Abu Hurayrah

From Alim ® Online

"An Abi Hurayrata, radiyallahu anhu, qal. Qala Rasul Allahi, sallallahu alayhi wa sailam ..." This phrase millions of Muslims in the early history of Islam to the present have come to familiarize themselves with the name Abu Hurayrah. "In his speeches and lectures, sermons and seminars on Friday in the books of Hadith and Sirah, fiqh and ibadah, N OM Abu Hurayrah is mentioned in this fashion:" On the authority of Abu Hurayra, may God be pleased with him who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said ... . With his prodigious efforts, hundreds of Hadith or sayings of the Prophet were transmitted to succeeding generations. His name is foremost in the role of transmitters of Hadith. Next to him comes the names of such companions as Abdullah, the son of Umar, Anas the son of Malik, Umm al-Aishah Mumininin, Jabir ibn Abdullah and Abu Said al-Khudri who all sent over a thousand of words Prophet.

Abu Hurayrah became a Muslim by Ibn Tufail in-chief Amr tribe of Daws to which he belonged. The Daws lived in the area Tihamah which stretches along the coast of the Red Sea in southern Arabia. When did Tufail returned to his village after meeting the Prophet and becoming a Muslim in the early years of his mission, Abu Hurayrah was one of the first to answer his call. It was unlike the majority of the Daws who remained stubborn in their old beliefs long. When did Tufail visited Makkah again, Abu Hurayrah accompanied him. There he had the honor and privilege of meeting the noble Prophet who asked him: "What is your name?" "Abdu Shams - Servant of the Sun," he said. "Instead, it is Abdur-Rahman - Servant of the Merciful God, the Prophet said." Yes, Abdur-Rahman (he is) O Messenger of God replied, it. However, he continued to be known as Abu Hurayrah, "the kitten man", literally "the father of a kitten" because like the Prophet, he loved cats since childhood and were often cat to play with.

Abu Hurayrah stayed in Tihamah for several years and it is only the beginning of the seventh year of the Hijrah that he arrived in Madinah with others of his tribe. The Prophet had gone on a campaign of Khaybar. Being destitute, Abu Hurayrah took place in the mosque with others of the Ahl as-Suffah. He was alone without wife or child. With him, though his mother was still a polytheist. He longed, and prayed for her to become Muslim but she adamantly refused. One day he invited him to have faith in God and follow His Prophet but she uttered some words about the Prophet which saddened him greatly. With tears in his eyes, he went to the noble Prophet who said: "What makes you cry, O Abu Hurayrah?" "I have not left my mother calling to Islam but she has always rebuffed. Today, I asked again and I heard the words of his that I do not. Do make supplication to God Almighty to the heart of Abu Hurayrah's mother incline to Islam. "The Prophet replied to the request from Abu Hurayrah and prayed for his mother. Abu Hurayrah said:" I went home and found the door closed. I heard the sound of running water and when I tried to enter my mother told me: "Stay where you are, O Abu Hurayrah. "And after putting his clothes, she says," Come in, "I went in and she said:" I bear witness that no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is.
