Abu Hurairah (Ahmad Azhari Yunus)

A Father of Tiny Cat

A long time ago there was Rasulullah SAW Sahabah (Best Friend) named Abu Hurairah (Father of tiny Cat) it was a nickname from his name, his real name was Abdurahman bin Shakhr Al-Azdi, he was born on Bani Daus from Yaman and he was orphan from he was born. He gets his nickname because when he was young he works as maid to rich family Basrah bin Ghazawan, he was only paid for his food each day. But, lucky for him, his master proposed Abu Hurairah to married with his master daughter. On that time most people call him Father of Tiny cat because he loves cat very much and take care it. One day someone quested him about the cause of why he called used that nickname. “Why you called by Abu Hurairah?” “What are you worrying from me?” he answered. “ Oh.. in the name of Allah, I really worry with you Abu” “Several years ago I was worked on my family to keep the goat and beside me there a tiny cat (Hurariah). So, when the night is coming I put that on the tree branch, when the noon is coming, I going to that tree and play with the tiny

cat— because of this activity many people call me kuniyah Abu Hurairah (The Father of Tiny Cat). “he answered From that day he became famous not only by his nickname but his intelligent too. His dedication to collect more than 5000 hadith its a record and with his collected hadith many hadith experts make a collection book of hadith like Imam Bukhari. ___

An Incredible Memory

Long time ago in the Arab there live a very famous hadith collector named Abu Hurairah he was a Rasulullah sahabah. Since young age he was famous with his intelligent for memorize something, but he can’t write same as Rasulullah SAW. He converted into Moslem after received his clan master. He followed his clan to migrated (Hijrah) to Medina and joined Muhajirin society in there. He became the most hadith receiver from Rasullulah SAW more than 5000 hadith. The reason of why can do that is because his intelligent and the intensity to stay and came to Rasulullah SAW majlis in four years. Someday, someone come to him to examine his memory. “Abu Hurairah com here” “I want test your memory, please tell me a few hadith and my assistant will noted it” “Okay..” Abu said. After he said a few hadith and be noted by the assistant a year later, the examiner calls him to

tell the hadith’s that noted a year before. Astonishingly, he can explain all that hadith without mistakes. Because his collection and spread all hadith, he going to be doubted by other sahabah and thabi’in and deny him. But, it answered all people wonders with his direct explanation. “... all of you said that Abu Hurairah too much published hadith of Rasulullah SAW and all of you said that the Muhajirin society is the first converted to Moslem and no body from them that memorize the hadiths. You must know, our best friends of Muhajirin society was busy with their trading on the market and our best friend of Anshar society was busy with their farmland. But, I was poor, because of that I always stayed and attended the majlis of Rasulullah Saw— because of that reason I attended when the other not attended and I always remembered if they forgot because their business. Rasulullah SAW someday said to us, “person who spread his scarf until the end of my speech, and then take it to himself, so there nothing will be forgotten for anything that you heard from me”. After Rasulullah said that, I do it, and in the name of Allah SWT nothing its forgot from anything that I’ve heard” He answered to the people who asked him. That’s why Abu Hurairah always spread anything he knows to all people such as hadith, because of he knew that all knowledge must being spread not only stop for himself— if he consumed his knowledge to himself him will promised by laknat from Allah SWT. Finally, Abu Hurairah is an inspiring person to all people, because his faith, his dedication and his way of life in teaching. Source : Book of Ustadz Yiyin Isgandi

In another war named Tabuk war, Rasulullah rejected Ali to join in that war. Rasulullah commanded him to be a Rasulullah’s vice in Madinah and stay with women, children, and parents who did not join the war. Ali was uncomfortable about this.

That was the first collected time for Qur’an. In medina, Zaid Bin Tsabit became leader for part of fatwa, qira’ah and faraidh. Zaid bin Tsabit is one of the cleverest sahabah in Muhammad era. Tsabit bin Ubaid said, “I never see a man more humorist in his house, and I never see a man who became the most respected mas in his majelis accepted Zaid bin Tsabit” Ibnu Abbas said, “all of people in Muhammad era say, if Zaid bin Tsabit is a man who have a deep knowledge” In Ustman bin Affan era, there was many ways to read Qur’an.

After spreader the Qur’an to seven countries, the Quran now called Qur’an rasm ustmani. That’s which read by all the muslim around the world. Zaid bin Tsabit also had a important place when all of muslim choose the khalifah, the leader of the muslim at that time. When Muhajirin people debate with anshar people about the next leader of muslim, Zaid bin Tsabit came And he said “attention! Rasullullah was a Muhajirin people, from that fact we know that the next leader was from Muhajirin people too. As we know, ashar was a helper for Rasullullah, so we were helper for muhajirin people” After he said like that, all muhajirin and anshar was selected and he decided Abu Bakar as-siddiq become the next leader of muslim people.

Well Medina was hit by drought. Everyone had no water anywhere but there was a well in Medina and it was the only one. The well belonged to a Jew. People could take the water, but they had to pay to him. Because of that, Rasul Allah PBUH was pity of people and said, “Anyone among you who wants to buy the well and gives it to people as a charity will get His jannah.” By hearing this, Uthman wanted to buy the well and give it to the people, so he went to the Jews and made a deal with him. However, the Jews didn’t want to sell the well even though Uthman gave him lots of money.” O Uthman, how will I get more money if I sell the well. It’s the only thing I had to produce money.” Then, Uthman thought how to get the well. Several times thinking, he finally got an idea.” What if I buy a half of your well ?”, said Uthman. The Jews was really confused. ” What do you mean?”, he asked. Uthman replied,” We use the well alternately. A day for me, the next day for you and so on.” The Jews smiled and thought he would get more money. He agreed with Uthman, so Uthman gave a half price.

After that, Uthman told the people they could take the water freely for today, but not for tomorrow. They would get it freely again in the day after tomorrow. So, the people took the water for two days needs immediately. A day later, when the well belonged to the Jews again, there was no one taking the water. The Jews was disappointed, so he went to Uthman to sell another half. Uthman agreed and finally, it perfectly belonged to him. After that, he gave the whole well to the people as a charity.

His Death One day, Uthman fasted after he dreamt last night. In the dream, he saw Rasul Allah PBUH, Abu Bakr and Omar Ibn Khattab. He (PBUH) said,”O Uthman, have an ifthar (breaking fast) with us!” In that morning, he was home with another Rasul Allah’s sahabah such as Hasan Ibn Ali, Abdullah Ibn Omar, etc. They wanted to protect him from the rebels. However, he asked them all to leave him because he didn’t want them to be killed by the rebels. So, they left Uthman home with his family. He sat down reciting Quran then. He let the door open by hoping the rebels wouldn’t hurt him because he was reciting Quran. Suddenly, someone came into the house to kill him. The person pulled Uthman’s beard, so Uthman said to him,” Don’t touch my beard! Your father surely honored

this beard.” Then, the person stops pulled the beard and went out when he saw Quran beside Uthman. Unfortunately, another person from Bani Sadus came over. Uthman tied his drawstring tightly because he didn’t want someone to see his aura. The man garroted Uthman and tried jab him with a sword. However, Uthman parried it with his hand. His hand was cut down. “By Allah, this was the hand that wrote down wahyu for the first time.” His wife; Naila Binti Furafisha came to protect him, but her fingers were cut down too. Then, the rebels jabbed the sword into Uthman six times until he was dead. His dream came true. He would have an ifthar with Rasul Allah PBUH, Abu Bakr and Omar Ibn Khattab.

Julaibib RA (NMF Amin Mubarok)

A Dramatic Ending of a Bad boy

He is one of Sahabah who has unique story. This companion does not belong to the noble people of the Ansar. The stature is also not good. These friends belong to the category of the poor, possessing no property. However, he was very beloved by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam because of the piety that he had on him. One day the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam wanted to marry him with one of the daughters of Anshar sahabah. So, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam came to the house of this friend Anshar and said: "Put your daughter with me". Hearing the words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, the companion had no thought of accepting the Prophet's offer. A very valuable opportunity, and a pride priceless when it comes to the relationship of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. However, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam explained, that this proposal is not for himself. "Then what's the matter for whom, O Messenger of Allah?" He said with a question mark. He sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam replied: "For Julaibib Radhiyallahu anhu".

Narrative Texts Compilation of ISLAMIC sTORIES 32

With the confusion the companion replied: "Well, Messenger of Allah! But I have to talk first with my wife ". After meeting his wife, he told the Prophet's proposal. He said: "O my wife. Surely the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam begged your daughter, "and his wife immediately replied:" Yes, I strongly agree ". "But the Prophet did not wish for him," explained the husband. "Then to whom the proposal," asked his wife in surprise. "The Prophet shouted it to Julaibib Radhiyallahu anhu," he said. His wife replied: "To Julaibib Radhiyallahu anhu? No! I disagree. Do not marry him! " They are reluctant to have a son-in-law like Julaibib Radhiyallahu anhu who has nothing. Thus, the condition of some parents who sometimes prefer one's world rather than his religion. Unexpectedly, when his father was about to leave to dismiss the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, there was a voice in the room: "Who has led me, my dad? Did you reject the command of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam? And it is not fitting for a believer and a believer, if Allah and His Messenger have decreed a decree, there shall be a choice for them concerning their affair.

Umar bin Khattab was a strong and thoughtful man. He was a bad guy (in Islam we call it as kafirun). He had a tall body and big instead. His character was wise and very frightened by the enemy of Allah. The enemy of Allah was afraid of him not only in the form of human but also the inhuman creatures such as Satan and other something demonic. Historically narrated by Muhammad bin Sa’ad bin Abi Waqqash ra from his father that he said “Umar bin Khattab begged in order to be allowed entering the house of Rasulullah SAW. At that time there were several women from Quraisy were talking with Rasulullah and they talked loudly

After being allowed to enter the house of Rasulullah, then Rasulullah laughed. Umar questioned “What makes you laugh Rasulullah?”, then Rasulullah answered “ I wonder about these women who stand right next to me. When they hear your voice, they just directly put off their hijab.” Then Umar repeated “The truth is, you are exactly the one supposedly to be respected with, Rasulullah. Then Umar said things to the women “Dear honorable women who become the enemy of yourself, how come you put respect on me and not being respectful to Rasulullah?”. The women answered “Ya, because you are more thoughtful and much harder than Rasulullah.” The Rasulullah said “Dear Ibnul al- Khaththab, for the sake of Allah whom my soul grabbed deep inside his hand, Satan will not enter to see you walking in the road unless they look for the other way to come in.” This riwayat quite ensuring us that this individual was such a great person and it was proven by this Riwayat.

They didn’t even talk to each other avoiding fitnah. Finally, they arrived in a place when Rasul Allah took a rest for the next time. Munafik people started to spread out fitnah to all people. When they arrived in Medina, Aisha was ill. She didn’t feel the pity of Rasul Allah at that time. She asked her mum what was wrong with him. Her mum said that people in Abdullah Ibn Ubay command are spreading out a fitnah about her and Safwan. She was really sad. One day, Rasul Allah PBUH came to her and said, “If you really did it, then you have to do taubah to Allah.” Aisha replied, “Allah is the only one who knows that I’m innocent.” Several days later, Rasul Allah came to bring good news. He said, “Congratulations! You are free from the fitnah now. Allah has cleaned up your name.” Yeah, Allah has sent verses about her innocence. They are in Quran Surah of An-Nur Verse number 11 until 20.

Asma, along with her brother Abdullah and sister Aisha were the only people who knew the where about of the Prophet. After they had taken off for Madinah from the cave, Abu Jahl grew frustrated at the fact that Mohammad had escaped. He furiously went to Abu Bakr’s house and when he banged on the door, it was Asma who opened it. He asked where her father was, and since they were somewhere on the way to Madinah, she replied confidently that she didn’t know. He then slapped her so hard, he tore the earnings from her ears. He asked her again, and Asma, completely unfazed, again replied, “I do not know so go ahead, hit me as hard as you want.” Abu Jahl walked away in a fury. Asma later ended up migrating to Madinah with daughters. She ﷺ a group that included the Prophet’s had her son, Abdullah, in Madinah and he was the first boy to be born there from the migraters. Asma was one of the most brilliant female students of the Prophet. She is the source of 58 Hadith, and many men related Hadith from her. Asma is a great role model because she was such a successful woman. She was not only successful as a wife and mother, but she also used to work with her husband, tending to his horse and picking and grinding grains from his field. Asma was successful in many different areas. She was also very active in the

community and never let any food in her house stay overnight without donating it. Asma was extremely pious and used to pray with full concentration. Her husband Zubair, said that he came home one day and found her praying and weeping and repeating this verse from the Quran: “Allah has blessed us and saved us the torture of the burning winds.” {52:27} He left to the market and came back much later to find her still praying and crying and repeating the same verse. One day her mother came to visit her in Madinah. Her mother had not become a Muslim so Asma rushed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW and asked him if she could still embrace her mother in her life. The Prophet repeated three times that she should. So Asma welcomed her mother completely in her life and took care of her. Asma raised her son, Abdullah ibn Zubair, in a household that taught him to be a good Muslim and a courageous and understanding person. He would later be involved in a huge battle against Hajjaj Ibn Yousuf. Before her son went to battle, he told his mother that he was worried that they would cut up his body if he were to lose. She said to him not to worry about something like that, as just as the skinning of the sheep will not hurt him after he is dead, so he should not worry

about what happens to his body after he passes. What he should be more concerned about is that he is doing the right thing and he dies an honorable death. What can we learn from the story? We believe that Allah will always give us helps if necessary. Allah will always be right next to our side as long as we step on the right path and track. And also from the figure of Asma’ we can take the benefit from the story of him such as the bravery and patience. We as the next generation of Islam should be braver that this incredible woman and stand behind Islam and fight for everyone who against it.

The land of Animal was really enriching and full of wealth either rainforest that could contribute to the earth, so did the land of human. They were divided separately and fairly. Human’s life also lived happily and put nothing to bother with the animals. They produced plants and other beneficial domino thing either themselves or the animals. The animal army never bothered the lives of human and because they were just feeling enough for what they had already got. One day, the army of human suddenly colonized the land of animal with no reason at all. Because the human was really greedy and still felt not enough on what they already got. They brutally got the land of animal and took everything from the land. After that,

the side of animal could not just stand with nothing to do. Even the king of the jungle, Lion had no choice at all. He said “Well, I am afraid to face them because they have enough power and we have nothing to do with that”. Because they had no enough power to fight against the human. But one animal called horse was really brave and fearless to fight against the human because they believe that as long as we fight against unfair coming from the human because Allah SWT will always be with us. The horse said, “As long as we have Allah SWT and unite each other we can win the war and be stronger than ever before”. In the statement, the entire animals felt sure on themselves and been ready for the war forward. The horses known as the one who could have ability to fight because the horses had the burning feet if they step on the stone and any other ability they got were quite strong to fight against the war with the human army. Directly the army of animal led by the horses currently bravely and got the new spirit to maintain their land from the greediness of human. Human intentionally wanted to invade the land because they didn’t feel enough for the land. It is also proven in Surah Al Adiyat:

Narrative Texts Compilation of ISLAMIC sTORIES 185

َوا ْلعَا ِديَا ِت َض ْب ًحا O َفا ْل ُمو ِريَا ِت َق ْد ًحا O َفا ْل ُم ِغي َرا ِت ُصبْ ًحا O َفأَثَ ْر َن بِ ِه نَ ْقعًا O َف َو َس ْط َن بِ ِه َج ْمعًا O We can see the translation saying that:

1. By those, that run snorting. 2. Then bring out spark of fire from stones by striking their hoops. 3. Then devastate at morning. 4. Then at time, they raise clouds of dust. 5. Then penetrate into the center of the forces of enemy.

By the fearless the army of animals fought for the army of human and invaded them all. The horses as the leader believed that as long as you fought for the justice and stood against the greediness of human, insyaallah we would have won the war. The spirit of the animal’s army was really huge, so they could invade the human army back. Besides, Allah also stated that the human is in unthankful, this is stated in ayat number 6 by the translation “Undoubtedly, man is greatly unthankful to his Lord”. By this we also can conclude that the invasion that had been done by the human was because of the greediness of them and they didn’t feel enough of what they got. By the time was running, the animal’s army led by the horses was attacking the human’s army and
