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
By Abd al-Rahman Rafat al-Basha
May God have mercy on him
Jenir bin Abdullah Al-Bajli
May God be pleased with you
Here we are in the mosque of the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
Shortly before the farewell pilgrimage
And people have taken their places in its pure spaciousness
Preparing to hear the Friday sermon
And here is the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, ascending the pulpit
Everyone in the mosque becomes listening ears and conscious hearts
And eyes drawn to him, attached to him
Do not turn away from it or change it
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, began warning and giving good tidings
He preaches and reminds
He mentions and deals with the affairs of Muslims as he deals
And while they are
A large delegation from the Bajila tribe came to the mosque
Coming from Yemen
To declare his conversion to Islam in the hands of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
He pledges allegiance to him on listening and obedience, whether active or compulsory
The men of the delegation took their places among the Muslim crowds
At their head was Jarir bin Abdullah Al-Bajli
The master of Bagila and its obedient leader
So, there are Muslims who are not distracted by anything from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
They turn their eyes to Jarir bin Abdullah
They began to stare at him for a long time and sharpen their gaze
They even imagined that they were on a date with him
Or as if she had cursed them
They wanted to verify his person and verify his quality
As soon as the prayer ended
Even what Jarir had to do with a Muslim man who was sitting next to him said
Why do people look away and stare at me?
Even you that I have a need for them
Is it just a coincidence or is there something to it?
The man said that people did not turn their eyes to you
Except because the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, told us a short while ago
By coming at the head of a delegation from your people
He mentioned your description to us and said:
A man from the best people of Yemen enters upon you
He has the air of a king on his face
Jarir bin Abdullah Al-Bajli was relieved when he heard
His face shone with joy
His soul was pleased with what the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, removed from those who described him
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, never finished his prayers, glorifications, and supplications
Even like Jarir in his hands
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him
What brings you, Jarir?
He said, “I have come to greet you and my people, O Messenger of God.”
And we will pledge allegiance to you
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to him
I pledge allegiance to you on the condition that you bear witness that there is no god but God
And I am the Messenger of God
And perform the prayer
And you pay zakat
And fast Ramadan
And you make pilgrimage to the house
She advises the Muslim
And obey the governor
Even if he was an Ethiopian slave
He said: Yes, O Messenger of God
He extended his right hand to him and pledged allegiance to him
Since that day
The bonds of affection between the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, became stronger
Its owner is Jarir bin Abdullah Al-Bajli
He attained the honor of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
And cherish him
What only a rare few of its former companions who converted to Islam enjoyed
What the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, withheld
A day until he died
Not once did he meet him except that he laughed at him and smiled at him
One time he entered upon the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in his house
He welcomed him
When he did not find anything to sit on
He took his robe
He folded it and put it out for him to sit on
So Jarrini took the robe
He hugged him to his chest
He started kissing him as he said
May God honor you, O Messenger of God, just as you honored me
May God strengthen you as you strengthened me
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, turned to those with him and said
If a noble person comes to you, honor him
As soon as Jarir Ibn Abdullah Al-Bajli converted to Islam
He joined the Faith Brigades
Until he became trusted by the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
And the trust of his successors after him
So they entrusted him with important matters
They relied on him for great missions
Before the death of the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
Grera called him and said
Are you comfortable with Dhul Khalsa, Jarir?
He said: Yes, O Messenger of God
This is what the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, wanted
To rest from him before he passes away
A group of idols in the city of Tabala
A seven-night journey from Mecca on the way to Yemen
I painted it white
Inscriptions such as crowns were engraved on it
He was in charge of the sadanah of Dhul-Khalisa bin Imamah
It was revered by the Khath'am, Bajila, and Azd tribes
You perform Hajj to it, circumambulate it, and sacrifice there
They even called it the Yemeni Kaaba
The Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, chose Jarir for this mission
For his sovereignty in Bagila and his position among the Yemeni tribes
So Jarir shouted on the orders of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He chose one hundred and fifty brave knights for this expedition
When they were about to leave, he came to bid farewell to the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
He complained to him that he could not stand on horseback due to his tall stature and large head
The Holy Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, struck his chest and said
Oh God, make him steadfast and make him a guide
After that, he was one of the most proven knights on the mounts of pure horses
Jarir went with his men to Dhul-Khalasa, killed his guards and destroyed his temples
He lit fires in his idols and then sent a bringer of glad tidings to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He gives him good news of the elimination of that tyrant that distressed and distressed him
Its place later became the threshold of the Great Mosque of Tabala
Jarir did not return to Medina after the demolition of Dhul-Khalasa, but rather continued his journey to Yemen
To call its kings to Islam by order of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Then a delegation came to Dhu al-Kalaa al-Asfar, the greatest king of Yemen at that time
He showed him the virtues of Islam, read before him some of the Qur’an, gave him good tidings, and warned him
So God opened the king’s heart to faith, and he soon testified that there is no god but God
And that Muhammad is the Messenger of God
Dhu al-Kalaa rejoiced greatly at the faith God had bestowed upon him after polytheism
On the day he converted to Islam, he freed four thousand slaves and then immigrated with his people to Medina
He found the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, dead
His people went to Hamas and took it as their place of residence and homeland
When the caliphate passed to Al-Siddiq, may God be pleased with him
Jarir bin Abdullah put himself, his sword, and his people in obedience to him
Abu Bakr stripped him to eliminate the sedition of apostasy in Yemen
So Jarir carried out the matter in the best possible way
The killer killed the apostates until he broke their strength and returned them to the fold of Islam
When the caliphate came to Omar, may God be pleased with him
He had Jarir, yes, the companion, the marshal, and the leader
Omar was very kind to him
He is admired for his sharp intelligence and flexible intuition in critical situations
From this, Omar was in a council with Jarir bin Abdullah
A group of Muslims were waiting for prayer
Then a wind came out from one of the people
The people remained silent and calmed down
Everyone is afraid to think it is him
Omar was afraid that the wind would bring shame to him
To enter prayer without ablution
He said: I decided that the one who had the wind should get up and perform ablution
He made people look at each other
Jarir bin Abdullah quickly said:
Command us, O Commander of the Faithful, that we all perform ablution
He explained on the authority of Omar and said
Yes, they all performed ablution
Then he turned to Jarir and said
May God have mercy on you, yes sir, you were in pre-Islamic times
And yes sir, you are in Islam
Then all the people performed ablution
Yes, sir, I was in ignorance
And yes sir, you are in Islam
Omar bin Al-Khattab
And yes sir
