Pictures from the lives of the followers
By Dr. Abdul Rahman Raafat Al-Basha
May God have mercy on him
Al-Qasim bin Muhammad bin Abi Bakr
May God have mercy on him
Have you received news of this venerable follower?
It gathers glory from all its edges
Until he missed nothing
His father is Muhammad bin Abi Bakr Al-Siddiq
His mother was the daughter of Kasra Yazdgerd
The last king of the Persians
And his aunt Aisha, Mother of the Believers
He is above all of that
He crowned his dignity with the crown of piety and knowledge
Do you think that above this glory there is a glory in which competitors compete?
That is Al-Qasim bin Muhammad bin Abi Bakr Al-Siddiq
One of the city's seven jurists
The most knowledgeable people of his time
One of them is the most intelligent and most pious
Let us begin his life story from the beginning
Al-Qasim bin Muhammad was born at the end of the caliphate of Othman bin Affan, may God Almighty be pleased with him
But the little boy was hardly included in his nest
Until the violent wind of strife blew through the lands of the Muslims
The ascetic Caliph Dhu al-Nourin was martyred
He was bent over the parts of the Qur’an by his crucifixion
A major dispute broke out between the Commander of the Faithful, Ali bin Abi Talib
And Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan, Emir of the Levant
And in a terrifying and amazing series of successive events
The little boy found himself being carried with his sister from Medina to Egypt
They had to join their father
After he became its governor by the Commander of the Faithful, Ali bin Abi Talib
Then he saw the red fingernails of the temptation extending to his father
So you kill him as evil as you kill him
Then he found himself transported again from Egypt to Medina
After it was captured by Muawiyah's supporters
He became a kind orphan
Al-Qasim himself spoke about this journey of torment and died without it
He said when my father was killed in Egypt
My uncle Abdul Rahman bin Abi Bakr came
So he took me and my younger sister and headed towards Medina
As soon as we reached it
Until my aunt Aisha, may God be pleased with her, sent to us
So she carried us from my uncle's house to her house
She raised us in her lap
I have never seen a mother or a parent more virtuous than her
I have no compassion
She fed us with her hands and did not eat with us
If there is any left of our food, I eat
She was compassionate toward us as nursing mothers are toward weaning
She washes our bodies and combs our hair
We wore bright white clothes
She would constantly encourage us to do good and practice doing it
It forbids us from evil and forces us to abandon it
She has been teaching us what we learn from the Book of God
Our narration is what we understand from the hadith of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
She increased our righteousness and kindness during the two Eids
If it was the eve of Arafat
She shaved my hair
She washed me and my sister
So if we become
Our new clothes
She sent us to the mosque to perform the Eid prayer
So if we come back from it
She gathered me and my sister and sacrificed herself in our hands
And on my own day
You dressed us in white clothes
Then she sat me on one of her knees
I sat my sister on her other knee
She had insulted my uncle Abdul Rahman
When he entered her
She greeted him and then spoke
So I thanked God Almighty
She praised him for what he deserved
I have never seen a man or woman speak before or after her
I am more eloquent than her and have no sweeter eloquence
Then she said
Yes, my brother
I have continued to see you turning away from me since I took these two boys from you
I hugged them to me
By God, I did not do that to offend you or to hold any bad opinion of you
Don't accuse you of negligence in their case
But you are a man with women
They are two young boys who cannot help themselves
So you were afraid that your women would see what they appreciated
Let no soul be pleased with them
I found that I had more right to do their job in this situation
They are now grown up
They were able to do their own thing
Take them and hold them close to you
So my uncle Abdul Rahman took us and took us to his house
However, the Bakri boy
He remained with his heart attached to the house of his aunt, the Mother of the Believers, may God be pleased with her
On the floor of her house, which was smeared with the spices of the Prophet, there was a staircase
He was raised and nurtured in his companion's embrace
And from her flowing tenderness, he drank and quenched his thirst
So he started dividing his time between her house and his uncle’s house
The memories of his aunt's sweet, sweet home remained tender
He lives in his mind as long as his life lasted
Listen to some of his talk about those memories, where he says:
One day I said to my aunt Aisha, may God be pleased with her
O mother, reveal to me the grave of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
And the graves of his two companions, I want to see them
The three graves were still inside her house
She covered it with something to hide it from the eyes
She revealed to me three graves, neither high nor low
It was paved with young red chicks from what was in the courtyard of the mosque
So I said, “Where is the grave of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace?”
She gestured with her hand and said this
Then two big tears rolled down her cheeks
So I quickly wiped them away so that I wouldn't see them
The grave of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, preceded the graves of his two companions
So I said, “Where is the grave of my grandfather, Abu Bakr?”
She said, “Here he is.” He was buried near the head of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
I said, “This is Omar’s grave.”
She said yes, and Omar's head, may God be pleased with him, was at my grandfather's waist
Close to the man of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him
When the virgin boy grew up, he had memorized the Book of God Almighty
He took from his aunt Aisha from the hadith of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Whatever God wants to take
Then he headed to the Noble Prophet’s Mosque
It was cut off to the circles of knowledge that were scattered in every corner of it
As the stars are scattered across the sky
It was narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah, Abdullah bin Omar, and Abdullah bin Abbas
Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr and Abdullah bin Jaafar
Abdullah bin Khabbab and Rafi’ bin Khadij
The servant of Omar bin Al-Khattab converted to Islam
And others and others, may God be pleased with them, until he became a diligent imam
He became one of the most knowledgeable people of his time in the Sunnah
A man was not considered a man until he mastered the Sunnah
When the young man in Al-Bakri acquired the tools of knowledge
People came to him eagerly seeking knowledge
He went to them and gave it to them generously
He used to come to the mosque of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, every morning
At a later date
Faisal performs two rak'ahs with which he greets the mosque
Then he takes his place in front of Khoukha Omar in Al-Rawdah Al-Ghara
Between the grave of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and his pulpit
Students of knowledge from everywhere gather around it
They drink from its fresh, refined resources
What fills thirsty souls
It didn't take long
Until Al-Qasim became Ibn Muhammad
And his cousin Salem bin Abdullah bin Omar
The trusted imams of the city
And the obedient ones prostrated to it
And her permeable legs
Although they had neither jurisdiction nor authority in their hands
People have dominated them
Because of their piety and piety
And the knowledge and jurisprudence they carry in their chests
And the asceticism they embellish with what is in the hands of people
And the desire for what God Almighty has
He has reached their status in people's hearts
The caliphs of the Umayyads and their governors
They would not cut anything withered
In a matter of city affairs
Except in their opinion
Including Al-Walid Ibn Abdul-Malik
He decided to expand the Prophet’s Mosque
He was unable to fulfill this precious wish
Unless the old mosque is demolished from all four sides
He removed the homes of the Prophet’s wives, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
He added it to the mosque
These are things that are difficult for people
And their souls do not feel good about it
So he wrote to Omar bin Abdul Aziz, his governor of Medina, saying:
I saw that the largest mosque of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Until it becomes two hundred cubits by two hundred cubits
He demolished its four walls
And insert the stone of the Prophet’s wives, peace and blessings be upon him
He bought the houses in his area
And offer the Qiblah if you can
And you can do that in the place of your maternal uncles, the Al-Khattab
And their status in people's hearts
If the people of Medina refuse to do so,
So seek help from Al-Qasim bin Muhammad and Salem bin Abdullah bin Omar
Involve them with you in the matter
Pay people generously for their homes
Indeed, you have a true Salaf in that
They are Omar bin Al-Khattab and Othman bin Affan
So he called Omar bin Abdul Aziz Al-Qasim bin Muhammad and Salem bin Abdullah
And a group of the faces of the people of the city
He read to them the book of the Commander of the Faithful
They were pleased with what the Caliph had decided to do and rose to implement it
When the people saw the two great scholars of the city and its great imams
They begin demolishing the mosque with their own hands
They stood together as one man
And implement what was stated in the letter of the Commander of the Faithful
The Muslim armies were victorious
Then the doors of the fortresses leading to the city of Constantinople will knock
And seize them one by one
Led by the valiant Prince Maslama bin Abdul Malik bin Marwan
This was in preparation for the conquest of Constantinople itself
When the Roman king learned of the resolve of the Commander of the Faithful
On the expansion of the Prophet’s Mosque
He loved to treat him and get close to him as he pleased
So he sent him a hundred thousand mithqals of gold
He sent with her one hundred workers, among the most skilled builders in the Roman lands
He provided the workers with forty loads of mosaics
Al-Walid sent all of this to Omar bin Abdul Aziz
To help him build the mosque
So Omar spent it with the advice of Al-Qasim bin Muhammad and his friend
It was Al-Qasim bin Muhammad
The people who feel most sad about his grandfather, the friend, may God be pleased with him
So people said
Abu Bakr did not give birth to a son more like this young man
He resembled him in the generosity of his generosity and the nobility of his characteristics
The solidity of his faith and the intensity of his piety
His generosity and generosity of hand
There are many sayings and deeds that testify to this
From this, a Bedouin came to the mosque and said:
That is, I do not know whether you are Umm Salem bin Abdullah
So he was distracted from it, so he returned it to him
He said, Glory be to God, so he repeated it a third time
He said to him, “That Salem, my brother’s son, is sitting there.”
Those in the council said, “God is his father.”
He hated to say, “I am more knowledgeable than him,” so he would purify himself
He hated to say, “He is more knowledgeable than me,” and then lie
He was more knowledgeable than Salem
He was once seen in Mina
The people of the cities, who are pilgrims to the House of God, surround it from all sides
And they ask him
He answered them with what he knew
He tells them what he does not know
I don't know I don't know I don't know
They were amazed at him
He said to them, “We do not know everything you ask about.”
If we had known him, we would not have concealed it
It is not permissible for us to conceal it
Because a man lives ignorant after knowing God’s rights over him
It is better for him than to say what he does not know
And at one time
He made an effort to divide the alms among those who deserve them
So he tried his best to do that
He gave you what was due his due
However, one of them was not satisfied with the share that was given to him
So he came to the mosque while he was standing and praying
And he started talking about charity
And his son said to him
By God, you are talking about a man
He did not get a dirham or a dirham from your charity
Not a single date came from it
Al-Qasim concluded his prayer
He turned to his son and said
My son, do not speak after today about what you do not know
The people said his son was truthful
But he wanted to raise him
And to keep his tongue from expanding his words
Omar Al-Qasim Ibn Muhammad
Even over seventy-two
But he is blind and he is an old man
In the last year of his life
He went to Mecca and wanted to perform Hajj
While he was on his way, certainty came to him
When I felt the deadline
He turned to his son and said
If she sleeps
So he provided me with the clothes in which I was praying
My shirt, my clothes, and my robe
That was the shroud of your grandfather, Abu Bakr
Then Ali was alone
And join your family
And beware of standing on my grave
And they say it was and it was
I was nothing
If I had anything to do with it
I nominated Al-Qasim Ibn Muhammad for the caliphate
Omar bin Abdul Aziz
They filled with life
Proud of their actions
And the world of the ego has become apparent to them
