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
Salib, the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfah, may God be pleased with him
I think Thabitah is a girl whose servant will be rewarded unharmed
On that day, he was approaching the dream
She was encouraged to free him because of the gentleness of virtue she saw in him
And the nobility of qualities and verses of purity
And the signs of goodness and righteousness that you glimpse in his behavior
So he felt sorry for her young husband, Abu Hudhayfah bin Utbah
One of the secrets of Bani Abd Shams
Salem was discharged at such a young age
And to entrust his affairs to himself
So he took him by the hand and led him to the sanctuary
He stood up in the crowd of Quraysh scattered around the Kaaba and said:
Bear witness, O people of Quraysh
I have adopted this safely
After I thought it was my wife fixed it
And he became to me what he was to my son from his father
Quraysh said
Yes, I did not do anything to Ibn Utbah
Since that day
The fatta became called Salem Ibn Abi Hudhayfah
Until a ray of divine light emanated from the Batha of Mecca
God sent His Prophet with the religion of guidance and truth
It was Abu Hudhayfah and his son Salem
One of the first whose souls were illuminated by this divine light
Their hearts were enlightened by his light
So the father and his son went to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He declared their conversion to Islam in front of him
They bore witness together that there is no god but God alone, with no partner
And Muhammad is his servant and the seal of his messengers
Only a short time had passed since Abu Hudhayfah and his son Salem entered the religion of God
Until Islam abolished the method of adoption
He ordered the people to return the children to their fathers
To preserve lineages
And abandoning one of the paths of ignorance
The words of God Almighty were revealed regarding adoptees
I call them to their parents
So the Muslims responded to the command of their Lord
They went looking for the genealogies of those they adopted
They recognize their fathers and return them to them
But Abu Hudhayfah did not find Salim's father
Despite much research and exploration
This is because Salem is a small captive
And brought to Mecca
And sold in the slave market
He is at an age where he is unable to know a father or mother for himself
People called him Salem Mawla Abu Hudhayfah
He remained aware of this as long as life extended
However, the relationship between Abu Hudhayfah and Salem
It was not a mula-mala relationship
Rather, it is a brother-to-brother relationship
After Islam united their hearts
And faith broke between them
Their hearts were filled with love for God and His Messenger
Abu Hudhayfah wanted to make his connection with Salem more solid and deep
And to eliminate every trace of pre-Islamic fanaticism that Islam exterminated
So he married Salim to his brother’s daughter, Al-Quraysh Al-Abashmiya
The same lineage and lineage
He became his brother in God and one of his relatives
It wasn't that long ago
Until serious events separated the two brothers
From which the early Muslims suffered what they suffered
And they suffered from its cruelty as much as they did
Abu Hudhayfah went to Abyssinia, migrating to God with his religion and faith
He fled from his faith whoever tasted feathers
As for Salem
He preferred to remain in Mecca with the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
And to lean on the Book of God Almighty
So that it becomes fresh and tender whenever it is revealed to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
So he began reciting His clear verses with humility
He memorizes the revealed Surah in understanding and contemplating
Until he became one of the major carriers of the Qur’an during the era of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
He became the fourth of four recommended by the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
By taking the Qur’an from them
He said, “The Qur’an was recited from four people: Abdullah bin Masoud, Salem, the client of Abu Hudhayfah, Ubayy bin Ka’b, and Muadh bin Jabal.”
The honorable companions of Salem recognized his virtue over them in his memorization of the Book of God
His mastery of it, his contemplation of its meanings, and his awareness of his goals
When Muslims migrated from Mecca to Medina
They called on Salim to lead them in prayer
He continued praying with them until the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, came
Although they included Omar ibn al-Khattab and a large group of the venerable companions
Then God wanted to bring Salem together with his brother in God, Abu Hudhayfah, after the migration
And to go to Badr, side by side, with the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
While the Muslims were preparing to defeat the polytheists
Salem said to his brother Abu Hudhayfah
Look, Abu Hudhayfah
This is your father Utbah bin Rabia
He advances the ranks and prepares to eliminate Islam and Muslims
Abu Hudhayfah said
Yes, I saw him
These two are enemies of God
My uncle, Shaybah bin Rabia
And my brother Al-Walid bin Utbah
They surround him
If only the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, had given me permission
To highlight them one by one
I provided them with resources in response
Or I go next to my Lord, satisfied and accepted
And when the battle ended
Salem and Abu Hudhayfah stood looking at the dead
Then I saw the threshold of Abu Hudhayfah’s father
And his uncle's gray hair
Al-Walid is his brother
They have met their wrestler
Abu Hudhayfah said
Praise be to God who approved the eye of His Prophet
By killing them all
Then the brothers in God continued
They struggle under the banner of the greatest Messenger
May God bless him and grant him peace together
In every battle he conquered in his life
They fulfill the rights of God and His Messenger upon them
Until the day of Al-Yamamah during the reign of Al-Siddiq
On that great day of God's days
Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him
To fight Musaylimah the liar
Muslims everywhere were mobilized
To eliminate his blind temptation
Which was about to destroy Islam
And his family is destroyed
So Salem and Abu Hudhayfah hastened to go to Al-Dhud
About the religion of God
He fled to fight Musaylimah, the enemy of God
The two groups met on the land of Al-Yamamah
Two fierce battles took place between them
The history of wars has rarely witnessed a parallel to them
Muslims expressed it
Led by Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl
And Khaled bin Al-Walid, may God be pleased with them both
An insurmountable kind of courage
From the description of the describers
As expressed by the apostates
Led by Musaylima
No less
Courage, bravery and dedication
But victory in these two battles
Harif Musaylimah was a liar
His men even stormed Khalid bin Al-Walid's farm
They almost cursed his wife
Had it not been that a man among them had rented it
At that
Diet has spread to the hearts of Muslims
Among them stood out great heroes
They sold souls to God
You die today or tomorrow
With souls that never die
Khalid bin Al-Walid remobilized his army
So he embraced the banner of immigrants
By Salem Mawla Abi Hudhayfah
He surrendered to the Ansar brigade
By Thabit bin Qais
Zaid bin Al-Khattab stood
He incites Muslims to fight
He said: O people!
A bite on your molars
And strike at your enemy
And move on
People
By God, I will never speak again after this word
Until God defeats Musaylimah the liar and those with him
Or kill
So give God my proof
Then he set out to break through the ranks
He kept fighting until he was killed
Then Abu Hudhayfah followed him while calling
O people of the Qur’an
Beautify the Qur’an with your actions
Then he began his struggle until he was martyred, advancing without retreating
As for Salem, the client of Abu Hudhayfah
So he turned to the immigrants and said
Miserable is the one who bears the Qur’an
The Muslims before me are at fault
Then he rushed to defend the banner of his people
Until his right was cut off
So he took the flag with his left hand
He fought for it until it cut off his left hand
So he took the flag by his arms
He remained steadfast in it until his wounds became severe
He fell to the ground covered in his blood
And when the battle ended
Khalid bin Al-Walid stood against Salem, the client of Abu Hudhayfah
He was still sleepy
Salem said to him, “What have the Muslims done, Khaled?”
And he said
God granted them victory
Musaylimah the liar killed them
He defeated his soldiers and followers
And he said
What did my brother Abu Hudhayfah do?
And he said
He went to his Lord, coming without turning back
He was killed as a martyr
And he said
They made me sad beside him
And he said
There it is, cushioned at your feet
He closed his eyes as he said
Together here, Abu Hudhayfah
And together there, God willing
He took his last breath
If Salem were alive
I appointed him to take charge after me
Omar bin Al-Khattab
