SACRIFICE OF HADHRAT 'AMR BIN JAMUH (RADIYALLAHU ANHU)
It is a real pity that today we are indifferent or ignorant of the accounts of the sufferings and trials endured by the Holy Prophet, Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) and his Sahaabah (Radiyallahu anhum) in the way of Allah. However, when it comes to adventures or stories that have nothing to do with Islam, or even contrary to Islam, we take great pleasure in savouring them with our eyes and ears. And with attention, we register them in our brain and with passion, we propagate them through our tongue.
It is now time for us to begin to study the life of the Sahaabah (Radiyallahu anhum) and to narrate them in our homes. These narrations are not only a way to affirm our faith and embellish our practices, but they bring Allah's blessing and forgiveness to the readers and all those who listen to them.
Studying the life of the Sahaabah (Radiyallahu anhum) is essential to have a good understanding of Islam because it is through them that we have learned the Qur'an and the Sunnah.
Insha Allah, here our readers will often get the opportunity to read stories about the Sahaabah (Radiyallahu anhum) and we hope that they will be able to make the most of it. This time we will narrate the shahaadat of Hadhrat 'Amr bin Jamuh (Radiyallahu anhu).
Hadhrat 'Amr bin Jamuh (Radiyallahu anhum) was lame. He had four sons who often stayed in the company of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) and who participated in military campaigns. In Uhud, Hadhrat 'Amr (Radiyallahu anhu) had a great desire to join the battle, but the people said to him:
"You don't have to go, you have an excuse of being paralytic." He remarked:
"How sad it is that my sons are going to Paradise when I won't be there."
His wife also wanted him to go to battle and be martyred so that she could have the honour of being the widow of a Shaheed (martyr). To encourage him, she said to him:
"I don't think people stopped you from going to battle. It seems to me that you are the one who is afraid to participate."
At these words, Hadhrat 'Amr (Radiyallahu anhu) armed himself and, turning to the Qiblah, prayed to Allah:
"O Allah! Don't let me come back to my family."
'Amr (Radiyallahu anhu) went to the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) and said to him:
"I have always wanted to be a martyr but my family has always prevented me from going to the battlefield. O Prophet of Allah! I can no longer resist my desire. Let me join the fight. I hope to enter Paradise with my invalid foot."
The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) replied:
"You have an excuse. There's nothing wrong with you staying at home."
But 'Amr (Radiyallahu anhu) insisted and in the end the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) allowed him to join the battle.
Hadhrat Abu Talha (Radiyallahu anhu) narrated:
I saw 'Amr (Radiyallahu anhu) in battle. He walked with honour, saying:
"By Allah! I love Paradise." One of his sons followed him very closely. The father and son fought until they were killed.
His wife, on hearing of the death of her husband and son, came with a camel to bring the bodies. It was said that when the bodies were loaded onto the camel, it refused to stand up. After several whippings they managed to get it to its leg, but it did not want to go to Madinah and still took the direction of Uhud. When the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) was informed of this event, he said:
"The camel was ordered to do so. Did 'Amr not say anything when he left his house?"
The wife of 'Amr (Radiyallahu anhu) informed the Prophet that 'Amr (Radiyallahu anhu), facing the Qiblah, had prayed to Allah in these terms:
"O Allah! Don't let me come back to my family."
The Prophet of Allah (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) said:
"That's why the camel refuses to return home."
See how our ancestors in Islam suffered in the path of Allah. They sacrificed their wealth, their families and their lives for the triumph of Islam. Out of love for Allah Ta'ala, for his beloved Prophet (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam) and for his Deen, they sacrificed everything so that the light of Islam would reach us. However, today all this is erased by our bad behaviour. Is this the recognition we owe them?
