In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Mawaddah Association is pleased
To present to you pictures from the lives of the Companions
Id al-Rahman Rafah al-Pasha
May God have mercy on him
Atba bin Ghazwan
May God be pleased with him
He sheltered the Commander of the Faithful, Omar bin Al-Khattab
After the evening prayer, he went to his place of rest
He wanted to get some rest
To use it for help at night
But sleep escaped the eyes of the Caliph
Because the mail was carried to him
The Persian armies were defeated by the Muslims
It was whenever his soldiers were about to finish her off
Supplies come from here and there
It quickly regained its strength and resumed fighting
And he was told
It's the city of idiots
It is one of the most important sources that supply the defeated Persian armies
With money and men
He decided to send an army to conquer Al-Ubla
And cut off its supplies to the Persians
But he suffered from the lack of men he had
This is because the young Muslims, their elderly and their elderly
They have gone out, attacking the vast expanses of the earth as invaders in the cause of God
Until he had very little left in the city
So he resorted to the method by which he was known
It compensates for the lack of soldiers with the strength of the commander
So Kinana scattered his men in front of him
He began to crush their sticks one by one
I soon finished chanting
I found it
Yes, I found it
Then he went to bed saying:
He is a mujahid
I knew him as Badr, Uhud, Khandaq and its sisters
Al-Yamama and its positions witnessed him
He did not have a sword, nor did his shot miss
Then he migrated two migrations
He was the seventh person to convert to Islam on earth
When morning came, he said:
Call me Utbah bin Ghazwan
Three hundred and fifteen men held the banner for him
He promised him that he would provide him successively with the men available to him
When the small army decided to leave
Al-Farouq stood up and bid farewell to his leader, Otba, and bid him farewell
And he said to him
O threshold
I have directed you to the land of fools
It is one of the enemy's fortresses
I hope God helps you with it
If it comes down
So call her people to God
Whoever answers you, accept it
And whoever refuses, then take tribute from him on behalf of small and lowly people
Otherwise, put an unrelenting sword at their necks
And fear God, O Utbah, in what you are entrusted with
Beware of your ego quarreling over arrogance that will spoil your hereafter
He knew that you accompanied the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
May God honor you with it after your humiliation
It strengthens you after weakness
Until I became an authoritative prince
An obedient leader
You say and he listens to you
You command and your command is obeyed
What a blessing it would be if she didn't deceive and deceive you
And it takes you to hell
May God protect you and me from it
Utbah bin Ghazwan went with his men
He was accompanied by his wife and five other women
Of the soldiers' wives and sisters
Until they settled in the land of Qasba
It is not far from the city of Al Abla
They had nothing to eat
When the hunger became severe for them
Utbah said: Let us flee from them
Seek for us in this land something to eat
So they searched for what would satisfy their hunger
Along with the food, they had a story that someone told them
And he said
While we were looking for something to eat
We entered a thicket, and there were two wildebeests in it
In one of them you pass
And in the other, a little white love
Covered with yellow peel
So we attracted them until we brought them close to the army
One of us looked at the basket containing the love
He said: This is poison prepared for you by the enemy
Do not approach him
He looked to the dates and made us eat them
And so are we
He saw a horse whose reins had been cut off
He approached the love tree and started eating it
By God, we were determined to slaughter him before he died
Let us benefit from his flesh
Then his friend came up to us and said
Leave him and I will guard him tonight
If I feel that he is dead, I slaughter him
When we arrived, we found the horse healthy
There is no harm in it
My sister said
My brother
I heard my father say
Poison does not harm if it is put on fire and cooked
Then I took some love and put it in the pot
And I lit a fire under it
Then she soon said
Come and see how red he is
Then he made his peel crack
Eggs emerge from it
So we threw it in the pot so that we could eat it
Utbah told us
Mention the name of God over it and eat it
So we ate it and it was very good
Then we learned later that his name was rice
It was Al-Ubla to which Utbah bin Ghazwan headed with his small army
A fortified city standing on the shore of the Tigris
The Persians had used it as a storehouse for their weapons
They made the towers of their fortresses observatories to monitor their enemies
But that did not prevent Utbah from invading it
Despite the small number of his men and the small number of weapons
Only 600 men gathered for him
They are accompanied by a small group of women
He had no weapons other than swords and spears
He had to use his intelligence
A threshold was prepared for the women, and banners were raised on the sticks of spears
He ordered them to walk behind the army
He said to them, “We are approaching the city.”
So we preferred the dirt behind us so that it would fill the air with it
When they approached Al-Ubla, the Persian soldiers came out to them
They saw them approaching them
They looked at the flags fluttering behind them
They found dust filling the air behind them
They said to each other
They are the vanguard of the military
Behind them is a huge army raising dust
We are few
Then panic spread in their hearts
Anxiety gripped them
They started carrying things that were light in weight and expensive
They race to board the ships anchored in Dhajla
And they turn away
He entered the threshold of Al-Ubula without losing any of his men
Then he conquered the surrounding cities and villages
And the riches of that are the singing of what is impossible to limit
It exceeded every estimate
One of his men even returned to the city
So people asked him
How stupid are Muslims?
He said: What are you wondering?
By God, I left them while they were hoarding gold and silver in bulk
So people began to seek the traveling idiot
Then he saw Utba bin Ghazwan
To station his soldiers in open cities
You will accustom them to easy living
And you create them with the morals of the people of that country
Their resolve to continue fighting weakened
So he wrote to Omar bin Al-Khattab
He asks him for permission to build Basra
He described the place he had chosen for her
So he gave him permission
Step into the new city
The first thing he built was its great mosque
No wonder
It is for the sake of the mosque
He and his companions went out as warriors for the sake of God
And in the mosque
He and his companions defeated the enemies of God
Then the soldiers raced to seize the land
And building houses
But Otba did not build a house for himself
But he continued to live in a tent made of cloth
This is because he had confided something to himself
Utba saw that the world was approaching the Muslims in Basra
He amazes the woman about himself
And his men who were a little while ago
They do not know any food better than boiled rice with its husk on
They have tasted the Persian food, such as faluzh, lozinj, and other things
And they found it
So he feared for his religion because of his worldly life
I prefer the future rather than the immediate
He gathered the people in the Basra Mosque and addressed them
And he said
People
The world has come to an end
And you are moving from it to a house where there will be no disappearance
So move to it with the best of your deeds
And I saw me seven times with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
We have no food other than tree leaves
Until our elders were afflicted with it
I picked up a rose one day
So I divided it between me and Saad bin Abi Waqqas
So I paid half of it
And Saad was responsible for the other half
So today, not a single one of us remains
Except that he is a prince over Egypt from among the regions
I seek refuge in God to be great to myself
Little in the sight of God
Then he appointed one of them as their successor
He bid them farewell to the city's misfortunes
When he came to Al-Farouq
He asked him to exempt him from guardianship, but he did not exempt him
So he insisted on it
The Caliph insisted on it
He ordered him to return to Basra
So he submitted to Omar's command unwillingly
He rode his camel while saying:
Oh God, do not return me to her
So God answered his prayer
He was not far from the city until his camel found him
He became proud of her and died
Atba bin Ghazwan has a place in Islam
Omar bin Al-Khattab
Oh poetry
Make me cry
In praising them, does he excel?
