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
Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, may God be pleased with him
He sent it to the leader of the Quraish, Abdul Muttalib bin Hashim
That there is a woman with brains and beauty
One of the daughters of the Rabia kings is called Natilah
So he sought it out, proposed it to himself, and built it
She gave birth to him a handsome, handsome child
This is what I look like
He was very happy with him, then Al-Abbas called him
Only two years had passed since the sheikh of Mecca was happy
So that his home could be filled with joy again
It was given to his son Abdullah
A child who rivals Abbas in the radiance of his face and the splendor of his appearance
When he saw him, his eyes filled with tears
He wished his father was alive
To share his joy in him, then he called him Muhammad
Muhammad and Abbas grew up under the care of Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim
They only know that they are brothers
They have lunch together and go together
And they eat from one bowl
They play on the same field
When Abbas was ten years old
His father, Abdul Muttalib, died
The whole of Mecca was saddened by him
Its people were alarmed at him
But the two boys, Al-Abbas and Muhammad
People were most worried about him
Because they tasted orphanhood by losing him
When the assigned positions were divided
Abdul Muttalib on his sons
Quraysh gave it to his son Abbas
Watering Hajj despite his young age
That's what they called him
There is salvation in it
What they expect is sovereign
And the boys of Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib grew up
And Muhammad bin Abdullah grows
So, they are two young men, full of youth
If the age difference between them disappears
Even those who looked at them thought they were twins
Someone once asked Al-Abbas after he converted to Islam
Are you the greatest mother of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace?
He said he is older than me
But I am more than two years old
And over forty years old
God Almighty honored Muhammad bin Abdullah with the message
And sent him with the religion of guidance and truth
He ordered him to warn his closest relatives
And who is closer to him than Abbas?
He is his favorite soil and intimate friend
And his uncle is his father's brother
But Al-Abbas inherited sovereignty over his people from his father
He was entrusted with providing water to the pilgrim
It is a position for which competitors compete
He hated to disguise himself as his people
He is keen to maintain his leadership over them
He did not respond to the call of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
However, he continued to bring Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, down on his own
The status of a brother compared to his brother
And intimate from intimate
He protects him from harm
He must be very careful
From this, when he met the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
With the influence of the Ansar on the night of Aqaba
His uncle Abbas was with him
He is still in polytheism
Al-Abbas was the first to speak and said:
O people of Khazraj!
Muhammad is one of us, as you have learned
We banned it from our people
Who is like our opinion of him
He is in honor of his people and invincible in his country
He has refused to side with you and join you
If you think that you are fulfilling what you called him to do
You and what you endured
Even if you see that you surrendered him and abandoned him after he came out to you
From now on, call him
For he is in glory and protection from his people and his country
The Ansar said
We heard what you said, Abul-Fadl
Then they turned to the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, and said
O Messenger of God
Take for yourself and your Lord whatever pledge of allegiance you like
And when the pledge of allegiance was completed
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, returned with his uncle Abbas to Mecca under the cover of darkness
When the Quraish decided to launch the Battle of Badr
Al-Abbas hated to join her in fighting his nephew
But his leadership among his people forced him to participate in this as a burden
And she made him one of the twelve men
Who took care of feeding the army of polytheists during the invasion
But the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
He did not forget his uncle Abbas for his support and support
He said to his friends
Whoever meets Abel Bakhtari bin Hisham should not kill him
Whoever meets Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib should not kill him
They left under duress
And when God decreed for His Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, victory at Badr
And some of the polytheists were killed
Some of them were captured
Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib was among the captives who fell into the hands of Muslims
The one who captured him was a small man with a weak build
He is called Abu Al-Yusr
As for Al-Abbas, he was huge and tall, like a leafy camel
When Abbas returned to Mecca, his children were amazed at his captivity
So ask him, saying:
Oh our father, how did Abu Al-Yusr capture you?
And if you wanted, you could put it in the sleeve of your shirt
He said, “By God, my son, when he jumped on me, he was greater than an elephant in my eyes.”
And when he grabbed my arm with his small, veiny palm
I thought blood was about to drip from my fingernails
Then he twisted my hand and put it behind my back
Then he took the other one and joined her to her sister
He tied them with a rope
I am protected and do not prevent myself from it or resist it
Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib spent his first night in the prisoner camp
Close to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He made a deep, continuous moan
When his groaning reached the ears of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he became restless
A look of sadness appeared on his face
His companions told him
And whatever saddens you, O Messenger of God, we have made that happen
Then Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib groaned
When a Muslim man stood up to him
He found that his chains had severely tightened on him
So he gave him a break and he remained silent
His silence raised the fears of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
He said: What is the matter with me that I do not hear Al-Abbas moaning?
The man said: I loosened his chain
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said
He did the same to all the captives
Then the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
Make a ransom from captivity
When his uncle was brought to him
He made Abbas apologize to him that he had no money
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said
Where is the money you put with your wife, Umm al-Fadl?
I told her that if I got it right, then I get the credit
And Abdullah is such and such
Ubaidullah is like this
Al-Abbas was astonished because this was something that no one had ever seen except God
And on a Sunday
Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib refused to go out with the polytheists
To fight the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
He sent a message informing him of the intention of the Quraysh to go out to him
This had a great impact on the preparedness of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his companions
And prepare to meet the enemy
Twenty years have passed since the call of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
And his uncle Abbas is still polytheist
One day, Al-Abbas sat with his wife, Umm Al-Fadl
They enumerate the honorable virtues of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
They mention his noble qualities
They recall the story of his knowledge of the money he deposited with her
In salvation from all people
He soon found himself saying to his husband:
What's wrong with us, Umm al-Fadl?
What is ours that we do not recognize?
Umm al-Fadl was amazed at his words and became excited
As if she was waiting for him to say that
And in a few hours
Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib had prepared two camels for him and his wife
He went on towards the city
Immigrants to God and His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
When Al-Abbas and his wife reached Al-Juhfa
They were surprised by the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
He leads a large army to conquer Mecca
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was also surprised by them
It was an unexpected meeting
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, hastened to say to his uncle
What can I bring you, uncle?
He said: Desire for God and His Messenger
He and his wife declared the word of truth
He entered the religion of God after a long period of reluctance
As soon as the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, heard
His uncle bears witness that there is no god but God
And that Muhammad is the Messenger of God
Until tears of joy flooded from his eyes and he said
I left you, uncle, the last migration
Also, my prophecy is the last prophecy
From that moment on, Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib was determined
To make up for the goodness and reward he missed
So he humbled himself and what he had in obedience to God
And the satisfaction of His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
On the day of Hunayn, the Muslims were defeated
They abandoned the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He stood beside him with the stance of a mighty lion
He drew the sword with his right hand
He held the reins of the mule of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, with his left hand
He continued to defend it with a small number of his companions
Until God wrote victory on their hands
And the day the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, decided
To enforce the army of hardship, he called on its companions to give and give
Al-Abbas came to him and poured money into his hands
When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, joined the supreme companion
The matter fell to his successors, Abu Bakr and Omar, may God be pleased with them
Al-Abbas remained their best counselor and supporter
They continued to honor and venerate him
In recognition of his grace and loyalty to the Prophet, may the best blessings and peace be upon him
From this, when the drought became severe for Muslims in the year of Ramadan
The udder dried up and the seed withered
The sky became as if it was built of copper
Omar bin Al-Khattab went out with the Muslims
So he asked for water for them, but they did not receive water
He repeated this several times, but he did not respond to them
He said to a group of his friends
We will draw water tomorrow with whomever God wills
When morning came, Madair Al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib
He had become a great old man and he said to him
Uncle, come out with us, perhaps God will give us water at your hands
Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib came out among the Muslim masses
Humbled, submissive, and disobedient to God
In front of him was Ali bin Abi Talib
On his right is Hassan and on his left is Hussein
Behind him are the masses of Muslims
They prayed two rak'ahs
Then Omar took my hand, the uncle of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
His tears wet his beard and he said
Pray for us, uncle of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Al-Abbas raised his hands to the sky
His eyes overflowed with fear of God
He began to cry out to God with righteous supplication and sincere hope
And the people came running behind him, crying and wailing
His supplication was hardly completed
Until the atmosphere was covered with dark clouds
The sky sent abundant rain on the earth
May God remove the grief from Muslims
And their anguish was revealed
People were given water at the hands of pilgrims
May God be pleased with him and please him
This is Abbas bin Abdul Mutalib
The finest Quraish enough
And give her mercy
Muhammad bin Abdullah
With Muhammad and his companions
The edifice was built by Goths
O Sheyar, help me better
In their praise, did they help me?
