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
Adi bin Hatem from Al-Tai
May God be pleased with him
In the ninth year of the Hijra
One of the Arab kings condemned Islam after alienation
And there is no turning away or rejection from faith
He gave obedience to the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, after he refused
That is Adi bin Hatim from Al-Ta'i
Who sets an example of his father's generosity
Uday inherited the presidency from his father
His queen was trampled upon
She imposed a quarter of her spoils on him
I handed over the reins to him
And when the Holy Prophet preached the call for guidance and truth
The Arabs condemned him neighborhood after neighborhood
Adi saw the call of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
A leadership that is about to destroy his leadership
Leadership will lead to the removal of his leadership
Then the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, returned
He is most hostile and he does not know him
And he hated him the most before he saw him
He remained hostile to Islam for nearly 20 years
Until God opened his chest to call for guidance and truth
Uday bin Hatem’s conversion to Islam has an unforgettable story
Let us leave it to the man himself to tell his story
It is better and its narration is more worthy
Uday said, “There is no Arab man who was stronger than me.”
Hate for the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
When I heard about it
You were an honorable man
And I was a Christian
And I was walking in my people in the square
So I take a quarter of their spoils
As other Arab kings did
When I heard about the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
I hated him
And when his affairs became great and his affliction became severe
And his armies and brigades rose and set in the Arab land
I said to a boy of mine who takes care of something
I don't care
Prepare for me a fat camel that is easy to drive
And tie it close to me
If you hear about Muhammad’s army or one of his companies
You have subjugated this country
So let me know
And the same tomorrow
My boy came to me and said
Oh my lord
What you were going to make
If Muhammad's horses trample your land
So make it now
So I said
And when your mother bereaved you
And he said
I have seen banners roaming around the country
So I asked about her
So I was told: These are the armies of Muhammad
So I told him
Prepare for me the camels that I ordered you to prepare
And he brought her close to me
Then I got up for my watch
So I called on my family and children to leave the land that we loved
And I started walking towards the Levant
To join my religious family, the Christians
And descend between them
This made me hasten to investigate all my family
When I passed the dangerous places
I checked on my family
Then I left a sister behind in our hometown of Najd
With those who remained there
There was no way for me to return to it
So I went with those with me until I reached the Levant
I lived there among my people
As for my sister
What happened to her was what I expected and feared
It reached me while I was in the Levant
Muhammad's horses raided our homes
My sister was taken among the captives she took
She was taken to Yathrib
There she was placed with the captives in a barn at the door of the mosque
So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passed by it
So she got up to him and said
O Messenger of God
The father died and the newcomer was absent
Who is better than God is better than you?
He said: Who came to you?
She said: Adi bin Hatem
He said: The one fleeing from God and His Messenger
Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, went and left her
When it was tomorrow
He passed by her and she told him the same as she said yesterday
He told her the same as he said
When it was the day after tomorrow
He passed by her and she despaired of him
She didn't say anything
A man behind him pointed to her
Go to him and talk to him
So she stood up to him and said
O Messenger of God
The father died and the newcomer was absent
Who is better than God is better than you?
He said, “I have done it.”
And she said
I want to join my family in Damascus
And he said
But don't rush out
Until you find someone you trust from your people
To reach you in the Levant
If you find confidence, let me know
When the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, departed
She asked about the man who told her to talk to him
So she was told
He is Uri bin Abi Talib
May God shine upon him
Then she stayed until someone she trusted arrived among them
So she came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
She said
O Messenger of God
A group of my people came
I have no confidence in them
So the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, covered it
He gave her a camel to carry
He gave her enough maintenance
So I went out with the group
Uday said
Then he made us breathe its news
We await its arrival
We can hardly believe what was told to us from her grave with Muhammad
And his kindness to her is all that kindness
With what I had towards him
By God, I am staying with my family
I saw a woman in her howdah heading towards us
So I said
Hatem's daughter
So it's her
When you stood over us
She said it to me
The unjust boycott
You took shelter with your family and your child
You left the rest of your father and your private parts
So I said
Yes, my brother
Don't say anything but good
I tried to appease her until she was satisfied
She told me her news
So, it is as it was intended for me
So I told her
She was a determined, sensible woman
What do you think about the man?
It means Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him
And she said
I see, by God, that you will catch up with him quickly
If he is a prophet
Let his grace precede him
Even if he is a king
You will not be humiliated by him while you are yourself
Uday said
So I prepared my device
I continued until I came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, in Medina
Without security or book
I heard that he said
I hope that God will put Adi’s hand in my hand
So I entered upon him while he was in the mosque
So I greeted him
And he said
From the man
So I said
Adi bin Hatem
So he stood up to me
He took my hand and took me to his house
By God, he took me home
I found a big, weak woman
And with her is a little boy
So I stopped
She started talking to him when she needed it
He stayed with them until their needs were fulfilled
And I'm standing
So I said to myself
By God, this is not a king
Then he took my hand and my head until we came to his house
He took a pillow from Adam
Stuffed leva
So he threw it to me
And he said
Sit on this
So I was ashamed of him and said
Rather, you sit on it
And he said
But you
So I complied and sat on it
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, sat on the ground
Because there was no one else in the house
So I said to myself
By God, this is not an order of a king
Then he turned to me and said
What, Adi bin Hatem?
It wasn't Rakusia
She follows a religion between Christianity and Sabaeism
I said yes
And he said
Didn't you walk with your people in a square?
So you take from them what is not permissible for you in your religion
I said yes
I knew that he was a sent prophet
Then he told me
Maybe you, Adi
It only prevents you from entering into this religion
What you see as the need and poverty of Muslims
By God, the money is about to flow to them
So there is no one to take it
Perhaps you, Adi
It only prevents you from entering into this religion
What you see is the lack of Muslims and the abundance of their enemies
By God, you will soon hear about the woman
She leaves Al-Qadisiyah on her camel
Until you visit this house
Do not fear anyone but God
Perhaps it is preventing you from entering into this religion
You see that the king and authority belong to non-Muslims
And I swear to God
You will soon hear of white palaces from the land of Babylon
It was opened to them
And the treasures of Kasr bin Hurmuz
It has become theirs
So I said
Treasures of Kasr bin Hurmuz
And he said yes
Treasures of Kasr bin Hurmuz
Uday said
Then she bore witness to the truth and converted to Islam
Omar Adi bin Hatem, may God be pleased with him, for a long time
And he was saying
Two have been achieved
The third remained
And by God, it must exist
I saw a woman leaving Al-Qadisiyah on her camel
Fear nothing until you reach this house
I was the first of the horses that raided the treasures of Kasr and took them
I swear to God that the third will come
God willed that the words of his father, peace and blessings be upon him, be fulfilled
The third came during the reign of the ascetic and worshiping Caliph Omar bin Abdul Aziz
Where money flooded the Muslims
Until he made his herald call out
Whoever takes zakat money from poor Muslims
He didn't find anyone
The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, spoke the truth
Adi bin Hatem fulfilled his oath
You believed when they disbelieved
I knew when they denied it
And I died when they betrayed me
And it came when they turned back
Omar bin Al-Khattab
Make me cry
In their praise, are they Zen?
