S65 - Hadrat Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra) - The Kufans grieved over Mugheera’s رضي الله عنه passing
18/07/2025 Duración: 23minal-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه (S65) When al-Mugheera رضي الله عنه passed away, Jarir Ibn Abdullah رضي الله عنه said to the Kufans: “Ask for Afiyah for your governor [i.e Mugheera رضي الله عنه], because he used to love Afiyah”. The Kufans grieved over Mugheera’s رضي الله عنه passing. Afiyah is a means of protection, security and forgiveness, it aids us in this life and the next. It was this that our Messenger ﷺ advised his uncle, Abaas رضي الله عنه to ask for. No one has been given anything better after certainty, than Afiyah. Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى loves being asked for Afiyah, over anything. During his lifetime, Mugheera رضي الله عنه advised not to wail over the deceased. When one of the Ansar, Qarza Ibn Ka’ba رضي الله عنه passed away, the people wailed. Mugheera رضي الله عنه said: “What has wailing got to do with Islam? I heard the Messenger ﷺ say: ‘The one who is wailed over, will be punished’.”. (Punishment here meaning a mental discomfort is to be felt by the deceased. Excessive praise i

S64 - Hadrat Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra) - In 50 A.H, during Mugheera’s رضي الله عنه seventh year ruling Kufa, the Angel of Death (a.s) arrived.
17/07/2025 Duración: 25minal-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه (S64) In 50 A.H, during Mugheera’s رضي الله عنه seventh year ruling Kufa, the Angel of Death (a.s) arrived. A once muscular Mugheera رضي الله عنه was now old and pale. There was a plague in Kufa, thus it’s possible Mugheera رضي الله عنه was martyred by the plague. Thus passed away; The handsome, genius and one of the four shrewdest Arabs. The best fruit from Ta’if. The one who destroyed Laat. The one who our Messenger ﷺ called his beloved son. The last to physically touch our Messenger ﷺ. Governor of Bahrain, Busra and Kufa. The warrior for Allah’s سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى sake. The grand nephew of Urwah Ibn Masood رضي الله عنه - al-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba! رضي الله عنه He رضي الله عنه was martyred in Sha’baan, 50 A.H, aged ~80. Plagues were a punishment for previous Ummahs, however for ours, due to our Messenger ﷺ making a dua, they are a means of martyrdom for us.

S63 - Hadrat Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra) - Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم: “Those who revile the companions (رضي الله عنهم), are not part of ‘them’”.
17/07/2025 Duración: 22minal-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه (S63) Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم: “Those who revile the companions (رضي الله عنهم), are not part of ‘them’”. ‘them’ here refers to Surah Hashr: 10. Verses 8-9 mention the Muhajireen and Ansar (رضي الله عنهم), verse 10 mentions we, the believers who came after and who pray for the forgiveness of those that came before, and that we should not have any hatred in our hearts towards them. Ziyad Ibn Abee had stabilised Iraq, thus asked Muawiya رضي الله عنه for control over the Hijaaz as ‘his hand was free’. The people were worried so went to Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم and sought help. Abdullah رضي الله عنه faced the Ka’ba and made the dua: “O Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى, save us from the evil of Ziyad”. A swelling appeared on Ziyads hand, and he passed away from this. It was Ziyad’s son, Ubaydallah who was the one that martyred Imam Hussain and his family رضي الله عنهم.

S62 - Hadrat Mugheerah ibn Shu'uba (ra) - When Muawiya رضي الله عنه faced the pangs of death he said thrice: “My day is for you, O Hujr [رضي الله عنه]”.
17/07/2025 Duración: 26minal-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه (S62) When Muawiya رضي الله عنه faced the pangs of death he said thrice: “My day is for you, O Hujr [رضي الله عنه]”. When Hujr رضي الله عنه was imprisoned his comrades requested him to make a dua for their freedom. Hujr رضي الله عنه made the following, critical dua: “O Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى, grant us what is better, martyrdom or freedom”. Martyrdom was chosen. This dua highlights something very significant - that martyrdom was the best course for them, and thus Muawiya’s رضي الله عنه view was correct. Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى is The Greatest Judge. Many years prior to this, Ali رضي الله عنه said: “7 of your people will be killed, like those mentioned in Surah Burooj”. Hujr رضي الله عنه was referred to as Hujr al-Khayr, I.e the good Hujr. Some scholars say he embraced Islam in the year of delegations. Some say he was a junior Sahaba, some say senior Tabi’een. He was an ascetic, immense worshiper, always in wudhu and took care of his mother. To sum up the ma

14/07/2025 Duración: 27minal-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه (S61) Muawiya رضي الله عنه appointed Ziyad Ibn Abee as next governor of Kufa. He also governed Busra - spending 6 months in each city. With Hasan’s رضي الله عنه martyrdom, Hujr رضي الله عنه thought his binding was over, thus began speaking up. He رضي الله عنه was a supporter of Imam Ali (a.s). Mugheera’s رضي الله عنه words were true. Ziyad did not show the same treatment to Hujr رضي الله عنه as Mugheera رضي الله عنه did. Amongst other things, when Ziyad found out Hujr رضي الله عنه had a gathering in his house in which were supporters of Ali رضي الله عنه, and that Hujr رضي الله عنه threw pebbles at Ziyad, tensions rose. Ziyad sent police to arrest Hujr رضي الله عنه and solve matters. After some resistance, Hujr رضي الله عنه and 13 of his close allies were arrested and sent to Ameer ul-Mumineen Muawiya رضي الله عنه. Ziyad sent a letter that there is witnesses that testify to these men criticising the Khalif.

Sa’eed رضي الله عنه passed away just before Muawiya رضي الله عنه, around 57-59 A.H - thus he was protected from witnessing the fitnah that ensued.

10/07/2025 Duración: 23minal-Mugheera ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه (S57) When Sa’eed Ibn al-Aas رضي الله عنه was previously governor of Kufa, he conquered Tabristan, Jarjaan and settled the uprising in Azerbaijan. He was known for his incredible strength and bravery. Just as one searches for the new moon in Ramadan, people would search for Sa’eed on the battlefield to witness his show. He رضي الله عنه was extremely generous. A man had 4 blood moneys that needed paying, 4 people were suggested; Hasan Ibn Ali, Abdullah Ibn Jafar, Sa’eed Ibn al-Aas and Ubaydallah Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنهم. A man once wept when Sa’eed رضي الله عنه helped him. The man said: “Where will I find a man like you on Earth after your passing?”. Sa’eed رضي الله عنه would put himself in debt just to aid others. Our Messenger ﷺ said whoever is in a [lawful] debt, then Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى is with you. Indeed, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى was with Sa’eed.

10/07/2025 Duración: 27minal-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه (S56) A now elderly Mugheera asks Ameer Muawiya رضي الله عنهم if he can be removed from his post in Kufa - Muawiya originally didn’t want to remove him but upon seeing the aged physical condition of Mugheera, he decided to relieve him from the post. Muawiya رضي الله عنه wanted the replacement to be Sa’eed Ibn al-Aas رضي الله عنه - a brief overview of this elite companion: He was first cousins with Ameer ul Mumineen Uthman Ibn Affan رضي الله عنه. He was a descendant of Abd Manaf. He was of the most eloquent amongst the Quraysh, his speech matching The Messenger’s ﷺ himself! Sa’eed رضي الله عنه was extremely righteous and Mugheera رضي الله عنه didn’t want him to have to deal with the Kufans - so Mugheera رضي الله عنه asked Yazeed Ibn Muawiya to ask his father if he should succeed. This silences those who claim Muawiya رضي الله عنه wanted his son to succeed him straight away out of nepotism! Mugheera رضي الله عنه was appointed as governor of Kufa again, to pave the way
