May God have mercy on him
Al-Ahnaf bin Qais
May God have mercy on him
Damshan was laughing at the open spring
She is arrogant with her subtle look
Proud of its fragrant riads
It was the palace of the Commander of the Faithful
Muawiyah Ibn Abi Sufyan
He was prepared to receive those arriving to him
As soon as he gave permission to the first person to come to the Caliph
Until his sister, Umm al-Hakam, daughter of Abu Sufyan, took the initiative
So she took her place behind the curtain
To listen to what is narrated in the Caliphate Council
From the hadiths of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
And let it be filled with what the people of the Commander of the Faithful spread
Anecdotes from the news
Masterpieces of poetry and great wisdom
She was a strong-minded and energetic woman
You aspire to honorable demands
She knew that her brother allowed people to enter him
According to their ranks
The Companions of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, take precedence over those other than them
Then followed by the senior followers
And the people of knowledge and those with calculations
But the mother of judgement
She found her brother welcoming his first visitor
There is some apathy in it
And I heard him say to him
I swear to God, O Ahnaf, you did not appear like that on the day of Siffin once
And I remembered your bias towards us
And your standing by Uri bin Abi Talib
But it will be in my heart until I die
So the man said to him:
I swear, Muawiyah
The hearts with which we hated you are still within us
The swords with which we fought you are still in our hands
If it approaches the war, then you will see that we are approaching it by an inch
If you walk to it, we will go to it jogging
By God, you did not bring us to you with a desire for your giving
Or in awe of your dryness
We have come to you to heal the rift and reunite
And collect the karma of Muslims
Then he turned and left the way he came
Umm did not have the right to rule
Unless you remove the edge of the curtain
To see this being returned to Caliph Al-Hijr from where it came
And the reward will be given to him in two times
She saw a short man with a small body
Bald head with overlapping teeth
What is the chin and sunken eyes?
I bend my legs
There is nothing wrong with a human being
Except he has a share of it
She turned to her brother and said
O Commander of the Faithful!
Who is this who threatens the Caliph and threatens him in his Aqrabah?
Muawiyah sighed and said
This is the one who gets angry
One hundred thousand Banu Tamim were angry with him
They do not know why he was angry
He is Al-Ahnaf bin Qais
Sayyed Bani Tamim
One of the most distinguished Arabs and their conquering heroes
Let us review the story of the life of Al-Ahnaf bin Qais from the beginning
In the third year before immigration
He was born to Qais bin Muawiyah Al-Saadi
A newborn was named Al-Dahhak
But the people did not stay
They called him the most stubborn
There is crookedness in his legs
Then he won the title over Lesm
Qais, Al-Ahnaf’s father, was not one of his people in Al-Dhu’aba
Nor from their footnotes
But it was among the people
Al-Ahnaf was born in the homes of his people
West of Al-Yamamah, in the lands of Najd
The girl grew up as an orphan
Where his father was killed when he was a child, he has not yet been listed
Then the lights of Islam flooded his heart
He is a boy whose mustache did not grow
The Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was sent
A few years before his death
A caller from his companions to Rahat Al-Ahnaf bin Qais
He invites them to Islam
The preacher gathered in front of the people
And he urged them to believe
He offers them Islam
The people remained silent
And make them look at each other
Al-Ahnaf came to them and was present and said:
Oh people
Why do I see you hesitating?
You advance one man and delay another
By God, this newcomer is upon you
For good arrivals
He calls you to good morals
And He forbids you from its convenience
By God, we heard nothing but good things from him
So respond to the one seeking guidance
You will win the goodness of this world and the hereafter
They soon converted to Islam
He handed over the fatta with them
Then a delegation of senior people came to the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
However, Al-Ahnaf did not join them due to his young age
He was deprived of the honor of companionship
But he was not deprived of the pleasure of the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
And pray for him
Al-Ahnaf said
While I was walking around the ancient house during the time of Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him
When a man I know met me
So he took my hand and said
Don't I give you good news?
I said yes
He said
Do you not remember the day the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, sent me to your people to invite them to Islam?
So I began to invite them and offer them entry into the religion of God
Then you said what you said
I said yes
He said
I returned to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
And I told him about your article
And he said
Oh God, forgive the stubborn ones
Al-Ahnaf used to say:
None of my actions will be of any use to my feet on the Day of Resurrection
From the call of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
When the Noble Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, joined the supreme companion
Masirama, the liar, appeared on the people with his deceitful deeds
And those who apostatized from Islam because of him
Al-Ahnaf bin Qais went to him
With his sunbathing uncle
To meet him and hear from him
Al-Ahnaf was in his early youth at that time
When they left him, Al-Mushamsun said to his nephew
How did you see the man, Ahnaf?
And he said
I saw him as an invalid who fabricated lies about God and people
His uncle told him jokingly
Aren't you afraid for yourself if you tell him you're lying?
Al-Ahnaf said
Then I will take you to him
Do you swear that you did not lie to him as you lied to him?
Al-Fata and his uncle laugh
They remained steadfast in their Islam
It is not surprising if you are amazed
You were astonished by these firm and decisive positions
Which the most stubborn people stop in matters of great importance
Despite his young age
But your wonder will pass
Your surprise will disappear
If you know that Fata Bani Tamim
He was a rarity in his sharpness of mind
And ignite intelligence
Honesty of outlook and purity of nature
And it was from his childhood
He sits with the chieftains of his people
He covers their souls and witnesses their conferences
He is taught by their wise men and wise men
He said about himself
We used to go to the gatherings of Qais bin Asim Al-Manqari
Let us learn from him to dream
We also go to councils of scholars
Let us receive knowledge from them
So he was told
And who has achieved his dream
And he said
I came to him once and saw him sitting in the courtyard of his house
Hidden by the sheaths of his sword
He tells his people
So I said hello and sat down
And it is only a few
Until we heard a noise and looked
Suddenly, a young man was brought to him
Another was killed
And he was told
This is your nephew. So-and-so killed your son
By God, he did not lose his love or stop his speech
Then he turned to his nephew and said
My nephew
I killed your cousin
So you cut your womb with your own hand
And you shot yourself with your arrow
Then he told another son of his
Get up, my son, and take off your cousin's shoulder straps
See your brother
Then he drove one hundred camels to his mother to bury her son
She is strange
It was made available to Al-Ahn in Ibn Qays
To be a student of the noble Companions
And among them is Al-Farouq, may God be pleased with him
He witnessed his meetings and heard his sermons
He was aware of His decrees and rulings
He was one of the brightest students produced by the Omariya School
The most profound of them was influenced by her inimitable genius teacher
It was said to him once
With the dignity and wisdom you have been given
And he said
In words I heard from Omar bin Al-Khattab, where he said:
He who jokes is belittled
He is known for more than one thing
And whoever talks a lot, he will fall a lot
Whoever falls frequently, his modesty decreases
He who has little modesty has little piety
Whoever is less pious, his heart dies
Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qays led his people
Although he was not among the highest among them
There is no time for them as a mother or father
But the questioners asked him about the secret of that
Someone said to him
Who is dominated by his people, O Abu Bahr?
And he said
Whoever has four qualities
He ruled his people undefended
So he was told
What are these qualities?
And he said
Whoever has a debt reserves it
He just protects it
And reason guides him
And modesty prevents him
And the most stubborn after that
One of the Arab dreamers
Whose dream set a proverb
He has achieved his dream
Omar bin Al-Ahtam seduced a man
Because of his curse, it is a disgusting curse that raises embarrassments
But Al-Ahnaf remained silent and dejected
When the man saw that he did not answer him or care about him
He took his thumb in his mouth
And he started biting him while he was saying
They made him worse
God did not prevent him from answering me
Except my disdain for him
It was agreed that he was the kindest
He walks in the outskirts of Basra
Empty by itself
A man attacked him
He insulted and insulted him
And he hears the speechless
He was silent and angry on his way
When they approached the people
He turned to the man and said
My brother's son
If there is anything left of your words
So say it now
If my people hear what you say
You were harmed by them
He was the kindest person above all of that
Fasting and steadfast worshipers
Ascetic with what is in the hands of people
And when the night fell upon him
He saddled his flashlight and placed it close to him
He stood in his prayer niche and prayed
He fidgets like a sick person
He cries like a bereaved person
Out of fear of God's punishment
Fearing his anger
And whenever he felt one of his sins
Or one of his faults appeared
He put his finger close to the lamp and said
Feel good, you are the most ungrateful
What made you do such-and-such on such-and-such day?
Woe to you, Ahnaf
If you can't stand today
Lamp flame
And do not be patient with his heat
How can you bear the flames of hell tomorrow?
And be patient with his harm
Oh God, please forgive me
You are worthy of that
Even if you torture me
I am worthy of that
May God be pleased with Al-Ahnaf
Ibn Qais and his satisfaction
It was a masterpiece of the time
A unique type of people
Al-Ahnaf is Ibn Qays
He was very honorable and happy
What the state does not benefit from
Isolation does not harm him
Ziyad bin Abi
Change situations and examples
He followed the Messenger when he sought or said
They were here watering the clouds of our lives
They are in us
Their remembrance is exalted
They left and threw a question in my mind
Is there a star like them in the sky and its hills?
They filled their lives with pride in their actions
And the world of the ego has become apparent to them
