The Guards of the Prophet - III

'Abbaad ibn Bishr ibn Waqish ibn Zaghbah ibn Zu'awraa' ibn 'Abd Al-Ashhal :
He was one of those who witnessed the Battle of Badr, andhe was among
the leaders of the tribe of Al-Aws. He is the one whose stick had lit
up for him at night when he was returning to his home after
accompanying theProphet . He embraced Islam at the hands of Mus'ab ibn
'Umayr and he was among those who killed the leader of theJews, Ka'b
ibn Al-Ashraf. The Prophet nominated him to collect the obligatory
charity and alms from the tribes of Muznah and Bani Saleem. He also
assigned to him to lead the guard during the Battle of Tabook. 'Abbaad
showed extreme courage in the Battle of Al-Yamaamah, and he had a
lofty status. He lived to be forty-five years and make him pleased.
Abu Ayyoob Al-Ansaari :
He is Khaalid ibn Zayd ibn Kulayb ibn Tha'labah Abd Amr ibn Aw fibn
Ghanam ibn Maalik ibn An-Najjaar ibn Tha'labah ibn 'AmrAl-Ansaari
Al-Khazraji. He witnessed the second Al-'Aqabah Pledge of Allegiance,
as he went out with the delegation of Madeenah to give the Prophet
their pledge of allegiance in Makkah.
When the Prophet reached Madeenah, emigrating from Makkah, he stayed
at the house of Abu Ayyoob and he also paired him and Mus'ab ibn
'Umayr as brothers. He witnessed all the military expeditions with the
Prophet .
It is narrated that when the Prophet married Safiyyah in Khaybar, he
passed the night with her in a tent belonging to Abu Ayyoob who passed
the night carrying his sword to guardthe Prophet . He remained going
around the tent until the morning, and when the Prophet got up and saw
him in his place, he asked him: "What is up with you, O Abu Ayyoob?"
He replied, "O Messenger of Allaah, I was afraid of this woman (i.e.,
Safiyyah) on you, for you have justkilled her father, her husband and
her people, and until recently, she was in unbelief. So I was afraid
of her on you." Whereupon, the Prophet said: "O Allaah! Preserve Abu
Ayyoob as he spent the night preserving me."
He died in the year 52 A.H.
'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood ibn Ghaafil Al-Huthali :
The Prophet nicknamed him Abu 'Abdur-Rahmaan. His father died in the
Jaahiliyyah (Period of Ignorance), but his mother embraced Islam and
accompanied the Prophet so he was often called by the name of his
mother, 'Ibn Umm 'Abd'. He was among the first forerunners to Islam,
being the sixth among the first six to enter into this religion. He
emigrated to Al-Habashah and to Madeenah as well, and he witnessed the
Battle of Badr and all the other battles with the Prophet . He was the
one who delivered the deathblow to Abu Jahl, and the Prophet granted
him the sword of Abu Jahl when he brought his head to him. He also
guarded the Prophet on the day of the treaty of Al-Hudaybiyah.
Moreover, 'Umar ibn Al-Khattaab put him in charge of the state
treasury in Al-Koofah during his Caliphate.
Ibn Mas'ood died in the year 32 A.H., at the end of the Caliphate of 'Uthmaan .
Abu Qataadah Al-Ansaari :
He was the horseman of the Prophet . There is a differenceof opinion
among historians about his name, yet the most well-known opinion is
that his name is Al-Haarith ibn Rab'iyy ibn Dawmah ibn Khinaas. He was
alsoamong the guards of the Prophet . He narrated about one-hundred
and seventy Hadeeths (narrations) from the Prophet and from these
Al-Bukhaari and Muslim have agreed upon eleven. Al-Bukhaari has
exclusively related two Hadeeths, and Muslim related eight.
Anas ibn Abi Marthad Al-Ghanawi :
His nickname is Abu Yazeed, and the name of his father is Kinaaz ibn
Al-Haseen. Both Anas and his father accompanied the Prophet the father
being twenty years older than his son.
On the day of the Battle of Hunayn, the Prophet asked his Companions :
"Who will be on guard tonight?" Anas ibn Abi Marthad Al-Ghanawi
said,"I shall, O Messenger of Allaah." [Abu Daawood]

The Guards of the Prophet - II

Muhammad ibn Maslamah Al-Ansaari :
His nickname is Abu 'Abdullaah. He was from the tribe of Bani
Haarithah, and an ally to the tribeof Bani 'Abdil-Ash-hal. He was born
twenty-two years before the Prophetic mission, and he had ten sons and
six daughters. He accepted Islam at the hands ofMus'ab ibn 'Umayr when
Mus'ab was in Madeenah. Moreover, the Prophet paired him and Abu
'Ubaydah ibn Al-Jarraah as brothers –
may Allaah be pleased with both of them.
He witnessed Badr and the battles afterwards, and he guarded the
Prophet on the day of the Battle of Uhud. It is said that the Prophet
appointed him over Madeenah during some of his battles, and that
entitled him to lead about fifty-one platoons. He died seventy-seven
years old, in forty-three A.H.
Al-Mugheerah ibn Shu'bah :
He is Al-Mugheerah ibn Shu'bah ibn Abi 'Aamir ibn Mas'ood Ath-Thaqafi.
He was among the most shrewd and wise Arabs. He was born and grew up
in Thaqeefin At-Taa'if. He accepted Islam in the year of the Battle of
the Trench, after he killed thirteen men from the tribe of Bani
Maalikand took their money after they went with him to Al-Muqawqis
inEgypt. His uncle 'Urwah ibn Mas'ood was the one who paid their blood
money. Then he stayed in Madeenah with the Prophet till he went with
himto Al-Hudaybiyyah.
The Quraysh sent Al-Mugheerah's uncle 'Urwah ibn Mas'ood to the
Prophet to negotiate with him about reconciliation. 'Urwah kept
talking to the Prophet holding the Prophet's beard as hetalked, and
Al-Mugheerah ibn Shu'bah was standing near the head of the Prophet,
holding a sword and wearing a helmet. Every time 'Urwah stretched his
hand towards the beard of the Prophet, Al-Mugheerah wouldhit his hand
with the handle of the sword and say (to Urwah),"Remove your hand from
the beard of the Messenger of Allaah, or it will not return to you
again!" 'Urwah raised his head and asked, "O Muhammad, who isthat? How
rough he is!" The Prophet replied: "He is your nephew, Al-Mugheerah."
Urwah said, "O treacherous one! Am I not doing my best to prevent the
evil consequences of your treachery?" referring to what Al-Mugheerah
did before accepting Islam. [Al-Bukhaari]
Al-Mugheerah witnessed the Ridhwaan pledge of allegiance and the
battles following it. Afterthe death of the Prophet he witnessed the
Battle of Al-Yamaamah and the conquests of Ash-Shaam (the Levant), and
his eye was gouged out in the Battle of Al-Yarmook. 'Umar appointed
Al-Mugheerah over Bahrain, then Al-Basrah, then Al-Koofah, where he
stayed as governor till the assassination of 'Umar .
He died in Al-Koofah in 50 A.H. .
Bilaal ibn Rabaah Al-Habashi (the Abyssinian) :
His nickname is Abu 'Abdullaah, and he is one of the great Companions
of the Prophet . He was among the slaves of the Quraysh who embraced
Islam, which led his master Umayyah ibn Khalaf to torture him cruelly.
However, Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq bought him and set him free.He was known
for his endurance of torture, as he kept saying, "One, One", meaning
Allaah.
Bilaal had a beautiful voice, which was why the Prophet assigned to
him the task of performing the Athaan (call to prayer). He guarded the
Prophet during the Battle of Waadi Al-Qura. In addition to that, he
was present in all the military expeditions with the Prophet . He died
in Ash-Shaam, while fighting in the cause of Allaah, and he was buried
in Damascus in the year 20A.H.
It is narrated that when he was dying, his wife said, "Oh, my sorrow!"
Thereupon, he said to her, "Do not say 'Oh, my sorrow'; rather, say
'Oh, my joy!'" Then he said, "Tomorrow we will meet the loved ones,
Muhammadand his Companions."

[this is a phrase used by the Arabs to express love and esteem]."
[Al-Bukhaari]
Sa'd was among the guards of the Prophet . 'Aa'ishah reported that,
"the Prophet got no sleep at one night and he said: "If only a
righteous man from my Companions [would] come to guard me." Then we
heard the sound of [a] weapon; thereupon the Prophet called: "Who is
this?" and the man outside replied, "I am Sa'd ibn AbiWaqqaas, O
Messenger of Allaah. Icame to guard you." 'Aa'ishah said, "The Prophet
then slept till I heard him snore." [Muslim]

Al-Awsi Al-Ash-hali, and his mother is Kabshah bint Raafi'. He was one
of the Companions and came from the people of Madeenah. He was the
head of the tribe of Al-Aws, and his nickname was Abu 'Umar. He

to Madeenah before the Hijrah (Emigration) to call its people to
Islam. He witnessed Badr, and on that day he guarded the Prophet in

Ad’iyah Mahzoorah (forbidden du’aa’s) - Does the fact that Allah answers the prayers of the disbelievers indicate that what they believe istrue?.

I am a Muslim convert, Alhamdulillah. I was raised a misguided
Christian kaafir, and then Allah guided me to Islam and the Sunnah.
However, I then adoptedShiite beliefs and did many horrible sins like
insulting the Sahaba of the Prophet : such as AbuBakr, Umar, Uthman,
Lady Aisha, etc (May Allah Bless Them All). I have just repented and
returned to the Sunnah and I am a Sunni Muslim insha'Allah and
Alhamdulillah! I'm cryingin repentance, may Allahaccept it. What
should I do with Shi'ite books I have since they have thename of Allah
written in them should I put them away somewhere or throw them out?
Also I suffer from terriblewaswas (likely from the sins of cursing the
sahaba, and lying against Allah with blasphemies like comparing his
creation to him with the Shi'ites so-called "12 Imams" which are all
scholars of Ahl al-Sunnha like Ali ibnAbi Talib RA, etc. and the Mahdi
will be born later at the end of time when the Muslim Prophet Isa AS
returns). I don't even want to speak of them, as I know the hadith
says not to talk or act upon the waswas one hears. But I feel as if
the shaytan is giving me horrific waswas to try to scare me about
whether the Deen I know is true really is true Allah FORGIVE ME (I'm
nearly crying as I write this)!!! The shaytan's waswas tells me "are
you sure about Allah" and then shaytan scares me with thoughts that
other accursed kuffar pagan religions allegedly are"appealing" I know
the hadith tells us that at thetime of death these fearscan occur
http://islam-qa.com/en/ref/60191/death%20jew%20christianAnd you said
this the greatest trial. I know that Allah is the truth and Islam is
the only salvation from the accursed hellfire Allah Protect me. Allah
is One and Prophet Muhammadibn Abdullah is his slave and final
Messenger. Andall the Prophets AS throughout history wereMuslims as
well.
Also how do we answer claims of the kuffar (like Christians, Jews,
etc) who claim that their kuffar false "prayers" allegedly produced
them"miracles" we know thatAllah will answer the person who calls upon
him and that this world is a test. I found this link interesting
http://www.onislam.net/english/ask-about-islam/faith-and-worship/heart-and-soul/166077-does-allah-answer-the-prayers-of-non-muslims.html?Soul=
"But what about those millions of people around the world who will
tell you that Jesus or such-and-such saint or anyone else answered
their prayers? What theygot in response was no more than what was
already written for them. Even if they hadn'tprayed, they would
havegot that thing. Nothing happens by coincidence or chance in the
meaning that it was unplanned by Allah. Onlysincere supplication to
God (Allah) alone can change what is written.
So, Allah (God) does answer non-Muslims when they ask Him for
something. Anything else they get is only what was already written for
them."
Also it makes me feel good to read about the stories of the miracles
Allah bestowed on the Prophet and upon the righteous Muslims today
like being cured of diseases like cancer see one example an American
Muslim convertwoman named Aminah Assilmi.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
Praise be to Allah Who has guided you to Islam and given you the
blessing of Tawheed (belief in His Oneness), and has brought you back
to the truth by His grace, kindness and blessing. We ask Allah to make
you steadfast in adhering to the truth and to guide you to true
guidance and goodness, and to help you to fear Him in word and deed.
You have done well by wishing to learn and in your eagerness to find
out the truth. We ask Allah to bless you with understanding of Islam.
Secondly:
If you know of some daa'iyahs (callers to Islam) and seekers of
knowledge who are trustworthy in terms of their knowledge and
methodology, who needsuch books in order to refute the Shi'ah and
point out how they are misguided, you could give these books to them,
so long as they aresafe from their evil and can make use of them in
calling people to the right way.
If you are not able to do that, then you can destroy them by
burningthem, burying them or cutting them up in such a way as to
obscure verses of the Qur'aan and names of Allah, and if some words
remain visible that does not matter. You could use a paper shredder
for this purpose.
Please see also the answer to question no. 5390
Thirdly:
What you are facing of waswaas (whispers fromthe Shaytaan) is
something ordinary that happens to believers; you should not be
worried or distracted by it, but you have to try to get rid of it by
doing thefollowing:
1. Seeking refuge withAllah and seeking His help
2. Remembering Allah and trying to control your thoughts so that
you can put a stop to these whispers
3. Focusing strongly on worship and following the commandsof
Allah, seeking His pleasure thereby. When you focus completely on
worship in a serious andreal manner, you will forget about the
distraction of these whispers, in sha Allah.
4. Turning to Allah a great deal and calling upon Him in du'aa',
asking Him to heal you from this problem.
Please see also the answer to question no. 12315
Fourthly:
Du'aa' (supplication) is of two types:
1. Du'aa' in the sense of worship. What is meant is that a person
worships Allah, may He be exalted, persistently with any kind of
worship, in the heart, byphysical actions or in financial terms.
2. Du'aa' in the sense of asking, which is asking to be given that
which is of benefit or forthat which is harmful to be warded off. In
other words it is asking Allah, may He be exalted, for that which will
benefit one in this world and in the Hereafter, and to ward off that
which will harm him in this world and in the Hereafter.
This is something that believers and non-believers have in common.
Please see the answer to question no. 113177
Fifthly:
The supplication of the disbelievers, if it is a supplication to
someoneother than Allah, such as the supplication of the Christians to
their object of worship the Messiah (peace be upon him) or to the
Virgin Mary, or thesupplication of idol worshippers to their idols, is
a supplication based on misguidance that will not bring any benefit;
rather it will be a cause of punishment for them in the Hereafter,
because it is associating others with Allah, may He be exalted.
Allah, may He be exalted,says (interpretation of the meaning):
"For Him (Alone) is the Word of Truth (i.e. none has the right to be
worshipped but He). Andthose whom they (polytheists and disbelievers)
invoke, answer them no more than one who stretches forth his hand (at
the edge of a deep well) for water to reach his mouth, but it reaches
him not, and the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but an
error (i.e. of no use)"
[ar-Ra 'd 13:14].
Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his Tafseer (2/785):
What is meant is that just as the one who stretches forth his hand to
the water, either to take some of it from a distance will not benefit
from the water that doesnot reach his mouth, similarly these
mushrikeen who worship another god alongside Allah will never benefit
from that in this world or in the Hereafter. End quote.
Sixthly:
The supplication of the disbelievers to Allah maybe answered
sometimes,for reasons such as establishing proof against the
disbelievers or to prove their disbelief, denial and stubbornness; or
to restore justice to those among them who have been wronged, because
Allah enjoins justice and forbids injustice; or because He has
guaranteed to provide for them in this world, so if they ask Him for
provision He grants it to them; or to manifest His kindness,
generosity andblessing to all people.
Allah, may He be exalted,says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And when harm touches you upon the sea, those that you call upon
besides Him vanishfrom you except Him (Allah Alone). But when He
brings you safely to land, you turn away (from Him). And man is ever
ungrateful"
[al-Isra' 17:67].
"Say (O Muhammad SAW): Who rescues you from the darkness of theland
and the sea (dangers like storms), when you call upon Him in humility
and in secret (saying): If He (Allah) only saves us from this
(danger), we shall truly be grateful.
Say (O Muhammad SAW): Allah rescues you from it and from all (other)
distresses, and yet you worship others besides Allah"
[al-An'aam 6: 63-64]
"Is not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the distressed one,
when he calls Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors
of the earth, generations after generations. Is there any ilah (god)
withAllah? Little is that you remember!"
[an-Naml 27:62]
"And He gave you of all that you asked for, and if you count the
Blessings of Allah, never will you be able to countthem. Verily! Man
is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, - a disbeliever (an extreme ingrate,
denies Allah's Blessings by disbelief, and by worshipping others
besides Allah, andby disobeying Allah and His Prophet Muhammad SAW)"
[Ibraaheem 14:34].
The apparent meaning of these verses indicates that the fact that
Allah answers some of the prayers of the disbelievers is to prove
their disbelief and denial, and to establish proof against them, or to
manifest His mercy, grace and kindness by helping those who are in
desperate need and saving those who are in distress.
The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
said: "Fear the prayer of the oppressed, even if he is a disbeliever,
for there isno barrier (between it and Allah)."
Narrated by Ahmad, 12140; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh
at-Targheeb wa't-Tarheeb, 2231
This indicates that Allah responds to the prayer of the disbeliever
who iswronged, because Allah enjoins justice and forbids injustice,
and He restores justice to those who are wronged even if they are
disbelievers, because His justice is perfect.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said in Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 1/206:
All of mankind, both believers and disbelievers, ask of Allah and
Allah may answer the supplication of the disbeliever. If the
disbelievers ask Allah forprovision, He grants them provision and
water. If harm touches them at sea, they will turn to no one except
Him. Then when He brings them safely to land, they turn away andman is
ever ungrateful. End quote.
He also said in Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 1/233:
With regard to answering the prayers of those who ask, in general
terms Allah answers the supplicationof the one who is in distress and
of the one who is wronged, even if he is a disbeliever. End quote.
Seventhly:
The fact that Allah answers the supplicationof the disbelievers does
not imply that He loves them or that He supportsor honours them, or
thatHe is pleased with their religion and beliefs. Rather that might
be part of letting them get carried away (in their misguidance) and
hastening good things for them in this world sothat they may taste the
punishment in the Hereafter. Allah, may He be glorified and
exalted,does not love the disbelievers and is not pleased with them or
their disbelief.
Ibn al-Qayyim said in Ighaathat al-Lahfaan, 1/13:
Not everyone whose supplication Allah answers has attained Hispleasure
or love, nor is He pleased with his actions. He may answer the prayers
of the righteous and evildoers, believers and disbelievers.
Many people offer supplication in which they overstep the mark, or
stipulate conditions, or ask for things for which it is not
permissible to ask. Then they get that or some of it, and they think
that their actions are righteous and pleasing to Allah, but they are
in the same position as onewho is given abundant wealth and children
so that he might get carried away (in his misguidance), whilst he
thinks that Allah is hastening to give him allgood things. But Allah,
may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded,
We opened tothem the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the
midst of their enjoyment in that whichthey were given, all of a
sudden, We took them to punishment, and lo! They were plunged into
destruction with deep regrets and sorrows."
[al-An'aam 6:44].
Supplication may be an act of worship for whichthe one who does it
will be rewarded, or it may be asking to have one's needs met but that
may be harmful to the individual: either he will be punished as a
result of what he gets or he will be lowered in status,so he gets his
needs met but is punished for neglecting his duties or overstepping
the mark. End quote.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said in Iqtida' as-Siraat al-Mustaqeem, p. 89
Not everyone to whom Allah grants provision and help, whether in
response to his supplication or otherwise, is among those whom Allah
loves and helps; rather He, may He be glorified, grants provision to
believers and disbelievers, righteous and evildoers. He may answer
their supplication to give them what they ask for in this world, but
they have no share of the hereafter.
The scholars stated that some disbelievers who were Christians
besiegeda Muslim city and their water ran out, so they asked the
Muslims to give them some fresh water and they would lift the siege
from them. The Muslim leaders discussed the matter andsaid, rather we
should leave them until thirst has weakened them, then we can defeat
them. Then the Christians prayed for rain and asked Allah to give them
water, and He answered their prayer. Some of the common people were
confused, so the king said to one of the scholars: Say something to
explain thesituation to the people. So he issued instructionsthat a
minbar be set up for him and he said: O Allah, we know that these are
among those whose provision You have guaranteed, as Yousay
(interpretation of the meaning): "And no (moving) living creature is
there on earth but its provision is due from Allah" [Hood 11:6]. They
called upon You in distress, and You answerthe one who is in distress
when he calls upon You. You granted them rain, because You have
guaranteed their provision and because they called upon You in
distress, not because Youlove them or because You love their religion.
Now we want to see a sign that will make faith steadfast in the hearts
ofYour believing slaves. So Allah sent against them (the enemy) a wind
that destroyed them, and so on.
Under this heading also comes one who may offer supplication but
overstep the mark in doing so, either by asking for that which is not
appropriate or by offering supplication in which there is disobedience
towards Allah, whether it be by associating others with Him (shirk) or
otherwise.Then if he gets some of what he wanted, he think that this
is an indication that his deed was righteous. He is like the one who
is given abundant wealth and sons so that might get carried away (in
his misguidance), so he thinks that good things have been hastened for
him. But Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"Do they think that We enlarge them in wealth and children,
We hasten unto them with good things (in thisworldly life so that they
will have no share of good things in the Hereafter)? Nay, but
theyperceive not"
[al-Mu'minoon 23:55].
Eighthly:
When Allah answers some of the supplications of the disbelievers, it
takes the form of fulfilling some oftheir wishes with regardto worldly
matters.
But when Allah answers the supplication of the Muslim, one of three
things happen: either heis given what he asked for, or an equivalent
evilis diverted from him, or it (the reward for the supplication) is
stored up for him in the Hereafter.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "There
isno Muslim who offers supplication in which there is no sin or
severing of ties of kinship, but Allah will give him one of three
things in return for it: either what he asked forwill be hastened for
him,or (reward) will be stored up for him in the Hereafter or an
equivalent evil will be diverted from him."
Narrated by Ahmad, 10749; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
Mishkaatal-Masaabeeh, 2199
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Fath al-Baari, 11/95:
Everyone who offers supplication receives a response, but the response
may vary. Sometimes he will get exactly what he asked for, and
sometimes he will be compensated (with something equivalent). There
are saheeh hadeeths which speak of that.And Allaah knows best.
