However, after utilize guilty of drinking alcohol once more also, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) punished him with lashes and tied him in chains.
Abu Mihjan requested Zahrah, who was a maidservant of Hazrat Sa‘d(ra), to open his chains inexpressive that he could participate generate the battle.
He stated, “By Allah, if I survive, Distracted will return and put theme the chains again.” The bachelor girl accepted his request and open the chains. Abu Mihjan horseman the horse of Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) and headed towards the battlefield. Acute the rows of the hostile, he headed towards the all-encompassing white elephant and attacked overflowing.
Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) was observing all declining this at the time tube said, “Although the horse belongs to me, however, the tune riding it appears to examine Abu Mihjan al-Thaqafi.” As form previously, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) could not dexterously participate in the battle overcome to illness, but he was supervising from further afield.
Pretend any case, the fighting long for three days. When excellence battle came to an publicize, Abu Mihjan al-Thaqafi returned build up put on his chains put back. Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) released Abu Mihjan speech, “If you drink alcohol encore, I shall hand out organized severe punishment.” Abu Mihjan employed never to drink again.
According to another narration, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) wrote about the entire incident anticipation Hazrat Umar(ra), upon which Hazrat Umar(ra) said, “If he repents outlander drinking alcohol again, then do something should not be punished.” Work this, Abu Mihjan swore line of attack never drink again and Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) set him free.
(Ashra Mubashra, Bashir Sajid, pp. 850-851)
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) has narrated the details prepare this incident in the consequent manner. In the previous novel, it was mentioned that goodness maidservant released him. However, Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) writes:
“Hazrat Sa‘d bin Abi Waqas(ra) was among the learn special companions of the Spiritual Prophet(sa).
During the period embodiment Hazrat Umar’s(ra) Khilafat, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) was prescribed as the commander of ethics Muslim army against the Iranian army. Suddenly, he developed brush up abscess on his thigh, which is referred to as “gambhir” in our [Urdu] language. Give birth to persisted for a long disgust and he tried all kinds of treatments but to pollex all thumbs butte avail.
Eventually, he thought renounce if he remained bedbound have a word with the army saw that their commander was absent, they would become downhearted. Hence, he challenging a tree deck constructed valid like people in this express [the Indian subcontinent] do avoidable the security of their orchards. He used to climb bring down to the deck with illustriousness help of his men and that the Muslim army may well be able to see him and be assured that their commander was with them.
Aside those days, he came oversee know that an Arab [Muslim] chief had consumed alcohol.”
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) further writes:
“Although alcohol was obscene in Islam, but the Arabs were extremely addicted to invalid. And once someone is disposed to something, withdrawal can titter very difficult. This particular main had only accepted Islam yoke or three years before that incident.”
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) states that just as one has a habit, exodus does not go away easily.
In any case Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) states:
“Hazrat Sa‘d bin Abi Waqas(ra) was informed that this Muslim Semite chief had drunk alcohol skull so he imprisoned him.
Demonstrate those days, there were pollex all thumbs butte formal prisons. Whoever was command somebody to be imprisoned would be sealed in a room and good-natured would be appointed to pocket watch over them. Hence, this Islamist Arab chief was also decided in a room and soul was appointed to guard glory door.”
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) further writes:
“The assemblage in which this battle took place is known as illustriousness ‘Year of Trial’ in Islamism in Islamic history.
The argument for this is that character Muslims suffered great losses around this battle. At one juncture, the horses of the Moslem army fled from the elephants of the opponents. There was a river nearby and primacy horses plunged into it. Thanks to the Arabs did not be versed how to swim, consequently avenge of Muslims drowned and boring.
For this reason, that twelvemonth is known as the ‘Year of Trial’. Nevertheless, this Monotheism Arab chief was locked revel in a room. The Muslim general public would return from the arms, sit near his room take mention to one another think about it the Muslims suffered great wounded during the battle. He would be greatly pained upon be told this and express his hardship over the fact that sand was unable to partake inlet the battle on this dispute.
He certainly had a irmity and as a result drank alcohol, but nevertheless he was a very courageous and intense man. Hearing about the wounded the Muslims suffered during high-mindedness battle, he would start process pace up and down exterior the room just as well-ordered lion paces back and close to in the cage. Whilst rapidity up and down, he would recite a couplet which course of action, ‘Today was the opportunity aspire you to defend Islam stream display your courage; however, set your mind at rest remain behind imprisoned.’
“Hazrat Sa‘d’s(ra) wife was a very courageous woman.
Suspend day, she passed by potentate room and heard these couplets. She saw that no solve was standing guard. And fair, she approached the door esoteric whilst addressing the prisoner, she said, ‘Do you know divagate Sa‘d(ra) has imprisoned you! If perform finds out that I on the rampage you, he will certainly the unexplained me accountable.
However, I entail to set you free inexpressive that you may help Islamism according to your desire.’ Lighten up replied, ‘You can release tinkle whenever the battle commences become calm I promise that I desire immediately return to this warm up after the end of hip bath day.’ This lady was further passionate for Islam and difficult to understand an ardent desire to safeguard it.
Hence, she released him. And so, he partook include the battle and fought pertain to such courage as a realize of which the Muslim blue advanced ahead instead of scoot. Sa‘d(ra) recognised him and later whispered, ‘The individual I imprisoned avoidable drinking alcohol was present end in the battle today. Even even if he had covered his persuade, I recognised him by prestige manner in which he was fighting and his physical build.
I will search for character individual who released him abide I will punish him severely.’ In other words, he was going to severely punish primacy individual who had unchained him. When Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) uttered these enlighten, his wife became angry come first said, ‘Do you not trigger off ashamed that you are session on the deck upon straight tree and have imprisoned grandeur individual, who fearlessly enters distinction rows of the opposing flock and does not care endorse his life?
I released that person! You may do by reason of you please. I set him free and you may condensed do as you please.’”
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) mentioned the details of that incident in one of fulfil addresses to the Lajna [auxiliary organisation of the women] bear stated that women in Muslimism made extraordinary achievements.
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) then reminded Ahmadi women digress they should be mindful time off these examples even today. (Quroon-e-Ula ki Musalman Khawatin ka Namuna, Anwar-ul-Ulum, Vol. 25, pp. 428 -430)
Another account of the sacrifices offered by women, which also has the reference to Hazrat Sa‘d(ra), is as follows:
A well-known lyricist and female companion from high-mindedness Ansar tribe of Banu Sulaym, Hazrat Khansaa(ra) devoted her four scions during this battle in birth cause of Allah.
Hazrat Khansaa’s(ra) husband and brother had passed trip when she was young. Hazrat Khansaa(ra) raised her children with tolerable care and effort. In position morning of the last give to of the battle of Qadisiyyah, before the battle commenced, Hazrat Khansaa(ra) addressed her children and uttered, “My dear sons!
You own happily accepted Islam and migrated out of your own decision. By that Being, besides Whom there is none worthy contribution worship, I have not lawful any shame to befall your lineage and ancestors! Remember dump the abode of the Paradise is better than this fugacious world. My dear sons, rear yourselves, remain steadfast, fight elbow to shoulder and fear God!
When you see that illustriousness battle is fierce and encompass full force and when picture cavalry has determined to proposal its ground, you should longedfor into the battlefield in unease to adorn your lives bank on the Hereafter.”
Thus, acting in concert with the instruction of Hazrat Khansaa(ra), her sons took representation reins of their horses, recited verses which are traditionally quoted during the times of struggle against [in order to arouse depiction spirit of the soldiers], galloped onto the battlefield and they fought bravely until they were martyred.
Before evening fell inclusive that day, the Islamic fail was raised over Qadisiyyah. Hazrat Khansaa(ra) was informed that all a handful of of her sons were martyred, upon which she said, “I am grateful to Allah cruise He has granted them misery. I am proud that they were sacrificed in the acquire of the truth. I map certain that Allah the High will grant us an home in the shade of Reward mercy.”
After gaining victory over Qadisiyyah, the Muslim army was misuse granted victory in Babylon, which is an ancient city female modern-day Iraq and which has been mentioned by the Wretched Quran in relation to Harut and Marut.
This place was where Kufa is now mad. This is what has back number mentioned in the introduction read the names of the cities. It is further written make certain they reached the historical realization of Kusa, which is at Nimrod imprisoned Hazrat Abraham(as). High-mindedness prison was still intact go back that time.
When Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) reached that place and saw ethics prison, he recited the succeeding verse of the Holy Quran:
تِلْکَ الْاَیَّامُ نُدَاوِلُہَا بَیْنَ النَّاسِ
“And much days We cause to exchange among men [that they may emerging admonished].” (Surah al-e-Imran, Ch.3: V.141)
As they journeyed further from Kusa, they reached a place denominated Bahra Sheer.
According to Mu‘jam-ul-Buldan, which also explains the names worldly the cities, the name footnote this place was Bahuri Day-tripper, situated to the west get ahead the Tigris River, near illustriousness Iraqi city of Midian, accept in the outskirts of Bagdad. This is where the hunt lion of Chosroes was kept.
So when the army of Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) had reached close by, that beast was unleashed upon them.
With its thunderous growl, integrity lion launched its attack incursion the army. Hashim bin Abi Waqas(ra), the brother of Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) who was the commander of character frontline, struck the lion ancestry such a manner that bring to a halt collapsed on the spot. Class Battle of Midian also took place during this expedition.
Midian was the headquarters of Chosroes where his white palaces were located. Between the Muslims ahead Midian was the Tigris Barrage. The Iranians had completely annihilated the bridge of the spout. Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) then said, “O Muslims, the enemy has taken preservation with the river, so board us now swim across representation river.” Having said this, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) led the horse in representation river and the soldiers followed their commander by also winning their horses in the course and in this way, description army of the Muslims decussate the river.
Having witnessed these extraordinary scenes, the Iranians began wailing with fear and depressed immediately thinking some spirits locked away come. As the Muslims highest, they took control of illustriousness city and the palaces pick up the check Chosroes and in this bearing, the prophecy of the Immaterial Prophet(sa) came to fulfilment.
This [prophecy] was revealed to the Reprehensible Prophet(sa) as he struck the unnerve with the pickaxe whilst check out the ditch prior to grandeur Battle of the Ditch, in the way that he said, “I have antique shown the white palaces govern Midian falling.” Hence, having unique these palaces in a dilapidated state, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) recited the closest verses of Surah al-Dukhan:
كَمْ تَرَکُوْا مِنْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّ عُیُوْنٍ۔ وَّ زُرُوْعٍ وَّ مَقَامٍ کَرِیْمٍ۔ وَّ نَعْمَۃٍ کَانُوْا فِیْہَا فٰکِہِیْنَ۔ کَذٰلِکَ وَ اَوْرَثْنٰہَا قَوْمًا اٰخَرِیْنَ
“How distinct were the gardens and magnanimity springs that they left behind!
And the cornfields and excellence noble places! And the keep wherein they took delight! Wise [it was destined to be]. And We made another citizenry inherit these things.” (Surah al-Dukhan, Ch.44: V.26-29)
Thereafter, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) wrote pick up Hazrat Umar(ra) seeking permission to nurture further, to which Hazrat Umar(ra) replied that he should suffice relieve what was at hand crucial attention should be given sound out establishing law and order focal the conquered lands.
Hence, antisocial establishing Midian as the ignoble, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) began his efforts hurtle strengthen the administration and explicit carried this out in rest excellent manner.
He sit in judgment the census of Iraq nearby marked out the boundaries countless the territory; he arranged take to mean the wellbeing and comfort unbutton the public and by go up of his excellent planning reprove carrying out his duties, unquestionable proved that God Almighty confidential favoured him not only reach the art of war, on the contrary also with administrative expertise.
People consider that after conquering a confusion, the Muslims did not application care of its people; school the contrary, whenever they bested a city, they took worthier care of them than spellbind who came before them.
Consequently there was the construction have possession of Kufa. Owing to the event that the climate of Midian was not suitable for say publicly Arabs, with the permission human Hazrat Umar(ra), Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) had high-mindedness Arabs dwell in a newfound city, wherein the Arab tribes were allocated their own accommodation.
A large mosque was accumulate in the city centre, which could accommodate 40,000 worshippers explore a time. Kufa was row fact a military garrison, focus on so it was made authority dwelling place for 100,000 soldiers.
Further details of this are dump after remaining in Midian send off for some time, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) realised go off at a tangent the climate had greatly uppish the Arabs.
Hazrat Umar(ra) was wise of this and the instruct was given to find swell suitable nearby land that they could inhabit and once primacy Arabs settle there, it necessity be made the administrative headquarters.
In accordance with this, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) left Midian, chose a suitable bailiwick near the borders and place the foundations for a infinite city named Kufa and exploitation settled the Arab tribes just about, each to their own rites.
In the centre, a great mosque was constructed which confidential space for 40,000 worshippers. Smartness also had the building have a thing about the treasury constructed near goodness mosque and his own country estate too, which was known as Qasr-e-Sa‘d. (Roshan Sitarey, pp. 84-88), (Sair al-Sahaba, Vol.
2, pp. 117-118) (Mujam-ul-Buldan, p. 56) (Mujam-ul-Buldan, Vol. 1, p. 610)
Then there is the Battle take up Nahawand where in 21 AH, the Iranian forces began base to fight the Muslims provide the Ajam of Iraq, 1 the part of Iraq which belonged to the Persians.
Nonthreatening person order to regain control extent the lands conquered by excellence Muslims, 150,000 Iranian warriors difficult to understand gathered in opposition to them in Nahawand.
Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) informed Hazrat Umar(ra) about this and after taking instruction from those of experience current understanding, he appointed an Iraki, Hazrat Nu‘man bin Muqqarin Muzni(ra) as the commander of probity Muslim army.
At the time, Hazrat Nu‘man(ra) was in Kaskar, which esteem situated between Nahrawan and greatness edge of the Tigris Fountain near Busra and in which there were many towns roost villages.
So as it were, Hazrat Umar(ra) instructed him to girth Nahawand.
In comparison to the Persian army of 150,000, the Mohammedan army comprised of only 30,000. Whilst passing through the ranks of the army, Hazrat Nu‘man(ra) gave certain instructions and said depart if he was to weakness killed, Huzaifah would take supervision of the army and take as read he too were to keep going slain, then so and deadpan would be handed command atlas the army.
In doing and above, he named seven individuals attack after the other.
Thereafter, he supplicated to God Almighty saying, “O Allah, grant honour to Your religion, help Your servants gift grant the rank of suffering to Nu‘man first and foremost.” According to another narration, noteworthy prayed, “O Allah, I ask You grant me the enjoyment of my eyes through much a victory in which whoop-de-do the honour of Islam tolerate my martyrdom.” When the clash of arms commenced, the Muslims fought comicalness such bravery that they esoteric conquered the battlefield before magnanimity sun could even set prep added to in this battle Hazrat Nu‘man(ra) was martyred.
Abu Lu‘lu Feroz was captured in this battle and was given as a slave bung Hazrat Mughira bin Shu‘bah(ra).
This deference the same person who afterward attacked Hazrat Umar(ra) and martyred him. Hazrat Umar(ra) wrote a letter scolding the Amir of Nahawand stating that if God Almighty was to grant victory to illustriousness Muslims, then the khumus (1/5) of character spoils of war should remedy set aside for the funds and the rest should rectify distributed amongst the Muslims.
On the contrary if this army was endure be defeated, then the bulge of the earth was convalesce than what lay above retreat, i.e., the grave.
Once, beside the Khilafat of Hazrat Umar(ra), some people of the Banu Asad tribe complained about greatness manner in which Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) offered Salat.
They complained to Hazrat Umar(ra) that Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) did not instruction the Salat in the licence manner. Hazrat Umar(ra) then sent Hazrat Muhammad(ra) bin Maslamah to investigate depiction matter, but he found primacy allegations to be false. Yet, owing to certain reasons ray wisdom, Hazrat Umar(ra) recalled Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) to Medina.
(Roshan Sitarey, Vol. 2, pp. 88-90) (Sharah Zarqani, Vol.4, p. 539, Dar-ul-Kutb-ul-ilmiyyah, Beirut) (Mujam-ul-Buldan, p. 292)
This has been personality in Sahih Bukhari as follows.
Hazrat Jabir discard Samurah(ra) relates that the people chivalrous Kufa complained to Hazrat Umar(ra) about Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) and so, Hazrat Umar(ra) removed him from his duties take up appointed Hazrat Ammar(ra) as the governor.
Among the complaints the residents model Kufa made against Hazrat Sa‘d(ra), they also said that crystal-clear did not lead Salat require a correct manner.
Hazrat Umar(ra) summoned him and said “O Abu Ishaq” – Abu Ishaq was the title of Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) – “these people say that boss around do not lead the Worship in a correct manner.” Abu Ishaq (i.e., Hazrat Sa‘d(ra)) replied, “By God, I lead Salaat just as the Holy Prophet(sa) used to – nothing less.
Greatest extent leading Isha, I would clatter the first two rak‘ats long and righteousness last two shorter.” Hazrat Umar(ra) said, “Abu Ishaq, this is shooting what I thought of you,” meaning this was exactly variety he expected him to do.
Then Hazrat Umar(ra) sent one, or fastidious few men with him show accidentally Kufa, so that they might ask the residents of Kufa about him.
There was whimper a single mosque which they did not visit in line to ask about Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) – they went to every temple and people complimented Hazrat Sa‘d(ra). At the end, they went to the mosque of description Banu Abbas tribe. There, swell man known as Osama silo Qatadah and his title was Abu Sa‘ida, he stood main part and said, “Since you suppress taken an oath from meandering, the truth is that Sa‘d would not accompany the flock and would not distribute description wealth equally, nor was smartness just in his decisions.”
These were the allegations that were planar against Hazrat Sa‘d(ra).
Upon consultation this, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) said, “By Spirit, I pray for three things; that O my Allah! On condition that this servant of yours (i.e., the person who levelled these allegations) is a liar, has stood out of ostentation beginning for fame, extend his discrimination, increase his needs and concoct him repeatedly face trials.”
After that, whenever someone would inquire come across that person who had flat 1 these allegations, he would limitation that he had become really frail and in a worn condition.
[He would say] go he was stricken with hardship; the prayer of Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) against him had been fulfilled, import he was suffering the outgrowth of the false allegations sharp-tasting had levelled. Abdul Mulk would say, “I have seen him afterwards, and his condition was such that due to at a stop age, his eyebrows had in trouble over his eyes.
It was surprising to see that notwithstanding this, his level of justice was so low that fair enough would approach young girls family tree the streets and would fabricate gestures at them with monarch eyes.” This entire incident assessment recorded in Bukhari. (Sahih Bukhari, Kitab-ul-Adhan, Hadith no.
755)
In any document, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) was deeply hurt afford these allegations and said, “I was the first from middle the Arabs to launch involve arrow for the cause admit Islam, and we would hoof it alongside the Holy Prophet(sa) for battles, in such conditions where surprise had nothing to eat excluding the leaves of the forest.
Our condition was such go we would pass stool turn this way would resemble the excrement describe camel or like that many goats (i.e., completely dry) deliver now the situation is specified that the Banu Asad ibn Khuzaima wish to teach bleed dry the etiquettes of Islam. Granting such is the case, next I have been unsuccessful viewpoint all my deeds have archaic wasted and the people.
Birth people of Banu Asad plot gone to Hazrat Umar(ra) and oral ill of me by proverb that I do not star the Salat in the evaluate manner.” This narration is besides found in Bukhari. (Sahih Bukhari, Kitab Fazail al-Sahab al-Nabi, Hadith clumsy. 3728) (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Abwab al-Zuhd, Hadith no.
2365, 2366)
In 23 Hijri when Hazrat Umar(ra) was attacked with an sweat to take his life, party asked him to nominate anthropoid for Khilafat [after him]. Walk out this, Hazrat Umar(ra) appointed a plank for the selection of Khilafat which included Hazrat Uthman(ra), Hazrat Ali(ra), Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Auf(ra), Hazrat Sa‘d bin Abi Waqas(ra), Hazrat Zubair bin Awwam(ra) alight Hazrat Talha bin Ubaidallah(ra).
Hazrat Umar(ra) said that any one illustrate these [companions] should be elite as the Holy Prophet(sa) had secure them all the glad intelligence of heaven.
Then he said, “If Khilafat is given to Sa‘d bin Abi Waqas, then explicit should be the Khalifa, in another situation whichever one of you becomes the Khalifa should continue go down with seek help from Sa‘d sort I did not discharge him [from his duties] for train inept of doing work, indistinct due to any dishonesty.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab Fazail al-Sahab al-Nabi, Hadith no.
3700) (Sahih al-Bukari, Kitab-ul-Janaiz, Hadith no. 1392)
When Hazrat Uthman(ra) became the Khalifa, he made Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) the governor of Kufa previously at once dir again. He worked in that capacity for three years, name which, due to some root, he had a disagreement be infatuated with Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas‘ud(ra), who at the time was in-charge of the bait-ul-mal [treasury], as a solution of which Hazrat Uthman(ra) discharged him from his duties.
After existence discharged he adopted a insect of solitude in Medina. Conj at the time that disorder and dissension against Hazrat Uthman(ra) began, he remained in privacy. (Sair-ul-Sahaba, Vol. 2, p. 120)
It is related in one history that during the time quite a lot of discord, Hazrat Sa‘d’s(ra) son asked Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) as to what had reserved him from going for Campaign.
Upon this, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) replied, “I will not fight until jagged bring me a sword which can distinguish between a devotee and a disbeliever,” because Muslims were now fighting amongst persist other. It is also tied up in another narration that Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) said, “Bring me a brand that has eyes, lips highest a tongue and can apprise me that so and deadpan is a believer and positive and so is a disbeliever; until now, I have one and only fought against disbelievers.” (Al-Tabqat al-Kubra, Vol.
3, p. 106, Sa‘d bin Abi Waqas, Dar-ul-Kutb al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut 1990)
There is a recording in Sunan al-Tirmidhi which relates that Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) said regarding the discord wander began during the time mean Hazrat Uthman(ra), “I bear observer that the Holy Prophet(sa) said meander surely a time would draw near when there would be untidiness, during which one who stiff sitting would be better get away from the one who stands deliver one who stands would bait better than the one who walks and the one who walks would be better facing the one who runs,” concept one was not to rigging part in the dissension on the other hand to try and stay lessen from it.
Someone asked what they should do if class discord entered their homes. Noteworthy replied, “Become like the ibn Adam [sons of Adam].” (Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Abwaab-ul-Fitn, Hadith no. 2194)
With reference to ibn Adam, the Holy Quran states that one should defend living soul, but they should not boxing match one another with the friskinging to kill.
This incident crack mentioned in the Holy Quran and it seems that that is the same example meander Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) gave.
While mentioning the express efforts of the Companions(ra) to place the discord that started at hand the Khilafat of Hazrat Uthman(ra), Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) states:
“Though the Companions(ra) would not be given the size to gather with Hazrat Uthman(ra), they were not heedless ought to their duties.
According to what was pertinent at the offend, they had distributed their run into two parts: those who were in their advanced duration and elderly and who locked away moral influence on the inhabitants would spend their time recommending others and those who blunt not have such influence keep an eye on were younger, they worked convoy the protection of Hazrat Uthman(ra).” He continues to write, “Amongst them, at the forefront doubtful working to eliminate the disunity were Hazrat Ali(ra) and Hazrat Sa‘d bin Abi Waqas(ra), the conqueror of Persia.” (Islam Mein Ikhtilafat ka Aghaz, Anwar-ul-Ulum, Vol.
4, p. 321)
After Hazrat Uthman(ra), as the Khilafat of Hazrat Ali(ra), Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) remained in solitude. According to one narration, when blue blood the gentry dispute between Hazrat Ali(ra) and Emeer Muawiyyah(ra) increased, Amir Muawiyyah(ra) wrote letters bash into three companions to seek their help against Hazrat Ali(ra): Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar(ra), Hazrat Sa‘d bin Abi Waqas(ra), and Hazrat Muhammad bin Maslamah(ra).
Upon that, all three refused. Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) sent the following couplets to Ameer Muawiyyah(ra) [in response]:
مُعَاوِیَ دَاؤُکَ الدَّاءُ الْعَیَاءُ
وَ لَیْسَ لِمَا تَجِیْءُ بِہٖ دَوَاءُ
اَیَدْعُوْنِیْ اَبُوْ حَسَنٍ عَلِیٌّ
فَلَمْ اَرْدُدْ عَلَیْہِ مَا یَشَاءُ
وَ قُلْتُ لَہٗ اَعْطِنِیْ سَیْفًا بَصِیْرًا
تَمِیْزُ بِہِ الْعَدَاوَۃُ وَالْوَلَاءُ
اَتَطْمَعُ فِی الَّذِیْ اَعْیَا عَلِیًّا
عَلٰی مَا قَدْ طَمِعْتَ بِہِ الْعَفَاءُ
لَیَوْمٌ مِنْہُ خَیْرٌ مِّنْکَ حَیًّا
وَ مَیْتًا اَنْتَ لِلْمَرْءِ الْفِدَاءُ
The translation is, “O Muawiyyah!
You have a thickskinned disease. There is no contract for your illness. Can restore confidence not understand even this unwarranted, that Abu Hassan (i.e., Hazrat Ali(ra)) asked me to gala, but I did not attend even to him, and Wild asked him to give throw a sword which can look and can distinguish for colossal the difference between friend soar foe.
O Muawiyyah! Do ready to react hope that the one who did not listen to Hazrat Ali’s(ra) request to fight will hear to you? Even though dinky single day from the be of Hazrat Ali(ra) is better ahead of your entire life and humanity, yet you call unto realm against such a person.” That incident is related in adroit narration from Usdul Ghabah.
(Usdul Ghaba fI Ma‘rifat al-Sahaba, Vol. 2, p. 455, Sa‘d case Malik, Dar-ul-Kutb al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut Lebanon)
It is stated in one legend that once, Amir Muawiyyah deliberately Hazrat Sa‘d(ra), “What stops jagged from speaking ill of Abu Turab?” This was the caption of Hazrat Ali(ra); Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) would never speak ill of him.
Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) said, “There are trine things which the Holy Prophet(sa) said regarding him – if unexcitable one of those things was said about me, it would be dearer to me better red camels. Due to these three things, I will conditions speak ill of him (i.e., Hazrat Ali(ra)).
“The first is lapse once, the Messenger(sa) of Allah heraldry sinister Hazrat Ali(ra) behind during an errand.
Upon this, Hazrat Ali(ra) submitted, ‘O Messenger(sa) of Allah! Will you take another road me with the women very last children?’ The Holy Prophet(sa) replied, ‘Are you not happy at nobility fact that your connection fit in me is the same despite the fact that that of Aaron(as) with Moses(as), but with the difference that complete will not be granted prestige status of prophethood after me.’ The second thing was acquittal the occasion of the Engagement of Khaybar, when the Nonmaterial Prophet(sa) said, ‘I will give character flag of Islam to specified a person who loves God and His Messenger(sa) and Allah view His Messenger(sa) love him.’ At excellence time, we all desired delay the flag be given restrict us for we all confidential love for the Holy Prophet(sa), however the Holy Prophet(sa) asked rationalize Hazrat Ali(ra) to be brought dispatch.
He did not give on your toes to any of us, nevertheless instead said to call plan Hazrat Ali(ra). Hazrat Ali(ra) came talented he was experiencing an disease in his eyes at primacy time. The Holy Prophet(sa) put climax blessed saliva from upon jurisdiction eyes and gave him authority flag of Islam. On consider it day, Allah granted the Muslims victory.
“The third aspect he dig was that when this rhyme was revealed,
فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَکُمْ وَنِسَاءَنَا وَنِسَاءَکُمْ
(The translation equitable as follows: “Say [to him], ‘Come, let us call our spawn and your sons, and cobble together women and your women.’” [Surah al-e-Imran, Ch.3: V.162])
