Commentary
As soon as the
archers left their place, one troop of horses, which was being commanded
by Khalid bin Waleed returned and attacked from the hill-pass
side. A handful strength of ten bowmen could not stop two hundred fifty
horse-riders. However, ‘Abdullah bin Jabiir and his companions (may
Allah be pleased with them) sacrificed their lives during fight. Then the
Muslims were surrounded from the both sides. They fought as much strongly
that ‘Al-‘amaan wal-Hafiiz. Many Muslims were martyred and injured.
At the same time an Infidel threw a stone on the Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him), which caused to martyr his tooth and face was
injured. Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) fell down due
to severity of the injury and someone spread the rumor that Prophet of
Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has been killed.
Listening to this
news the Muslims lose their senses and footing. A few Muslims threw their
weapons. Some of them thought about getting safety from the leader of
Idolaters. The Hypocrites began to say that while Prophet (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) has been killed then we should adopt our
ancient religion; leaving Islam.
At that critical
time, Ans ibne-Al-Nafar (may Allah be pleased with him) said,
“If Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) has been killed
then his God is still Alive. After Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon him) there is no use to live. For which aim Prophet Muhammad (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) was killed, we also should sacrifice
ourselves for the same purpose. Saying these words, he moved forward and was martyred.
Then suddenly, Messenger of Allah (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him) called, “O slaves of Allah: Come here!”. Listening to that particular
voice, the Muslims began to shrink there again. Three Companions (may Allah be
pleased with them) defended coming near to him (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) and caused the Army of Idolaters to run away.
Then this verse was
revealed, “Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is not God
but a Messenger. Many Prophets (peace be upon them) have passed away before him
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). After the Prophets (peace be
upon them), their followers sustained the religion always. Therefore, your
passing away from the world would not be a surprise. If you (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him) die or martyr then, would the people turn away
from serving and protecting the religion? Remember it that, “If someone does
so, he will lose himself; it will influence nothing to God. You should thank
Allah Almighty that He has chosen you for the services of His religion.
It is obligatory upon us to learn from this verse
and remain steadfast on His religion in the absence of the Messenger of Allah
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). Holy Qur’an has been committed to the trust and our care by the
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), which is a permanent
source of Guidance. Besides this, model roll and sayings of the Messenger,
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) are before us. We
should follow his (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) footsteps and
get success. Islam will remain alive always.
