Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu. Bismillah walhamdulillah wassalamu ala rasulullah wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa man wala. Welcome back to the final episode of the first shorts season one. Alhamdulillah.
Not the first. We still have more to go, bi'in Allahi ta'ala. But the final episode inshallah ta'ala of this particular element where we have been looking through some of these short biographies that we find that we want to
revive bi'in Allahi ta'ala for ourselves so we can properly appreciate them. Now, before I get into the sahaba today, what do we plan to do inshallah ta'ala? Sometime shortly, we will start season two bi'in Allahi ta'ala, so look out for that.
And we will pick back up with the full biographies inshallah ta'ala. And we'll start with the earliest of the Ansar to come and to embrace the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and his message that set the stage in Medina. And so please do remain tuned in.
And I appreciate all of you who have been a part of this. Alhamdulillah rabbil ameen. And I pray that it's been of benefit to you and your families and that we not only name our children after these great people, but we emulate them in our own lives
and inshallah ta'ala be gathered with them, with our beloved Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and these noble companions in the highest level of al-Firdaws al-A'la. Allahumma ameen. So jazakumAllah khayran once again.
It's the 70th episode, which is a beautiful, you know, place for us to be. And inshallah ta'ala, we will continue to go on and on. And I hope that it will remain of benefits and may Allah forgive me for any shortcomings along the way.
So as we have now started to move towards Al-Madinah and orienting ourselves towards Al-Madinah and what is to come in Al-Madinah, I wanted to talk about this last group of
people from the Muhajireen and they are the first in Badr. Now, what I mean by that is these are early Muslims from Mecca who made the sacrifice
of the Hijrah and who died first amongst those great shuhada of Badr. And subhanAllah, I want to focus on three people that are the first of the first in this regard.
Imagine the very first shaheed on the day of Badr. That is an incredible honor, right? The best companions were the companions of Badr. The best angels were the angels of Badr.
This was Yawm al-Furqan, the day that the criterion is sent, the day that the everything is made clear. This is a day of great reward with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Imagine then the status of the shuhada of Badr, the martyrs of Badr and imagine the very first shaheed on that day. And this is a man by the name of Mihja' ibn Salih.
Mihja' radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, we know almost nothing about. Literally, subhanAllah, you comb through the books to find anything that you can about this man and you would think subhanAllah, the first martyr on the day of Badr and
you'd have so much about him. But like many of these companions, just a line or two about who they were. So Mihja' radiAllahu ta'ala anhu was one of those who was a slave in Mecca who became Muslim and was persecuted.
However, the one who would free him was not Abu Bakr al-Siddiq radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, but rather it was Umar ibn Khattab radiAllahu ta'ala anhu. So we know that he is amongst the severely persecuted slaves in Mecca, but the one
who frees him is Umar ibn Khattab radiAllahu ta'ala anhu. And so he became loyal to Umar ibn Khattab radiAllahu ta'ala anhu and continued to accompany Sayyidina Umar radiAllahu ta'ala anhu for the rest of his life.
And Mihja' radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, the only thing that we see about him are these small lines about his ibadah, for example, that he was a great worshiper, that he would pray at night with Umar radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, or he was, you know, one who
was competing with the righteous worshippers in this regard. We also find the narration where it said that the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam, and this is in Al-Hakim that the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam mentioned
Khayr al-Sudan, Talatha, that the best of all black men and women are three, Luqman al-Hakim, Bilal and Mihja' radiAllahu ta'ala anhu. So he is in the category of Luqman and Bilal.
And of course, there are multiple courses and books that you can go look up where the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam talked about the specific, you know, forerunners of a people. So he counted Mihja' radiAllahu ta'ala anhu amongst the best of all black people
in the category of Luqman and Bilal radiAllahu ta'ala anhu ajma'een. So this is something where you find, you know, a lot of benefit and a lot of blessing. And what we find on the day of Badr is that one narration of him is that he was
saying, ana mihja' wa ila rabbi arji' I am Mihja' and to my Lord I am returning. So he would continuously repeat ana mihja' I am Mihja' wa ila rabbi arji' and to my Lord I am returning. And what a way to return to his Lord.
Mihja' radiAllahu ta'ala anhu was struck by an arrow on the day of Badr, the first martyr on the day of Badr, the first shaheed on the day of Badr radiAllahu ta'ala anhu.
The second person we'll speak about here briefly is Ubaidah ibn al-Harith ibn Abdul Muttalib, Ubaidah ibn al-Harith radiAllahu ta'ala anhu was a cousin of the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam who embraced Islam before Dar al-Arqam.
So he's also considered one of the earliest Muslims and Ubaidah ibn al-Harith, you know, being who he was in terms of his lineage is a person who will enjoy
the privilege of at least not facing the same type of severe persecution that we have in Mecca towards some like Mihja' radiAllahu anhu and some of those others that we covered. But Ubaidah radiAllahu ta'ala anhu was about 10 years older than the Prophet
Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. So he's an older cousin to the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. That means that when the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam received revelation, he was already 50 years old, and he immediately embraces the Prophet
Sallallahu alaihi wasallam and dedicates himself to him because of who he was. He is said to be amongst those that suffered under the boycott, but he stayed in Mecca despite all of that. And he made hijrah with the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
And he was someone that also was given duties early on in Medina to be amongst the flag bearers. So he is someone who they say was the second flag bearer in Islam after Hamza
radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, leading 60 muhajireen under his command. And as he was fighting in Badr, what we know about Ubaidah radiAllahu ta'ala anhu is that he came out on that day in the early duels.
So we spoke about this with Hamza as well as Ali, may Allah be pleased with them, that on the day of Badr, as you had the duels that took part,
as you had the duels that took place in the very beginning from the side of the Muslims, Hamza came out, Ali came out and Ubaidah came out. So these were the three Muslims to come out in the beginning of the day of Badr
and they fought Utbah and Al-Walid and Shaybah. Okay, so Ubaidah is the only one who suffered a wound in that duel in the very
beginning of the battle. Hamza radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, he overcame Utbah and he killed him right away. Ali radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, he overcame Al-Walid and he killed him right away. As for Ubaidah radiAllahu ta'ala anhu, as he was fighting
Shaybah, they were both wounded and then Hamza and Ali overcame Shaybah in that duel and so Shaybah was killed and Ubaidah radiAllahu ta'ala anhu was severely
wounded, but he survived at least the course of Badr and he died on the way back from Badr. So he was the first to be wounded on the day of Badr and he was
being carried back from Badr and he died in a place called As-Safra. SubhanAllah, I've been to that place. It's just his grave. It's not so far from Badr. As they were returning from Badr, he's not buried with the rest of the shuhada of Badr.
You just have the grave of Ubaidah ibn Harith radiAllahu ta'ala anhu and there's a narration that later on as they walked by that place of As-Safra, they smelled musk and they asked the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam about that musk that
they smelled and the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam said, how could it not be such when Ubaidah radiAllahu ta'ala anhu is buried there. So another distinct individual on that day from the muhajireen that were also martyred on the
day of Badr and we'll talk about some of the ansar later on in the series inshaAllah ta'ala. So you have the first martyr being Mihja, the first one to actually lose his life on the day of Badr and you have the first one to
actually be wounded but of course he would die later and that was Ubaidah ibn Harith radiAllahu ta'ala anhu who died shortly after, ten years older than the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam. So he was at that point 63 or 64 years old and
buried in As-Safra and then there is one more person that I'll mention inshaAllah ta'ala here and that is Umair ibn Abi Waqas radiAllahu ta'ala anhu. Umair ibn Abi Waqas was the younger brother of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqas radiAllahu ta'ala anhu
and he embraced Islam you know very very young and he wanted so badly to fight at the day of Badr and the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam sent him away because he was too
young and Umair radiAllahu ta'ala anhu literally cried and begged to be amongst those that would fight on the day of Badr. He did not want to miss the opportunity and eventually as he cried as he showed that deep emotion the
Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam allowed him to fight despite him being a young teenager and Umair radiAllahu ta'ala anhu passed away in Badr as well. So subhanAllah you have the old man in Ubaid ibn Harith
radiAllahu ta'ala anhu the cousin of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam who came forth on that day and you have the likes of Umair ibn Abi Waqas who came forth on that day and he said I don't want to miss out on al-jannah I don't want to
miss out on al-jannah. This whole thing to him was about something far more great than anything that he would achieve later on in his life being in that momentous occasion and being amongst those who were counted amongst the great
martyrs of Badr. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be pleased with them all. Allahuma ameen. So inshAllah ta'ala as we covered Mihja and Ubaid ibn Harith and Umair ibn Abi Waqas as the time goes on with the next season biidhnAllahi ta'ala
we'll get into some of the longer biographies of some of the Ansar as well that showed up on the day of Badr and that were killed in Badr. May Allah be pleased with all of the companions of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam and join us with our beloved Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa sallam his family and his
companions in al-Firdaws al-A'la. Allahuma ameen. JazakumAllahu khayran
