of a comb, all partners in sustenance, until he stood before Muawiya asking him as the Messenger,
may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, told him without fear or politeness, and shouting it And who is with him: “Are you the ones who revealed the Qur’an to the Messenger while he was among them?” And he answers them: “Yes, you are the ones about whom the Qur’an was revealed, and you testified with the witnessing Messenger.” And he returns to the question: “Do you not find in the Book of God this verse: }... And those who hoard up gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of God, give them glad tidings of a painful chastisement on the day it is heated for it in Hellfire, so their foreheads, their sides, and their backs will be branded with it. This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you used to hoard.” [At-Tawbah: 34-35]
Then Muawiyah says: “This verse was revealed about the People of the Book.” Abu Dhar shouts: “It was revealed for us and for them.” And Muawiyah senses the danger from Abu Dhar, so he sends to Caliph Othman, may God be pleased with him: “Abu Dhar has corrupted the people in Levant.” Then Othman writes to Abu Dhar He summons him, so he bids farewell to the Levant and returns to Medina, and says to the caliph after a long dialogue: “I have no need in your world.” He asked for permission to go out to (Rabadha), and there some asked him to raise the banner of revolution against the caliph, but he rebuked them, saying: “By God, if Uthman crucified me on the tallest tree, Or a mountain, I would have listened and obeyed, had patience and sought reward, and I thought that was good for me
Abu Dhar does not want the world, rather he does not wish for leadership for the Companions of the Messenger of God so that they remain pioneers of guidance. One day Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari met him and opened his arms to him wanting to embrace him. Welcome, so he removed him from him and said: “Aren’t you the one who appointed the emirate, so you built tall buildings, and took livestock and crops for you?” And I offered him the emirate of Iraq, so he said: “No, by God, you will never favor me with your life”
Abu Dhar's example of the Messenger
Abu Dharr - may God be pleased with him - lived following the example of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, as he says: “My friend recommended seven things to me, he commanded me to love the poor and to be close to them, and he commanded me to look at the one below me and not look at the one above me, and he commanded me not to ask anyone for anything, and he commanded me to uphold the ties of kinship, And he commanded me to speak the truth even if it was bitter, and he commanded me not to fear in God the blame of the blamer, and he commanded me to more than: There is neither power nor strength except with God.” Abi Dhar »
And Abu Dhar used to say to those who prevented him from giving the fatwa: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if you put the sword above my neck, then you thought that I was executing a word that I heard from the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, before you were seized, I would implement it.” I saw with you two new clothes a few days ago? Abu Dhar replied: “My nephew, I gave them to someone who is more in need of them than me.” He said to him: “By God, you are in need of them.” Abu Dhar replied: “Oh God, forgive you. I milk it, and I ride a donkey, so what blessing is better than what we are in
The death of Abu Dharr
In (Al-Rabadha) the death throes came to Abu Dhar Al-Ghifari, and next to him his wife was crying, so he asked her: “Why is crying when death is right?” She replies that she is crying: “Because you are dying, and I do not have a garment that can accommodate a shroud!” He smiles and reassures her and says to her: “Do not cry, for I heard the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, one day while I was with him in a group of his companions, saying: “A man among you will die in a desert, and a group of believers will witness him.
” There remains one of them but me, and here I am in the wilderness, dying, so watch the road, and a group of believers will come upon us, for by God I have not lied nor did I lie.” And his soul overflowed to God, and he was truthful. As soon as he saw the face of Abu Dharr, his eyes overflowed with tears and he said: “The Messenger of God spoke the truth. You walk alone, you die alone, and you will be resurrected alone.” And he began to tell his companions the story of this phrase that was said in the Battle of Tabuk
