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
Id al-Rahman Rafah al-Pasha
May God have mercy on him
Abu Darda, may God be pleased with him
Awaimer bin Malik Al-Khazraji rose
Al-Maknab Abu Darda woke up early
He went to his idol, which he placed in the most honorable place in his house
He revived it and filled it with the best perfume in his large store
Then he threw him a new dress of luxurious silk
It was given to him yesterday by one of the merchants coming from Yemen
And when the sun rose
Abu Darda left his house and headed to his store
Then the streets and roads of Yathrib became narrow with the followers of Muhammad
They are returning from Badr
In front of them were groups of captives from Quraish
So he visited them
But he soon met a young man from among them who belonged to the Khazraj
And I ask him about Abdullah bin Rawahah
Al-Fata Al-Khazraji said to him
He performed the most noble affliction in the battle
He returned safe and sound and was reassured
Al-Fataa was not surprised by Abu Darda’s question about Abdullah bin Rawahah
When everyone knew who the brotherhood that linked them was
This is because Abu Darda and Abdullah bin Rawahah
They were brothers in pre-Islamic times
When Islam came, Ibn Rawahah converted to it
Abu Darda turned away from him
But that did not sever the close ties between the two men
Abdullah bin Rawaha kept promising Abu Darda a visit
He invites him to Islam and encourages him to do so
He regrets every day of his life spent as a polytheist
Abu Darda arrived at his store
He sat on his high chair
And he bought and sold
He orders his servants and forbids them
He does not know anything about what is going on in his house
At that time
Abdullah bin Rawahah was going to the house of his friend Abu Darda
He decided to do something
When he reached the house
He saw his door open
He saw Umm al-Darda in his courtyard
He said, “Peace be upon you, O servant of God.”
She said: Peace be upon you, brother Abu Darda
He said, “Where is Abu Darda?”
She said he went to his store
And soon he will come back
He said: Do you permit me?
She said you're welcome
And I made way for him
She went to her room
She was busy repairing her home
And taking care of her children
Abdullah bin Rawahah entered the room where Abu Darda placed his idol
He took out a bag and brought it with him
And money on the idol
And he started interrupting it while saying
Except that everything that is claimed with God is false
When he finished cutting it, he left the house
Umm al-Darda entered the room where the idol was
She was shocked when she saw that he had turned into dust
His body parts were found scattered on the ground
She started stroking her cheek as she said
You destroyed me, Bin Rawahah
Only a little while passed
Until Abu Darda returned to his home
He saw his mirror standing at the door of the room in which the idol was
She is crying and sobbing
Signs of fear of him were visible on her face
He said: What is your business?
She said: Your brother, Abdullah bin Rawahah, came to us during your absence
And do to your idol what you see
He looked at the idol
He found it a wreck
He got angry
They wanted to avenge him
But it wasn't long before his anger subsided
His anger subsided
Think about what happened
Then he said
If there was good in this idol, he would protect himself from harm
Then he set off from Toh to Abdullah bin Rawahah
One day he went to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He announced his entry into the religion of God
He was the last person in his neighborhood to convert to Islam
Abu Dardaa believed from the first moment
By God and His Messenger
A faith that permeated every atom of his being
He greatly regretted the good he had missed
I realize deeply
What his companions preceded him in terms of jurisprudence of the religion of God
And memorize the Book of God
And worship and piety
Save them for themselves with God
He was determined to make up for what he missed with diligent effort
And to continue the fatigue of the night with the fatigue of the day
Until he catches up and gets ahead of him
So he went to worship as a celibate person
Iqbal Dhamman accepted knowledge
And devote yourself to the Book of God, preserving its blessings
The understanding of its verses is deepened
When he saw trade, the pleasure of worship became overwhelming for him
He misses the knowledge councils
He left her neither hesitant nor sorry
A questioner asked him about that
He replied: I was a merchant before my time
By the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
When I converted to Islam
I wanted to combine commerce and worship
It was not right for me to respond
So I left business and embraced worship
By the One in whose hand is Abu Darda’’s soul
I would love to have a shop today
At the door of the mosque
Do not miss prayer with the group
Then I buy and sell
I earn three hundred dinars every day
Then he looked at his questioner and said
I don't say
God Almighty forbids selling
But I like to be one of those who are not distracted
Trade or sale without mentioning God
Abu Darda did not just leave the trade
But he left the world
And turn away from its adornment and adornment
He contented himself with a rough, firm bite
A thick dress covers his body
A group came down there on a very cold night
Hard cold
So he sent them hot food
He did not send them any quilts
When they were about to sleep
They consulted about quilting
One of them said
I go to him and talk to him
Another said to him
Leave him
He refused
He went on until he stood at the door of his room
He saw that he had laid down
His wife was sitting close to him
There is nothing on her or him except a light dress
It does not protect against heat or cold
The man said to Abu Darda
Never see you except as we spend the night
Where is your luggage?
He told us to live there
We send to her successively all the belongings we obtain
Even if we had kept some of it in this house
We will send it to you
Then we are on our way to that house
An insurmountable obstacle
What is light is better than what is heavy
We wanted to lighten our burdens
We pass openly
Then he said to the man
I understand
And he said
Yes, I understand
And I rewarded well
During the succession of Al-Farouq, may God be pleased with him
He wanted Abu Darda to do a job for him in the Levant
He refused
So he insisted on it
And he said
If you are satisfied with me, I will go to them and teach them the Book of their Lord
And the Sunnah of their Prophet
I prayed for them and went
Omar forced him to do so
He went on to Damascus
When he reached it, he found that people were obsessed with luxury
And indulge in bliss
He was amazed by that
He invited people to the mosque
So they gathered around him
He stood among them and said
O people of Damascus!
You are brothers in religion
And the neighbors at home
And supporters against the enemies
O people of Damascus!
What prevents you from loving me?
And heed my advice
I don't want anything from you
My advice to you
And my provisions are on others
Why do I see your scholars go?
And your ignorant people do not learn
I see that you have accepted what God Almighty has guaranteed for you
You left what you were ordered to do
Why do I see you collecting what you do not eat?
And you build what you do not live in
And you hope for what you do not achieve
The peoples before you have gathered hope
It is only a few
Until their collection became empty
Their hope is arrogance
And their homes are graves
This is Aad, people of Damascus
The earth is filled with wealth and children
Whoever buys an estate from me will pay me two dirhams today
It made people cry
Until he heard their sobbing from outside the mosque
Since that day
Tafq Abu Al-Darda’i, the mother of people’s councils in Damascus
He roams their markets
The questioner answers
The ignorant knows
It alerts the heedless
Seizing every opportunity
Taking advantage of every occasion
Here he was, passing by a group
They gathered around a man
They started beating him and insulting him
So he approached them and said
What's up?
They said a man had committed a major sin
He said: What if he fell into a well?
Didn't you extract it from him?
They said yes
He said: Do not insult him or hit him
But his organ and his sight
Praise God who has saved you from falling into his sin
They said, “Shall we not hate him?”
He said, “I hate what he did.”
If he leaves him, he is my brother
The man began to weep and declare his repentance
This is a young man who approaches Abu Darda’
And he says
Advise me, O companion of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
And he says to him
My son
Remember God in good times
He reminds you in bad times
My son
Be a scholar or learner
Or listening
And do not be the fourth, lest you perish
That is, the ignorant
My son
Let the mosque be your home
For I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying
Mosques are the home of every pious person
God Almighty has guaranteed
For whom mosques were their homes
Spirit and compassion
Passing on the path to the pleasure of God Almighty
These are a group of young men
They sat on the road talking and looking at passersby
He approaches them and says
My son
The Muslim man's hermitage is his home
It suffices him and his sight
And beware of sitting in the markets
It distracts and cancels
During Abu Darda's stay in Damascus
He sent his governor, Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan, to him
He proposes his daughter Al-Darda' to his son Yazid
He refused to deny his ignorance
He gave it to a young man from ordinary Muslims
He was satisfied with his religion and character
This spread among the people
And they started saying
Speeches of Yazid bin Muawiyah
Daughter of Abu Darda
Her father replied
She married her to a common Muslim man
A questioner asked him about the reason for that
He said, “I just investigated what I did.”
Salah ordered the darda
He said, "How?"
He said: What do you think of Al-Darda?
If slaves stand before her, they will serve her
She found herself in palaces
Its brilliance catches the eye
Where will her religion be on that day?
During Abu Darda’’s presence in the Levant
The Commander of the Faithful, Omar bin Al-Khattab, came to them
Checking on her condition
He visited his friend Abu Darda at his house one night
He pushed the door and found it was not closed
He entered a dark house with no light
When Abu Dardaa heard it, he felt it
He got up and welcomed him and made him sit
The two men started negotiating conversations
Darkness hides each of them from the eyes of its owner
Omar felt Asad Abu Darda
Then he broke it
Any clothing thrown on the back of a beast
He felt a butterfly and found it was pebbles
He felt the cover and found it was a thin cover
He does nothing in the cold of Damascus
He said to him, may God have mercy on you
Did I not enlarge upon you? Did I not send to you?
Abu Dardaa said to him
Omar, I remember a conversation we had
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He said what is it?
He said: Didn't he say let one of you report?
From the world like a rider's provision
He said yes he said
So what did we do after that, Omar?
Omar cried and Abu Darda cried
They still responded by crying
Until morning came upon them
Abu Darda remained in Damascus
He comforts its people and remembers them
He teaches them the Book and wisdom
Until certainty came to him
When he became deathly ill, his companions entered upon him
They said, “Don’t complain.”
My sins
They said: Whatever you desire
He said: Forgive me, my Lord
Then he said to those around him
They taught me that there is no god but God
Muhammad is the Messenger of God
He continued to repeat it until he died
When Abu Al-Darda' joined his Lord
Awf bin Malik Al-Ashja’i saw
Spacious and rich in amenities
There is a great dome of Adam in it
Around her was a boy crouching
The eye has never seen anything like it
He said to whom is this?
He was told to Abdul Rahman bin Awf
Abdul Rahman came to see him from the dome
Ibn Malik told him
This is what God Almighty gave us
Even if you overlook this fold
You would have seen what your eyes did not see
And you heard what your ear did not hear
And you found something that never occurred to your heart
Ibn Malik said
And to whom is all this, Abu Muhammad?
He said, “God Almighty prepared it for Abu Darda.”
Because he was defending the world from him
With the palms and chest
Abdul Rahman bin Awf
