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
Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith, may God be pleased with him
He said that the reasons were contacted between two people
The bond between two people became tight
There was also contact and closeness between Muhammad bin Abdullah, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
And between Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith
Abu Sufyan was an apostate from the fathers of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He grew up from his peers
It was mentioned at a close time
He grew up in the same family
He was a cousin of Nabi Al-Lasiq
His father is Al-Harith and Abdullah, and the Messenger’s family, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
Two brothers descended from Abdul Muttalib
Moreover, breastfeeding was more important to the Prophet
Mrs. Halima Al-Saadia fed them both from her breast
And it was all after that
A close friend of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, before his prophethood
And the people most resemble him
Have you seen or heard a closer relative?
Or stronger ties than this between Muhammad bin Abdullah and Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith
Therefore, those who suspected Abu Sufyan
To be the first among people to respond to the call of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
They were the quickest to follow him
But the matter was contrary to what the forecasters expected
As soon as the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, announced his call
He warns his clan
Until the fire of grudge burned within Abu Sufyan’s soul against the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
Friendship turned into enmity
And the womb is cut off
And the brothers are repelled and turned away
Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith was on the day the Messenger was announced by the command of his Lord
One of the most alert knights of Quraysh, a male
And one of the most influential poets
So he put his teeth and tongue into fighting the Messenger and opposing his call
He mobilized all his energies to spite Islam and Muslims
The Quraysh did not wage war against the Prophet
Except it was priced
I did not harm the Muslims then
But he had a big share in it
Abu Sufyan awakened the devil of his poetry
And he released his tongue about it, and the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, came
He said disgusting, obscene and painful words
Abu Sufyan’s hostility to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, continued
Until nearly twenty years ago
During this period, he did not leave any form of malicious intent against the Messenger except what he did
There is no kind of harm to Muslims
Unless an epidemic ravages him due to his sin
Shortly before the conquest of Mecca
He wrote to Abu Sufyan to accept Islam
His conversion to Islam had an interesting story
It was mentioned in biographical books and transmitted in the books of history
Let us leave it to the man himself to talk about the story of his conversion to Islam
His feeling for her is deeper
His description of it is more accurate and true
He said when the affairs of Islam were established and established
News spread that the Messenger was heading to Mecca to conquer it
The earth narrowed down to what it welcomed
And I said where to go
Who am I friends with and who am I with?
Then I came to my wife and children and said
They prepared to leave Mecca
Muhammad was about to arrive
I will certainly be killed if the Muslims catch me
They told me
Isn't it time for you to see that Arabs and non-Arabs...
She paid obedience to Muhammad
And he converted to religion
And you still insist on being hostile to him
I was the first person to support and support him
They still encourage me to adhere to the religion of Muhammad
And they want me to
Until God opened my heart to Islam
I just got up
And I said to my boy, “Madhkur.”
Prepare for us a thorn and a shield
I took with my son Jathara
And we started walking towards the doors
Between Mecca and Medina
I have heard that Muhammad revealed it
When I approached her
I disguised myself so that no one would know me
So I will be killed before I reach the Prophet
He declared my conversion to Islam in front of him
I walked on foot for about a mile
The vanguard of the Muslims goes on a journey
He divided Mecca, group after group
So I used to move it away from them as a group of them
For fear that no one would know me
From the companions of Muhammad
And so am I
When the Messenger appeared in his procession
So I confronted him and stood there
I felt sad about my face
As soon as he filled his eyes with me and recognized me
Until he turns away from me to the other side
She turned towards his face
He turned away from me and turned his face away
She turned towards his face
Until he did it repeatedly
I had no doubt as I was approaching the Prophet
That the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He will be happy with my conversion to Islam
And his friends will rejoice at his joy
But when Muslims saw...
The turning away of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
They frowned at me
And they all turned away from me
Abu Bakr met me
So turn away from me with the utmost aversion
I looked at Omar bin Al-Khattab
A look that touched his heart
I found him to be more disabled than his owner
In fact, one of the Ansar tempted me
Al-Ansari said to me
O enemy of God!
You are the one who was harming the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
And hurt his friends
She reached the point of enmity against the Prophet
The east and west of the earth
Al-Ansari continued to criticize me and raise his voice
And the Muslims invade me with their eyes
And they are pleased with what I find
At that
I saw my uncle Abbas
So I enjoyed it
And I said, uncle
I had hoped that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, would be happy
I converted to Islam because of my closeness to him
And my honor is among my people
What he learned was from him
So he spoke to me to be satisfied with me
He said, “No, by God.”
I never speak a word to him
After what you saw of his turning away from you
Unless an opportunity arises
I respect the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and I respect him
So I said, uncle
To whom do you entrust me then?
And he said
I have nothing for you other than what I heard
I was overcome by worry and sadness
It wasn't long before I saw my cousin
Ali Ibn Abi Talib
So I spoke to him about my matter
He told me something similar to what our uncle Abbas said
At that
I returned to my uncle Abbas and said, “Uncle.”
If you cannot sympathize with the heart of the Messenger
So stop me from that man who insults me and tempts people to insult me
And he said
Describe it to me
So I described it to him
And he said
That is Nuaiman bin Al-Harith Al-Najjari
He reached him and told him
Oh Naiman
Abu Sufyan
Cousin of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Even if he is the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
I am angry with him today
He will be satisfied with him one day
So stop it
And he continued with it until he agreed to desist from me
And he said
I won't show him after an hour
When the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, descended on Al-Juhfa
I sat at his door
And with my son Jaafar standing
When he saw me while he was leaving his house
He turned his face away from me
No name could satisfy him
Whenever I entered a house, I made myself sit at its door
And I will make my son Ja'far stand by me
Whenever he saw me, he would turn away from me
I stayed like that for a while
When the matter became difficult and distressing,
I told my wife
And God would be pleased that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, narrated from me
Or I will take this son of mine into my hand
Then let us go sleepless on our faces on the ground
Until we die of hunger and thirst
When this reached the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Send me a message
And when he came out of his dome
He looked at me as I was at first sight
I was hoping he would smile
Then the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, entered Mecca
So I got into his stirrups
He went out to the mosque
So I went out and ran in front of him, never leaving him
And when it was the day of Hunayn
The Arabs gathered to fight the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
What you never collected
She prepared to meet him as she had never prepared before
She was determined to make her the judge of Islam and Muslims
The Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, left
To meet them in a crowd of his companions
So I went out with him
And when I saw the large crowds of polytheists
I said, “By God, we will disbelieve today.”
For all my past hostility to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
And the Prophet will show us what I have done that pleases and pleases God
And when the two groups met
The pressure of the polytheists on Muslims intensified
Weakness and failure crept within them
And he made people disperse from the Prophet
We were almost defeated
Then the Messenger came, ransomed for my father and mother
He stands firm in the heart of the battle on his grey-haired mule
As if it were a firm foundation
He strips his sword
He distances himself from himself and from those around him as if he were an ordinary lion
At that
And I jumped off my horse
And I broke the sheath of my sword
God knows that I want to die without the Messenger of God
My uncle Abbas took the reins of the Prophet’s mule
And he stood next to him
I took my place on the other side
And in my right hand is my sword, with which I defend myself from the Messenger of God
As for Shamali, she was holding his stirrups
When the Prophet looked at my good affliction
He said to Uncle Abbas who is this?
He said: This is your brother and your cousin
Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith
It was imposed on him, meaning the Messenger of God
He said, “I have done it.”
May God forgive him for all the hostility he has shown him
My heart was filled with joy that the Messenger of God was pleased with me
I kissed his leg in the stirrup
Then he turned to me and said
My brother, by my age, came forward and struck
The words of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, inflamed my enthusiasm
So a campaign was launched against the polytheists that removed them from their places
He carried on with the Muslims until we expelled them by as much as a league
We divided them in every way
Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith remained since Hunayn
He enjoys the beauty of the Prophet’s satisfaction with him
He is happy with generous company
But he never looked up at him
He did not fix his gaze on his face due to his shyness
Ashamed of his past with him
It made Abu Sufyan bite his teeth with regret
On the dark days he spent in pre-Islamic times, veiled from the light of God
Deprived of his book
He devoted himself to the Qur’an day and night, reciting its verses
He agrees with his rulings and is filled with his principles
And turn away from the world and its flowers
And I turn to God with all my wounds
Even the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, once saw him entering the mosque
He said to Aisha, may God be pleased with her
Do you know who this is, Aisha?
She said: No, Messenger of God
He said that he was my cousin, Abu Sufyan Ibn Al-Harith
Look, he's the first one to enter the mosque
And the last one to leave it
His sight does not leave the straps of his sandals
When the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, joined the Supreme Comrade
Abu Sufyan Ibn Al-Harith grieved for him like a mother grieves for her only child
And he cried as the lover cried over his beloved
They mourned him with a poem from the graveyard of inheritance
Overflowing with grief and grief
And the heartbreak and moaning melt away
During the caliphate of Al-Farouq, may God be pleased with him
Abu Sufyan felt that his death was approaching
So he dug his own grave with his own hands
Only three days had passed since then
Until his death
As if death is on the verge of death
He turned to his wife, children, and family
He said, "Don't cry for me."
By God, I have not committed a sin since I converted to Islam
Then his pure soul overflowed
Al-Farouq, may God be pleased with him, prayed for him
He was saddened by the loss of him and his honorable companions
They considered his death a sign that great calamity had befallen Islam and its people
Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith, the master of the youth of Paradise
Muhammad is the Messenger of God
