Pictures from the lives of the followers

May God have mercy on him
Saeed bin Al-Masir
May God have mercy on him
The Commander of the Faithful, Abdul Malik bin Marwan, decided to perform Hajj to the Sacred House of God
And a visit to the second of the Two Holy Mosques
Peace be upon the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
When the month of Dhul-Qa'dah approached
The great kharifa clenched his stirrups
He headed to the land of Hijaz
He is accompanied by the eminent gentlemen of the Umayyad princes
A group of his senior statesmen and some of his children
The caravan continued on its way from Damascus to Medina
Without heir or haste
Whenever they settled in a house, tents were set up for them
And I furnished them with mattresses
Knowledge and memorial councils were held for them
To increase their understanding of religion
They pledge their hearts and souls
With wisdom and good preaching
When the Caliph reached Medina
As for its sacred sanctuary
And peace be upon its resident, Muhammad Ali
The best prayer and the purest delivery
He was happy to pray in the pure and beautiful Rawdah
He tasted the coolness of comfort and peace of mind
He had never tasted anything like them before
He decided to end his stay in the city of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
He found no way to do so
He was most interested in Medina
Circles of knowledge that covered the Prophet’s Mosque
The most distinguished scholars among the senior followers shine there
As the stars shine in the sky
This is the episode of Urwa bin Al-Zubayr
This is the episode of Saeed bin Al-Musayyab
There is the episode of Abdullah bin Utba
One day, the Caliph woke up from his nap at a time when he usually did not sleep
He called his usher and said
He said, “Maysarah.”
He said, “At your command, O Commander of the Faithful.”
He said, “Go to the Prophet’s Mosque, peace and blessings be upon him.”
Invite one of the scholars to speak to us
Maysarah went to the Prophet’s Mosque
He looked at it
He only saw one episode
It was mediated by a noble sheikh, over sixty years old
It has the simplicity of scientists
Hence their prestige and dignity
He stopped not far from the ring
He pointed to the sheikh with his finger
The sheikh did not turn to him and did not care about him
He approached him and said
Did you not see that I am referring to you?
He said to me
He said yes
He said, “What do you need?”
He said: The Commander of the Faithful woke up and said:
He said go to the mosque and see
Do you see anyone from my youth, bring him to me?
The sheikh said to him
I am not new
Maysarah said to him
But he wants someone to talk to him about
The Sheikh said
Whoever wants something will come to him
There is enough room for it in the mosque
If he is willing to do so
And the conversation comes to him
But he doesn't come
Then the chamberlain turned back
He said to the Caliph
I found nothing in the mosque other than a sheikh
I pointed at him but he did not get up
So I approached him and said
The Commander of the Faithful woke up at this time
He told me
Look, do you see any of my youth in the mosque?
So leave him for me
He said to me calmly and firmly
I am not new to it
There is enough room for it in the mosque
If he wants to talk
Abdul Malik bin Marwan sighed
He stood still
And he headed inside the house
And he says
That is Saeed bin Al-Musayyab
I wish you had not come and spoken to him
When he moved away from the council
And he was inside
Abdul Malik's youngest son turned around
And he said
Who is this that refrains from the Commander of the Faithful?
He is arrogant to appear before him
And attend his council
The world has come to him
The Roman kings were subject to his prestige
The older brother said
The one who proposed to the Commander of the Faithful
His daughter is for your newborn brother
He refused to marry her to him
The younger brother said
He refused to marry her to Al-Waleed bin Abdul-Malik
Did he want a higher husband for her?
From the Crown Prince of the Commander of the Faithful
And the Caliph of the Muslims after him
The older brother remained silent
He did not answer him anything
The younger brother said
If he had a sexual intercourse with his daughter
On the Crown Prince of the Commander of the Faithful
Did he find enough for her?
Which suits her
Or did he prevent her from getting married?
As some people do
And he left her sitting at home
His older brother said to him
The truth is that I don't know anything about her
And his experience with her
One of the sitters turned to them
From the city's people
He said: If the prince gives me permission
She told him all the news
She married one of the boys in our neighborhood
He is called Abu Wadaa
He is our neighbor house by house
His marriage to her has a funny story
He told it to me himself
The brothers said to him
Give her
The man said
Abu Wadaa told me
He said I was you know
I stay at the mosque of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
In pursuit of knowledge
Stay tuned to Saeed bin Al-Musayyab’s circle
And people crowded around it on horseback
So I was absent from the Sheikh’s circle for days
He checked on me and thought I was sick
Or show me a viewer
He asked those around him about me
He found no news from any of them
When I returned to him a few days later
He greeted me and welcomed me
Where have you been, Abu Wadaa?
So I said
My wife died, so I worked on her behalf
And he said
Did you not tell us, Abu Wadaa?
We console you
We will witness her funeral with you
We help you in whatever you are in
I said, may God reward you
And I wanted to get up
He kept me going until everyone in the council had left
Then he told me
Have you not thought about getting a wife for yourself, Abu Wadaa?
I said, may God have mercy on you
Whoever marries his daughter to me
I am a young man who grew up as an orphan
And he lived poor
I only have two or three dirhams
And he said
I will marry you, my daughter
So I held my tongue and said
You
Marry me your daughter
After I found out what I knew about my situation
And he said yes
If someone comes to us whose religion and character we are satisfied with, we marry him
We consider you satisfactory in religion and morals
Then he turned to whoever was close to us
And he called them
When they came to him and were with him
He praised and praised God Almighty
Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
He held me to his daughter
He made her dowry two dirhams
I stood up, not knowing what to say out of surprise and joy
Then I went to my house
I was fasting that day
So I forgot my fast and started saying:
Woe to you, O father!
What did you make yourself?
Who do you borrow from?
From whom you ask for money
I remained in this state until permission to leave for Morocco
So I did what was written
And I sat down to my breakfast
It was bread and oil
As soon as I took a bite or two of it
Until I heard the door knocking
So I said: Who is Al-Tariq?
Saeed said
By God, every person has crossed my mind
Nesma Saeed I know
Except Saeed bin Al-Musayyab
That's because he hasn't been seen for forty years
Except between his house and the mosque
So I opened the door
Then I found myself in front of Saeed bin Al-Musayyab
So I thought it seemed to him
There is something about my marriage to his daughter
And I told him
Abu Muhammad
Did you not send it to me and I will come to you?
And he said
Rather, you are more deserving of me coming to you today
So I said, “Be kind to me.”
He said no
But I came for an order
So I said
And what is it, may God have mercy on you
And he said
My daughter has become your wife, according to God’s law, from tomorrow
I know that there is no one with you
He comforts you
I hated for you to spend the night in a place
And your wife is somewhere else
So I brought it to you
So I said, Woe to you!
You brought it to me
And he said yes
I looked and saw that it was standing tall
He turned to her and said
Enter your husband’s house, my daughter, in the name and blessing of God
When she wanted to step
She stumbled in the emptiness of life
Until she almost fell to the ground
As for me
I stood in front of her, stunned, not knowing what to say
Then I hastened and preceded her to the bowl containing the bread and oil
So I removed it from the light of the lamp so that you would not see it
Then I went up to the roof and called the neighbors
They approached me and said:
What's your business?
So I said
Saeed bin Al-Musayyab held a marriage contract with his daughter today in the mosque
He brought it to me now by surprise
So come, forget it until I call my mother
She is far from home
An old woman among them said
Woe to you, do you know what you're saying?
I will marry you to Saeed bin Al-Musayyab, his daughter
And he carried it home for you himself
He was the one who had a grudge against Al-Walid bin Abdul-Malik
So I said yes
And here I have it in my house
So come and see it
So the neighbors went to the house
They hardly believe me
They welcomed her and forgot her loneliness
It was only a little while ago that my mother came
When she saw her
She turned to me and said
My face is forbidden from your face
If you don't leave her to me so I can fix her situation
Then I will carry her to you just as a man who casts women offers you
So I said you and what you want
So I held her there for three days
Then she married her off to me
So, she was one of the most beautiful women in the city
And people memorize the Book of God Almighty
They narrated them based on the hadith of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
I know people about the rights of a husband
So I stayed with her for days without her father or any of her family visiting me
Then I came to the sheikh’s circle in the mosque
So I greeted him, and he returned my greetings
He didn't talk to me
When the council adjourned and no one remained except me, he said:
How is your wife, Abu Wadaa?
So I said
It is what a friend loves and an enemy hates
He said, “Praise be to God.”
When I returned to my house
I found that he had sent us a large sum of money
Let us use it in our lives
Ibn Abdul Malik said:
This man is strange
A man from the city said to him
What is surprising about this, O Prince?
He is a person who made his life a vehicle for the afterlife
He bought the remainder for himself and his family in exchange for the lost money
By God, he did not grieve the son of the Commander of the Faithful towards his daughter
Nor did he see her as incompetent
But he feared the temptation of this world for her
Some of his companions asked him and he said:
I hesitate to deliver the sermon of the Commander of the Faithful
And marry your daughter to a common Muslim man
He said that my daughter is a trust in my possession
I investigated what I did for her and her well-being
He was told how
He said: What do you think of it if it moves to the palaces of the Umayyads?
She moved between her feathers and her furniture
The servants, the courtiers, and the maids stood before her
And to its right and to its left
Then she found herself the wife of the Caliph
Where will her religion be on that day?
A man from the Levant said
Your friend seems to be a unique type of person
The civilian man said
By God, I have never violated the truth
It is fasting during the day and staying strong at night
A Hajj of about forty Hajj
He did not miss the first takbir in the Prophet’s Mosque, peace and blessings be upon him, for forty years
He was not known to have ever looked at a man’s back while praying during that time
For maintaining first grade
He was able to marry any of the Quraysh women he wanted
He preferred the daughter of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, over all other women
This is due to his status with the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
His narration expanded on his speech
And the intensity of his desire to take it from him
He devoted himself to science from an early age
So he entered upon the wives of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
And he was influenced by them
He studied at the hands of Zaid bin Thabit
And Abdullah bin Abbas
And Abdullah bin Omar
He heard from Othman, Ali and Suhaib
And other companions of the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
And be creative with their morals and be beautiful with their good deeds
He always had a word he used to say
Until it became his slogan
Which is what he said
The servants did not honor themselves with such obedience to God
Nor did she insult herself by disobeying them
Saeed bin Al-Musayyab used to issue fatwas and the Companions are living historians
Pause and example
He followed the Messenger if he sought or said
They were here watering the clouds of our lives
We cannot mention them with exaltation
They left and asked me a question
Is there a star like them in the sky and its hills?
They filled their lives with pride in their actions
And the world of selfishness has become apparent to them
