ABDULLAH BIN WAHB AL-KALBI

previous episode

While Husayn was proceeding towards Koofa, several hundred people joined him at various places.

Some, because they knew who Husayn was, while others, just out of curiosity. It was this second group of people who were first to leave Husayn, when they saw that things were not, after all, that favourable for the grandson of the prophet of Islam.

However, all of these people were admittedly, Muslims. Among them was a young man named Wahab Ibn Abdullah Kalbi. Kalb was a very large tribe and many of them had stayed Christians, as the prophet had allowed after the event of Mubahala in the later part of the Madinan period.

Tajuk :
Tiga Perkara Kebaikan Dan Keburukan

Hadith :
Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda, maksudnya:“Tiga perkara yang menyelamatkan , iaitu takut pada Allah ketika bersendirian dan di khalayak ramai, berlaku adil pada ketika suka dan marah, berjimat cermat ketika susah dan senang, dan tiga perkara yang membinasakan iaitu mengikut hawa nafsu, terlampau bakhil dan kagum seseorang dengan dirinya sendiri.”

Riwayat Abu Syeikh

Huraian
Terdapat tiga perkara yang memberikan keselamatan kepada manusia iaitu :

• Sentiasa menjaga tingkahlaku kerana sesungguhnya Allah S.W.T Maha Melihat dan Mendengar apa jua yang dilakukan oleh hamba-Nya. Bahkan setiap amalan itulah yang akan menentukan sama ada seseorang manusia itu diberi kebahagiaan atau ditimpa celaka dalam hidupnya.
• Berlaku adil yang bermaksud meletakkan sesuatu pada tempatnya tanpa ada diskriminasi dan beremosi. Ini termasuk memberikan hak kepada yang berhak yang bukan terhad pada hubungan antara sesama makhluk sahaja malah dalam menjaga hubungan dengan Tuhan. Sifat adil akan menghidupkan suasana berkasih sayang dalam masyarakat.
• Berjimat cermat ketika susah dan senang kerana ini akan menyelamatkan seseorang itu daripada menyesal di kemudian hari.

Manakala Rasulullah berpesan pula bahawa terdapat tiga perkara lain yang akan membinasakan manusia iaitu:

• Mengikut telunjuk syaitan yang sentiasa mendorong kepada kehendak hawa nafsu yang mengakibatkan kebinasaan diri.
• Bersifat kedekut sehingga menyebabkan orang lain membenci dan menjauhinya.
• Kagum dengan diri sendiri iaitu ujub dengan kelebihan diri sehingga menjadikan seseorang itu bersikap angkuh dan sombong serta suka menghina orang lain menyebabkan dia akhirnya disisihkan daripada masyarakat.

Sesungguhnya setiap perkara yang dilarang itu ada hikmahnya begitu juga dengan perkara yang baik itu pasti ada kemuliaannya. Oleh itu kita hendaklah sentiasa berhati-hati agak tidak melakukan kesilapan hingga terjerumus ke lambah kebinasaan.

THE MORNING OF ASHOORA, THE DEFECTION OF HURR

previous episode

Safwan was very angry at this insult. He pulled his lance and attacked Hurr with full force. Hurr, was even faster. He ducked and thrusted his own lance at Safwan, which broke Safwan lance in pieces and pierced right through his chest. Hurr, lifted Safawn on his lance from his horse (readers! can you imagine the fighting fervor of Hurr?) and crashed him on the battlefield.
Safwan's bone's were broken and he died.

Safwan bin Hnazala's three brothers were with him at Karbala. When they saw their brother being killed, they rushed forward and attacked Hurr all together. Hurr fought with them valiantly and killed them all.

Hurr returned to Imam Husayn, received final blessings from him and went back to fight the last battle of his life.

Hurr, his son and the servant fell on the enemy troops, fought valiantly until both the son and he servant were killed. Hurr's own horse was killed in the action. Hurr was a large man. He fought furiously on foot, reciting verses at the same time to the effect that he was a gallant warrior and that he was fighting in Allah's way. An arrow struck him in the forehead and he fell. Husayn rushed to Hurr's side, said comforting words to him, took a handker-chief out of his pocket which at one time had belonged to his mother Fatima Zahra, tied it round Hurr's bleeding wound and Hurr died in Husayn's arms.

This report has been prepared from the texts of Allama Qazwini's Riadhul Quds, Mulla Wa'iz Kashifi's Raudhatus Shuhada, Majlisi's Bihar-ul Anwar andTabari. In addition to those books, Ibn Khaldoon has written with extensivedetails about Hurr's valiant battle at Karabala in his TAREEKH.
