Four years after the Hijrah[emigration of the followers of Islam from
Makkah to Medinah], in the city of Medinah, the Muslims were still in
danger due to the Jewish tribe, the Banu an-Nadir, who broke their
contract with the Prophet Muhammad [PBUH=May Allah bless him and grant
him peace].
Then the community received news that some tribes from the desert of
Najd were about to attack. So, the Prophet of Islam [PBUH] raised over
four hundred Muslims in order to prevent them from attacking.
Arriving at Najd, they found that only women were present in the
houses; the men had taken refuge in the hills.
Some of the Nadj tribes regrouped and prepared themselves for the
fight. The time of 'Asr [the afternoon prayer] came, and the Muslims
divided in two, as it was revealed,and each group prayed after the
other. The ennemy, seeing the discipline among Muslims felt uneasiness
and fear. They did not attack. So, the Muslims went back to Medinah.
The Prophet of Allah [PBUH] asked:
"Who will be our guard tonight?" Two men immediatly rose: Abbad ibn
Bishr and Ammar ibn Yasir. Abbad saw that Ammar was tired and asked
him: "What part of the night do you wish to sleep, the first or the
second?" "The first part," said Ammar.
The night was serene. Everything seemed peaceful. Abbad decided to
spend the night in Ibadah [acts of worship] while his companion was
asleep, and began recitingthe Qur'an. Abbad soon stood and faced the
Qiblah in order to performSalaat [voluntary prayer]. He began reciting
Surah al-Kahf of one hundred and ten verses which explains the virtues
of faith, truth and patience and the passing of time.
While he was absorbed in recitation and in thought, an ennemy came
from themountains of Najd and saw him vulnerable. The man drew his bow
and thew an arrow towards Abbad. Calmly, Abbad pulled the arrow out
and continued his meditation. The ennemy shot a second, then a third
arrow. Abbad pulled themout one by one, and finished his recitation.
Weak and in pain, at last, he stretched out his right hand during his
prostration and awoke hiscompanion Ammar. "Glorybe to Allah! Why
didn't you wake me up when the first arrow reached you?" "Reciting the
versesof the Qur'an filled me with such wonders that I felt repugnance
to cut it short. I would have preferred death rather than stopping
right in the middle of it." Abbad did not die this day; he died as a
shahid [a martyr], at the battle of Yamamah. He fought so vehemently
that his wounds made him almost not recognizable. He was a true
believer.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
