The Master of Memorizers: Abu Hurayrah




 He is the fair Buddy Abu Hurayrah may Allah be satisfied with him. Prior to embracing Islam, he was called 'Abd Jokes (slave of the sun). After he embraced Islam, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) called him 'Abdur-Rahman (slave of the Most-Kind) and provided him with the moniker of Abu Hurayrah (father of cat).

There is an entertaining purpose for this moniker. 'Abdur-Rahman may Allah be satisfied with him was renowned for being others conscious to creatures and he had a little cat that he was thoughtful to and he dealt with it. It used to go with him all over the place. Subsequently, he was called Abu Hurayrah. The Courier of Allah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) used to address him utilizing this epithet. It was described in a Hadeeth that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) told him: "Come here, O Abu Hurayrah!" [Al-Bukhari]


Abu Hurayrah may Allah be satisfied with him was brought into the world in the clan of Daws, a Bedouin clan. He returned to Islam in the time of overcoming Khaybar in 7 A.H. Subsequent to embracing Islam, he used to go with the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) and sit with him for extensive stretches of time gaining from him.


Abu Hurayrah may Allah be satisfied with him attempted ordinarily to welcome his mom to Islam, yet she rejected.

At some point, he welcomed her to Islam, however she declined and said awful words regarding the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ). Subsequently, Abu Hurayrah may Allah be satisfied with him went to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) sobbing and said, "O Courier of Allah, I called my mom to Islam however she turned down my call. I called her today yet she expressed things about you that I preferred not to hear. Ask Allah to Guide the mother of Abu Hurayrah." The Courier of Allah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) said, "O Allah! Guide the mother of Abu Hurayrah to the correct way." I left, feeling hopeful in light of the petition of the Courier of Allah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ).


At the point when I approached the entryway, it was shut from the inside. My mom heard my strides, and said, "O Abu Hurayrah! Pause! " I heard the sound of water. She scrubbed down and put on a dress and was too rushed to even consider putting on her head cover, then opened the entryway and said, "O Abu Hurayrah! I affirm that there is none deserving of love except for Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and Courier." Abu Hurayrah added, "I returned to the Courier of Allah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) crying bittersweet tears delight. I said, 'O Courier of Allah! Be cheerful, for Allah has addressed your request and directed the mother of Abu Hurayrah to the correct way.' The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) applauded Allah, and commended Him, and said great words.

I said, 'O Courier of Allah! Petition Allah for myself as well as my mom to be cherished by His trusting slaves and for us to adore them as well.' The Courier of Allah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) said, 'O Allah! Make this captive of Yours and his mom (for example Abu Hurayrah and his mom) adored by Your accepting slaves and make them love Your trusting slaves.' This request has been replied by Allah, the All-powerful, such a lot of that any devotee who caught wind of me cherished me." [Imam Muslim]


Abu Hurayrah may Allah be satisfied with him used to like battling in the Reason for Allah. He joined the fights, went to meetings of information and went with the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ). He was the most joined Ally to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ). Contrasted with different Associates, Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be satisfied with him, retained the largest number of described Ahadeeth (plural of Hadeeth - strict acts of Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice )) from the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ). One of the Mates said about him, "Abu Hurayrah portrayed a great deal of Ahadeeth and the Muhajiroon (the Sidekicks of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) moved from Makkah to Madeenah) and the Ansar (the inhabitants of Madeenah the people who upheld and became Partners of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice )) didn't describe like him." He used to answer to this idiom, "My siblings among the Ansar were occupied with cultivating their territories and my siblings among the Muhajiroon were occupied with exchanging. I used to serve the Courier of Allah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) as a trade-off for what might fill my stomach. In this way, I witness what is happening assuming they are missing and remember whether they neglect. The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) said, 'Whoever will spread his upper article of clothing until I finish my discourse and afterward crease it, (i.e., fold it around his body), he neglect fail to remember nothing he had heard from me.' Thus, I spread the piece of clothing which I was wearing, and by Him Who sent Muhammad with Reality (i.e., Allah), from that point onward, I have always remembered anything I heard from him (the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ))." [Imam Muslim]


He additionally said, "Had it not been for two uncovered sections in the Book of Allah, I couldn't have ever described anything." Allah, The All-powerful, Gets out (whatever means): {Indeed, the individuals who hide what We sent down of clear verifications and direction after We made it clear for individuals in the Sacred text - those are reviled by Allah and reviled by the people who revile. With the exception of the individuals who apologize and address themselves and make apparent [what they concealed]. Those - I will acknowledge their atonement, and I'm the Tolerant of contrition, the Merciful} [Quran 2:159-160]


Abu Hurayrah may Allah be satisfied with him had a brilliant memory and he had the option to rapidly retain and remembered. Debris Shafi'ee may Allah show kindness upon him said about him, "He is the individual who remembered a large portion of the Hadeeth in his time." Abu Hurayrah may Allah be satisfied with him said about himself, "Nobody knows the Ahadeeth of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) more than me with the exception of Abdullah Ibn 'Amr may Allah be satisfied with him for he used to think of them however I didn't."


He preferred information and his understudies used to visit him until there would be no space left in his home. He was profoundly regarded for his insight. At some point, he loosened up his legs and said, "We entered the home of the Courier of Allah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) until we filled the home while he was leaning back his ally. At the point when he saw us, he bowed his legs and said, 'After me, there will be individuals coming to you looking for information. Thus, welcome, welcome and show them.'" [Ibn Majah]


Abu Hurayrah may Allah be satisfied with him was incredibly poor and he used to attach a stone on his stomach because of outrageous craving; he said:

By Allah! I used to lay (snoozing) on the ground on my liver (mid-region) in light of craving, and (some of the time) I would tie a stone over my tummy due to hunger. At some point, I sat by the way where individuals used to walk. At the point when Abu Bakr may Allah be satisfied with him cruised by, I got some information about a stanza in the Honorable Quran and my main reason in asking him was that he could fulfill my craving, yet he passed by and didn't do as such. Then, at that point 'Umar may Allah be satisfied with him passed by and I got some information about a section in the Respectable Quran, and my main reason in asking him was that he could fulfill my yearning, yet he passed by without doing as such. At long last, Abul-Qasim (i.e., the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice )) passed by and knew from my face (that I was eager). He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) said, "O Abu Hurayrah!" I answered, "Indeed, O Courier of Allah!" He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) told me, "Follow me." He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) left and I followed him. Then he sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) went into the house and I requested that authorization enter and was conceded. He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) tracked down milk in a bowl and said, "From where is this milk?" They said, "It has been conceded to you by such-and-such man (or by such and such family)." He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) said, "O Abu Hirr!" I said, "OK, O Courier of Allah!" He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) said, "Proceed to call individuals of Suffah to me." individuals of Suffah were the visitors of Islam who had no families, nor cash, nor anyone to rely on, and at whatever point an object of good cause was brought to the Courier of Allah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) he sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) would send it to them and wouldn't take a single thing from it, and at whatever point any gift was given to him, he sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) used to send some for themselves and take some of it for himself. This made me miserable, as I expected to have a tad bit of this milk to have strength until the end of the day. At the point when individuals came I gave them a portion of this milk. I was thinking about what might survive from that milk for me, in any case,

I could comply with Allah and His Courier, so I went to individuals of Suffah and called them, and they came and requested the Prophet's sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) authorization to enter. They were conceded and sat down in the house. The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) said, "O Abu-Hirr!" I said, "OK, O Courier of Allah!" He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) said,"Take it and give it to them." So I took the bowl (of milk) and began giving it to each man who drank his fill and returned it to me until at long last the entire gathering had tanked their fill.


I then, at that point, set the bowl between the hands of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) and there was still milk remaining, so he sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) raised his head, saw me, grinned and said. "O Abu Hirr!" I answered, "Indeed, O Courier of Allah!" He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ) said, "(Just) you and I remain." I said, "You have said reality, O Courier of Allah." He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) expressed, "Plunk down and drink." I plunked down and drank. He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) said, "Drink," and I drank. He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) continued to tell me over and over to drink, until I said, "No. By Allah Who Sent you with reality, I have no space for it (in my stomach)." He sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) said, "Hand it over to me." When I gave him the bowl, he sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah commend his notice ) drank the excess milk. [Imam Al-Bukhari]


Allah, the All-powerful, respected Abu Hurayrah due to his confidence and genuineness to Allah and His Courier sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah lift up his notice ). He wedded the woman whom he used to work for before he acknowledged Islam. In such manner, he said, "I was raised as a vagrant, I relocated as an unfortunate man and I was an employed laborer for Busrah Bint Ghazwan as a trade-off for my food. I used to serve them when they set up camp and strolled holding the reins of their riding creatures assuming they moved. All commendation is because of Allah Who made religion a method for correcting and made Abu Hurayrah Imam."


During the caliphate of 'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab may Allah be satisfied with him Abu Hurayrah may Allah be satisfied with him was selected as a leader of Bahrain. He was likewise the bad habit leader of Al-Madeenah when Marwan Ibn Al-Hakam was the ruler. Nonetheless, he used to convey kindling and sell it on the lookout.


He used to prompt individuals charging them to accomplish something beneficial and restricting them from evil. Once, he was passing by the market, and he saw individuals engrossed with the common life. Thus, he remained on the lookout and yelled, "O individuals, the legacy of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah magnify his notice ) is being separated while you are here! For what reason do you not proceed to take your portions?" They asked him, "Where is that?" He replied, "In the Masjid." individuals raced to the Masjid and afterward returned. He asked them, "Why have you returned?" They said, "O Abu Hurayrah! We entered the Masjid and saw nothing that is being partitioned." He asked them, "What did you see?" They answered, "We saw certain individuals imploring, others presenting the Quran and others concentrating on what is legitimate and what is unlawful." Abu Hurayrah may Allah be satisfied with him said, "This is the legacy of Muhammad."


He didn't look for in the common life everything except the joy of Allah and the affection for His Muslim slaves until his passing. At the point when he was passing on, he cried of yearning for his Master. At the point when he was gotten some information about the justification behind his tears, he expressed, "in view of the little arrangement and the long excursion." He additionally said, "O Allah, I like gathering You, thus, such as meeting me!" He passed on in 59 A.H. furthermore, it was said in 57 A.H. also, his age was 78 years. He was covered at Al-Baqee'a (the cemetery in Madeenah close by the Masjid Al-Haram) in the wake of spreading information all through the land and describing in excess of 5000 Ahadeeth!
