Bilal_Ibn_Rabah part 3

    Bilal Ibn Rabah

Bilal was taken by Umayyah Ibn Khalaf. What will wait for them? Here's what's next:

 The tragedy of Bilal

Umayyah bin Khalif Bilal was given as a gift, so he took them to the place of torture of the weak Muslims called Fithni Phango. Sayyiduna Bilal is one of the people who were called Mustadafi and suffered badly in the history of Islam. At that time, when weak Muslims like Sayyedun and Bilal were naked in the bright sun, they found them naked, they dressed them with iron rods and wounded them, they burned them with water, they tied their feet to horses and dragged them with various heavy stones. .

So those who tasted this punishment and did not return to apostasy were only a very few people. Even though we were told, they were at the forefront of these steadfast people. 

When Seyyedun and Bilal remembered that story after independence, they used to get choked up with tears and break the tradition.

Sayyiduna and Bilal were found on that hot sand, once on their chests and once on their backs. They put heavy stones on their chests. They dragged them on horses. They beat them with a stool, a hippopotamus, and a pole. You stoned them. So the princes are punishing them saying (Your religion has no religion and it belongs to Uza. Shame on Muhammad and his Lord). But Sayyiduna Bilal used to say only ``My Lord is Allah.'' In the middle, they were saying a lot of things. Ahadun_Ahad {One_God_One_God} Bilal was happy to see that this speech annoyed the princes even more, so he repeated it. They said, ``You won.''

When Umayyah was arguing with Sayyiduna, he used to say, ``My tongue was not created to say this and you do not agree with me.''

Seyyedun and Bilal have passed away as a brand for the entire Muslim community in the hour of their sorrow, leaving us the dead of the oppressors that shortens the memory and forgetfulness.

 

The tragedy of Sayyiduna Bilal has become a memorable event for all Muslims. Here is the next story:

  Freedom

Seyyed and Bilal were suffering like that and Sayyida Khadijah's uncle, who was named Tahtar_bin_Naufal, saw Ahadun Ahad. The paper means that when the Prophet ﷺ told Khadija about the coming of Jibreel and the revelation, she went and told them what she had said to the Prophet ﷺ. 》 They asked them ``Yes, where is he a prophet who is not classified as an enemy?'' They were pagans who had read the earlier books. When Wereka saw this, they were sad and said {Yes_Bilal_One_God_is_brave. 

After this, when there was talk about Bilal's release, two people who were said to have been freed and the payment that was said to be freed was a lot. Let's look at it a little.

 When the majority of historians saw Abu Bakr As Siddiq Bilal in that situation, they felt sad and said, ``Now, are you torturing this poor master just because he says there is only one God? } as he said, ``What will they say after you have ruined them and made them feel sorry for this?'' I will drive them, then Abu Bakr says ``Okay, let me buy you.'' After they unanimously agreed to enter into the negotiation, they all give their own guesses to what they paid. Some of them say that Abu Bakr was replaced by his unbeliever slave, while others say that he was replaced by two unbelieving slaves. Others say that they bought gold for 10 pieces of gold, not as a slave, and said, ``Even if he asked me for 1000 pieces, I would have paid him and set him free.'' The scholars who agree with this idea say that the idea is valid and put the amount as 40 percent and 7 percent. So, in the eyes of the majority, Bilal was conquered by Abu Bakr and declared free.

 The latter and the ulema who come to conclusions based on information from information are firm and say that it was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who freed Bilal. As evidence for this, most of the hadiths transmitted by Bilal include the following narrator, An_Bilal_Bin_Rabah_Mewala_Rasulillah - who was the servant of Bilal_Bin_Rabah_the_Messenger. The scholar Ibn Hisham, who is famous for writing the biography of the Prophet ﷺ, supported this idea and read it. Therefore, since it is difficult to combine the two, it is necessary for us to come to the conclusion that Abu Bakr or the Messenger of Allah ﷺ freed them.

The important thing is that the great Sahabi Sayyiduna Bilal endured the pain with great patience and declared their friendship with the Prophet ﷺ after being freed.

         Bilal_Hijra

Sayyiduna Bilal was one of the Companions who traveled first as Hijra (moving from Makkah to Madinah) was made obligatory. According to the Ansaar Sahabi on the authority of Ra' bin Azib, the first travelers to Madinah were Mus'ab bin Umayr, Amar bin Yasir, Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas, Abdullah bin Mas'ud and Bilal. Sayyiduna and Bilal were about to confront everyone face to face after tasting the rod of torture, so they left early to obey the order of the Prophet ﷺ. The Hijra is a journey that troubled many believers and witnessed many miracles. Although it was difficult for them to recognize the barrenness of their country due to childhood deprivation and soul-searching, they endured everything because it was necessary and they crossed that desert and entered Srib. According to the book called Tobaqatul_Kubra, Bilal stayed at the house of Ansar named #Saad_Bin_Haysama when he entered Sirib. 

Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ traveled to Sirib and entered the city, and the name of the city was changed to Madinun al-Munawara - the shining city. The Messenger ﷺ embraced the people of Madinah as brothers and ordered the residents to share everything they had with the travelers who had left behind their property so that the believers who had left behind the city and property would not be harmed. He married him with Abu Ruwayha al-Khusamy. Here, it should be emphasized that this is not what most of the scholars have done, but they have been trained with other people. 

In connection with this, the basic point that should be raised is that it should be said that the Messenger ﷺ did not migrate from Makkah to Madinah, but that he traveled to obey the command of his Lord. Various Amharic archives analyze that migration is a journey following flight or fear, and sometimes it is a journey in search of something better. However, the Arabic word hijra does not have the meaning of fleeing or fear, so it cannot be translated as migration. On the other hand, what confirms this is that before the Hijra, when Sayyid ﷺ made Israel, Jibreel told them to pray at Srib and that the crocodile was their destination. 

When Sayyiduna and Bilal started living in Madinah, they longed for Makkah and said, ``Curse all those who took us out of Makkah.'' The beloved Prophet ﷺ, who noticed this, then made dua saying, O Allah, make Madinah more like Makkah than it. Then Bilal said their love was transferred to Madinah. Their disturbing memories of Makkah were removed from them. 

When Sayyiduna and Bilal entered Madinah and the Messenger ﷺ entered Madinah, they were involved in everything when the world-wide Da'wa bird came to us. Today we will see about the work they were doing in Medina.

      Bilal's responsibility after Hijra

Sayyiduna Bilal served in many responsibilities in Medina by our Prophet ﷺ. Their activities were multifaceted. And since it would take a lot of paper and time to explore all of them, let's briefly list their main functions:

 As long as Sayyiduna Bilal was alive, the Prophet ﷺ used to accompany the Prophet as a shadow in the city, on journeys, in peace and in war, and doing their affairs with them. He was also his primary companion. Sayyid Bilal was the first to call the call to prayer for the Prophet ﷺ in Madinah and on his travels until the death of the Prophet ﷺ.

 Sayyiduna_Bilal not only gave the call to prayer, but he was also the one who announced the new decree to the people when new Sharia laws were revealed to the Prophet ﷺ. This shows their trustworthiness and closeness to the Prophet ﷺ. 

 Sayyiduna_Bilal participated in preparing the wedding program and party of Imam Ali and Sayyida Fatima, delivering the invitation for the marriage and the party, highlighting the wedding day with takbeera, beautifying this bride's marriage and hosting and escorting the bridegroom.

 Sayyiduna_Bilal said that when the Prophet ﷺ performed ablution, no one would touch the flowing water. It can be said that they have signed this in virtual condition. They used to drink that water, bathe in it, and bathe in it. Also, if the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was tired, Bilal would take it easy and go to work, and the Prophet ﷺ would sit supporting them.

 Sayyiduna Bilal used to wash our Sayyid ﷺ's clothes and take off his shoes. Any guest who came to the house of our Prophet ﷺ was treated by Sayyiduna Bilal. He also served as the head of the treasury. 

These are just a few of the responsibilities of Sayyiduna Bilal Medina. But their work and activities were too many. 

May Allah bless Sayyiduna Bilal for their good work.
