The First Believer, Shafiyah bint Huyai

The First Believers Shafiyah bint Huyai had a noble lineage. He is a nobleman Bani Nadhir, the descendant of Prophet Harun aih alaihissalam. This means that if the nasab line is drawn, Moses ‘alaihissalam counted as his uncle. The virtue is more complete because the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam was her husband.

Nasab

He is Shafiyah bint Huyai bin Akhtab bin Shu’ah bin Ubaid bin Ka’ab bin al-Khazraj bin Abi Hubaib ibn Nadhir bin an-Niham bin Tahum of the Children of Israel who included the grandson of the Prophet Harun bin Imran ‘alaihissalam. His mother is Barrah binti Samau-al.

Ummah Mu’minin Shafiyah was born in 9 years before hijrah and died 50 H. The year of birth and death coincided with 613 AD and 670 AD

Before marrying the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alahi wa sallam, Shafiyah’s mother was married to Sallam bin Misykam. He is a poet. Then Sallam divorced him. Next he married Kinanah bin Abu Huqaiq who was also a poet. In those days, poets held a noble position. They are counted as clever scholars. And his last husband was killed in the Khaibar War (Ibn Abdil Bar: al-Isti’ab, 4/1871 and Tabari’s Muhibbuddin: as-Simthu ats-Tsamin Hal: 201).

Those Who Hate the Rabbani Treatise

Ummah of the Faithful Shafiyah radhiallahu ha anha was a nobleman Bani Quraizhah and Bani an-Nadhir. His father, Huyai bin Akhtab, was both a Jewish figure and their cleric. The father knew that Muhammad bin Abdullah was an end-time prophet. He knew exactly since the first time the feet of the noble Prophet had landed on the land of Yathrib (the name of Medina in the past). But he is arrogant and rejects the truth. Because of what? Because the prophet came from Arabia not from children descended from Israel (Prophet Ya’qub).

The situation of Ummul Mukmini Shafiyah’s father, he immediately told himself. He said, “There is not one of my father’s and uncle’s children who both love me more than me. None of the children both made them happy, except he involved me with him. When the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam arrived at Quba -perkampungan Banu Amr bin Auf-, my father and uncle, Abu Yasir bin Akhtab, came to see him in the early morning. For God’s sake, they just came home to meet us when the sun disappeared. Both of them came with a withered, weak expression, and the road was strangled sluggishly. I tried to make them happy as I usually do. For God’s sake, neither of them cared even if they just turned to me. I heard my uncle, Abu Yasir, spoke to my father, “Is he really the prophet? “Yes, for God’s sake,” answered father. “You recognize him from the characteristics and signs?” Asked uncle again. “Yes, for God’s sake,” my father gave the same answer. “Then how are you going to be with him?” Asked uncle. Father replied, “For God’s sake, hostility while I’m still alive.”

Moses bin Uqbah az-Zuhri told that when the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam in Medina, Abu Yasir bin Akhtab came to see him. He heard his words. After that, he returned to his people and said, “Obey me. Surely God has brought you someone you have been waiting for. Follow him! Don’t you sideline it. “

Then Huyai bin Akhtab, who was the leader of the Jews, immediately moved to meet the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. He sat down and heard the Prophet’s words. After that go home to his people. Huyai is an adherent. He said, “I have come to meet the man. For God’s sake, I will always be hostile to him forever. “

Abu Yasir said, “Hi, my uncle’s son, come with me on this matter. Besides this matter, please not with me as you please. You will not perish. “

Huyai replied, “No! For the sake of Allah! I will not obey you. “He was ruled by Satan. And his people followed his views (Ibn Hisham: as-Sirah an-Nabawiyah 1 / 519-520 and Ibn Kathir: as-Sirah an-Nabawiyah 2/298).

Most beautiful wedding

Since the Prophet arrived in Medina, the Khaibar Jews have unanimously rejected the peaceful invitation. The impasse cannot be broken except by war. The war broke out between the two groups which were finally won by Muslims.

When the prisoners were gathered, Dihyah bin Khalifah al-Kalbi met the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. He said, “O Messenger of Allah, give me a slave girl from this prisoner.” The Prophet responded, “Please. Take a slave girl. “In the midst of the Angel Gabriel likes to like him, choose Shafiyah bint Huyai.

Then someone came to see the Prophet. He said, “O Prophet of Allah, you have given Dihyah a Shafiyah bint Huyai. A figure of Banu Quraizah and Banu Nadhir. Women who are not worthy of anyone but you. Then the Prophet said, “Call Dihyah together with Shafiyah.” He also came carrying Shafiyah. When the Prophet saw Shafiyah, he said to Dihyah, “Choose a female prisoner other than herself.”

On another occasion, the Prophet sallallaahu aih alaihi wa sallam ordered Bilal to bring Shafiyah. When they were about to meet the Prophet, Bilal brought Shafiyah through the road which had many victims of war. The Prophet did not like what Bilal did. He said, “Have you lost your love for yourself, Bilal?”

The Prophet offered Shafiyah to embrace Islam. He also chose Islam. Then the Prophet married her (after the prayer period was over). His release as a prisoner is his marriage dowry. When looking at him, the Prophet saw a bruise on Shafiyah’s face. He asked, “What is this?” Shafiyah replied, “Before your arrival, I dreamed as if the moon had disappeared from its place and entered my house. For God’s sake, at that time I didn’t mention you at all. Then I told the husband my dream. He also slapped me. “He said,” You expect the ruler of Medina! “(Ibnul Qayyim: Zadul Ma’ad, 3/291)

One of the lessons from the multiplication of the wife of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam is social factors. That is helping and maintaining the feelings of people who are married. Islam maintains one’s position. With Islam their position does not fall, even more noble. Who is noble before embracing Islam, the more noble his position with Islam. Likewise the state of the Believers Shafiyah bint Huyai radhiallahu ‘anha. He is a noble woman before embracing Islam. A leader of his people. Daughter of the head of the tribe. And the wife of a noble too. After he embraced Islam, this noble religion still maintained his position. Maintain his feelings. Allah married him to the most noble man in the midst of the Muslims, the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam.

The Prophet glorified Shafiyah

The Messenger of Allah was a gentle and loving person to his wives, including to the Ummah of the Believers Shafiyah radhiallahu ‘anha. One day, it arrived at Shafiyah’s ears that the Prophet’s wife, Hafah binti Umar, called it a daughter of a Jew. Shafiyah cried. At the same time the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam came to see him and saw him crying. He asked, “What makes you cry?” He replied, “Hafah binti Umar told me that I was the daughter of a Jew.” The Prophet said to him, “Surely you are the daughter of a prophet. Your uncle is a prophet. And you are in the shade of a prophet. How are you not proud of that? “Then he said to Hafsha,” O Hafshah, fear Allah. “(Tabari Muhibbuddin: as-Shimthu ats-Tsamin p. 207).

Shafiyah the daughter of a prophet was the one who arrived at Prophet Aaron. So that Prophet Aaron counted as his father. And Prophet Aaron is the brother of Prophet Moses. So he has a prophet uncle too. About under the auspices of the prophet. That means your husband who shelves you is a prophet.

One day the Prophet sallallaahu aih alaihi wasallam beri’tikaf at the mosque. Prophet with his wives. When they left, the Prophet said to Shafiyah bint Huyay, “Don’t hurry home. I’ll take you. “Shafiyah’s house is in the place of Usamah. The Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam came out with Shafiyah. On the road, the Prophet met two Ansar men. Both looked at the Prophet sallallaahu ahu alaihi wasallam for a moment then continued to walk. He sallallaahu aih alaihi wasallam said to both, “Come here, this is Shafiyah bint Huyay”. So both said, “Exalted be Allah, O Messenger of Allah”. Then he sallallaahu aih alaihi wasallam said, “Surely the shetan runs on mankind through the bloodstream and I am worried that a feeling has arisen in both of you.” (Narrated by Al-Bukhari No. 1897 Kitab I’tikaf)

Die

Ummah Believers Shafiyah bint Huyai radhiallahu ha anha died in 50 H / 670 AD in the reign of Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan radhiallahu ‘anhu. And he was buried in Baqi Cemetery ‘(Ibn Hajar: Tadzhib at-Tadzhib, 12/380).

Mother of the Faithful Ramlah bint Abu Sufyan (Umm Habibah)

Umm Habibah is a woman who is married to the Prophet from a distance. Rasulullah in Medina, while he was in Africa, in Habasyah. How can? Check out the following story.

Nasab

As we know, in Arabic the names that previously contained the words Ummu, Abu, Ibn, and bintu are called kun-yah. Likewise with Umm Habibah. This is chewing not a name. His name is Ramlah bint Abu Sufyan (Shakhr) bin Harb bin Umayyah ibn Abdusy Syams bin Abdu Manaf al-Umawiyah. He was born 25 years before hijrah. And died in 44 H.

His mother was Shafiyah bint Abi al-Ash bin Umayyah. His mother was the aunt of the Caliph Uthman ibn Affan radhiallahu ‘anhu.

Migrate

Umm Habibah moved with her husband, Ubaidullah bin Jahsy, to Habasyah on the second hijrah. It was there that he gave birth to a child named Habibah. But unfortunately, the husband apostatized and embraced Christianity while on earth hijrah Habasyah. Of course this is a big disaster for Umm Habibah. He is overseas. Foreign countries are far from relatives. When he returned to Mecca’s hometown, he was under threat. His father did not accept his Islam. Now he is truly alone after his husband lapsed. But he remained firm with his Islam (Ibn Sayyid an-Nas: Uyun al-Atsar, 2/389).

In Habasyah, Umm Habibah dreamed of a strange dream. Then this dream came true. He said, “In my dream I saw my husband Ubaidullah bin Jahsy looks very bad looking. I feel scared. From there the situation changed. In the morning my husband said, ‘Hi Umm Habibah, really I have never seen a better religion than Christianity. In the past, I embraced this religion. After that I embraced Muhammad’s religion. Now I’m back to being a Christian. I told him, “For God’s sake, there is no good for you.” I told him about my dream. But he doesn’t care. Finally he became a khamr addict until his death.

Position and Virtue

From the nasab side, Umm Habibah was a Quraysh woman who connected her nasab with the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam to Abdu Manaf. And no one of his wives he married remotely like Umm Habibah (Adz-Dzahabi: Siyar A’lam an-Nubala 2/219).

Another position, he was the daughter of a great figure in Mecca and its leader, Abu Sufyan bin Harb. Of course his Islam is very risky for him and embarrasses his father. He knows that embracing Islam is like offering yourself to great danger. Undoubtedly, he must have made his father angry. That’s why he traveled a long and tiring journey with his husband to Africa far away. Move to Habasyah. The weight of the hijrah was felt even more because at that time he was pregnant with his child, Habibah (Ibn Saad: ath-Thabaqat al-Kubra 8/97). This is the struggle in the way of God. Proving sincerity and the depth of his faith in Allah Ta’ala.

The test for him didn’t stop there. On the overseas, the husband apostates. And died in a state of suul khatimah. Kufur embraced Christianity. However heavy he felt, he remained strong. His kufr father, her apostate husband, his days of solitude did not shake his image.

Good news

On another occasion, Umm Habibah dreamed again. But the dream this time is a beautiful dream. There was someone who came to him and said, “O Ummah Believers.” I was shocked. And kutakwil dream that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam invited me. After the end of my iddah, a messenger arrived at Ndasyi at the door. Request permission to meet. Apparently it was her slave girl whose name was Abraha. He was the one who took care of an-Najasyi’s clothes and oiled himself. He entered my house and said, “The king advised you,” Indeed, the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam wrote me a letter to marry you to him. ‘ God gives you such good tidings, “continued the slave. He continued, “The king said to you to appoint the person who represents you to marry you off.” Um Habibah sent Khalid bin Said bin al-Ash. He represented himself with Khalid. Then he gave Abraha two silver bracelets and two jewelry worn on his feet. And also the silver install was pinned to his toes. It is a form of gratitude for the good news he brings.

When it arrived in the afternoon, an-Najasyi ruled Ja’far bin Abu Talib to invite the Muslims to attend this wedding reception. An-Najasyi preached, “All praise is to God. The Lord, the Holy One, the Giver of salvation, the Most Gracious, the Guardian, the Mighty, and the Strong. I bear witness that there is no true worship except Allah. And Muhammad is His servant and messenger. He was the one reported by Isa bin Maryam. Amma ba’du. Indeed the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam wrote a letter to me to marry him to Umm Habibah bint Abu Sufyan. I also fulfilled the appeal of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. And I give 400 Dinars. Then I leave the Dinars to a group of people. “

Khalid bin Saad turned to speak, “All praise is to Allah. I praise Him, ask Him, and ask for His help. I bear witness not as true worshipers except God, there is no ally for Him. And I testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. He sent it with instructions and true religion. So that the religion wins compared to other religions. Even though it made the idolaters hate. Amma ba’du. I have fulfilled the appeal of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. And he married me with Umm Habibah bint Abu Sufyan. May the blessings of Allah for the Messenger of Allaah be upon him, peace be upon him.

A number of the Dinars were handed over to Khalid bin Saad. Then he hugged him. Feeling the event was over, the guests began to leave. Khalid said, “Sit down. Indeed, among the sunnah of the prophets when they were married, they gave food dishes “. He also invited them to eat. Meals are eaten. After that, they go home.

Umm Habibah said, “When the dowry arrived in my hand, I gave it to Abraha who gave me good news. I told him, pernah I’ve given you what I gave at that time. Even though at that time, I didn’t have a penny. There are fifty scholars (a number of assets). Take it and use it. ‘ He refused the treasure. Every time I give him, he always returns it to me. He said, ‘The king told me not to accept any of you. And I’m the one who takes care of his clothes and fragrances. Indeed, I have followed the religion of Muhammad the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him). And I have surrendered (to Islam) to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. The king instructs his wives to send you the fragrances they have. ‘

Umm Habibah said, “The next day I came to Gaharu, Waros, perfume seeds, zabbad (a type of fragrance). I put all that to the Messenger of Allah. He saw it and did not deny it. “

Abraha said, “My wish to you is only that you deliver greetings from me to the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam. Tell him that I have followed his religion. “Said Umm Habibah, Abraha always did good and served him. Every time he met Umm Habibah, he always reminded, “Don’t forget you convey my wishes.”

Umm Habibah said, “When I met the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam, I told him about the process of application and all the good deeds of Abraha to me. He smiled. And I convey greetings from him to him. The Prophet answered,

وَعَلَيْهَا السَّلامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

“For him also salvation, mercy, and blessings from Allah.” (Ibn Saad: ath-Thabaqat al-Kubra, 8 / 97-98).

Wedding Lessons

The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam married Umm Habibah in the 7th year H. He married him for glorifying him and affirming his religion. We know how Umm Habibah lived. The ordeal of the father, husband, and circumstances have forged it. Not a few women who firmly hold onto the truth fell weak when her husband, who was originally a soldier, turned back. But not with Umm Habibah. He emigrated with his son. Feeling sad to leave the husband in a situation he desperately needed. The parents who should be the place to complain – after God – cannot be counted on. He lived alone in a place miles away from his hometown. But he remained patient with his situation. Stay firm in holding on to his religion. Then God comforted him by marrying him to His Messenger sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. And make it the mother of those who believe.

Pay attention! How was the attention of the Prophet sallallaahu aih alaihi wa sallam towards the Muslims. Even though they were in a far country in Habasyah, he kept up with their news. Even news of their individual development. Among them about Umm Habibah. Rotating trials come to him. He remained firm with his faith and religion. He is patient. And Allah repaid his patience by marrying him to the best human that ever existed.

His love for the Prophet

It is reported that Abu Sufyan came to Medina. His arrival in order to lobby the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam to make peace. After they themselves, the Quraysh, canceled the Hudaibiyah Treaty. After the Prophet refused his request, Abu Sufyan tried another way. Namely lobbying the Prophet through his daughter who was the wife of the Prophet, Umm Habibah radhiallahu ha anha.

When Abu Sufyan was about to sit on the bed of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, Umm Habibah immediately folded it. Abu Sufyan said, “My daughter, (I don’t understand) is this bed not suitable for me (because you want better). Or am I not fit to sit on the bed? “Um Habibah said,” This is the mattress of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. While you are an unclean polytheist. I don’t like dad sitting on his bed the Prophet sallallaahu aih alaihi wa sallam. “Abu Sufyan said,” My daughter, you became evil after parting with me. “” (No) even God pointed me to Islam. And you – father father – are figures and magnates of Quraysh, how can you escape from embracing Islam. -As a big person- You even worship a rock that doesn’t hear also see ?! “Abu Sufyan went to leave his daughter (Ash-Shalihi ash-Syami: Subul al-Huda wa ar-Rasyad, 5/206).

The love of Umm Habibah radhiallahu ‘anha to the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam was also illustrated in the following history:

“O Messenger of Allah, marry my sister, daughter of Abu Sufyan.” The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam replied, “Are you happy about that?” Um Habibah replied, “Right, I don’t just want to be your wife, and I want my sister join me in obtaining goodness “. The Prophet sallallaahu aih alaihi wa sallam said, “Your sister is not lawful to me. Umm Habibah said, “We heard the news that you wanted to marry Abu Salamah’s daughter?” He said, “Abu Salamah’s daughter?” Um Habiibah replied, “Yes.” He said, “If he was not my stepdaughter in my care, he still did not lawfully marry me, because he was the daughter of my brother from an intercourse, that is, me and Abu Salamah were both breastfed by Tsuwaibah (Mawla Abu Lahab). Therefore, do not offer your daughter or sister to me. “(Narrated by Bukhari, no. 5101 and Muslim, no. 1449).

Some say that the word of Allah Ta’ala:

عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِينَ عَادَيْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ مَوَدَّةً قَدليرٌ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

“Hopefully Allah will cause affection between you and the people you oppose among them. And Allah is Almighty. And Allah is Forgiving, Most Merciful. “[Quran Al-Mumtahanah: 7].

This verse goes down related to Abu Sufyan. The Prophet married his daughter, Umm Habibah radhiallahu ha anha. Then it became the connecting rope of the relationship of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam with Abu Sufyan (Ibn Kathir: Interpretation of the Koran al-Azhim, 8/89).

After the Prophet’s death

After the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam died, Um Habibah remained the same person. He is still the old woman, who is firm in holding onto the truth. When the news of his father’s death came, he asked for perfume. (After being brought in), he rubbed it on his two hearts as he said, “Actually I didn’t need this perfume if I hadn’t heard the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam say,

لا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن تحد على ميت فوق ثلاث ليال, إلا على زوج أربعة أشهر وعشرا

“It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the last day of mourning for a minor more than three days, except for her husband, for four months and ten days.” (Narrated by Bukhari, no. 5335 and Muslim, no. 1491)

During his 33 years of continuing his life after the death of the Prophet sallallaahu aih alaihi wa sallam, Um Habibah passed many great events with the Muslims. When there was a catastrophe in the time of Uthman, the rebels became increasingly violent. Someone said, “If you meet one of the believers’ ummah. Hopefully they stop from Uthman. They met Umm Habibah bint Abu Sufyan. I (the narrator, Hasan al-Basri) saw that he was in the sack above Bagal (a white breed with a donkey). People took him to Uthman’s residence. But the rebels turned their heads. They refused. (Adz-Dzahabi: Siyar Alam an-Nubala, 4/569).

Umm Habibah radhiallahu ‘anha also kept good relations with her sisters and wives of the Prophet. From ‘Auf bin Al-Harith, he heard Ayesha radhiyallahu ha anha said,” Um Habibah once called me when he was about to die. He said, ‘Between us there must have been a problem. May Allah forgive me and you from whatever happened between us. “Ayesha also said,” God forgive you for all your mistakes and justify it all. “Um Habibah then said,” You have made me happy, may Allah also give you happiness. “Um Habibah also stated to Um Salamah like that too. (Ibn Saad: ath-Thabaqat al-Kubra, 8/100).

His death

Umm Habibah died in the city of Medina in 44 H. At that time he was 86 years old. He wa fat during the reign of his brother, Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan. May Allah bless them all (Ibn Hajar: al-Ishabah fi Tamyiz ash-Shahabah, 7/653).

People Who Are Not Afraid of Death

He is Sa’id bin Jubair, heir to the science of Abdullah bin Abbas radhiyallahu ‘anhu and Abdullah bin Umar radhiyallahu‘ anhu. One of the most pious in tabi’in circles. He was accompanied by Abdurrahman bin al-Ash’ats when fighting the government of the Caliph Abdul Malik bin Marwan because he was arbitrary and outrageous in committing murder. When Ibnul Asyats was defeated in the war of Dairul Jamajim and was killed, Sa’id was captured in Mecca. The Governor of Mecca who was then held by Khalid bin Abdullah al-Qasri who arrested him.

He was taken before Hajjaj bin Yusuf ats-Tsaqafi.

Then Hajjaj asked him, “What’s your name?”

He replied, “Sa’id bin Jubair.”

Hajjaj said, “No, you are Shaykh bin Kusair.”

He responded, “My mother knows my name better than you.”

Hajjaj added, “Woe to your mother and you too.”

He replied, “Who knows the unseen thing is not you.”

Hajjaj said, “Really, I will replace your world with a blazing fire.”

He said, “If I knew that, surely I would make you God.”

Hajjaj said, “What do you think about Muhammad?”

He replied, “He is a Prophet who brings compassion and leads him to those who receive guidance.”

Hajjaj continued, “What do you think about Ali? Is he in heaven or in hell? “

He replied, “If you have entered hell and you know who is in it, you must know the inhabitants of hell.” Hajjaj asked again, “What do you think about the caliphs?”

He replied, “I am not the person responsible for them.” Hajjaj continued, “Which of them do you like the most?”

He replied, “The person most loved by my Creator.”

Hajjaj asked, “Who is the person most loved by the Creator?”

He replied, “Knowledge about this is on the side of the One who knows the secrets and whispers of them.”

Hajjaj said, “I want you to be honest with me.”

He replied, “If I don’t answer your question, then I’m not lying to you. ‘

Hajjaj said, “Why aren’t you laughing?”

He replied, “How can you laugh a creature created from the ground while the ground can be engulfed in fire.”

Hajjaj said, “What about us who can laugh?”

He replied, “Because the human heart is not the same.”

Hajjaj wants to persuade Sa’id with the beauty and play of the world. Then he ordered that pearls, emeralds and gems be brought. All these objects were collected before him.

Sa’id said to Hajjaj, “If you gather all this so that you are protected from fear on the Day of Judgment, then it is good. If this is not the case, then this will become a terror where all women who breastfeed their children will be negligent towards their breastfed children. There is not the slightest good in something that is gathered only for the world except good treasures and zakah. “

Then Hajjaj told him to take a stringed instrument and a flute. When the harp was played and the flute was blown, Said cried, then Hajjaj asked, “What makes you cry? Is this music game? “

Said replied, “What makes me cry is sadness. The blow reminded me of a great day, namely the day the trumpet was blown. While the harp comes from a tree cut down without rights, the string of strings comes from goat skin which will be raised with him on the Day of Judgment. “

Then Hajjaj said, “Woe to you, Sa’id!”

He said, “There is no harm to people who are kept away from hell and put into heaven.”

Then Hajjaj said, “Choose Sa’id!” (Meaning, choose what way I kill you).

He replied, “It’s up to you, O Hajjaj! For God’s sake, You will not kill me but Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala will surely kill you in the same way in the hereafter. “

Hajjaj said, “Do you want me to forgive?”

He replied, “Surely forgiveness is from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, while you have no right to free and forgive.”

Hajjaj said to his soldiers, “Bring him away, then kill him.” When Said was taken out, he laughed. Then Hajjaj was told about this, then Sa’id was brought back again.

Hajjaj asked, “What makes you laugh?”

He replied, “I am amazed at your impudence towards Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala and His patience with you.”

Hajjaj said, “Kill him!”

Then you’ve said:

“Indeed, I confront myself with Rabb who created the heavens and the earth, by tending to the true religion, and I am not among the idolaters.” (QS. Al-An’am: 79)

Hajjaj said, “Face his face in addition to the Qibla direction.” Then Sa’id said:

“From that earth (the land) We made you and to him We will return you and from it We will expel you to another time.” (QS. Thaahaa: 55)

Hajjaj said, “Slaughter him!”

Said said, “In fact, I testify that there is no true God but the One God. There is no ally for him. And I testify that Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam was His servant and His apostle. Take it from me until you meet me on the day of Kimat. “

Then Sa’id prayed, “O Allah! Thou shalt not give him the opportunity to kill anyone after me. “

Sa’id was killed in the month of Sya’ban in 96 H. After that Hajjaj died in the month of Ramadan that same year. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala did not give him the opportunity to kill anyone after Sa’id until he died.

When Sa’id was slaughtered, it turned out that his blood flowed very much. Then Hajjaj called the doctors. He asked them about Said and the people he had killed before. Indeed, people who were killed before Sa’id, their blood flowing was only a little. Then the doctors replied, “When Sa’id was killed, his breath was still with him. The blood follows the breath. Whereas aside from Sa’id, it turns out that his breath has disappeared due to fear. That’s why there is only a little blood flowing. “

When Hasan al-Basri learned that Hajjaj had killed Sa’id bin Jubair by slaughtering, he prayed, “O Allah! Destroy the wicked who are outrageous. For God’s sake, if all that is between heaven and earth work together to kill Sa’id. Surely Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala will throw them all into hell. “

When Hajjaj approached his death, he experienced fainting and then regained consciousness and said, “What happened to me and Sa’id bin Jubair?” When he was sick, he had dreamed of seeing Sa’id holding the end of his clothes and said to him, ” O enemy of God! In what order did you kill me? “Then he woke up in a state of fear. He said, “What happened to me and Sa’id bin Jubair?” After Hajjaj died he was dreamed of in sleep, then asked him, “What did Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala do to you?” He replied, “He kill me for every person I kill. And He killed me as much as 70 times because I killed Sa’id bin Jubair. “

Sa’id bin Jubair was one of the most memorized Al-Karim Qur’an and was very familiar with interpretations as he was the one who knew the most hadith, halal, and haram. Wafa ‘bin Iyas said, “Once upon a time Sa’id said to me during the month of Ramadan,‘ Keep on reading the Koran.’ Therefore, he did not move from his place before reciting the Koran. Said said about himself, “I read the Qur’an in its entirety in two recitations of the sunnah prayer in the glorious Baitullah.”

May God bless him and give him a reward.
