Pictures from the lives of the followers
0:21
By Dr. Abdul Rahman Raafat Al-Basha
0:26
May God have mercy on him
0:30
Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qays
0:32
May God have mercy on him
0:43
We are now in the beginning of the caliphate of Al-Farouq, may God bless his face
0:48
And here they are, the first glorified angels
0:51
Rahat Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qais from Banu Tamim
0:54
They ride on pure horses
0:58
They wear delicate, delicate swords
1:02
They leave their homes in Al-Ahsa and Najd
1:06
They turned their faces towards Basra
1:09
They want to join the masses of Muslims gathered there
1:14
Under the leadership of Uthba Ibn Ghazwan
1:17
To fight the Persians in jihad for the sake of God
1:21
And seeking the good reward from God
1:24
Their boy, Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qays, was with them
1:28
And one day
1:32
Uthbah Ibn Ghazwan received a letter from the Commander of the Faithful, Omar Ibn Al-Khattab
1:38
He orders him to send ten of his righteous soldiers to him
1:43
They are the best in battle
1:46
To find out from them the conditions of the army
1:49
Let him be filled with their opinion and advice
1:53
Uthbah cracked up with the matter
1:55
He prepared ten of his elite men
1:58
Among them was Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qays
2:01
He directed them to the city
2:04
Like the men of the delegation in the hands of the Commander of the Faithful
2:09
He welcomed them and attended their meetings
2:12
Then he asked them about their needs and the needs of the general public
2:17
So they got up to him one by one and said
2:20
As for the general public
2:23
You are their guardian and the owner of their affairs
2:26
As for us, we are talking about ourselves
2:31
Then each of them asked for the need that concerned him
2:35
Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qays was the last man of the delegation to speak
2:40
Because he was the youngest among them
2:43
He thanked God and praised Him, then said
2:47
O Commander of the Faithful!
2:49
The Muslim soldiers who settled in Egypt
2:53
They descended into greenness, freshness, and fertility from the homes of the Pharaohs
2:59
And those who settled in the lands of the Levant
3:02
They descended into prosperity, fruits, and gardens from the homes of the Tsars
3:08
And those who settled in the lands of the Persians
3:11
They camped on the banks of fresh rivers and lush gardens, among the homes of the occupants
3:19
But the people who settled in Basra
3:22
They have landed in the land of this bright screen.
3:26
Its soil will not dry up, nor will its pasture grow.
3:30
One end of it is the Sea of Agag
3:33
And its other end, so it will not be cut off
3:37
So remove, O Commander of the Faithful, their harm
3:39
And revive their lives
3:42
Your command over Basra is to dig a river for them from which they can draw water
3:47
They water the livestock and crops
3:50
Their condition will improve and their children will be well
3:53
And their prices are cheaper
3:55
They seek help in jihad for the sake of God
4:00
Omar looked at him in admiration
4:02
He said to the men of the delegation
4:05
Did you not do this?
4:07
By God, he is a master
4:10
Then present them with their prizes
4:13
He presented the award to Al-Ahn
4:16
And he said
4:17
By God, O Commander of the Faithful
4:20
We did not cut off the deserts for you
4:22
Nor do we beat camel livers in the early morning and evening hours to meet you to obtain prizes
4:29
And I have no need of you
4:31
Except for the need of a people that I mentioned
4:35
If you fulfill it for them, you will have been sufficient and fulfilled
4:39
Omar became more impressed by him and said:
4:43
This boy is the master of the people of Basra
4:47
When the council adjourned
4:49
They are the men of the delegation to go to their camels to spend the night there
4:54
Omar looked at their bags
4:58
He saw the edge of a garment emerging from one of them
5:02
So he stood up and touched it with his hand and said
5:05
Who is this for?
5:07
Al-Ahnaf said
5:09
For me, O Commander of the Faithful
5:11
He realized he had taken advantage of him
5:14
Omar said to him
5:15
How much did you buy it?
5:17
Al-Ahnaf said
5:19
For eight dirhams
5:21
He did not know about himself that he had lied in his entire life other than that lie
5:27
That's because he bought it for twelve dirhams
5:31
Omar looked at him gently and said
5:35
Did you settle for one?
5:37
Malik's virtue was placed in a position to help a Muslim
5:42
Then he said
5:43
Take from your money what suits you
5:47
Put your curiosity in its proper place, make yourselves comfortable, and win
5:52
Al-Ahnaf turned down ashamed of him
5:55
He didn't say anything
5:59
The Commander of the Faithful authorized the men of the delegation to return to Basra
6:04
However, Al-Ahnaf was not allowed to relax with them
6:08
He kept him with him for a whole year
6:12
Omar realized his insight
6:15
The sharpness of intelligence that Tamimi possesses
6:19
And the clarity of the statement
6:21
Elevation of soul, height of determination, and richness of talents
6:25
He wanted to keep him close to him
6:28
To make it on his own
6:30
Let him meet the great Companions and be guided by their guidance
6:35
He learns the religion of God at their hands
6:38
Then he wanted to test it closely
6:43
And to penetrate his inner self before taking charge of some Muslim affairs
6:49
This is because Omar was extremely afraid of the intelligent, articulate contractors
6:56
If they are righteous, the world will be filled with goodness
7:00
They also became corrupt, and their intelligence was a disaster for people
7:05
When the year ended, Omar said to Al-Ahnaf
7:09
Oh Ahnaf
7:11
I have tested you and tested you
7:13
I saw nothing but good
7:16
I saw that you had good intentions
7:19
I hope that your disposition will be like your intention
7:23
Then he directed him to war with the Persians
7:26
He wrote to his leader, Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari
7:29
As for after
7:31
Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qays is closer to you
7:33
Consult him and listen to him
7:38
Daw al-Ahnaf is under the banners of the bright Muslims who have set out in Persia
7:44
And I start from the types of tournaments
7:47
What made his stock rise and his star shine
7:51
He and his people, Banu Tamim, did a great job fighting the enemy
7:56
And they made the most generous efforts
7:59
Until God conquered the city of Tustar at their hands
8:03
The jewel of the Kasravi crown
8:05
Al-Hurmuzan was captured by them
8:08
Al-Hurmuzan was one of the most powerful Persian commanders
8:13
The strongest of their princes was wise and most determined
8:17
The most widespread of them is a plot in wars
8:20
The Muslim victories forced him to reconcile with them more than once
8:26
However, he betrayed them every chance he got
8:30
He thought he was capable of victory
8:33
When they closed in on him in cover
8:36
He fortified himself in one of its fortified towers and told them
8:41
I have a hundred of them
8:44
By God, you will not reach me as long as I have any of it in my hands
8:49
You know that I am an archer whose throw never misses
8:54
What's the point of taking me prisoner?
8:56
After a hundred of you were killed or wounded
9:01
They said: What do you want?
9:04
And he said
9:05
I want to discuss the ruling of your Caliph Omar
9:08
And let him do whatever he wants with me
9:11
They told you that
9:13
He threw his bow on the ground
9:16
He went down to them surrendering
9:18
So they tied him tightly
9:20
He was sent to the city with a delegation of heroes of the conquest
9:25
At their head was Anas bin Malik
9:28
Servant of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him
9:31
Al-Ahnaf bin Qais
9:33
Age school student
9:38
The delegation proceeded with Hormuzan towards the city
9:42
Let the Commander of the Faithful give good tidings of conquest
9:46
One-fifth of the spoils are transferred to the Muslim treasury
9:50
Let the one who breaks his covenants hand over his debts to the Caliph
9:55
To judge him wisely
9:57
When they reached the outskirts of the city
10:00
Prepare the Hormozan
10:02
To present it to Muslims in its form
10:06
They dressed him in clothes woven from precious brocade
10:10
Mochas with gold threads
10:13
They placed on his head a crown studded with pearls and jewels
10:17
They imitated his scepter made of ebony
10:21
Garlanded with rubies and pearls
10:25
Whenever their feet set foot in the land of Yathrib
10:28
Until people gathered around them, old and young
10:32
And they looked at their captive
10:35
They are greatly amazed by his appearance and clothing
10:40
The delegation headed by Hormuzan to Omar's house
10:43
They did not find him
10:45
So they asked about him
10:46
So they were told
10:48
He went to the mosque to receive a delegation that came to him
10:53
So they went to the mosque
10:55
They did not see him there
10:57
The longer they searched for the caliph
11:01
People multiplied over them and the crowding became intense
11:05
While they were in this confusion
11:07
He saw them as little boys playing
11:10
And they said to them
11:12
What's your business?
11:13
See you going Aibin
11:16
Perhaps you want the Commander of the Faithful
11:19
They said yes we want it
11:22
And they said
11:23
He is sleeping on the starboard side of the mosque
11:27
Medium robe
11:29
He was Omar, may God be pleased with him
11:32
He went out to meet a delegation from the people of Kufa in his prince
11:37
When the delegation left
11:39
Take off the robe
11:40
And put it under his head
11:42
He left his eyelids to the eyelid
11:45
The delegation set out with Hormuzan to the right of the mosque
11:49
When they saw the Caliph sleeping, they sat down beside him
11:53
And they made their prisoner sit with them
11:56
Al-Hurmuzan did not understand any Arabic
12:00
What would have occurred to him was that this person was sleeping in the vicinity of the mosque
12:05
He is the Commander of the Faithful, Omar bin Al-Khattab
12:09
Indeed, he had heard about Omar's austerity
12:13
And his asceticism was abundant in the world and its adornments
12:17
But he wasn't just imagining it
12:21
That the conqueror of the Romans and the crusher of the oppressors sleep at the edge of the mosque
12:26
Without cover or ironing
12:29
No guards or veils
12:32
When he saw the people sitting silently
12:35
He thought they were preparing for prayer
12:37
They await the arrival of the Caliph
12:40
But Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qays
12:43
He made signs for people to stop talking
12:46
And stop fussing
12:48
In order not to wake the Caliph
12:51
He knew who was with him
12:54
He rarely closes his eyelids at night
12:58
He is either standing in his niche, worshiping God
13:02
Or hidden in his clothes
13:04
He roams the city's neighborhoods to find out the conditions of his flock
13:09
Or Aas guards Muslim homes from raiders
13:13
Al-Ahnaf’s signals to the people caught Al-Hurmuzan’s attention
13:18
He turned to Al-Mughirah Ibn Shu'bah
13:21
He knew Persian
13:23
And he said
13:24
Who is this sleeper?
13:26
Al-Mughirah said to him
13:28
He is the Commander of the Faithful, Omar
13:31
Al-Hurmuzan opened his mouth in astonishment and said:
13:35
Omar
13:37
Where are his guards and veils?
13:39
Al-Mughirah said to him
13:41
He has no guard or guard
13:44
Al-Hurmuzan said
13:46
He should be a prophet
13:49
Al-Mughirah said
13:51
Rather, he does the same as the prophets
13:53
Because there is no prophet after Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
13:58
Then the people increased and the commotion rose
14:02
Then Omar woke up
14:03
He sat up and looked at the people in astonishment
14:08
He saw the Persian prince
14:10
On his head was his crown, glowing under the rays of the sun
14:15
In his hand is his scepter, the radiance of which catches the eye
14:20
He stared at him and said
14:22
Hormuzan
14:24
Al-Ahnaf said to him
14:26
Yes, Commander of the Faithful
14:29
Omar looked at his gold and pearls
14:32
And rubies and silk
14:35
Then he turned his face away from him and said
14:38
I seek refuge in God from hell
14:40
And I seek help from him in this world
14:43
Praise be to God who humiliated this man and brought him to Islam
14:48
Then he said
14:50
O Muslims!
14:52
Hold on to this religion
14:54
And be guided by the guidance of your noble Prophet
14:57
And do not let the world deprive you of it
15:00
She is a stranger
15:02
When he finished speaking
15:04
Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qays gave him good news of conquest
15:07
And tell him what spoils God has bestowed upon the Muslims
15:12
And he told him
15:14
O Commander of the Faithful!
15:16
Al-Hurmuzan has captured us
15:19
He asked for your ruling on it to be revealed
15:22
Talk to him if you want
15:24
And he said
15:25
I will not speak to him until you remove the appearance of arrogance and evil on him
15:31
So they took off his jewelry and crown
15:34
They took his scepter from him
15:36
They dressed him in a thick dress that covered his body
15:40
Then Omar turned to him and said
15:44
Hey, Hormuzan
15:46
How did you find the scourge of treachery?
15:48
And the consequence of God's command
15:51
Al-Hurmuzan bowed down in humiliation and then said:
15:54
Oh Omar
15:56
We were in pre-Islamic times, we and you
16:00
God was neither with us nor with you
16:03
So we defeated you
16:05
When you converted to Islam, God was with you
16:08
You defeated us
16:10
Omar said to him
16:11
You have defeated us for what you mentioned
16:15
And for another thing
16:16
It is your meeting and our separation
16:19
Then he looked at him sternly and said
16:22
What is your excuse for criticizing time after time, Hormuzan?
16:28
Al-Hurmuzan said
16:30
I'm afraid you'll kill me
16:32
Omar said
16:33
It's okay for you to tell me
16:37
When Al-Hurmuzan heard that from Omar
16:40
He calmed down a bit
16:42
And he said
16:44
I am thirsty
16:46
Omar ordered them to give him water
16:48
He brought him water in a thick cup
16:51
He looked at him and said
16:53
If I were thirsty, I would not be able to drink from such a vessel
16:59
So Omar ordered
17:00
So water was brought to him in a vessel that he pleased
17:04
When he took it in his hand
17:06
It made his hand tremble
17:08
Omar said to him
17:10
What's wrong with you?
17:11
And he said
17:13
I am afraid that I will be killed while drinking this dose of water
17:18
Omar said to him
17:20
It's okay for you to drink it
17:23
It was not from Hormuzan
17:25
Except that the pot was enough
17:27
And the foot of the water
17:29
Omar said
17:30
They brought him other water
17:33
Do not combine death and thirst against him
17:36
Al-Hurmuzan said
17:38
I don't need water
17:40
But I wanted to protect myself from being killed by him
17:45
Omar said to him
17:47
I am your killer
17:49
Al-Hurmuzan said
17:51
You have secured me
17:53
Omar said
17:54
I lied
17:55
Anas bin Malik said:
17:57
Believe, O Commander of the Faithful
18:00
She secured him
18:02
Omar said
18:03
Woe to you, Anas
18:05
I believe the killer of your brother, Al-Baraa bin Malik
18:08
And Mujaat bin Thawr
18:10
No way!
18:12
Anas said
18:13
I told him
18:15
It's okay for you to tell me
18:18
And I told him
18:19
It's okay for you to drink water
18:23
Al-Ahnaf supported Anas’ statement
18:25
Those present acknowledged that the Commander of the Faithful had secured Al-Hurmuzan
18:30
Omar looked at Al-Hurmuzan angrily and said:
18:34
You cheated on me
18:36
By God, I will not be deceived except by a Muslim
18:40
Al-Hurmuzan converted to Islam
18:42
He was assigned an age of two thousand
18:46
Omar was worried about him
18:49
Frequent opportunities to break their covenants with Muslims
18:52
And their coup against them
18:54
He gathered the men of the delegation that came with Al-Hurmuzan and told them
18:59
Do Muslims harm and mistreat the people of Dhimmah?
19:04
And they attack them
19:06
The men of the delegation said
19:08
By God, O Commander of the Faithful
19:10
We don't know that anyone mistreated them
19:14
Or guard their duty
19:16
Or cheat them into a contract
19:18
Omar said
19:20
Why do they turn against you whenever they get the opportunity?
19:24
Despite the contracts between you and them
19:28
The delegation responded with words that did not convince Omar
19:32
And he had no rest
19:34
Then Al-Ahnaf Ibn Qays stood up and said
19:37
I am telling you what you asked about, O Commander of the Faithful
19:42
And he said
19:43
Bring what you have
19:45
And he said
19:46
You are, O Commander of the Faithful
19:48
You have forbidden us from wandering into the land of opportunities
19:52
She ordered us to limit ourselves to what we have of their lands and cities
19:57
The opportunity is as long as they have a living king and an existing king
20:02
They will fight us with balls and balls
20:05
To recover what is in our hands from their people and their homes
20:09
And those who have promised us will join them whenever the preacher calls him
20:14
He had a chance to win
20:16
And he, O Commander of the Faithful
20:19
No two kings meet in one land
20:23
One must take the other out
20:26
If you give us permission to travel to their country
20:29
Until we destroy their kingdom and remove their kingdom
20:33
Let us cut off their hope and calm their resolve
20:37
And the matter settled for us
20:39
Omar paused for a moment and then said
20:42
Al-Ahnaf believed me
20:45
He revealed to me what I had missed about the people's affairs
20:51
And after
20:52
Al-Ahnaf’s position had its consequences
20:56
It was the effect of this opinion
20:58
That changed the course of history
21:04
This boy, by God, is the master
21:09
He is the master of the people of Basra
21:13
Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him
21:27
They were here watering the clouds of our lives
21:32
We cannot mention them with exaltation
21:37
They left and cast a question in my conscience
21:42
Is there a star like them in the sky and its hills?
21:48
They filled their lives with pride in their foxes
21:52
And the world of the ego has become apparent to them
