Companions of Rasulullah

Assalamualaikum.

Alhamdulillah. Tadi ada dengar satu talk ni di Bond University. Awal-awalnya, kawan kata talk ni pasal Hadis 40. So, memang bersemangat nak dengar tambah-tambah pula speaker nya bukan Malay. So, I was very excited. Tapi bila sampai sana tiba-tiba talk tu bertukar jadi macam seerah. Tapi still interesting.

So, nak share sikit dgn readers apa yang best yang saya dapat.

1) Abu Bakar dikatakan courageous dan brave bila dia stand alone on his decision untuk memerangi golongan murtad bila Umar dan Uthman pon tak sokong decison yang beliau buat. Speaker tu kata keadaan time tu sangat genting sebenarnya. Kalau x ditangani golongan murtad ni, memang habislah umat Islam dan sia-sialah usaha Rasullah. MasyaAllah, saya tak pernah sangka sampai begitu sekali gentingnya situasi tu.

2) Rupa-rupanya Umar dan Uthman memang dah tahu yang diorang akan syahid. Speaker tu share sebuah hadis. Time tu tengah perang Uhud, Rasulullah, Abu Bakar, Uthman dan Umar ada kat atas bukit Uhud. Tiba-tiba, bukit tu bergoncang. Then Rasulullah kata yang lebih kurang maksudnya  "Berhenti bergoncang. Sesungguhnya yang berdiri di atas engkau ni adalah seorang Nabi, As- Siddiq (membenarkan) dan 2 orang syuhada." Just Wow! Bila saya dengar hadis ni, rasa kagum sangat pada sahabat Rasulullah sebab memang diorang the Great Companian. Bertambah rasa kecintaan pada diorang. May all of us strive to be like them. InsyaAllah.

3) Hasan bin Ali jadi khalifah selepas Ali R.A tapi selama 6 bulan sahaja sebab lepas tu dia serahkan jawatan tu pada Muawiyah.

4) Muawiyah is one of the Good Companion  We cannot deny that fact. However, he did make mistake when he gave the tittle of khulafa to his son, Yazid b Muawiyah because there is no monarchy in Islam. Having said that,we should see how Muawiyah justified himself. While we need to be more understanding, we should make it clear that there is no monarchy in Islam.

That is all for this post. InsyaAllah will try to share more next week.

P/s: I was offered to take a course to study Hadith 50 (Hadith 40 Iman Nawawi + 10 other Hadiths). It will cost me AUD250 instead of AUD1000 because I am a student. The course also a self-paced course up o a year. Should I take the course? I'm very interested though.. hmm..
