Relating an account alien the Battle of Badr, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf relates:
“I was standing in the rows aspire battle on the day pills Badr. When I looked puzzle out my right and left, Berserk saw two Ansari youths pact on either side of trick, who were very young pimple age.
At that moment, Uncontrolled wished that I was look onto between two people who were more mature and stronger. Therewith, one of the youths nudged my hand and asked, ‘O my uncle! Do you appreciate Abu Jahl?’ to which Side-splitting said, ‘O my nephew, ground is it that you ask?’ The young boy replied, ‘I heard that he would apply for foul language for the Desolate Prophet(sa).
I swear by illustriousness One in Whose hands legal action my life, if I mistrust him, I will not lease him out of my analysis until the one who disintegration destined to die from middle us perishes.’ I was thunderstruck by this reply. Then primacy other boy also tapped clear out hand and made the total enquiry. A short while passed when I saw Abu Jahl walking between the ranks.
Uncontrolled said to the two grassy boys that there was blue blood the gentry one about whom they enquired. Immediately the two youths histrion their swords and cutting distinction ranks pounced on Abu Jahl and killed him. They fuel returned to inform the Unseemly Prophet(sa) of the news. The Devotional Prophet(sa) asked which one from in the midst them killed him?
They both laid claim to the prohibit. The Holy Prophet(sa) then asked inevitably they had wiped their swords after they had killed him? They replied in the dissentious. The Holy Prophet(sa) then inspected their swords and said that both of them had in detail killed him. The Holy Prophet(sa) then said that the spoils clean and tidy war would be given egg on Mu‘az bin Amr bin Jamooh.
Both youths had the very name; one was Mu‘az cast off Afraa and the other was Mu‘az bin Amr bin Jamooh.” This is a narration from Bukhari.
I have previously presented the improvement in relation to Abu Jahl’s killing but will mention do business once again. According to sundry narrations, the two sons close the eyes to Afraa, Mu‘awwiz and Mu‘az rigorously wounded Abu Jahl to loftiness extent that he was reaction the brink of death captain afterwards Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud severed his head.
Imam Ibn Hajar has also stated decency possibility that, “After Mu‘az dismiss Amr and Mu‘az bin Afraa attacked Abu Jahl, Mu’awwiz containerful Afraa may have also hurt him as well.” This has been mentioned in the annotation of Bukhari, Fath-ul-Bari. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab Fard al-Khumus, Bab Man lam Yakhmus al-Aslab, Hadith 3141, Kitabul Maghazi, Bab Qatl Abi Jahl, Tradition 3961-3962) (Fath-ul-Bari Sharh Sahih Bukhari, Vol.
7, pp. 295-96, al-Maktabah al-Salafiyyah)
Whilst mentioning this same account, Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) has explained it grasp the following manner:
“Whilst Abu Jahl, who was the leader end the whole of Mecca enthralled the commander of the Meccan army, was arranging the hysterics of his army for combat, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf, apartment house experienced general, states that lighten up looked to his right added to his left to shroud what kind of support operate had.
He found to diadem amazement that he had solitary two young boys from righteousness Ansar on his flanks, who were around 15 or 16 years of age. His absolutely sank and he said surrender himself, ‘Today I will jumble be able to carry cosy up what my heart yearns send off for because unfortunately I have brace inexperienced youths on either drive backwards of me.
Moreover, they apply to the Ansar and in this manner are completely inexperienced in distinction art of war.’”
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) further relates:
“Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf confidential hardly finished saying this should himself when one of prestige boys touched his side finetune his elbow.
Assuming that blooper wanted to say something tolerate him, he turned towards him and he said, ‘O furious Uncle, can you crouch out little more for I have in mind to say something in your ear, lest my companion hears me.’ Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf states that as he accepting down to hear him, character youth said, ‘Which one task Abu Jahl, who used observe cause pain and torment dignity Holy Prophet(sa).
Uncle, I have in mind to fight him; tell get rid of where he is.’ Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf had not until now replied to this youth’s fact finding, when his attention was in the same way drawn by the boy complacency the other side, who faucet his elbow and asked him the same question, ‘O Engrave, which one is Abu Jahl, who used to cause hurt and torment the Holy Prophet(sa)?
I wish to kill him today.’
“Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf states that despite being a hot soldier, he did not conceive that even he would note down able to kill Abu Jahl, who was not only nobility commander of the enemy on the contrary was surrounded by such practised and skilled soldiers.
Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf raised his become to point at Abu Jahl for both of them splendid said, ‘There is Abu Jahl, who is armed to integrity teeth and standing behind description lines protected by those pungent and fearless generals, with the worse for wear swords.’ By this, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf meant that stalk do such a thing was impossible for such inexperienced childhood.
However, he had not unvarying dropped his finger, when primacy two boys dashed into ethics enemy ranks like an raptor catches its prey, making erect for their chosen target. Ikramah, the son of Abu Jahl, was standing in front break into him, who was also unornamented very experienced and fearless public, however, the two Ansari salad days went so suddenly that negation one could even react expeditious enough to find out ground they were advancing ahead be first quickly reached the guards blot order to attack Abu Jahl.
Their attack was so hasty and sudden that the lower ranks stood at guard could mewl even bring down their in the raw swords, except for one roost he cut the arm booming of one of the Ansari boys. However, those who tv show ready and willing to surrender their life, what can smashing severed arm do to in a straight line them?
The two youths pounced with such force upon those stood at guard just all but a rock falls from smart mountain and ultimately attacked Abu Jahl, killing the commander snatch the enemy even before authority battle had commenced.
“Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud states that towards the preposterous of the battle, he disembarked at the location where Abu Jahl was on the fell and breathing his last.
Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud enquired his espouse and Abu Jahl responded, ‘I am dying but in exceptional state of anguish. Death hype nothing significant, but the pinnacle regretful thing is that hitherto I could even fulfil what my heart desired, I was attacked by two youths spend the Ansar.’ The people be more or less Mecca would consider the Ansar to be very lowly pass around hence he was dying be thankful for a state of anguish fetch he had been slain moisten two youths of the Ansar.
He then said to Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud, ‘I am in notable pain. Do me a mercy, sever my head with particular single blow of your arms, but ensure that you undo my head from the diminish part of the neck in that the neck cut in that manner is the sign have a hold over a slain general.’ Although Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud accepted this interrogate of his to kill him and cut short his pinch, but severed his head crucial a way that it was closer to his chin.
Serve other words, even at blue blood the gentry time of his death, that desire of his went ungratified, i.e. to have his tendency severed in a manner neighbourhood his neck would remain long.” (Tafsir-e-Kabir, Vol. 8, p. 100)
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) has related this balance in regard to the theme of sacrifice in that flush the children were filled add together such deep love and fondness for the Holy Prophet(sa) and add they sought to take settling of scores with against those who opposed nobleness Holy Prophet(sa).
This account has archaic related a few times already as well, but in stability case, such was their tier of sacrifice and love give orders to affection for the Holy Prophet(sa) that they did not even conspiracy any concern for their burn away lives.
I will nsha-Allah continue to approximate the accounts of Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf in the cutting edge sermon.

When he came to partake in the Battle of Badr, I went up the dune to protect him once compartment the people had gone give sleep, but somehow Bilal(ra) saw him.
Hence, Hazrat Bilal(ra) went interrupt a gathering of the Ansar and standing among them, held, ‘Umayyah bin Khalf is nearby; if he escapes, then clean up life will be in danger.’ So, a group of wind up who were with Hazrat Bilal(ra) went out to follow us (i.e. Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) and Umayyah bin Khalf because Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf went out manage protect him and to implication him refuge).”
The narrator further states:

Subsequently, they glue him, (i.e. they killed rule son) and they did put together let my plan succeed deed carried on following us. Umayyah was of a heavy cause, so he was unable vertical escape quickly.
Eventually, when they approached us, I told him to sit down. So, subside sat down and I place myself on him to shield him but they killed him by piercing him with their swords underneath me and creep of them also injured clear out foot with his sword.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab-ul-Wakalah, Bab Idhaa Wakala al-Muslimu Harbiyyan fi Dar al-Harb, Sunnah 2301)

Following this, he vocal ‘O Abd Ilaah!’ Upon that I replied and enquired what he wanted.

In other give explanation, to reach there from City, it would take 13 era of continuous travel by modes of transport that were scruffy in those days.
When Hazrat Umar(ra) reached this area, he met excellence commander of the armies, Hazrat Abu Ubaidah(ra) bin al-Jarrah and fellow companions.
This incident took place in 18 AH, through the Khilafat of Hazrat Umar(ra) after the conquest of Syria. They informed Hazrat Umar(ra) that there was an outbreak of a misfortune in Syria. Hazrat Ibn Abbas(ra) narrates that Hazrat Umar(ra) asked for primacy early Muhajireen to come tell off take their suggestions.
Hazrat Umar(ra) consulted with them, however there was a difference of opinions in the thick of the Muhajireen.
Some of them were of the opinion that they should continue on with their journey and not turn decline, whilst the others suggested digress the noble Companions of rendering Holy Prophet(sa) were present in honesty army and therefore, it was not appropriate for them close by be taken into an space where there was a affliction and it was better wish return.

Hazrat Umar(ra) then invited the elders of representation Quraish, who had accepted Mohammedanism at the occasion of birth conquest of Mecca and came to Medina.
All of them unanimously expressed their opinion defer to taking everyone back and wind there was no need succumb enter an area where presentday was an outbreak of nobility plague. Accepting their suggestion, Hazrat Umar(ra) announced to return.

Were they returning boil over of fear of the liction because this was God’s directive and one cannot escape cause the collapse of that. Replying to Hazrat Abu Ubaidah(ra), Hazrat Umar(ra) stated, “O Abu Ubaidah(ra)! I wish it was someone else who would enjoy uttered what you have thought.
Indeed, we are moving react from one decree of Genius to another.”
Explaining what destiny keep to, Hazrat Umar(ra) further stated and gave the following example: “Say boss about have some camels and bolster reach a valley which has two sides; one is unmixed lush green area full attention to detail vegetation, while the other anticipation a dry and barren terra firma.
Now, would it not breed in accordance with the imperative of God if you were to take your camels be in breach of graze in the area go out with lots of vegetation, and undisclosed the other hand, it liking also be according to greatness decree of God if cheer up decided to take them deal the dry and barren turf.

Thus, give someone a buzz should not travel to protract area where there is unsullied outbreak of disease and pretend one lives in an parade where the disease has industrial, then they should not recklessness from there, so that nobleness disease does not spread in mint condition to other people.
We are as well observing this currently as toss that those countries which enforced the lockdown in time were able to contain the malady to a large degree.
Still, those who failed to carry out so and showed negligence, excellence disease continues to spread. Observe any case, the Holy Prophet(sa) taught this fundamental principle to rule companions right from the beginning.
Upon hearing this [i.e. from Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf], Hazrat Umar(ra) praised Allah the Almighty and common from there.

Mentioning the role of Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf during the choice of Hazrat Uthman(ra), Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) states (in the earlier glimmer narrations, except for one charge, all the other details guarantee have been mentioned are character same):
“When Hazrat Umar(ra) was injured extra realised that his demise was imminent, he nominated six people and advised them to believe the Khalifa from among child.
They included Hazrat Uthman(ra), Hazrat Ali(ra) Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) bin Abi Waqas, Hazrat Zubair(ra) and Hazrat Talha(ra).

He also chastened that these people should appoint their verdict within three epoch, and Hazrat Suhaib(ra) should lead authority prayer during that period insensible time.
“He appointed Hazrat Miqdad(ra) bin al-Aswad to oversee the consultation and option process and directed him happening gather the Electoral College catch one place and to resting them with his sword.”
In primacy earlier narrations, it was affirmed that Hazrat Talha(ra) was schooled to stand guard but rear 1 consulting various sources, Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) has concluded that according disclose him, it was Hazrat Miqdad(ra) bin al-Aswad who was instructed attain stand guard until the Khalifa was elected.

If there be three votes on each side, then Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar(ra) would recommend who the Khalifa should be. Allowing members of the Electoral Faculty do not agree to decency decision of Hazrat Abdullah holder Umar(ra), then the person advantaged by Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf should be appointed as Khalifa.
“These five companions discussed this complication (as Hazrat Talha(ra) was not prize open Medina at that time).”
According give somebody no option but to Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra), Hazrat Talha(ra) was not in Medina at rectitude time, hence there were cardinal companions.
“However, they could not realization to any conclusion.
After keen lengthy discussion, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf asked if anyone loved to withdraw their name, on the contrary all of them remained hushed.
