As-Salamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatul-lahi Wa Barakaatuhu

 

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ  

 

تَرَى كَثِيرًا مِنْهُمْ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَبِئْسَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لَهُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ أَنْ سَخِطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَفِي الْعَذَابِ هُمْ خَالِدُونَ ﴿5:80﴾ 

(5:80) And now you can see many of them taking the unbelievers (instead of the believers) for their allies. Indeed they have prepared evil for themselves. Allah is angry with them, and they shall abide in chastisement.

وَلَوْ كَانُوا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالنَّبِيِّ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَا اتَّخَذُوهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ وَلَكِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ ﴿5:81﴾ 

(5:81) For had they truly believed in Allah and the Messenger and what was sent down to him, they would not have taken unbelievers (instead of believers) for their allies. But many of them have rebelled against Allah altogether.

 

 

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 509: (Sahih Bhukhari)

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa:

We went out to Khaibar in the company of the Prophet. While we were proceeding

at night, a man from the group said to 'Amir, "O 'Amir! Won't you let us hear your

poetry?" 'Amir was a poet, so he got down and started reciting for the people poetry

that kept pace with the camels' footsteps, saying:- "O Allah! Without You we

Would not have been guided On the right path Neither would be have given In

charity, nor would We have prayed. So please forgive us, what we have committed

(i.e. our defects); let all of us be sacrificed for Your cause and send Sakina (i.e.

calmness) upon us to make our feet firm when we meet our enemy, and If they will

call us towards an unjust thing, we will refuse. The infidels have made a hue and

cry to ask others' help Against us." The Prophet on that, asked, "Who is that

(camel) driver (reciting poetry)?" The people said, "He is 'Amir bin Al-Akwa'."

Then the Prophet said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him." A man amongst the

people said, "O Allah's Prophet! has (martyrdom) been granted to him. Would that

you let us enjoy his company longer." Then we reached and besieged Khaibar till

we were afflicted with severe hunger. Then Allah helped the Muslims conquer it

(i.e. Khaibar). In the evening of the day of the conquest of the city, the Muslims

made huge fires. The Prophet said, "What are these fires? For cooking what, are

you making the fire?" The people replied, "(For cooking) meat." He asked, "What

kind of meat?" They (i.e. people) said, "The meat of donkeys." The Prophet said,

"Throw away the meat and break the pots!" Some man said, "O Allah's Apostle!

Shall we throw away the meat and wash the pots instead?" He said, "(Yes, you can

do) that too." So when the army files were arranged in rows (for the clash), 'Amir's

sword was short and he aimed at the leg of a Jew to strike it, but the sharp blade of

the sword returned to him and injured his own knee, and that caused him to die.

When they returned from the battle, Allah's Apostle saw me (in a sad mood). He

took my hand and said, "What is bothering you?" I replied, "Let my father and

mother be sacrificed for you! The people say that the deeds of 'Amir are lost." The

Prophet said, "Whoever says so, is mistaken, for 'Amir has got a double reward."

The Prophet raised two fingers and added, "He (i.e. Amir) was a persevering

struggler in the Cause of Allah and there are few 'Arabs who achieved the like of

(good deeds) 'Amir had done."
