Brother , what brings you to this town

          "Brother , what brings you to this town?"

Before replying , Hadhrat Abuzar (Radhiyallaho anho) took an undertaking from
Hadhrat Ali (Radhiyallaho anho) that he would speak the truth , and then he
enquired from him about Muhammad (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) . Hadhrat
Ali (Radhiyallaho anho) replied :
          "He is verily the Prophet of Allah . You accompany me tomorrow and Ishall
take you to him . But you have to be very careful , lest people come to know of
your association with me , and you get into trouble . When on our way I apprehend
some trouble . I shall get aside pretending some necessity or adjusting my shoes ,
and you will proceed ahead without stopping so that the people may not connect us"
The next day , he followed Hadhrat Ali (Radhiyallaho anho) , who took him before
the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) . In the very first meeting , he embraced
Islam . The Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) , fearing that the Qureysh might
harm him , enjoined upon him not to make an open declartion of his Islam , and
babe him to go back to his clan and return when Muslims had gained the upper
hand . Hadhrat Abuzar (Radhiyallaho anho) replied :

         "O , Prophet of Allah ! By Him who is the master of my soul , I must go and
recite the Kalimah in the midst of these undelievers ."

True to his word , he went straight to the Haram and , right in the midst of the
crowd and at the pitch of his voice , recited Shahadah viz :

" I bear witness that there is god save Allah , and I bear witness that Muhammad
(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) is the Prophet of Allah ."
People fell upon him from all sides , and would have beaten him to death if Abbas
(the Prophet's uncle , who had not till then embraced Islam) had not shielded him
and saved him from death . Abbas said to the mob :
    "Do you know who he is ? He belongs to the Ghifar clan , who live on the way
of our caravans to Syria . If he is killed , they will waylay us and we shall not
be able to trade with that country ."
This appealed to their prudence and they lift him alone .
      The next day , Hadhrat Abuzar (Radhiyallaho anho) repeated his perilous
confession of Imaan and would have surely been beatan to death by the crowd,
had not Abbas intervened once again and saved him for the second time .
     The action of Hadhrat Abuzar (Radhiyallaho anho) was due to his
extraordinary zeal for proclaiming kalimah among the disbelivers , and the
prohibition by the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) was due to the soft
corner in his heart for Hadhrat Abuzar (Radhiyallaho anho), lest he be put
to hardships that might prove too much for him . There is not the least
shadow of disobedience in this episode . Since the Prophet 
(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) himself was undergoing all sorts of hardships
in spreading the message of Islam , Abuzar (Radhiyallaho anho) also
thought it fit to follow his example rather than to avail of his permission
to avoid danger . It was this spirit of Sahabah that took them to the
heights of material and spiritual progress . When a person once recited
the kalimah and entered the fold of Islam , no power on earth could turn
him back and no oppression or tyranny could stop him from Tabligh .

হযরত হোজায়ফা (রাঃ)

হযরত হোজায়ফা (রাঃ) হইতে বর্ণিত আছে, রাসূল (সাঃ) বলিয়াছেন, পোষাকের কারুকাজ যেমন মুছিয়া যায়,
এক সময় ইসলামও মুছিয়া যাইবে। মাসুষ রোযা, সাদকা ও হজ্জ সর্ম্পকে কিছুই জানিবেনা। এমন এক রাত্রি
আসিবে যখন অন্তর হইতে ক্বোরআন উঠাইয়া লওয়া হইবে। পৃথিবীতে ক্বোরআনের একটি আয়াতও অবিশষ্ট
থাকিবেনা। বিভিন্ন স্থানে কিছু বৃদ্ধ পুরুষ মহিলা অবস্থান করিবে। তাহারা বলিবে, আমাদের পূর্বপুরুষদের
আমরা কালেমা পাঠ করিতে শুনায়াছি, এই জন্য আমরাও লা ইলাহা ইল্লাল্লাহ বলিতেছি।হযরত হোজায়ফা (রাঃ) 
কে ছেলা ইবনে জোফার জিজ্ঞাসা করেন, রোযা, সদকা ও হজ্জ না জানিয়া শুধু কালেমা জানিলে তাহা কি উপকারে
আসিবে? পর্যায়ক্রমে তিন বার প্রশ্ন করা হইলো। তৃতীয় বারের পর হযরত হোজায়ফা (রাঃ) বলিলেন, হে ছেলা!
এই কালেমাই তাহাদেরকে দোযখ হইতে মুক্তি দান করিবে।

Hadhrat Bilal ( Radhiyallaho anho )

Hadhrat Bilal ( Radhiyallaho anho ) and his Sufferings :

Hadhrat Bilal ( Radhiyallaho anho ) is one of the best
known of the Sahabah as moazzin of the Prophet's
( Sallallaho alaihe wasallam ) masjid . He was an
Abyssinian slave of a disbeliever in Macca . His
conversion to Islam was , naturally , not liked by
his master and he was , therefore , persecuted mercilessly .
Ummayah bin Khalaf who was the worst enemy of Islam ,
would make him lie down on the burning sand at midday
and would place a heavy stone on his breast , so that he
could not even move a limb . He would thenn asy to him :
" Renounce Islam or swelter and die . "
Even under thesc affliction , Bilal ( Radhiyallaho anho )
would exclaim :-
" Ahad " - The One ( Allah ) . " Ahad " - The One ( Allah ) .
He was whipped at night and with the cuts thus received ,
made to lie on the burning ground during the day to make
him either forsake Islam or to die a lingering death from
wounds . The torturers would get tired and take turns
( Abu Jahl , Umayyah and others )and vie with one another
in afflicting more and painful punishment , but Hadhrat Bilal
( Radhiyallaho anho ) would not yield . At last Abu Bakar
( Radhiyallaho anho ) boughthis freedom , and he became
a free Muslim .
As Islam taught implicitly the oneness of the Almighty
Creator , while the idolaters of Macca believed in many gods
and goddesses with minor godlings , therefore Bilal
( Radhiyallaho anho ) repeated :
" Ahad ( The One ) , Ahad ( The One ) . "
This shows his love and devotion to Allah . Allah was so
dear to him that no amount of persecution could distract
him from reciting His Holy name . It is said that the urchins
of Macca would drag him in the streets , with his words
" Ahad! , Ahad! " ringing in their wake .
Look how Allah rewarded his steadfastness! He was to
have the honour of becoming the Prophet's moazzin . He
was always to remain with him at home and abroad to call out
the Azaan for his Salaat . After the Prophet's death it became
very hard for him to continue his stay in Madinah where he
would miss him at every step and every corner . He theregore
left Madinah , and decided to pass the rest of his life striving
in the path of Allah . Once he beheld the Prophet
( Sallallaho alaihe wasalam ) in his dream saying to him :
" O , Bilal! How is it that you never visit me ."
No sooner did he get up than he set out for Madinah . On
reaching there . Hadhrat Hasan and Hadhrat Husain
( Radhiyallaho anhoma ) ( The Prophet's ( Sallallaho alaihe wasalam)
grandsons ) requested him to call out the Azaan . He could not refuse
them , for they were very dear to him . But as soon as the Azaan
was called , the people of Madinah cried openly out of their anguish
at the memory of the happy old days of the Prophet's
( Sallallaho alaihe wasalam)time . Even the women came out of their houses weeping . Hadhrat Bilal ( Radhiyallaho anhoma )
left Madinah again after a few days and died in Damascus in 20 A . H .
