A Prophet, a
Siddiq & Two Martyrs Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet sallallahu `alayhi
wa sallam once climbed the mountain of Uhud with Abu Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthman
radhiallahu `anhum. The mountain shook with them. The Prophet said (to the
mountain), "Be firm, O Uhud! For on you there are no more than a Prophet,
a Siddiq and two martyrs." ( Sahih
Bukhari Companions
of the Prophet [VOL 5: Hadith No. 1-119] ) Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari: I performed ablution in my
house and then went out and said, "Today I shall stick to Allah's Apostle
and stay with him all this day of mine (in his service)." I went to the
Mosque and asked about the Prophet . They said, "He had gone in this
direction." So I followed his way, asking about him till he entered a
place called Bir Aris. I sat at its gate that was made of date-palm leaves till
the Prophet finished answering the call of nature and performed ablution. Then
I went up to him to see him sitting at the well of Aris at the middle of its
edge with his legs uncovered, hanging in the well. I greeted him and went back
and sat at the gate. I said, "Today I will be the gatekeeper of the
Prophet." Abu Bakr came and pushed the
gate. I asked, "Who is it?" He said, "Abu Bakr." I told him
to wait, went in and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Abu Bakr asks for
permission to enter." He said, "Admit him and give him the glad
tidings that he will be in I then returned and sat (at the
gate). I had left my brother performing ablution and he intended to follow me.
So I said (to myself). "If Allah wants good for so-and-so (i.e. my
brother) He will bring him here." Suddenly somebody moved the door. I
asked, "Who is it?" He said, "'Umar bin Al-Khattab." I
asked him to wait, went to Allah's Apostle, greeted him and said, 'Umar bin
Al-Khattab asks the permission to enter." He said, "Admit him, and
give him the glad tidings that he will be in I returned and sat (at the
gate) and said, (to myself), "If Allah wants good for so-and-so, He will
bring him here." Somebody came and moved the door. I asked "Who is
it?" He replied, "Uthman bin Affan." I asked him to wait and
went to the Prophet and informed him. He said, "Admit him, and give him
the glad tidings of entering ( Sahih
Bukhari Companions
of the Prophet Volume 5, Book 57, Number 23 ) |
