जंगल का शेर

हुजूर सल्लल्लाहु अलैहि वसल्लम को एक सहाबी जिनका नाम सफ़ीना था, एक दफ़ा एक किश्ती में सवार हुए । इत्तिफाक से किश्ती टकरा कर टूट गयी । हज़रत सफ़ीना एक तख़्ते पर बहते हुए चले गये। कुछ देर के बाद वह तख़्ता एक किनारे पर आ लगा। हज़रत सफ़ीना वहां उतरे तो एक जंगल में जहां शेर और दरिन्दे थे, जा पहुंचे। एक शेर ने जब आपको देखा तो आप पर हमला करने को दौड़ा। हज़रत सफ़ीना ने पुकार कर कहा ख़बरदार ऐ शेर! देख मैं रसूलुल्लाह सल्लल्लाहु अलैहि वसल्लम का गुलाम हूं। यह सुनते ही शेर ने अपना सर झुका लिया और हज़रत सफ़ीना के पास पहुंचकर अपनी दुम हिलाने लगा और अपने इशारे से हज़रत सफ़ीना को अपने पीछे लगाकर आपको एक ऐसे रास्ते पर लाकर खड़ा कर दिया जिसपर चलकर हज़रत सफ़ीना सही सालिम घर पहुंच गये। )

(हुज्जतुल-लाह अलल-आलमीन सफा ८७३, मिश्कात शरीफ सफा ५३७ सबक़ : सहाबाए किराम की वह अज़मत थी कि जंगल के शेर भी उनके गुलाम थे। जो सहाबाए किराम के गुलाम हैं वही दरअसल शेर हैं।

He (Ibn Sa’d) said: Muhammad Ibn ‘Umar al-Aslami informed us; he
said: Abu Bakr Ibn ‘Abd Allah Ibn Sabrah related to me on the authority
of Abu ‘Umayr al-Ta’i orphan slave of al-Zuhri; (second chain) he (Ibn
Sa’d) said: Hisham Ibn Muhammad Ibn al-Sá’ib al-Kalbi informed us;
he said: Ubadah al-Ta'i informed us on the authority of his masters; they said: A deputation of Tayy waited on the Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him. It consisted of fifteen members and their leader and chief was Zayd al-Khayr, and he is Zayd al-Khayl Ibn Muhalhil a branch of Banu Nabhan. (Its members) were Wazar Ibn Jabir Ibn Sadus Ibn Asma' al￾Nabhani, Qabisah Ibn al-Aswad Ibn 'Amir, a member of the Jarm, a branch of the Tayy, Malik Ibn 'Abd Allah Ibn Khaybara, a member of Banu Ma'n, Qu'ayn Ibn Khulayf Ibn Jadilah and a person from Banu Bawlan. They entered al-Madinah and when the Apostle of Allah was in the mosque. They tied their beasts in the courtyard of the mosque. Then they entered and became close to the Apostle of Allah. He invited them to embrace Islam. They embraced Islam and he awarded to each of them five uqiyahs of silver, giving twelve aqiyahs and a half to Zayd al-Khayl. The Apostle of Allah said: No Arab was mentioned to me but I found him short of what was mentioned to me except Zayd, and all of his attributes were not mentioned to me. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, named him Zayd al-Khayl. He granted him Fayd and two farms as fief. He wrote a document in respect of it and he (Zayd) returned with his people. When he reached a place called al-Fardah, he died. His wife took hold of what the Prophet, may Allah bless him, had written in his favour and tore it. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, commissioned 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib to demolish al-Fuls the idol of the Tayy and to surround it. He set out with two hundred men of cavalry and attacked the members of Hatim's family. They captured Hatim's daughter and offered her to the Apostle of Allah among the slaves of Tayy. According to the narration of Hisham Ibn Muhammad: The person from the Prophet's cavalry, who had fallen suddenly on them and captured Hatim's daughter, was Khalid lbn al-Walid. Here it is linked up with the first narration. He (Ibn Sa'd) said: 'Adi Ibn Hatim escaped from the cavalry of the Prophet, may Allah bless him, and he reached Syria. He was a Christian and used to go with his people to al-Mirba'. Hatim's daughter was lodged in an enclosure near the door of mosque. She was beautiful and sweet-tongued. The Apostle of Allaah, may Allah bless him, passed (by her); she stood and said: The father has expired and the deputationist (brother) has disappeared, oblige me and Allah will be benevolent to you. He said: Who is your deputationist? She said:Adi Ibn Hatim. He said: He is running away from Allah and from
His Apostle. In the meantime a deputation of the Quda’ah arrived from
Syria. She continued: The Prophet clothed me, gave me money and
provided a beast for me. I set out with them and approached ‘Adi in
Syria. I said to him: You have severed uterine relationship, set out with
your wife and children leaving the remaining children of your father
behind. She lived there for several days and said to him: I feel you should
join the Apostle of Allah. Thereupon ‘Adi set out and came to the Apostle
of Allah, may Allah bless him, and greeted him. He was in the mosque,
and he said: Who is the man? He said: ‘Adi Ibn Hatim. He took him to
his home, and placed a cushion stuffed with palm fibres, and said to him:
Sit on it. The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, sat on the earth and
offered Islam to him. `Adi embraced Islam and the Apostle of Allah
appointed him the collector of sadaqat of his people.

Harithah lbn Thawb Ibn Ma’n al-Ta’i came to the Prophet, may Allah
bless him, and at that time he (‘Amr) was one hundred fifty years old. He
asked about hunting. Thereupon he said: Eat what yon see dying and
leave what has escaped. He is the person about whom Imra al-Qays Ibn
Hujr says as he was the best archer of the Arabs.
Many an archer of Bann Thu’al
Takes out his palms from his private parts.
