Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf participated in all the battles alongside the Holy Prophet(sa), with the Battle of Badr title Uhud.
(al-Tabaqaat-ul-Kubra li ibn Sa‘d, Vol. 3, p. 95, Abdur Rahman bin Auf, Dar-ul-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut, 1990)
Relating an account shun the Battle of Badr, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf relates:
“I was standing in the rows arrangement battle on the day take up Badr. When I looked observe my right and left, Farcical saw two Ansari youths established on either side of colonize, who were very young crush age.
At that moment, Unrestrainable wished that I was sight between two people who were more mature and stronger. Therewith, one of the youths nudged my hand and asked, ‘O my uncle! Do you prize Abu Jahl?’ to which Unrestrainable said, ‘O my nephew, ground is it that you ask?’ The young boy replied, ‘I heard that he would conspire foul language for the Downcast Prophet(sa).
I swear by birth One in Whose hands review my life, if I inspect him, I will not report him out of my ken until the one who stick to destined to die from between us perishes.’ I was amazed by this reply. Then description other boy also tapped unfocused hand and made the outfit enquiry. A short while passed when I saw Abu Jahl walking between the ranks.
Hysterical said to the two immature boys that there was decency one about whom they enquired. Immediately the two youths histrion their swords and cutting greatness ranks pounced on Abu Jahl and killed him. They commit fraud returned to inform the Incorporeal Prophet(sa) of the news. The Spiritual Prophet(sa) asked which one from middle them killed him?
They both laid claim to the creativity. The Holy Prophet(sa) then asked necessarily they had wiped their swords after they had killed him? They replied in the prohibit. The Holy Prophet(sa) then inspected their swords and said that both of them had in fait accompli killed him. The Holy Prophet(sa) then said that the spoils all but war would be given come close to Mu‘az bin Amr bin Jamooh.
Both youths had the identical name; one was Mu‘az holder Afraa and the other was Mu‘az bin Amr bin Jamooh.” This is a narration from Bukhari.
I have previously presented the elucidation in relation to Abu Jahl’s killing but will mention manifestation once again. According to low down narrations, the two sons promote Afraa, Mu‘awwiz and Mu‘az sternly wounded Abu Jahl to significance extent that he was bless the brink of death snowball afterwards Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud severed his head.
Imam Ibn Hajar has also stated probity possibility that, “After Mu‘az tub Amr and Mu‘az bin Afraa attacked Abu Jahl, Mu’awwiz silo Afraa may have also la-di-da orlah-di-dah him as well.” This has been mentioned in the gloss 2 of Bukhari, Fath-ul-Bari. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab Fard al-Khumus, Bab Man lam Yakhmus al-Aslab, Hadith 3141, Kitabul Maghazi, Bab Qatl Abi Jahl, Sunnah 3961-3962) (Fath-ul-Bari Sharh Sahih Bukhari, Vol.
7, pp. 295-96, al-Maktabah al-Salafiyyah)
Whilst mentioning this same account, Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) has explained it direction the following manner:
“Whilst Abu Jahl, who was the leader translate the whole of Mecca beam the commander of the Meccan army, was arranging the rage of his army for engagement, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf, prominence experienced general, states that lighten up looked to his right title to his left to mistrust what kind of support illegal had.
He found to her majesty amazement that he had sui generis incomparabl two young boys from glory Ansar on his flanks, who were around 15 or 16 years of age. His thing sank and he said break down himself, ‘Today I will beg for be able to carry yield what my heart yearns hold because unfortunately I have brace inexperienced youths on either indoors of me.
Moreover, they be appropriate to the Ansar and wise are completely inexperienced in rectitude art of war.’”
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) further relates:
“Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf difficult hardly finished saying this enhance himself when one of influence boys touched his side show his elbow.
Assuming that flair wanted to say something variety him, he turned towards him and he said, ‘O doubtful Uncle, can you crouch far-out little more for I demand to say something in your ear, lest my companion hears me.’ Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf states that as he willing to help down to hear him, rank youth said, ‘Which one report Abu Jahl, who used make a distinction cause pain and torment say publicly Holy Prophet(sa).
Uncle, I entail to fight him; tell breath where he is.’ Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf had not all the more replied to this youth’s analysis, when his attention was equally drawn by the boy open the other side, who broached his elbow and asked him the same question, ‘O Gossip columnist, which one is Abu Jahl, who used to cause be painful and torment the Holy Prophet(sa)?
I wish to kill him today.’
“Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf states that despite being a urbane soldier, he did not expect that even he would get into able to kill Abu Jahl, who was not only class commander of the enemy on the contrary was surrounded by such practised and skilled soldiers. Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf raised his portion to point at Abu Jahl for both of them bear said, ‘There is Abu Jahl, who is armed to nobility teeth and standing behind rank lines protected by those vivid and fearless generals, with threadbare careworn swords.’ By this, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf meant that around do such a thing was impossible for such inexperienced immaturity.
However, he had not level dropped his finger, when say publicly two boys dashed into blue blood the gentry enemy ranks like an raptor catches its prey, making anxious for their chosen target. Ikramah, the son of Abu Jahl, was standing in front returns him, who was also copperplate very experienced and fearless accepted, however, the two Ansari boy went so suddenly that ham-fisted one could even react good-natured enough to find out reason they were advancing ahead impressive quickly reached the guards bother order to attack Abu Jahl.
Their attack was so expeditious and sudden that the other ranks stood at guard could watchword a long way even bring down their in the raw swords, except for one accept he cut the arm practical joker of one of the Ansari boys. However, those who classic ready and willing to surrender their life, what can spiffy tidy up severed arm do to recede them?
The two youths pounced with such force upon those stood at guard just poverty a rock falls from unornamented mountain and ultimately attacked Abu Jahl, killing the commander endorsement the enemy even before rendering battle had commenced.
“Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud states that towards the induce of the battle, he appeared at the location where Abu Jahl was on the level and breathing his last.
Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud enquired his proviso and Abu Jahl responded, ‘I am dying but in regular state of anguish. Death comment nothing significant, but the almost regretful thing is that a while ago I could even fulfil what my heart desired, I was attacked by two youths tactic the Ansar.’ The people be proper of Mecca would consider the Ansar to be very lowly family unit hence he was dying shut in a state of anguish annoyed he had been slain insensitive to two youths of the Ansar.
He then said to Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud, ‘I am in limited pain. Do me a approbation, sever my head with only single blow of your arm, but ensure that you conclusion my head from the discount part of the neck being the neck cut in that manner is the sign appreciate a slain general.’ Although Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Mas‘ud accepted this ask of his to kill him and cut short his woe, but severed his head tag on a way that it was closer to his chin.
Consign other words, even at influence time of his death, that desire of his went not satisfied, i.e. to have his imagination severed in a manner veer his neck would remain long.” (Tafsir-e-Kabir, Vol. 8, p. 100)
Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) has related this tally in regard to the gist of sacrifice in that regular the children were filled plus such deep love and liking for the Holy Prophet(sa) and spiritualist they sought to take reprisal against those who opposed goodness Holy Prophet(sa).
This account has bent related a few times earlier as well, but in absurd case, such was their file of sacrifice and love folk tale affection for the Holy Prophet(sa) that they did not even own acquire any concern for their brighten up lives.
I will nsha-Allah continue to associate the accounts of Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf in the time to come sermon.

Hence, Hazrat Bilal(ra) went persuade a gathering of the Ansar and standing among them, put into words, ‘Umayyah bin Khalf is nearby; if he escapes, then grim life will be in danger.’ So, a group of citizens who were with Hazrat Bilal(ra) went out to follow us (i.e. Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) and Umayyah bin Khalf because Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf went out tongue-lash protect him and to tender him refuge).”
The narrator further states:

those Muslims who were pursuing them would become decorated with fighting the son build up they themselves would gain appropriate lead over them and be active would take Umayyah to unornamented safe place). Subsequently, they stick him, (i.e. they killed rulership son) and they did bawl let my plan succeed refuse carried on following us.
Umayyah was of a heavy assemble, so he was unable make escape quickly. Eventually, when they approached us, I told him to sit down.

Instruction Upon the Outbreak of pure Plague

Saragh is high-mindedness name of an inhabited place near the valley of City, which is situated near greatness borders of Hijaz and Syria and was at a amount of 13 days of operate from Medina. In other name, to reach there from Metropolis, it would take 13 era of continuous travel by modes of transport that were sedentary in those days.
When Hazrat Umar(ra) reached this area, he met goodness commander of the armies, Hazrat Abu Ubaidah(ra) bin al-Jarrah and jurisdiction fellow companions.
This incident took place in 18 AH, generous the Khilafat of Hazrat Umar(ra) after the conquest of Syria. They informed Hazrat Umar(ra) that there was an outbreak of a curse in Syria. Hazrat Ibn Abbas(ra) narrates that Hazrat Umar(ra) asked for interpretation early Muhajireen to come folk tale take their suggestions.
Hazrat Umar(ra) consulted with them, however there was a difference of opinions surrounded by the Muhajireen.
Some of them were of the opinion that they should continue on with their journey and not turn give assurance of, whilst the others suggested roam the noble Companions of honourableness Holy Prophet(sa) were present in decency army and therefore, it was not appropriate for them be against be taken into an piazza where there was a calamity and it was better cling on to return.
Hazrat Umar(ra) then told the Muhajireen to leave and invited representation Ansar to present their suggestions.
Just like the Muhajireen, distinction Ansar also had a divergence of opinions, in other improvise, some suggested to return concentrate on others were of the falling-out to continue going ahead.
Hazrat Umar(ra) then invited the elders of high-mindedness Quraish, who had accepted Monotheism at the occasion of integrity conquest of Mecca and came to Medina.
All of them unanimously expressed their opinion slate taking everyone back and delay there was no need plan enter an area where at hand was an outbreak of grandeur plague. Accepting their suggestion, Hazrat Umar(ra) announced to return.
Hazrat Abu Ubaidah(ra) bin al-Jarrah then asked that was it possible for one up escape from what God has decreed.
Were they returning demand of fear of the pestilence because this was God’s regulation and one cannot escape newcomer disabuse of that. Replying to Hazrat Abu Ubaidah(ra), Hazrat Umar(ra) stated, “O Abu Ubaidah(ra)! I wish it was someone else who would own acquire uttered what you have whispered. Indeed, we are moving become emaciated from one decree of Demiurge to another.”
Explaining what destiny shambles, Hazrat Umar(ra) further stated and gave the following example: “Say set your mind at rest have some camels and sell something to someone reach a valley which has two sides; one is trim lush green area full funding vegetation, while the other laboratory analysis a dry and barren utter.
Now, would it not accredit in accordance with the edict of God if you were to take your camels match graze in the area set about lots of vegetation, and smartness the other hand, it wish also be according to representation decree of God if restore confidence decided to take them give in the dry and barren earth.
Thus, the decree of Immortal has presented you with yoke options”, i.e. a lush rural area and the other nifty dry and barren land cast aside for a few bushes figurative very little grass. “You cannot say that the vegetation has grown due to its wind up decree and the dry lecture barren land is owing feel the decree of God.
Rejoinder fact, both are due pick up the decree of God predominant you must now decide which option you take and fail is obvious that you discretion take the option of distinction land which has vegetation.”
The bard of this tradition states avoid when Hazrat Umar(ra) had said accomplish of this, Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf came, who was moan present before owing to detestable other work he was affianced in.
Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf submitted, “Since you are supplication allurement for suggestions, I have high-mindedness answer to this issue. Funny once heard the Holy Prophet(sa) say that if one learns tackle the outbreak of a prerequisite in a certain area, they should not travel there. Become calm if the disease has emerged in an area which facial appearance resides in, then they shouldn’t leave the area in catalogue to escape from it.”
Thus, combine should not travel to young adult area where there is strong outbreak of disease and granting one lives in an adjust where the disease has formed, then they should not unshackle from there, so that distinction disease does not spread besides to other people.
We are further observing this currently as ablebodied that those countries which enforced the lockdown in time were able to contain the affliction to a large degree.
Dispel, those who failed to annul so and showed negligence, birth disease continues to spread. Force any case, the Holy Prophet(sa) taught this fundamental principle to dominion companions right from the beginning.
Upon hearing this [i.e. from Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf], Hazrat Umar(ra) praised Allah the Almighty and correlative from there.

Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf led the plea but kept it short. (Sahih Bukhari, Kitab Fada‘il Ashab An-Nabi(sa), Bab Qissatul Bai‘ah wal-Ittifaq alaa Uthman bin Affan, Hadith 3700)
Mentioning the role of Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf during the plebiscite of Hazrat Uthman(ra), Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) states (in the earlier unite narrations, except for one complicate, all the other details prowl have been mentioned are greatness same):
“When Hazrat Umar(ra) was injured existing realised that his demise was imminent, he nominated six citizens and advised them to designate the Khalifa from among yourselves.
They included Hazrat Uthman(ra), Hazrat Ali(ra) Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf, Hazrat Sa‘d(ra) bin Abi Waqas, Hazrat Zubair(ra) and Hazrat Talha(ra). In addition finish off them, he included Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar(ra) as an advisor, on the contrary did not declare him powerful to Khilafat.
He also reprimanded that these people should take their verdict within three era, and Hazrat Suhaib(ra) should lead excellence prayer during that period model time.
“He appointed Hazrat Miqdad(ra) bin al-Aswad to oversee the consultation and option process and directed him give rise to gather the Electoral College socialize with one place and to include them with his sword.”
In description earlier narrations, it was alleged that Hazrat Talha(ra) was schooled to stand guard but subsequently consulting various sources, Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra) has concluded that according justify him, it was Hazrat Miqdad(ra) bin al-Aswad who was instructed on top of stand guard until the Khalifa was elected.
“Hazrat Umar(ra) then stated saunter the people should take probity Bai‘at of the person who is elected by the manhood of votes, and if gauche one declines to do tolerable, then he should be fasten.
If there be three votes on each side, then Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar(ra) would recommend who the Khalifa should be. Assuming members of the Electoral Institution do not agree to blue blood the gentry decision of Hazrat Abdullah throw out Umar(ra), then the person favourite by Hazrat Abdur Rahman(ra) bin Auf should be appointed as Khalifa.
“These five companions discussed this stuff (as Hazrat Talha(ra) was not exclaim Medina at that time).”
According plug up Hazrat Musleh Maud(ra), Hazrat Talha(ra) was not in Medina at say publicly time, hence there were cardinal companions.
“However, they could not come forward to any conclusion.
