لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله

[Ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Hāshimī @hashimiyy_]

Sayyidunā al-Barāʾ ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه was one of the bravest companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and among the most renowned warriors and horsemen of the Anṣār. His fearlessness in battle became famous among the early Muslims.

He was al-Barāʾ ibn Mālik ibn al-Naḍr ibn Ḍamḍam ibn Zayd ibn Ḥarām ibn Jundub ibn ʿĀmir ibn Ghanm ibn ʿAdī ibn al-Najjār, al-Anṣārī al-Najjārī.

His mother was Sayyidatunā Umm Sulaym bint Milḥān رضي الله عنها, and he was the full brother of Sayyidunā Anas ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه, the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Al-Barāʾ grew up in a distinguished household of the Anṣār. His mother Umm Sulaym was among the early Muslim women of Medina and was herself known for courage and devotion, while his brother Anas spent ten years serving the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Sayyidunā al-Barāʾ رضي الله عنه did not participate at Badr, but he fought at the Battle of Uḥud while still young. He later witnessed the Battle of the Trench and the subsequent campaigns with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he is also reported to have pledged allegiance beneath the Tree at al-Ḥudaybiyyah.

Despite the ferocity for which he later became famous, al-Barāʾ was also known for having a beautiful voice and would chant ḥudāʾ for the men during their journeys.

He was outwardly unassuming, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said concerning him:

���How many a weak man, regarded as insignificant and wearing two worn garments, is such that if he were to swear an oath by Allah, Allah would surely fulfill it for him. Among them is al-Barāʾ ibn Mālik.”

After the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in 11 AH, al-Barāʾ fought in the Wars of Apostasy during the caliphate of Sayyidunā Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq رضي الله عنه. His greatest exploits came during the Battle of al-Yamāmah against Musaylimah the Liar and the forces of Banū Ḥanīfah.

When the fighting became severe, Sayyidunā Khālid ibn al-Walīd رضي الله عنه called upon al-Barāʾ to rally the Muslims. Al-Barāʾ mounted his horse, praised Allah, and called out:

“O people of Medina! There is no Medina for you today. It is only Allah alone and Paradise!”

He then charged, and the Muslims charged with him until the forces of Musaylimah retreated into the fortified enclosure that later became known as the Garden of Death.

When the Muslims were unable to breach its defenses, al-Barāʾ said:

“O Muslims, throw me over to them!”

He sat upon a shield and ordered his companions to raise him upon their spears and cast him over the wall.

Al-Barāʾ landed alone among the defenders and fought them from within the garden. One report states that he killed ten men before the Muslims reached him.

He continued fighting until he succeeded in opening the gate, allowing the Muslim army to enter. The Muslims poured into the garden, and Musaylimah was eventually killed.

Al-Barāʾ survived the assault but suffered more than eighty wounds from arrows and sword blows. His injuries were so severe that Sayyidunā Khālid ibn al-Walīd رضي الله عنه remained with him for approximately a month while his wounds were treated.

During the same battle, al-Barāʾ encountered a formidable warrior known as Ḥimār al-Yamāmah. The man was described as tall and imposing, while al-Barāʾ himself was short. Al-Barāʾ struck his legs, brought him down, and seized his sword.

During the caliphate of Sayyidunā ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه, al-Barāʾ continued fighting in the Muslim campaigns against the Sasanian Empire. His daring became so famous that ʿUmar wrote to the commanders of the Muslim armies:

“Do not appoint al-Barāʾ ibn Mālik over an army of the Muslims, for he is one of the dangers who will plunge them into destruction.”

This was not because his courage was doubted, but because al-Barāʾ was so daring in battle that ʿUmar feared an entire army might follow him into dangers that few men could survive.

During one of the Persian campaigns, al-Barāʾ and his brother Anas were fighting near an enemy fortress. The defenders were casting iron hooks attached to heated chains, catching Muslim soldiers and pulling them upward.

One of these hooks caught Sayyidunā Anas ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه and lifted him from the ground. Al-Barāʾ was told:

“Save your brother!”

He rushed toward him, seized the heated chain with his bare hands, and continued pulling despite the heat until it broke and Anas was freed. His hands were badly burned in the process, but through his courage Allah saved his brother Anas.

Al-Barāʾ also distinguished himself in single combat during the Persian conquests. He fought a Persian commander, Marzubān al-Zārah, grappled with him, threw him to the ground, and killed him with the man’s own dagger.

Al-Barāʾ took his valuable personal equipment, including bracelets and a belt, reportedly worth thirty thousand.

The matter was referred to Sayyidunā ʿUmar رضي الله عنه, who ordered that one-fifth be taken because of its exceptional value and that the remainder be left to al-Barāʾ.

His reputation as a duelist became extraordinary. Sayyidunā Anas رضي الله عنه once entered upon his brother while al-Barāʾ was reclining and melodiously chanting poetry.

When Anas admonished him, al-Barāʾ sat upright and said:

“O Anas, do you think I will die upon my bed when I have killed one hundred of the polytheists in single combat, apart from those whose killing I shared in?”

Al-Barāʾ did not expect to die quietly upon his bed. He hoped for martyrdom on the battlefield.

The Muslim armies eventually reached Tustar and al-Sūs in Khūzistān, where they faced fierce Persian resistance. When the Muslims suffered heavy losses, they remembered what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said concerning al-Barāʾ and asked him to swear an oath by his Lord.

Al-Barāʾ said:

“I adjure You, O my Lord, to grant us their shoulders,” asking Allah to cause the enemy to turn their backs in defeat.

The Muslims attacked, and the enemy was routed.

When the fighting became severe once again, the Muslims returned to al-Barāʾ and asked him to supplicate.

This time he said:

“I adjure You, O my Lord, to grant us their shoulders and to join me with Your Prophet ﷺ.”

Allah granted the Muslims victory, and Sayyidunā al-Barāʾ ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه was martyred during the fighting at Tustar.

The reports place his martyrdom around 20–21 AH. Among those who fell in the same campaign was the renowned warrior Mujazzaʾah ibn Thawr.

Sayyidunā al-Barāʾ ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه became famous as the warrior who went where others could not: over the walls of al-Yamāmah, into single combat with enemy champions, and into the fiercest ranks of the Persian armies.

He had once asked his brother:

“Do you think I will die upon my bed?” He did not. After Uḥud, al-Yamāmah, more than eighty wounds, the Garden of Death, and the wars against Persia, al-Barāʾ finally asked Allah for victory for the Muslims and reunion with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

He was granted both.

May Allah, Most High, be pleased with Sayyidunā al-Barāʾ ibn Mālik al-Anṣārī, the hero and repeatedly charging warrior of the Anṣār.

"But female doctors" is such a poor argument for mass female education. You don't need mass female education to produce the relatively tiny amount of female physicians necessary. There are better arguments if you care to develop them.

[Mohammed @IKON1436]

Ever saw men saying things like "me sitting in Jahannam with r*pists and pedos because I wore gold, didn't lower my gaze, etc,."?

These feminist bints are tools of Shaytan. May Allah save the Ummah from their fitnah.

Not even close, my friend.

In 692 CE, Byzantine Emperor Justinian II threatened to print insults against Prophet Muhammad on gold coins.

Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik immediately broke peace treaty, minted the first independent Islamic currency, and launched an invasion that permanently took Armenia..

[Umar Elhashmi @UmarElhashmi]

Imagine saying Umar (ra) took from Abu Jahl, look at this silsilah! We should never take from Umar (ra) now!

Foolish.

Umar (ra) prior to Islam, is different to Umar (ra) after Islam.

Likewise, al-Ash’ari prior to taking from the scholars of the Sunnah, is different to al-Ash’ari after taking from the scholars of the Sunnah.

Then the speaker quotes al-Bidaayah disingenuously, because Imam Ibn Katheer (ra) himself states the following in the same book:

أخذ الحديث عن زكريا بن يحيى الساجي وتفقه بابن سريج
Abu Hasan al-Ash’ari studied Hadith under Shaykh Zakariyyah ibn Yahya al-Saaji and Fiqh under Ibn Surayj.

Two of the greatest Shafi’i scholars of the time, who’s chains go to the Prophet ﷺ.

Among other scholars I’m sure if anyone looked it up they’d find.

So where is this silsilah of deviance after al-Ash’ari left his previous beliefs?

Then one foolishly states “Ashaa’irah take from Labeed by their chain of narration.” Authubillah from such ignorance.

One has to be harsh in speech at times when speaking to someone who knows they are spreading misinformation but continue to do so.

May Allah not test us with such an affliction.

The translator tells the reporter in Urdu: "She wants you to wind up soon because she has to look after her baby".

Pretty malicious to invent some story about her husband as the cause for the interview to be concluded.
