What motivated this decision? Known for his unwavering piety and eagerness to do good without being asked, Al-Baraa ibn Ma’roor (ra) was a devoted companion and an early supporter of the... ## Transcript **[0:00]** Insha'Allah ta'ala, tonight we are going to go to one of the firsts of the firsts, but again a lot of these people get lost within history and they don't have the longer bios **[0:19]** that we're used to. SubhanAllah initially I was just going to do a biography about the son of this man that we're covering, but I couldn't help myself. The more that I dug, the more that subhanAllah this personality just offers loads and loads of loads of lessons for us to sit with insha'Allah ta'ala, and then we'll also transition and **[0:37]** we'll go to his son. So we talked about Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib (رضي الله عنه), right? So we had Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, and before Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib we covered another Bara'. Does anyone remember who that was? **[0:54]** Anybody? The first Bara' we covered. Remember we got a bunch of Zayd's now? Al-Bara' ibn Malik, right? So we covered Al-Bara' ibn Malik, the brother of Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنهما), and we covered Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib (رضي الله عنه), the man who as **[1:11]** we said if you're reading into the literature of Seerah or the Sunan of the Prophet (ﷺ) and you just hear Al-Bara', we're talking about Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, and he has over 300 ahadith. So there's a lot to cover from Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib. But the one that we're going to cover tonight is the least famous of the Bara's, the first **[1:31]** one to become Muslim. The first of all of the Bara's to become Muslim. And that is Al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur (رضي الله عنه). And how much of a first is he? Imam Al-Dhahabi (رحمه الله) as well as Ibn Hibban, they record about him. **[1:49]** Awwalu man baya'a Rasulullah (ﷺ) fil-'Aqabatayn. He was the first person to actually come up to the Prophet (ﷺ) and take bay'ah with him to pledge with the Prophet (ﷺ) in both of the 'Aqabas, in both of the pledges of 'Aqabah. **[2:06]** So let's give some context to this. And it's refreshing your memory insha'Allah ta'ala a little bit about the Seerah. The first six people to embrace Islam from Medina were six young men led by As'ad ibn Zurarah (رضي الله عنه). **[2:22]** They saw the Prophet (ﷺ) in Hajj calling the different tribes in the very difficult phase of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)'s life where no one would accept him. And the Prophet (ﷺ) met these six young men. As'ad ibn Zurarah is the first Muslim from Medina. **[2:37]** He's the first one from Medina to embrace the Prophet (ﷺ)'s message and to bring along that group. After six, you then have the two 'Aqabas, the two pledges themselves. The first of those two pledges were 12. And then you have 70 plus the second 'Aqabah, where a large group of people come to meet **[2:57]** the Prophet (ﷺ) the next year in Hajj and to embrace Islam with the Prophet (ﷺ) from Medina and to officially pave the way for him to come to Madinah Munawwarah. In both of those incidents where you put your hand in the hand of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), the very first person to walk forward and to put his **[3:17]** hand in the hand of the Prophet (ﷺ) is this man named Al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur (رضي الله عنه) and he was the naqeeb, he was the chosen representative of the tribe known as Banu Salimah. **[3:33]** Banu Salimah. Banu Salimah is the tribe of Mu'adh ibn Jabal (رضي الله عنه). It's the tribe of Jabir ibn 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه). It's a very famous tribe from amongst the Ansar. He is the representative of that tribe. **[3:48]** He's a very elderly man, but extremely respected amongst the people of Yathrib. Okay, Yathrib of course being the name of Medina before Al-Madinah Munawwarah, right? Extremely respected and just to give you a visual clearly that on the night of 'Aqabah, **[4:04]** both nights, he's understood to be the first one that's going to go forward because of the honor and the respect that the Ansar have for him. He's the oldest of them. He's the most respected of them. Banu Salimah is a great tribe amongst them. **[4:20]** So just imagine the first man put forward both times to put his hand in the hand of the Prophet (ﷺ) to embrace Islam. And he is Al-Dhahabi (رحمه الله) says, wa huwa ibn 'ammati Sa'd ibn Mu'adh. **[4:36]** He is the first cousin of the great Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (رضي الله عنه). Wa kana naqeeban qawmihi Banu Salimah and he was the chief of his people. The first to give the Prophet (ﷺ) bay'ah. Wa kana fadhilan taqiyyan faqeehan nafs. **[4:53]** He was a man of great virtue, a man of extreme piety. Okay, fadhil usually represents a person who does a lot of good without being prompted. Right? So he's fadhil. Taqiy means he's extra cautious when it comes to sins. **[5:11]** And what this yields is a very special term that you don't hear much. Faqeehan nafs, a jurist of the soul. What is a jurist of the soul? Imam al-Ghazali (رحمه الله) uses this terminology frequently by the way in tazkiyah. What is faqeehan nafs? **[5:27]** Faqeehan nafs is someone that has studied his self so much, a scholar of the soul, and is so diligent and devoted to trying to purify the soul that they're naturally guided towards Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Like these are people that are able to diagnose inner realities very quickly, especially with **[5:48]** themselves. Right? So we're not like gurus or people that do weird stuff. We're not talking about that. We're talking about a person who wants so badly to please Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and they're doing everything externally right. They're avoiding the sins, and they're putting forth the virtuous things. **[6:04]** And as a result of that, Allah 'azza wa jal makes them scholars of their own souls, people that are very insightful, that are able to diagnose things in a deep internal sense. Now the scholars also mentioned about al-Bara' in this regard. The hadith of the Prophet (ﷺ) that people are like precious stones. **[6:26]** The best of you in the days of ignorance are the best of you in Islam, if you have knowledge, if you have jurisprudence. What did the Prophet (ﷺ) mean by that? That if a person was known for charity, a person was known for good manners, if a person was known for integrity, if a person had all of these qualities before they became Muslim, **[6:45]** the expectation is now that they become Muslim, they simply refine those qualities in the most beautiful way. So he is that man, or he's one of those types in Medina who has that type of a personality to where everything that's known about him is good, but at the same time, he doesn't **[7:04]** live long enough in Islam for us to see his name become something within Islam. That is the reason why when you ask why is a person hidden, name recognition is one. There are too many people named with the same name. Or the person died too early in Islam. **[7:23]** Either they died early in the life of the Prophet (ﷺ) or they died early after the Prophet (ﷺ) to where they couldn't record a hadith or record their story and other people did not record their story sufficiently. So he's someone who dies early on in the Seerah of the Prophet (ﷺ) and because of that he **[7:38]** gets lost. So he's an old man, comes forth to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he brings his family with him. Very interestingly enough, his mother is a Sahabiya as well. **[7:53]** She was a very elderly woman that he brought forth on that day. Her name was Ar-Rabab bint Nu'man. She came and she took her shahadah with the Prophet (ﷺ) and her bay'ah while she was **[8:13]** a very old woman. And he had two wives. Some of them considered the second one to actually be two separate people, but the more correct historical interpretation is that they're one person. So the first one is a woman that we're going to talk about, especially as it relates to **[8:33]** one of his kids, his most famous son. And her name is Khalidah or Khalidah, Khalidah bint Qays. Her nickname, Umm Bishr. And this is a noble Sahabiya of the Prophet (ﷺ) in her own right and she has a deep story **[8:53]** with the Prophet (ﷺ). We cited her in the Barzakh series, but without a biography. Umm Bishr. So he has his wife Khalidah, Umm Bishr, from her. Very easy to remember. **[9:09]** Bishr ibn al-Bara', who we're going to do a full biography of. Bishr ibn Bara', the most famous son. And then he has another wife named Umm Mubashshir. So Bishr, Mubashshir, similar root. And this woman also became Muslim and he had multiple children from her. **[9:30]** Umm Mubashshir, he had three daughters named Hind, Sulafa, and Ar-Rabab, named after his mother. So he had Mubashshir, Hind, Sulafa, and Ar-Rabab. What's so interesting about this woman is that when al-Bara' passes away, she will be **[9:50]** one of those widows that marries Zayd ibn al-Harithah. So you can start to see how the weaving starts to come. Zayd ibn al-Harithah will marry her in Al-Madinah, and she narrates a few ahadith. She had several children through Zayd, or rather Zayd had several children through her **[10:10]** that almost all became scholars of the religion. Her two most famous ahadith, I'll just mention it, this is Umm Mubashshir because we're not going to bring her up again. And Jabir, being from the tribe of Banu Salimah, is the primary narrator from Umm Mubashshir. **[10:26]** There's a famous hadith that you might have heard, it is a very beautiful hadith, that Jabir narrates from Umm Mubashshir that she heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say, ma min muslimin yaghris gharsan aw yazra' zar'an fa ya'kul minhu insanun aw tayrun aw sabu'un illa **[10:44]** kana lahu sadaqah That there is no Muslim who plants a seed or who puts forth the smallest contribution, and from that, a human being or a bird or a wild beast eats from it, except that it is a charity. She's also a narrator of the hadith of Bay'at ar-Ridwan, where the companions took the pledge **[11:04]** with the Prophet (ﷺ) under the tree. Again, you have the narration from Jabir through her, la yadkhul in sha'Allah nara ahadun min ashab ash-shajarah alladheena baya'u tahtaha But the Prophet (ﷺ) said that no one from those that took the pledge under the tree **[11:23]** with me will enter into the hellfire. Hafsah said, what about ya Rasulallah wa in minkum illa wariduha That Allah (ﷻ) says every single one of you will touch the fire. The Prophet (ﷺ) responded and he said **[11:39]** thumma nunajji alladheena ittaqaw wa nadharu adh-dhalimeen fiha jithiyya The ayah that comes after that we will save those who were pious and we will leave the oppressors to dwell within it instead. So this is Umm Mubashshir. **[11:56]** So again, you have Al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur, the first man to come to the Prophet (ﷺ) from Medina to take the pledge twice in both of the incidents. His elderly mother, two wives and his children all taking their shahadah. **[12:11]** So what do we know about this man? And why don't we know more about him? I'll tell you what we do know about him, it's one of the most interesting things and I don't think there's another sahabi that has this particular distinction. When he became Muslim, he started praying with the Ka'bah as his qiblah. **[12:28]** He immediately turned and started praying towards the Ka'bah as his qiblah. And the Prophet (ﷺ) was praying towards what as his qiblah at that time? Masjid al-Aqsa, right? The change of qiblah will not come until 16, 17 months after the hijrah of the Prophet (ﷺ) in Medina **[12:47]** as Anas (رضي الله عنه) says. Remember this man is faqih al-nafs, like he's someone who has such a pure and beautiful soul. He never even met the Prophet (ﷺ) up until that point. He just knew that we have some form of salah. **[13:03]** Obviously the salah is still being developed, by the way, at this point. The very fundamentals of the prayer is being developed but he just knows like Mecca is the home where Ibrahim (عليه السلام) built a house dedicated to the worship of Allah (ﷻ). **[13:19]** It's a special place and he says, I can't imagine myself putting my back towards the Ka'bah. Now when the Prophet (ﷺ) was in Mecca, this is an interesting lesson by the way. When the Prophet (ﷺ) was in Mecca and he would position himself in salah, **[13:34]** he would face Jerusalem but put the Ka'bah between him and Jerusalem. So technically the Prophet (ﷺ) was getting both qiblahs in the process. Faces the Ka'bah but faces towards al-Masjid al-Aqsa. May Allah (ﷻ) liberate it. Allahumma ameen. **[13:50]** When you're in Medina, you can't do that anymore, right? So he just, you know, Islam is still very new here. Fundamentally the deen is kalimat al-tawhid at this point. Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah. You don't have Hajj, you don't have Ramadan. The salah is still being developed, you don't have zakah, right? **[14:08]** Still very early on in the religion and he says, you know, I'm going to pray towards the Ka'bah. The house that was built by Ibrahim (عليه السلام) for the worship of one God. That's what I feel inclined towards doing. So then they made their way to Mecca **[14:25]** and this is when he's going to meet the Prophet (ﷺ) for the first time. And so this is a long narration of Dhahabi (رحمه الله) captures that some of those companions that went out with al-Bara', they said that they went with him and they got to the Miqat of Dhul-Hulayfah, **[14:44]** which is where we go by the way until now when we leave Medina to go towards Mecca. And he said, ta'lamuna wallahi laqad ra'aytu alla aj'ala hadhihi al-bayt minni bi-dhahr wa an usalli ilayha **[15:02]** He said, you know, by Allah, I have come to the conclusion that I will not put this house behind my back and I will pray towards it. We said to him don't do it, you know you won't do this and they said ma balaghana an-nabiyyina (ﷺ) yusalli illa ila ash-sham **[15:18]** we only heard from our prophet (ﷺ) that he prays towards the direction of ash-Sham so wa ma kunna linukhalifa qiblatahu (ﷺ) we're not in a position where we can betray or we can pray to a qiblah other than his so they said that we saw him yusalli ila al-Ka'bah **[15:38]** anytime the salah came he prayed towards the Ka'bah everyone else prayed towards Jerusalem very interesting so it started to become a problem fa-'ibna 'alayhi so we got mad at him and we started to find fault with what he had done **[15:53]** wa aba illa al-iqamata 'alayhi hatta qadimna Makkah and he refused to pray except towards Mecca until we got towards Mecca so he said ya ibna akhi, oh son of my brother laqad sana'tu fee safari shay'an **[16:09]** he said I've been doing something while I'm traveling and I don't know if it's the right thing to do he's admitting he's like look I'm doing this on something that's within my heart I find in my soul that the Ka'bah is a place that was set up for the worship of Allah **[16:25]** so I don't know if this is the right thing to do so let's go towards the Prophet (ﷺ) and let's ask the Prophet (ﷺ) 'amma sana'tu about what I'm doing let's ask the Prophet (ﷺ) if what I'm doing is correct **[16:41]** and this is so powerful wa kunna la na'rifu Rasulallahi (ﷺ) fa kharajna nas'alu 'anhu we didn't actually know how the Prophet (ﷺ) looked so we went out looking for him this is how early this all is for them **[16:56]** so we went out and we found at an area called al-Abtah a man and we asked him about the Prophet (ﷺ) and we asked him do you know who he is and he said no **[17:13]** and then we said to that man do you know al-'Abbas al-'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) so they said or this man said na'am yes I know al-'Abbas and the narrator says we knew al-'Abbas because al-'Abbas was a merchant **[17:29]** and this is of course known about al-'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) so we knew him in Medina and we knew how he looked and other people knew him because he was a merchant he used to travel so you know we said point us towards al-'Abbas so they pointed them towards al-'Abbas **[17:47]** and they went and they saw al-'Abbas and they saw him sitting in the area of the Haram so they asked a person they said who is that man or do you know who Muhammad (ﷺ) is **[18:02]** so they saw al-'Abbas they said do you know who Muhammad (ﷺ) is they said huwa rajulun he is the one ladhi jalisu ma'a al-'Abbas he's the one that's sitting with al-'Abbas so you can go and you can see both of them at the same time so the Prophet (ﷺ) is sitting with al-'Abbas **[18:17]** and al-Bara' continues that we went towards the Prophet (ﷺ) and al-'Abbas and we said salam and we sat down when we sat down the Prophet (ﷺ) said to al-'Abbas **[18:33]** man hadhani ya 'amm who are these two oh uncle can you introduce these two people oh uncle so al-'Abbas (ﷺ) said this is al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur sayyidu qawmihi the leader of his people being Banu Salimah **[18:50]** wa hadha Ka'b ibn Malik and this is Ka'b ibn Malik so this kind of shows now the narration that the two men are al-Bara' and Ka'b ibn Malik fa qala Rasulullahi (ﷺ) ash-sha'ir the poet Ka'b ibn Malik was a poet Ka'b was so happy that the Prophet (ﷺ) knew who he was **[19:07]** and he said the poet? al-'Abbas said yes the poet so al-Bara' his first conversation with the Prophet (ﷺ) about this issue he says ya Rasulallah wallahi laqad sana'tu kadha wa kadha I just want you to know that I've been doing it this way I've been praying towards **[19:24]** the qiblah of Mecca rather than the qiblah that you've been praying to and I want some advice from you I want you to tell me if what I'm doing is wrong so the Prophet (ﷺ) said qad kunta 'ala qiblatin law sabarta 'alayha **[19:40]** you had been on a valid qiblah if only you'd be patient with that qiblah you'd been facing towards a valid qiblah meaning al-Aqsa if only you had remained upon that qiblah fa raja'i ila qiblatihi okay so we went back towards praying towards al-Aqsa **[19:58]** until obviously the Prophet (ﷺ) received the instruction from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala later on to change the qiblah towards Mecca the interesting thing subhanAllah about this entire situation is that the reason why the verse was revealed **[20:14]** wa ma kana Allahu liyudhi'a imanakum that Allah will not let your faith go to waste is that the Sahabah worried when the qiblah changed from Mecca or from Jerusalem to Mecca that all those Sahabah who died before getting to pray towards Mecca **[20:32]** was their salah valid that's actually what the context of that verse is Ya Rasulullah all those people that died praying towards Jerusalem and they never got a chance to pray towards Mecca did their salah count? did it all go to waste? wa ma kana Allahu liyudhi'a imanakum Allah 'azza wa jal will not let your faith go towards waste **[20:51]** and here you have al-Bara' al-Ma'rur who is the opposite he is someone that was insisting upon praying towards Mecca until the Prophet (ﷺ) told him be patient with the qiblah that you are on until Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala decrees otherwise and indeed Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala would decree otherwise **[21:06]** and this is a sign of the soundness of his heart and the soundness of his soul that something was going to come and this is when a person is upon this pursuit of rightful guidance they start to incline towards things and this was of course the situation with Sayyiduna 'Umar (رضي الله عنه) **[21:23]** that he always inclined towards the truth even before the revelation would come so what happened to him next? so al-Bara' was there in both of the two 'Aqabas wa huwa awwaluhum mubaya'atan li Rasulillahi (ﷺ) **[21:40]** the first one to give bay'ah and he brought his son Bishr his son Bishr, his oldest son to take bay'ah as well he goes back to Medina and this is where the story gets subhanAllah very interesting and why you don't hear about him **[21:56]** he dies in the month of Safar one month before the Prophet (ﷺ) makes hijrah so he didn't get to receive the Prophet (ﷺ) in Medina subhanAllah can you imagine? he came to Mecca, he took bay'ah with the Prophet (ﷺ) twice **[22:12]** and he is one of the core reasons why Islam is taking hold in al-Madinah Munawwarah but he doesn't get to live to see the moment to receive the Prophet (ﷺ) in al-Madinah so he dies one month before the Prophet (ﷺ) arrives **[22:30]** and there's something else so beautiful about him in this regard and it's all that we have from him that his wasiyyah his wasiyyah was one third of everything he owns li Rasulillahi (ﷺ) **[22:45]** to the Prophet (ﷺ) so awsa bi-thuruthin fee sabeerillah wa awsa bi-thuruthin lil-nabiyyi (ﷺ) wa awsa bi-thuruthin li-waladihi he gave one third of his inheritance to the Prophet (ﷺ) **[23:01]** he said one third of my inheritance use it fee sabeerillah and he said one third would go towards his family and when the Prophet (ﷺ) came and you have to imagine the sentiment subhanAllah what a righteous man, what a noble sentiment the Prophet (ﷺ) **[23:17]** returned his wasiyyah to his family because this isn't an equation that's acceptable so the share that he gave to the Prophet (ﷺ) the Prophet (ﷺ) gave it back to his rightful inheritors the irony subhanAllah is that both of the things that are mentioned as virtues for him are mistakes **[23:34]** in his biography both of the things that he did that are virtuous are mistakes but because they were well intentioned and corrected obviously rectified they're taken in the spirit of how they are recorded and we speak about him with such praise **[23:51]** (رضي الله عنه) as being this first person to take that bay'ah with the Prophet (ﷺ) we also have what's narrated that when the Prophet (ﷺ) came to Medina the Prophet (ﷺ) asked about him **[24:06]** and they told the Prophet (ﷺ) that he died so the Prophet (ﷺ) sa'ala 'an qabrihi he said take me to his grave so they took him to the grave fa-asaffa 'alayhi wa kabbara **[24:22]** the Prophet (ﷺ) went to it and he lined up and he pronounced takbir now here's the thing about what it says here kabbara salat al-janazah is also still not legislated in the full sense so what is it that the Prophet (ﷺ) did **[24:38]** and this is where the 'ulama actually debate did the Prophet (ﷺ) pray an actual salat al-janazah on him or did the Prophet (ﷺ) say Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar or do something that resembled what was to come of salat al-janazah walakin kabbara 'alayhi (ﷺ) **[24:53]** what we know for sure is the Prophet (ﷺ) kabbara he did either the salat al-janazah or what would resemble the janazah and he said (ﷺ) Allahumma ighfir lahu warhamhu wa adkhilhu al-jannah O Allah forgive him and have mercy upon him and enter him into paradise **[25:09]** wa fee riwayah wa qad fa'alt and in one narration the Prophet (ﷺ) says and you have done so okay so Allahumma ighfir lahu warhamhu wa adkhilhu al-jannah wa qad fa'alt O Allah forgive him and have mercy upon him and enter him into jannah **[25:25]** and indeed you have done so so this is al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur (رضي الله عنه) the first person to give bay'ah to the Prophet (ﷺ) the chief of Banu Salimah a noble first that goes down in history but subhanAllah did not get to be there to receive the Prophet (ﷺ) **[25:43]** in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah but Allah 'azza wa jal writes down what he writes down ## Other Episodes in "The Firsts (Sahaba
