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
The cult of Ibn al-Sad
May God be pleased with him
My friends this time
Ansari Aqbi Badri
And these three deeds are sufficient for you
Or an attribute of exaltation and pride in this world
And evidence of God’s satisfaction and comfort in the afterlife
As for his father, he was called Al-Samit
As for his mother, she was called Qurrat al-Ayn
As for him, people used to call him Ibadah
Who among us Muslims does not know the worship of Ibn al-Samit
He is one of the righteous and pure people who sheltered and helped
He is one of the seventy-three who pledged allegiance to Aqaba
He is one of the Badrians to whom God Almighty appeared
He said, “Do whatever you want, for I have forgiven you.”
If you add to that
It is the fifth of five collections of the Qur’an during the era of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
I achieved my ultimate goal
It brought him to the finest wealth and the highest levels
Ubadah Ibn al-Samit spent his life as a mujahid, worshipper, and teacher
On the battlefields, he was a commanding lion
In the stillness of the night, he was seeking shelter
It was during times of peace
He teaches Muslims the Book of God
He gives them understanding of the religion of God
After God opened the lands of Damascus to the Muslims
They wanted to open minds and hearts
They also opened strongholds and fortresses
So the Emir of Damascus wrote to the Caliph of the Muslims, Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, saying:
Muslims in the Levant have increased
They needed someone to teach them the Qur’an
He makes them understand the religion of God
So, O Commander of the Faithful, I mean men who teach them
So he called Omar, may God be pleased with him
To mobilize the five who compiled the Qur’an during the time of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
They are Ubadah ibn al-Samit
And Moaz bin Jabal
And Ubayy bin Ka'b
And Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari
And Abu Darda
May God be pleased with them all
He rewarded them on behalf of the nation of Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, with the most generous reward
When they were in his hands
He told them that your brothers are from the Levant
They sought help from someone who taught them the Qur’an
He makes them understand what is permissible and what is forbidden
So help me, may God have mercy on you, with three of you
If you like, ask for contributions
They said: We would not have forgotten them, O Commander of the Faithful
Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari is a great sheikh
Ubayy ibn Ka'b is a sick man
And the three of us stayed
Omar, may God be pleased with him and them, directed them
To the lands of Damascus
Ubadah ibn al-Samit resided in Homs
Abu Darda stayed in Damascus
Moaz bin Jabal settled in Palestine
It was Ubadah ibn al-Samit
When the Messenger pledged allegiance, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
On the night of Aqaba
He pledged his allegiance to listen and obey
And to tell the truth wherever it is
And not to fear God if he is compatible
When he saw the prince of the Levant
Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan, may God be pleased with him
Unless he himself is comfortable with it
He reviewed what he saw and denounced it
Muawiyah did not accept his opinion
He called him to obey him
Ubadah got angry and said
By God, I will not live with you in the same land
He returned to the city
When he came to Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him
He said to him: How old are you, O Ubadah?
So he informed him of the dispute that had occurred between him and Muawiyah
He said, “Go back to your place.”
May God bless the land where there are neither you nor people like you
Then he wrote to Muawiyah saying:
You have no command over Ubadah ibn al-Samit
But he is the prince himself
Then Omar bin Al-Asim went to Egypt as a conqueror
It was subject to Roman rule
He began editing its blogs and readings
Until the Babylonian fortress eluded him
Located on the bank of the Nile
Near Cairo today
This was the reason why the fort was difficult to reach
The Romans dug a large trench around it
They fixed the roads leading to it with iron railings
To hinder men and horses from advancing towards him
They loaded him with soldiers and equipment
They transferred their statesmen to him
The great Copts are from the people of Egypt
Among them is Al-Muqawqis
Patriarch of Egypt and its ruler
Omar bin Al-Aas besieged the fort
Hoping that his father-in-law would be fed up with the siege
They surrender to him
However, the Nile soon emptied
The Romans blew up the dams and cut the bridges
The water surrounded the Muslims from all sides
They almost died by drowning
Then Omar bin Al-Aas wrote
To the Commander of the Faithful, Omar bin Al-Khattab
To help him with assistance from him
So Omar rushed to supply him
With four thousand Muslim soldiers
He appointed a leader over every thousand
He takes the place of Alif
They are Ubadah ibn al-Samit
And Al-Zubayr bin Al-Awwam
And Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad
And Muslima bin Mukhlid
Al-Muqawqis taught about mudad
Who reached the Muslim army
So he sent to Omar bin Al-Aas
A delegation of his best men
Let them exchange it
He commanded them to stand up for him
On the conditions of Muslims
And to convey an accurate picture of him
clear about their lives
As if he saw it himself
So the men of the delegation died
In the hospitality of Muslims for three nights
When they returned
Al-Muqawqis asked them
About what they saw and what they heard
And they said
We have seen people, by God
Death is more desirable to them than life
And more beloved to them than high status
They sit on the dirt
And eat them on the knees
Their prince as one of them
Their master does not know from their draft
Nor are the high among them the lowliest
If prayer is performed
None of them left behind
They wash their limbs and faces with water
They submit to their Lord in prayer
Al-Muqawqis said
By God, if these people were facing the mountains
They would have removed it
If they had attacked the jinn, they would have annihilated them
As if Al-Muqawqis wanted it
To see with his own eyes
What his men told him
So he wrote to Omar bin Al-Asi saying:
Send us messengers from your side
Let us negotiate with them and make a treaty with them
So he sent ten of his men to him
He ordered them to worship Ibn al-Samit
The cult of Ibn al-Samit was a tall man of great importance
Very thick hair
It fills the eye of its beholder with awe and magnificence
When Al-Muqawqis came forward
He has the greatest prestige
A great fear entered his soul
He said to the men of the delegation
Get away from this man
They brought someone else to talk to me
They said: This is our prince
Omar bin Al-Asi entrusted us with this
Not to get ahead of him
And not to disobey his order
Al-Muqawqis said to Ubada
Come to me, man
And he spoke to me gently
I fear your sight
He said to him, 'Ubadah
I see you scared me
What if I saw my friends?
Among them were a thousand men
They are all stronger and more powerful than me
Al-Muqawqis said to him
What brought you out of your homes?
And what do you want from us?
Ubadah bin Al-Samit said
By God, we did not go out
Except seeking the pleasure of God Almighty
Our Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, entrusted us with this
It should not be the desire of one of us in this world
Except what satisfies his hunger and covers his nakedness
Because the bliss of this world is not bliss
But the bliss is the bliss of the afterlife
Al-Muqawqis said to him
I heard you say
By my life, you have not reached what you have reached
Except what you mentioned
And you did not defeat those whom you defeated
Except for their love of the world
And your hatred for her
However, the Romans have gathered for you
Innumerable
And we know that you will not prevail against them
Because of your smallness and the distress of your hand
We indulge ourselves
That we give each man of you two dinars
And your prince has one hundred dinars
Your successor will receive a thousand dinars
And they turned away from us
Before something happens to you that you cannot bear
Ubadah bin Al-Samit said to him
Our fear of it was due to the large number of Romans
It does not deter us from our purpose
We are confident that we will win
With one of the two good ones
If we win you
The spoils of the world have been great for us
And if you defeat us
The spoils of the Hereafter are great for us
And know that there is not a single man among us
Except that he calls upon God after every prayer
To grant him martyrdom
And not to return him to his family disappointed
Each one was entrusted with it
From us, his family and children are with God
Then he presented it to Al-Muqawqis
Islam, tribute, or fighting
The people of Al-Muqawqis refused Islam
They refused to pay the tribute
All that remained was fighting
Then the Muslims decided to storm the fort
No matter how expensive it is
Then Zubair bin Al-Awwam stood up and said
I give myself to God Almighty
He took a high ladder to climb the wall of the fort
He asked the Muslim soldiers
To grow behind him with one voice
If they hear his takbeer
And it's only moments
Even he was a brave knight
He rides the walls of the fort
He is brandishing a sword
And the shout of God is great
It comes thundering from his mouth
Thousands of flocks set off after him
To hesitate, God is great
Its sound shook hearts and crushed resolve
Al-Zubayr threw himself inside the fort
A group of Muslim soldiers followed him
So put swords on the necks of the Romans
Who were stunned by the surprise
They opened the door of the fort in the faces of the Muslims
The Companions of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, flocked to him
At their head was Ubadah ibn al-Samit
A battle of lessons took place between the two teams
God has destined victory for his soldiers
It was included in the state of the Qur’an
The pearl of the world is Egypt
May God bless the earth
It does not include Ubadah ibn al-Samit and others like him
Omar bin Al-Khattab
With his company, the constructed edifice sank
Oh Shiar, help me praise them
Is there anyone who can help?
