Twelve chiefs (44)

Abul Haytham bin Al-Tayhan then said, “O Prophet ﷺ! We are bound to our people by a covenant, and by pledging loyalty to you, we are about to cut off our old ties. If success comes to you and you conquer Makkah , will you return to Makkah and then leave us defenseless

The Prophet ﷺ smiled and said, “No! Blood is blood, and
destruction is destruction. I am of you, and you are of me . I will wage war against those who make war upon you, and be at peace with those who are at peace with you.” “You know what you are all agreeing to,” Abbas warned.

“All of you are pledging to go to war. So, what will you do if if you lose all your wealth and property, and all your leaders are killed Will you abandon the Prophet If so, let him stay here in Makkah , because if you forsake him it will be a disgrace in this world and the next. However, if you stand by him even in the face of destruction, you will find a reward in this world and the next.”

The Yathrib Muslims listened to Abbas and then vowed that
they would support the Prophet ﷺ no matter how great the risks involved. Someone then asked the Prophet ﷺ , “Tell me, O Prophet! What we will get in exchange for all this ”

“Paradise, ” the Prophet ﷺ replied simply. “Give us your
hand,” the people said. Asad bin Zurara then took the Prophet’s ﷺ hand in his and addressed the gathering: “O people of Yathrib, after a long journey we have found the Prophet ﷺ of God. Taking his hand means incurring the enmity of all the Arabs, the deaths of our chiefs in his defense, and the clash of swords. If you are prepared for this, take the Prophet’s ﷺ hand, and with Allah lies the reward. If, however, you have any reservations, forsake him now.”
Unswerving in their faith, the assembly cried out, “Remove
your hand, Asad. We are ready to clasp the Prophet’s hand.” Some sources indicate that Asad bin Zurara was the first to take the oath, while others name Abul Haytham bin Al-Tayhan and Baraa bin Marur as the first. The two women present took the oath without shaking hands.

After everyone had taken the oath of allegience, the Prophet ﷺ asked the people to select twelve men who would be responsible for the affairs of the community. Nine members of the Khazraj tribe were chosen along with three from the Aus tribe.

The nine Khazraj chiefs were Sa’d bin Ubada bin Daleem, Asad bin Zurara bin Ads, Sa’d bin Rabi’a bin Amr, Abdullah bin Rawaha bin Thulba, Rafi bin Malik bin Ajlan, Baraa bin Marur bin Sakhar, Abdullah bin Amr bin Haram, Ubada bin Samit bin Qays, and Mundhir bin Amr bin Khanis. The three chiefs from the Aus tribe were Usayd bin Hudhayr bin Samak, Sa’d bin Khathima bin Harith, and Rifaah bin Abdul Mundhir bin Zubayr (other sources mention Abdul Haytham bin Al-Tayhan as well) .

After these twelve were elected, the Prophet ﷺ said to them,
“You are like the apostles of Isa [Jesus] . You are responsible for the community [in Yathrib] while I am the caretaker of the entire body of Muslims. ”

Just as the people were about to disperse, a strange voice was
heard calling out

What will happen And for whom is this voice

we will know next time in shaa Allah

The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving. [17:44]

2021-08-18 16:05:06 عن أبي موسى الأشعري، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “ إن اللهَ ليُملي للظالمِ ، حتى إذا أخذه لم يفلتْهُ . قال : ثم قرأ : { وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ} “ صحيح البخاري ومسلم

Narrated Abu Musa: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah gives respite to the oppressor, but when He takes him over, He never releases him.” Then he recited:– “Such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes (population of) towns in the midst of their wrong: Painful indeed, and severe is His seizure.’ (11.102) Sahih AlBukhari & Muslim

2021-08-18 04:22:34 Respected ones, we would like to remind you to fast the day of Ashura (10th of Muharram).

In the hadith narrated by Imam Muslim, our Prophet ﷺ said, "I hope from Allah that fasting on the day of Ashura may be an expiation for the sins of the previous year.”.
So whoever's fast is accepted, Allah the Exalted will - by His Grace and His Mercy - forgive their sins from the past year.


As there is dispute over the beginning of the month this year [due to dispute regarding the sighting of the new moon], whoever wishes to ensure that he doesn't miss Ashura; should fast both tomorrow (Wednesday) and the day after (Thursday).

Share & remind your families and loved ones for the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever leads others to do good, gets the same reward as the doer". Open / Comment

The second pledge of Aqabah(43)

In the thirteenth year of the Prophet’s ﷺ mission, many pilgrims from Yathrib made their way to Makkah , Muslims and pagans alike. The Muslims wanted to meet with the Prophet ﷺ , and invite him to move to Yathrib. The harrassment, abuse and fear that overshadowed the Prophet ﷺ and his followers in Makkah had dismayed the Muslims of Yathrib, who resolved to offer the Prophet ﷺ their loyal protection if he moved there. They arranged a secret meeting with him late one night at Aqabah after the Hajj.

To keep their meeting a secret from the Makkan pagans, the seventy-three Muslims from Yathrib sneaked out to Aqabah, some in pairs, some alone , to make what was to be known as the Second Pledge of Aqabah . All but eleven were from the Khazraj tribe. Two women were present as well – Nasiba bint Ka’b from Banu Najjar and Asma bint Amr from Banu Salamah. The Prophet ﷺ was accompanied by his uncle, Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, who, though not a Muslim at the time, was concered about his nephews welfare. Abbas began by saying, “The Prophet ﷺ has both security and honour in Makkah . If you cannot
guarantee to protect him in Yathrib, then let him remain in Makkah .”

Baraa bin Marur spoke for the Muslims of Yathrib: “We
are determined to offer our loyalty to the Prophet ﷺ and sacrifice ourselves for him, and we are willing to make a covenant to this effect.”

The Prophet ﷺ recited some verses from the Qur’an and had
the men from Yathrib take the following oath: “We will worship none but Allah⁦ ⁩, and we will never Associate any partner with Him.”

“We will obey the Prophet ﷺ” “We will give of our wealth
freely in prosperity and in poverty.” “We will counsel others to do good deeds and instruct them to refrain from evil.” “We will serve Allah, even when others show contempt.” “We will protect the Prophet ﷺ as we protect our women and children.”

Additionally, according to Ubada, the Yathrib Muslims also
pledged not to disobey those in authority. Baraa bin Manur took the Prophet’s ﷺ hand and said, “I swear by the One Who has sent you with the Truth, we shall certainly protect you as we do our families. By Allah! We are sons of battle and weapons are our toys. This is what we have inherited from our ancestors.”

Abul Haytham bin Al-Tayhan then said, “O Prophet ﷺ! We are bound to our people by a covenant, and by pledging loyalty to you, we are about to cut off our old ties. If success comes to you and you conquer Makkah , will you return to Makkah and then leave us defenseless "

What will be the Prophet's ﷺ answer We will know that next time
