Pictures from the lives of the followers
By Dr. Abdul Rahman Raafat Al-Basha
May God have mercy on him
Salem bin Abdullah bin Omar
May God have mercy on him
It belonged to the Commander of the Faithful, Omar bin Al-Khattab
A group of children
But his son Abdullah
He was the most similar to him
It belonged to Abdullah bin Omar
Number of children
More than his father had
But his son is safe
He was the most similar to him
Let us follow the life story of Salem bin Abdullah
Grandson of Al-Farouq
People are more like him in character and character
We are friendly and handsome
Salem bin Abdullah lived in the comfort of Taiba
He was kind then
She flaunts in dresses of wealth and grace
Never seen anything like it before
Her livelihood came to her in abundance from everywhere
The Umayyad caliphs provided her with means of wealth
What never occurred to me
But Salem bin Abdullah
He did not accept the world as others did
He did not care about her fleeting display
And everyone else celebrated it
Rather, he abstained from what is in the hands of people out of a desire for what is with God
And turn away from the urgent
Please win the future
The Umayyad caliphs tried to bestow goodness upon him
They also bestowed it upon others
They found him abstaining from what was in their hands
He belittles the world and what is in it
In the same year
Suleiman bin Abdul Malik came to Mecca in need
When he began to perform the Tawaf al-Qudum
I see Salem bin Abdullah sitting in front of the Kaaba in submission
He moves his tongue with the Qur’an in devotion and reverence
And his tears are flushed on his cheeks
Even you have a sea of tears behind his eyes
When the Caliph finished his circumambulation
He prayed two rak'ahs during the Tawaf
Head to where Salem bin Abdullah is sitting
So the people made way for him
So he took his place next to him
He almost touched his knee
Salem did not notice him or pay attention to him
Because he was absorbed in what he was in
Busy remembering God about everything
The Caliph began to watch unscathed
He seeks an opportunity to stop reciting
He stops crying until he speaks to him
When he had the opportunity, he turned to him and said:
Peace be upon you, Abu Omar, and God’s mercy
He said, “May the peace and mercy of God Almighty be upon you.”
And his blessings. The Caliph said in a low voice
Ask me something and I will fulfill it for you, Abu Omar
Salem did not answer him anything
The Caliph thought he did not hear him
He leaned on him more than before and said
You wanted to ask me something so I could fulfill it for you
Salem said, “By God, I am ashamed.”
To be in the house of God Almighty
Then ask someone else
The Caliph was ashamed and remained silent
But he remained sitting in his place
Salem got up and wanted to go on his journey
Then crowds of people followed him
This person asks him about one of the hadiths
The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
He asks him for a fatwa regarding a matter of religion
A third seeks his advice on a worldly matter
A fourth asks him to pray
He was among those who followed him
Caliph of the Muslims, Suleiman bin Abdul Malik
When people saw him
They pushed him until this was his burden
Salim bin Abdullah's shoulder
So he leaned over him and whispered in his ear, saying:
Here we are, those who have become
Outside the mosque, ask me something
I will pay it for you, and Salem said
From the needs of the world or from my needs
The Caliph was confused and said:
Rather, it is one of the needs of the world
Salem told him that I did not ask
The needs of the world are those who have them
How can I ask for it from someone who does not have it?
The Caliph was ashamed of him
He greeted him and left him while saying:
How dear you are, Al-Khattab
With asceticism and piety
May God Almighty bless you
May God bless you from the family of the Prophet
And in the year before that
Hajj Al-Walid bin Abdul-Malik
When people dispersed from Arafat
He met Caliph Salem bin Abdullah
In Muzdalifah, it is forbidden
So he and his family lived
Then he looked at his exposed body
As if it were a built building
He said to him, “You have a beautiful body, Abu Omar.”
How much food do you have?
He said bread and oil
If I find meat sometimes, I eat it
He said bread and oil
And he said yes
He said: Do you desire it?
He said, “If I don’t desire it, I will leave it.”
If I am hungry, I crave it
And just like Salem, his grandfather Al-Farouq
In turning away from the world
And asceticism with its mortal offer
It also resembles it loudly
With the word of truth
No matter how heavy it is
Severe consequences
From this, he entered the pilgrims
Al-Hajjaj loved him and made his lowest gathering
And he exaggerated in his honor
And while they are
The pilgrims brought a group of men
Feeling numb to objects
Zero faces bound in handcuffs
Al-Hajjaj turned to Salem
He said: These people are gone
Corruptors on earth
Then he gave him a sword
He pointed to the first of them and said
You have to go to him and hit his neck
So Salomon took the sword from Al-Hajjaj’s hand
He walked towards the man
The people's eyes were fixed on him
Look what he does
When he stood up to the man, he said to him
Are you Muslim? And he said yes
And this question
I will go ahead and do what you ordered
Salem said to him, “Did you pray the morning prayer?”
The man said
I told you that I am a Muslim
Then she asks me if I prayed the morning prayer
Do you think there is a Muslim who does not pray?
Salem said
I ask you, did you pray this morning?
May God guide you
I told you yes
I asked you to do what this oppressor ordered you to do
Otherwise, you expose yourself to his wrath
So Salem returned to Al-Hajjaj
He threw the sword in his hands and said
The man acknowledges that he is a Muslim
He says that he prayed this morning
I have been informed that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He said: Whoever prayed the morning prayer?
He is under God's protection
I do not kill a man who has entered the protection of God Almighty
Al-Hajjaj said to him
Angry, we won't kill him
I have to leave the morning prayer
We kill him because he is one of those who helped me
Caliph Othman bin Affan was killed
Salem said to him
Who is more deserving of the blood of Othman than me and you?
The pilgrims remained silent
He did not give an answer
Then one of the council's witnesses came to the city
Abdullah bin Omar told
What Al-Hajjaj asked of his son Salem
He did not wait until he heard the rest of the news
But his interlocutor quickly said:
And Salem did not do anything about Al-Hajjaj
He told him to do such and such
He explained to him and said
Bag bag sane sane
When the caliphate came
To Omar bin Abdul Aziz
He wrote to Salem bin Abdullah saying:
As for what follows, God Almighty
He afflicted me with what He afflicted me with in terms of guardianship
He commanded the Muslims without consulting him
So I ask God who tested me with this matter
To help me with it
If this book comes to you
So send me the letters of Omar bin Al-Khattab
And I spent it and its walk
I am determined to follow his path
I will follow his path if God helps me
Peace be upon that
So Salem wrote to him, saying, “But now.”
I received your book in which you mention it
God Almighty has tested you
Under the command of Muslims without your request
No advice and you want to walk
With the history of Omar, he will not be destroyed
You are in a time other than the time of Omar
And there is no one among your men who is similar
Men of Omar, but
Know that you desire the truth and want it
May God help you and make it possible for you
workers who do it for you
And He brought them to you from where you did not expect
God's help to the servant is infinite
His intention is the one whose intention was fulfilled
In goodness, God helped him
Whoever has short intentions will lack help
God is as good as his lack of intention
And if your soul disputes with you
God Almighty is not satisfied
So remember those who were before you who were powerful
Those who preceded you in leaving this world
And ask yourself
How did their eyes gouged out?
They see pleasures with it
And how their stomachs were torn apart
They do not satisfy their desires
How did they become dead?
And the hills of the earth did not hide it
We were disturbed by its smell
We felt the harm from its stench
May the peace and mercy of God Almighty be upon you
And His blessings
And after that, Salem bin Abdullah bin Omar bin Al-Khattab lived
Long life
Full of meetings and full of guidance
In it, turn away from the adornments and embellishments of the world
Through it, I accept what pleases God
So he ate as much food as he could eat
And wear rough clothes
The Romans invaded with Muslim armies
He met the needs of Muslims
And mothers benevolently bent over them
When certainty came to him
In the year one hundred and six AH
The city shook with grief for him
And his obituary is a sorrow in every heart
And on every cheek a tear
He gave the people all the people to gossip
His funeral and they witness his burial
It was Hisham bin Abdul Malik
That day he was in the city
So he went out to pray for him and take him to the funeral
When he saw the crowding and flow of people
His aura is their abundance
It aroused a kind of envy in his chest
He asked himself saying:
See how much comes out of these people
If the Caliph of the Muslims died in...
This is their country
Then he said to Ibrahim bin Hisham Al-Makhzoumi
And his governor over the city
Force the people of Medina to be sent
Four thousand men to the borders
A year, four thousand
No one was safe in Salem's time
Bin Abdullah is more similar to him
With those who have passed away from the righteous
In asceticism, virtue and living
Imam Malik
They left and left
There is a question in the conscience
Are they like a star?
Sky and hills
They filled with life
Proud of their actions
And the world of selfishness has become apparent to them
