The Wry Guard, Session 11 Al Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra). Fajr - A prayer done with excellence. Mugheerah (ra) performs ablution with The Messenger ﷺ during the expedition to Tabook, thereafter caught the prayer led by Abdurehman ibn Auf (ra). A Prophet was never taken until he had prayed behind a righteous man of his community (Ibn Saa'd).

The Wry Guard, Session 9 Thursday Al Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra). The narrative of Hadrat Sakhr ibn Ghaylah Ahmasee (ra). O Allah (SWT)! Shower Your Blessings on the cavalry and infantry of the tribe of Ahmas (Abo Dawood). 6 months after The Seige of Taa'if The Companions March to Tabook - A 600 mile trek in the blazing heat. "Allah (SWT) has forgiven the Prophet ﷺ , the Muhaajireen (rala) and the Ansaar (rala) who followed him in the Hour of distress (ie the Tabook Expedition) Surah Tawbah 9 : 117. The distress was regarding water, expenses & transport.

The Wry Guard, Session 9 Wednesday Al Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra). The Seige of Taa'if "O Allah (SWT)! Give guidance to Thaqeef! (Tirmidhi). "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ besieged the people of Taa 'if for some thirty days and then left, not having defeated them. After He ﷺ had returned to Al-Madeenah, a Delegation of them came to Him ﷺ in Ramadaan, and they embraced Islam" (Ibn Ishaaq).

The Wry Guard, Session 8 Al Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra). Hunayn & The Ambush Hadrat Urwah (ra) observing the Companions (ra) very closely. He would say later By Allah (SWT)! Even when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would spit, someone woula catch it and rub it on his face and body... Thus, Hadrat Urwah (ra) was so impressed with the love and devotion of the Noble Companions (ra/a) with regards to Allah's (SWT) Messenger ﷺ that he (ra) had later gone on to say... "O my nation! I have gone to the delegation of kings, Caesar, Chosroes and Neegus, But i have never witnessed a people who have paid more respect to their kings than the Companions (ra) of Muhammad ﷺ to Muhammad ﷺ !" (Bukhari)

The Wry Guard, Session 7 Al Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra). Abu Dawood (rah) had related the Hadith like this, 'As for the wealth, we have no concern with it.' The Holy Prophet ﷺ thus declared in this Hadith that he accepted his submission to Islaam, but this wealth has been snatched by breach of trust and was a treachery - hence he did not have any desire for this wealth. Mugheerah & his great uncle (ra) exchange a few words at Hudaybiah.

The Wry Guard, Session 6 Al Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra). Al Muqawqis is sat by The Sea when a band of men from Thaqeef visit. Faith does not denote the mere knowledge of something but rather Faith refers to obedience and submission - Heraculis recognised The Signs of Prophethood but did not accept Faith.

The Wry Guard, Session 5 Al Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra). The world leaders are invited to Islam - a unique distinction of The Messenger ﷺ. Haatib The Badri (ra) is sent to Al Muqawqi who now has a slight change of tone. His kingship prevented him from the truth. The Disciples of Isa (A.S.) are commanded to propagate Islam far & wide.

The Wry Guard, Session 4 Al Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra). The Umrah to Hudaybiah is used as a criterion for those who embraced Islam before & after it. Mugheerah (ra) embraced Islam before The Umrah to Hudaybiah.

The Wry Guard, Session 3 Al Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra), 4 AH the meeting with Al Muqawqis the viceroy in Egypt for the Romans, who recognises The Signs of Prophethood. The Pope that offers 5 daily prayers gives Dawaat to Mugeerah (ra) as he mentions The Signs of Prophethood.

The Wry Guard, Session 2 Al Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra), Mugheerah (ra) applies yellow dye to his beard. Using Dye on hair... Henna - how good this is. Henna & Katam - This is even better Yellow dye - The Best of All (Abu Dawood). "The most cunning of the Arabs are four; Hadrat Mu'aawiyah (ra), Hadrat Amr ibn al-Aas (ra), Hadrat al- Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra) and Ziyaad. Hadrat Mu'aawiyah (ra) shows it in his forbearance and patience Hadrat Amr (ra) in difficulties (ie tight spots). Hadrat al-Mugheerah (ra) in unexpected situations, And Ziyaad in both great and small things (Ibn Asaakir). The judges are 4 ; Hadrat Umar (ra), Hadrat Alee (ra), Hadrat Ibn Mas'ood (ra) and Hadrat Zayd ibn Thaabit (ra) (Ibn Asaakir). Abu Jahl declares to Mugheerah (ra) "By Allah (SWT)! I know for sure that whatever he ﷺ says is the truth - however, there is only one thing that prevents me from accepting (ie that he belongs to the Banoo Qusayy -the 4th grandfather of our Beloved Messenger [saw] who had united the Q

Hadrat Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra) Session 1 Hadrat al-Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba ibn Abee Aamir ibn Mas'ood ibn Mhu attib ibn Maalik ibn Ka'ab ibn Amr ibn Sa'ad ibn Awf ibn Thaqeef. His agnomen was Aboo Abdllah (ra) (Ibn Saad). He (ra) had reddish grey hair, thin lips & broad shoulders.

Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S18) - Final session In 45 A.H, during the 5th year of Muaviya’s (رضي الله عنه) khilafat, our mother Hafsah رضي الله عنها fell seriously ill and passed away. Thus returned to Allah (swt), Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم: Daughter of Umar and Zainab bint Madhoon (رضي الله عنهم), widow of the Badri, Khunais (رضي الله عنه), the sister of Abdullah Ibn Umar (رضي الله عنهم), niece of Zayd Ibn al-Khattab, Uthman, Abdullah and Qudama Ibn Madhoon (رضي الله عنهم), custodian of the original mushaf, the one whose worship was praised by Allah (swt) Himself, the mother of the believers! Hafsah’s (رضي الله عنها) janazah was lead by Marwan Ibn al-Hakam (r.h). Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه held her bier. She was buried by Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم and his sons; Asim, Hamza and Salim (r.h). Dates when our other mothers (رضي الله عنهم) passed away: [44 A.H] Umm Habeebah [50 A.H] Juwayriya [51 A.H] Maymoonah [54 A.H] Sawdah The status of our mothers (رضي الله عنهم) can be determined from

Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S17) Hukaym Ibn Jabalah - one of the chiefs of the khawarij. He initiated a fight against our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها. Our mother instructed her forces not to fight, and to only defend themselves. Aisha رضي الله عنها had rallied an army - it was fit for her to lead as she was the most knowledgeable of the Messenger’s ﷺ wives. These rebels tried assassinating Aisha (رضي الله عنها) - they were caught outside her door and executed. Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم made the dua: “O Allah (swt), destroy those who killed Uthmaan (رضي الله عنه)”. A battle took place between our mother Aisha’s رضي الله عنها forces and the rebels who rallied an army. They were all wiped out, except one. This silences those who claim nothing good came out of Aisha’s رضي الله عنها stance. Shortly after this battle, the battle of the camel took place. Shayateens on both sides instigated it - ultimately Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم were martyred. Aisha رضي الله عنها thought due to her status

Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S16) During the fitnah in Uthmaan’s رضي الله عنه khilafat, our mothers (رضي الله عنهم) went to perform Hajj to leave the chaos. Our mother Umm Habeeba رضي الله عنها being from the same tribe as Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, wanted to help him. She went on her mule to supply some water, however she was stopped by the rebels - they struck her mule and it bolted. Our mother رضي الله عنها was almost killed. These rebels had the audacity to attack their mother… Aisha رضي الله عنها left Madinah to help ease the situation - she called for her brother, Muhammad رضي الله عنه to come with her, but he refused. Aisha رضي الله عنها said: “If the entire Earth was filled with these rebels, Uthmaan’s رضي الله عنه finger would be greater!”. Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم met with our mothers (رضي الله عنهم) at Makkah - plans were taking place for the vengeance of Uthmaan’s assassination. Hafsah رضي الله عنها wanted to go to Busra, however her brother, Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم intervene

Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S15) Hafsah رضي الله عنها heard her father رضي الله عنه making the dua: “O my Lord (swt), let me be martyred in your path, let me be martyred in the city of Your beloved (ﷺ)” - Hafsah رضي الله عنها was upset when she heard this. Umar رضي الله عنه made the dua aloud to prepare his daughter for his coming martyrdom. When Umar رضي الله عنه was severely wounded, Hafsah رضي الله عنها entered the room and said: “O companion of our Messenger ﷺ, O father in law of our Messenger ﷺ, O Ameer ul Mumineen!”. Umar رضي الله عنه, in the state he was in, still told his daughter رضي الله عنها to not praise a man for what he doesn’t deserve… Thus, Umar al-Farooq رضي الله عنه was martyred and reunited with our beloved Messenger ﷺ and Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه. Hafsah رضي الله عنها was around 42 years old. Hafsah رضي الله عنها says to Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم, when he struck Ibn Sayad: “May Allah (swt) have mercy on you! Did not the Messenger ﷺ say that the Dajjal will emerge due to extr

Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S14) Umar رضي الله عنه fixed a 10,000 dirham stipend for our mothers (رضي الله عنهم) - except Aisha رضي الله عنها, she recieved 12,000. Umar رضي الله عنه said: “For she was more beloved to the Messenger ﷺ”. Umar رضي الله عنه gave 3,500 Dirhams to Usama Ibn Zayd (رضي الله عنهم) and gave 3,000 to his own son, Abdullah رضي الله عنه. Abdullah asked Umar (رضي الله عنهم) why he did this, to which Umar replied: “Zayd [i.e Ibn Haritha رضي الله عنه] was more beloved to our Messenger ﷺ than your father. Usama رضي الله عنه was more beloved to our Messenger ﷺ than you [i.e Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم]. I will prefer the Messenger’s ﷺ beloved over my beloved!”. Umar رضي الله عنه showcasing the peak of iman - loving our Messenger’s ﷺ family over his own. Abdullah Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنهم: “Speak often of Umar, for you will mention justice. When you mention justice, you mention Allah (s.w.t)”. Aisha (رضي الله عنها): “Beautify your gatherings with salaam upon the Messenger ﷺ, and by

Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S13) Umar رضي الله عنه saw some companions wearing white Khurasan cloth after conquering the Persians. He did not speak to them. They were confused. Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم elucidated: “He did so, as you wore clothing that the Messenger ﷺ nor Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه ever wore”. The companions رضي الله عنهم then changed their garments, and Umar رضي الله عنه greeted each and everyone indivually. When the spoils of war were brought to Umar, he noticed a sweet dish and took a bit. He (رضي الله عنه) said: “For this, sons will kill fathers, and brothers will kill brothers”. He then distributed it to the children of companions who were martyred in the lifetime of our Messenger ﷺ. A group amongst the companions/tabi’een stated that Umar رضي الله عنه should have a better style of clothing - as Islam had now spread globally and should delegations arrive, he should look the part, as a form of dawah. Two people were suggested to advise him; Ali and Hafsah (a.s) - both of which

Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S12) In Abu Bakr’s (رضي الله عنه) khilafat, the wars of apostasy took place - many hufadh were martyred so Umar رضي الله عنه suggested that a mushaf be compiled. Zayd Ibn Thaabit رضي الله عنه was given the task of this compilation. The mushaf was first with Abu Bakr, then it went to Umar, then our mother Hafsah رضي الله عنهم. She kept it for 20 years until she passed away. Why was it given to Hafsah and not Uthman (رضي الله عنهم) - as after Umar رضي الله عنه was martyred, there was 3 days before Uthman رضي الله عنه was elected as the new caliph - thus the blessed mushaf was given to our mother, Hafsah رضي الله عنها.

Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S11) In the case of a revocable divorce; only the husband can take back the woman during the iddah (Surah 2:228) However, after the iddah, if the husband wants the woman back, he must go through the entire marriage procedure again - I.e Nikkah, Mahr etc. Witness are needed when calling for a divorce or when calling the woman back - not having any witnesses means you have left the sunnah, however the divorce is still valid. The sunnah time to call for divorce should be when the woman is not menstruating, and when the man has not been intimate with her - a mercy from Allah (s.w.t) - so as to not be rash and act on emotion. Just as our Messenger’s ﷺ love increased for Abdullah Ibn Um Mukhtoom رضي الله عنه after the Surah Abasa situation, his ﷺ love increased for Hafsah رضي الله عنها when he took her back after divorcing her. She along with Aisha رضي الله عنهم were the ones to look after our Messenger ﷺ when he was ill at the end of his life. Although Aisha and Hafsah رضي

Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S10) Surah [66:10] was a reminder to our mothers (a.s) that they’ve been given tremendous honour, promised paradise, and that they’ve should be extra cautious when dealing with the Messenger ﷺ from here on. Our Messenger ﷺ: “I was preferred over Adam (a.s) with 2 gifts. Firstly, his wife (رضي الله عنها) made him go into transgression, but my wives رضي الله عنهم pushed me to obedience. His Kareen was a disbeliever, mine is Muslim”. What fruit came out of this whole incident? Allah (SWT) Himself praised Hafsah’s رضي الله عنها worship! Thus, it can be said that Allah SWT came to the aid of Hafsah رضي الله عنها. When the Messenger ﷺ took back Hafsah رضي الله عنها, Umar رضي الله عنه said to her: “If the Messenger ﷺ divorces you again, I’ll never speak to you again - so take heed”. Hafsah, and all our mothers (رضي الله عنهم) thus never troubled the Messenger ﷺ again, not even the slightest inconvenience.
