May God have mercy on him
Muhammad bin Sirin
May God have mercy on him
Sirin decided to complete the half of his religion
After Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, freed his neck
After his craft began to bring him abundant profit and much good
He was a skilled coppersmith who mastered making pots
He was chosen as a servant of the Commander of the Faithful, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him
Safia is invited to be his wife
Safiya was a slave girl in her early youth
She has a bright face and a smart heart
Cream of Shama by Nabila Al-Khaseel
She was beloved by all the women of the city who knew her
There is no difference in this between the young women who are related to her and the young women who are related to her
Among the older women who saw her, he rated them as a sound mind and sober behavior
The women who loved her the most were the wives of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
Not to mention Mrs. Aisha, may God be pleased with her
Sirin came forward to the Commander of the Faithful
So he proposed to his mistress, Safiyya
The friend, may God be pleased with him, took the initiative to research the suitor’s religion and character
The caring father also takes the initiative to search for the condition of his daughter’s suitor
Make no mistake, Safiyya occupied the status of a son in relation to Abu Bakr, as a son in relation to his father
Then after that, it is all a trust, or God has left it on his neck
He went on to investigate Sirin's conditions more closely
His biography is closely followed
Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, was at the forefront of those who asked them about him
Anas said to him, “O Commander of the Faithful, marry her to him.”
Do not fear any harm for her
I did not know him except one who was true to religion, pleased with his character, and well-mannered
His reasons have been linked to my reasons since Khalid bin Al-Walid took him captive
In the battle of Ain al-Tamr, he brought with forty boys to the city
Sirin was my lot and I was lucky with him
Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him, agreed to marry Safiya to Sirin
He was determined to honor her as a compassionate father would honor his beloved daughter
He threw a party for her queen, the likes of which few girls in the city had ever received
A large group of noble companions witnessed its ownership
There were eighteen Badrians among them
The scribe of the revelation of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, called for her Ubayy ibn Ka’b
And those present believed in his prayers
And her kindness and beauty were three of the Mothers of the Believers, may God be pleased with them, when she was married off to her husband
One of the fruits of this blessed marriage was that the parents were blessed with a son
After two decades, he became a prominent figure among the followers
One of the most distinguished Muslims was Muhammad ibn Sirin
So let us begin the story of the life of this venerable follower from the beginning
Muhammad bin Sirin was born during the remaining two years of the caliphate of the Commander of the Faithful, Othman bin Affan, may God be pleased with him
He was raised in a home with piety and piety from every corner
And when the intelligent, clever boy woke up
He found the mosque of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
It is filled with the remaining remnants of the noble Companions and senior followers
Such as Zaid bin Thabit, Anas bin Malik, and Imran bin Al-Hussein
And Abdullah bin Omar, Abdullah bin Abbas, Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr, and Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with them all.
So I approached them as a thirsty person would seek a sweet resource
He benefited from their knowledge of the Book of God and their understanding of the religion of God
And their narration of the hadith of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
How full of wisdom and knowledge his mind is
And he provided himself with righteousness and guidance
Then the family moved with their outstanding boy to Basra
She made it her home
Basra at that time was a young and virgin city
The Muslims planned it at the end of the caliphate of Al-Farouq, may God be pleased with him
It represented most of the characteristics of the Islamic nation in that era
It is a military base for Muslim armies invading for the sake of God
It is one of the centers of education and guidance for those entering the religion of God from the people of Iraq and Persia
It is an image of a serious Islamic society that works for its worldly life as if it were living forever
He works until the end as if he will die tomorrow
In his new life in Basra, Muhammad bin Sirin took two parallel and balanced paths
So he devoted part of his day to knowledge and worship
Another part is for earning and trading
Then dawn came and the world shone with the light of its Lord
Tomorrow to the Basra Mosque to teach and learn
Even when the day rose, he went from the mosque to the market, buying and selling
When night comes and the universe falls into a blanket
He lined up in the mihrab of his house and bowed over parts of the Qur’an with his cross
He cried out of fear of the Most Merciful, with tears in his eyes and heart
Until his family and envious neighbors pity him
When they hear his wailing that breaks the hearts
He used to roam the market during the day, buying and selling
He never ceases to remind people of the afterlife and give them insight into this world
He guides them to what brings them closer to God
He decides on the disputes that arise between them
He used to nudge them from time to time with salt
Which wipes away the worries from their distressed souls
Without this detracting from his prestige and respect among them in any way
God Almighty gave him guidance and honor
And give him acceptance and influence
When people saw him in the market, they were immersed and unaware
Pay attention and remember God Almighty, and praise and exalt God
His practical life was the best guide for people
Two things happened to him in his business
Unless he takes the most reliable of them in his religion
Even if there is a loss that befalls the world
His understanding of the secrets of religion was accurate
And the correctness of his view of what is permissible and what is not permissible
Sometimes it pushes him into some situations that seem strange to people's eyes
For example, a man falsely claimed that he owed two dirhams
He refused to give them to him
The man said to him, “Shall I swear?”
He thinks he will not swear for two dirhams
He said yes and swore to him
And the people said to him
O Abu Bakr, I swear for two dirhams
And you are the one who left forty thousand dirhams yesterday for something that you have acquired
Which no one but you would suspect
He said: Yes, I swear
I do not want to feed him unlawful food
I know it is forbidden
It was Bin Sirin's council
A council of goodness, righteousness and admonition
If a man is mentioned to him with an evil deed
He hastened to remind him of the best of his knowledge
He even heard someone insulting the pilgrims after his death
So he approached him and said
Shh, my nephew
Al-Hajjaj went to his Lord
And when you come before God Almighty
You will find that it is the most despicable sin you have committed in the world
It is more difficult for yourself than the greatest sin committed by the pilgrims
On that day, each of you will have something that will enrich him
And teach, my nephew
That God Almighty
He will take revenge on the pilgrims for those who wronged them
He will also retaliate against the pilgrims who wronged him
Do not worry yourself after today about cursing anyone
Whenever a man came to him on a business trip
He told him
My nephew
Fear God Almighty
And ask for whatever lawful path is destined for you
And he knew that if you ask for it without solving it
You were not injured more than you were destined to be
It was by Muhammad bin Sirin
The picks of the Umayyad tribe are notable positions
Spread the word of truth in it
I sincerely advise God and His Messenger
And to the imams of Muslims
From this, Omar bin Hubayra Al-Fazari
The great man of Banu Umayyad
And their governor over the Iraqis
He sent a letter to him inviting him to visit him
So he went to him and with him was my nephew
When he came to him
The governor welcomed him and honored him
He adjourned the council
He asked him about many religious and worldly matters
Then he told him
How did you leave the people of Egypt, Abu Bakr?
And he said
I left them and there was injustice among them
And you are not on their side
So his nephew winked at him
He turned to him and said
You are not the one asking about them
But I am the one asking
It is a testimony
And whoever conceals it, his heart is sinful
When the council adjourned
And call him Omar bin Hubayra
He received him with such warmth and reverence
He sent him a bag containing three thousand dinars
He did not take it
His nephew said to him
What prevents you from accepting the prince's gift?
And he said
He gave it to me because of his good belief in me
If you are among the good people as he thought
What should I accept?
Even if I was not what he thought
I would rather not deem it permissible to accept that
God Almighty has willed it
To test the honesty and patience of Muhammad ibn Sirin
It exposes him to the tribulations that believers are exposed to
From that
He once bought oil for forty thousand deferred
When someone opened the bottle of oil
He found a dead, rotting mouse in it
He said to himself
All the oil was in the press in one place
Impurity is not specific to this slime and no other
If I return it to the seller with a defect
Maybe he sold it to people
Then he spilled it all
This happened at a time
He was complaining about a great loss that had befallen him
So religion rode him
The oil owner demanded his money
He could not pay it
So he submitted his matter to the governor
So he ordered his imprisonment until he paid what I owed
When he was in prison
He stayed there for a long time
The jailer felt sorry for him when he learned about his religion
And what he saw of the intensity of his piety and the length of his worship
He said to him, Sheikh
If it's night
So go to your family and spend the night with them
If you wake up, come back to me
Continue doing so until you are released
He said to him, “No, by God, I will not do it.”
The jailer said
And when God guided you
He said to him, “So that I will not help you betray the ruler.”
When Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, was dying
He recommended that Muhammad ibn Sirin wash him and pray over him
He was still imprisoned
When he died, people came to the governor
They informed him of the will of the companion of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his servant
They asked him for permission to release Muhammad ibn Sirin to enforce the will
So he gave him permission
Muhammad bin Sirin said to them
I will not go out until you ask the debtor for permission
I was imprisoned because of the right he had over me
The creditor also allowed him
Then he came out of prison
So he washed Anas, shrouded him, and prayed over him
Then he returned to prison as he was
He did not go to see his family
The life of Muhammad bin Sirin until he reached seventy-seven
When certainty came to him
He found it light to carry the burdens of the world
Plenty of provision after death
Hafsa bint Rashid narrated
She was one of the worshipers, she said
Marwan Al-Mahli was our neighbor
He was steadfast in worship and diligent in obedience
When he died
We were very sad for him
I saw him in a dream
So I said, Abu Abdullah
What has your Lord done to you?
He said, “Admit me to Paradise.”
I said then what?
Then it was raised to the companions of the right, he said
I said then what?
He said then it was raised to those close to him
I said who did I see there?
Al-Hasan Al-Basri said
And Muhammad bin Sirin
I have never seen a man more knowledgeable in his piety
I am not keen on jurisprudence
From Muhammad bin Sirin
Leafy for the calf
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
The world of self-sufficiency became apparent to them
