Pictures from the lives of the followers
By Dr. Abdul Rahman Raafat Al-Basha
May God have mercy on him
Yas bin Muawiyah Al-Muzani
May God have mercy on him
Commander of the Faithful, Omar bin Abdul Aziz
That night he slept soundly
He didn't blink an eyelid
He was not reassured by his side
It was keeping him occupied on that cold night
From the nights of Damascus
An order to select a judge for Basra
He establishes the scales of justice among people
He judges them according to what God has revealed
Do not embrace the truth out of fear or desire
He chose two men
They were Kafr Sirhan
Jurisprudence in religion and firmness in truth
Brightness in thought and holes in sight
Whenever he found an advantage in one of them
Swing it over its owner
Alpha, in the end, corresponds to this advantage
In the morning, he called his guardian to Iraq
Adi bin Arta
He was with him at that time in Damascus
And he told him
O Adi, combine Iyas bin Muawiyah Al-Muzani
And Al-Qasim bin Rabia Al-Harithi
He spoke to them about the matter of the Basra judiciary
One of them took over
He said, “Listen and obey, O Commander of the Faithful.”
Collected by Adi bin Arta, Tabin Iyas and Al-Qasim
He said that the Commander of the Faithful, may God grant him long life
He ordered me to appoint one of you as the judge of Basra
So what do you see?
Each of them said on behalf of his friend
He is more worthy of this position than him
He mentioned his grace, knowledge and jurisprudence
Whatever God wants to mention
Uday said
You will not get out of this council
Until you resolve this matter
Ayas said to him
Prince
Salani and Al-Qasim, the Iraqi jurist
Al-Hasan Al-Basri and Muhammad Ibn Sirin
They are the people best able to distinguish between us
Al-Qasim used to visit them and they visited him
Iyas has no ties with them
Al-Qasim knew that Iyasa wanted to implicate him
And if the prince consults them
He referred to it without its owner
All he had to do was turn to the prince and say:
Do not ask anyone about me or him, O Prince
By God, there is no god but Him
Iyasa is more knowledgeable than me in the religion of God
And I know the judiciary
If I am lying in this oath of mine
It is not permissible for you to appoint me as judge
And I am guilty of lying
Even if you are honest
It is not permissible for you to change from the virtuous to the virtuous
Iyas turned to the prince and said
Prince
You brought a man and called him to justice
So I stopped him on the brink of hell
He saved himself from it with a false oath
He soon asks God for forgiveness from her
He saves himself from what he fears
Uday said to him
Who understands like you do?
He deserves to be judged
Then he appointed him as judge of Basra
Who is this who was chosen by Caliph Al-Zahid?
Omar bin Abdul Aziz
His judge in Basra
Who was struck by his intelligence and acumen
And his intuition is proverbs
Proverbs were also given by Jawd Hatim Al-Tai
And the dream of Al-Ahnaf bin Qais
And the courage of Omar bin Maadi
Until Abu Tammam said in praise of Ahmed bin Al-Mu'tasim
Omar's courage in His Eminence Hatem
In a dream, I was more intelligent than Iyas
Let's start the story of the man's life from the beginning
The man has an exciting biography that is one of the masterpieces of biography
Iyas bin Muawiyah bin Qara Al-Muzani was born
In the year 46 AH
In the Al-Yamamah region in Najd
He moved with his family to Basra
There he grew up and learned
He visited Damascus in his youth
He took it from the remnants of the honorable companions who recognized it
Glory be to the followers
It appeared on the pubescent boy
Signs of purity and signs of intelligence from an early age
He made people share his news and anecdotes
He is still a young boy
It was narrated that he was learning arithmetic from a book by a Jewish man from the people of the Dhimmah
So his Jewish friends gathered at the teacher
And he started talking about matters of religion
He listens to them from where they do not know
The teacher said to his friends
Aren't you surprised by the Muslims?
They claim that they eat in heaven and do not defecate
Ayas turned to him and said
Would you permit me, teacher, to speak about what you are discussing?
The teacher said yes
The boy said
Eating whatever is eaten in this world comes out as excrement
The teacher said no
The boy said
Where does the one who does not come out go?
The teacher said, “It goes into the body’s nutrition.”
The boy said
What is your objection?
If some of what we eat in this world is lost as food
That all goes into food heaven
So the teacher waved his hand and said to him
May God kill you boy
The boy grows older year by year
News of his intelligence comes with him wherever he goes
It was narrated that he entered Damascus while he was still a boy
He disagreed with a sheikh from Damascus about one of his rights
When he despaired of convincing him with the argument, he called him to court
When it was in the hands of the judge
Iyas became angry and raised his voice against his opponent
The judge said to him
Lower your voice, boy
Your opponent is an old man of great age and power
Ayas said
But the truth is greater than him
The judge got angry and said:
Shut up
The boy said
Who will speak my argument if I remain silent?
The judge became even more angry and said:
What I see you saying since you entered the Judicial Council is nothing but falsehood
Ayas said
There is no god but God alone, with no partner
Is this true or false?
The judge calmed down and said
It is true and the Lord of the Kaaba is true
Al-Muzani’s boy was shackled to knowledge
He took from him what God wished for him to drink
Until he reached an amount
He made the elders submit to him
And they follow it
And they learn from him
Despite his young age
In the same year
Abdul Malik bin Marwan visited Basra
Before the caliphate follows
He saw Ayasa, who was a young boy at that time
He hasn't grown his mustache yet
Behind him he saw four bearded reciters
In their green robes
He is ahead of them
Abdul Malik said
Fuck those who have these beards
Among them is a sheikh who precedes them
So they presented this boy
Then he turned to Ayas and said
How old are you, boy?
Ayas said
Sunni, may God prolong the life of the Emir
Like the age of Osama bin Zaid
When the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, appointed him
An army containing Abu Bakr and Omar
Abdul Malik said to him
Go ahead, girl, go ahead, God bless you
And in the same year
People went out seeking the Ramadan crescent
And at their head is the great companion
Anas bin Malik Al Ansari
At that time, he was an old man, nearly a hundred
So people looked at the sky
They did not see anything
But Anas bin Malik
He made him stare at the sky and say
I saw the crescent moon
Here he is
He started pointing at him with his hand
No one saw him
Then Iyas looked at Anas, may God be pleased with him
Then he saw a long hair in his eyebrow
It was bent until it was facing his eye
Ask his permission politely
He extended his hand to the hair
So he wiped it and changed it
Then he told him
Do you see the crescent moon now too, O friend of the Messenger of God?
So Anas looked and said:
Nope what I see
News of Iyas' intelligence spread and spread
People began to come to him from all directions
They throw before them whatever problems they encounter in science and religion
Some of them want knowledge
Others seek impotence and practice falsehood
From this, it is narrated that Dehqana came to his meeting and said:
O Abu Waila, what do you say about intoxicants?
He said it is forbidden
He said: What is the reason for its prohibition?
It is nothing more than fruit and water boiling over the fire
All of this is permissible and there is nothing wrong with it
He said, “You have finished your statement, Dahqan.”
I still have something to say
He said, “Rather, I am done.”
He said: If I took a handful of water and hit you with it
Does it hurt you?
He said no
He said, “Even if I took a handful of dirt and hit you with it.”
Does it hurt you?
He said no
And he said
If I took a handful of straw and hit you with it, would it hurt you?
He said, “No.” So he said, “If I took the dirt, then threw the straw on it, and poured water over them, then mixed it just as well.”
Then I placed the block in the sun until it dried, then I hit you with it. Did it hurt you?
He said, “Yes, and you may kill me.” He said, “This is the case with wine.” When its parts were gathered and wine was forbidden, it was forbidden.
When Iyasun became a judge, situations appeared in him that indicated his extreme intelligence, his resourcefulness, and his exceptional ability to reveal The facts
From this, two men sued him, and one of them claimed that he had deposited money with his friend
When he asked him to do so, he denied it, so Ayyasni asked the defendant about the deposit, but he denied it and said, “If my friend has proof, let him bring it, otherwise he only has an oath against me.”
When Ayas feared that the man would eat the money with his right hand, he turned to the depositor and said to him, “Where did you deposit the money?”
He said, “In such and such a place.” He said, “What is there in that place?” He said, “A large tree under which we sat and ate food together from its fruit.”
When we were about to leave, I gave him the money, and Iyas said to him, “Go to the place where the tree is. Perhaps when you come to it, it will remind you where you put your money.”
I alerted you to what you did to him, then come back to me to tell me what you saw. The man went to the place and Ayas said to the defendant, “Sit down until your friend comes.”
So he sat down, then Ayas turned to the litigants with him and began to judge between them while watching the man from a secret side, until when he saw that he had calmed down and was reassured, he turned to him and hastened to say:
Do you think your friend has reached the place where he deposited the money with you? The man said without saying it, “No, he is far from here.” Iyas said to him, “O enemy, by God, you deny the money and know the place where you took it. By God, you are a fool.”
The man was astonished and confessed to his betrayal, so he imprisoned him until his friend came and ordered him to return his deposit to him. It was also narrated that two men disputed with him over two velvet items that are placed on the head and draped over the shoulders.
One of them was a new, expensive green one, and the other was a worn-out red one. The plaintiff said, “I went down to the basin to wash myself and placed the green velvet with my clothes on the edge of the basin. My opponent came and placed his red velvet next to mine and went down to the basin.”
He went out before me and put on his clothes and took my velvet and threw it on his head and shoulders and on it. So I went out after him and followed him and demanded my velvet and he claimed that it was his.
Iyas said to the man accused, “What do you say?” He said, “It is my velvet and it is in my hand.” Iyas said to the man who was accused, “Do you have any evidence of it?” He said, “No,” so he said to a pilgrim with it, “Bring me a comb, and I will bring him.”
So he combed the hair on the heads of the two men, and from the head of one of them came out red fluff from the wool of the velvet, and from the head of the other came out green fluff, so he ruled that the red velvet would be given to the one with the red fluff and the green velvet to the one with the green fluff.
Among the news of his acumen and intelligence is that there was a man in Kufa who showed people righteousness and showed them piety and piety to the point that he was praised a lot, and some people took him as their trustee, entrusting him with their money when they traveled and making him a guardian for their children when they felt that the end was approaching.
So a man came to him and deposited money with him. When the man needed his money, he asked for it from him, but he denied it. So he went to Ayas and the man complained to him. He said to the complainant, “Tell your friend that you want to come to me?” He said no
He said to him, “If he spends, come back to me tomorrow.” Then he sent Ayas to the trustworthy man and said to him, “I have accumulated a lot of money for orphans who do not have a guarantor, and I decided to deposit it with you and make you their guardian. Is your home secure and your time sufficient?”
He said, “Yes, Judge.” He said, “Come to me the day after tomorrow and prepare a place for the money and bring with you porters to carry it.” The next day, the man complaining came and Iyas said to him, “Go to your friend and ask him for the money.”
If he denies it, then tell him, “I will file my complaint with the judge.” The man came to him and asked him for his money, but he refused to give it to him and denied it. He said to him, “If I file my complaint with the judge.” When he heard that from him, he gave him the money and his heart was pleased.
So the man returned to Iyas and said, “My friend has given me my rights, and may God reward you well.” Then the trustworthy man came to Iyas at his appointed time, with the porters with him, and he rebuked him, defamed him, and said to him, “What a miserable man you are, O enemy of God. You have made religion a trap for the world.”
But Iyasa, despite his great intelligence, his strength of character, and his quick wit, may have encountered someone who would challenge him, argument for argument, and cut him off from the means of speech and slander him. He narrated on his own authority that he said, “No one has ever defeated me except one man.”
This is because I was in the judicial council in Basra, and a man came to me and testified for me that such-and-such orchard belonged to so-and-so and identified it for me. So I wanted to test his testimony, so I said to him, “How many trees are in the orchard?” so he knocked a little.
Then he raised his head and said, “How long has our master the judge been ruling in this council?” I said, “For so many years.” He said, “How many timbers are there in the roof of this council?” I did not know, and I said, “You are right.” Then I approved his testimony.
When Iyas bin Muawiyah reached seventy-six years of age, he saw himself and his father in a dream riding on two horses, so he ran together, but he did not precede his father, and his father did not precede him, and his father had died at the age of seventy-six years.
One night, Ayas went to bed and said to his family, “Do you know what night this is?” They said, “No.” He said, “On this night, my father completed his life.” When they woke up, they found him dead.
May God have mercy on Iyasa Al-Qadi, for he was a rarity of the times and a marvel of time in terms of acumen, intelligence, searching for the truth and reaching it.
Omar's courage in His Eminence Hatem in Ahnafah's dream in Iyasi Abu Tammam's intelligence
They left and raised a question in my mind: Is there a star like them in the sky and the hills?
They filled their lives with pride in their wealth, and the world of selfishness adorned them
