4.4 Jibu la Watu wa Madinah
4.4 The Response Of The People Of Madinah
Mtume wa Allah ﷺ aliendelea kuzialika kabila kwa Allah (SWT) na kujitolea kwao kila mwaka - huko Majannah, ‘Ukaz na Mina - ili wamlinde ﷺ ili aweze kufikisha Ujumbe wa Mola wake, na kwa sababu hiyo watapata Jannah. Hakuna kabila hata moja la Waarabu lililomwitikia; alidhurika na kudharauliwa hadi Allah (SWT) alipotaka kuufanya Dini yake ishinde, kumsaidia Nabii wake ﷺ na kutekeleza ahadi yake. Hivyo, Yeye (SWT) alimwongoza ﷺ hadi kwenye kabila hili la Ansari. Alikutana na kundi moja miongoni mwao ambao walikuwa wananyoa vichwa vyao. Akaketi nao ﷺ, akawaalika kwa Allah (SWT), na kuwasomea Qur’ani. Wao wakamwitikia Allah (SWT) na Mtume Wake ﷺ, na hivyo wakaharakisha kukubali Imani, wakamwamini Nabii ﷺ. Kisha wakaenda Madinah na kuwaalika watu wao kwenye Uislamu; tangu hapo watu wakaanza kuukubali Uislamu.
The Rasool of Allah continued inviting the tribes to Allah and offering himself to them every year - in Majannah, ‘Ukaz and Mina, - to protect him in order to convey the Message of His Lord, and hence for them would be Jannah. Not a single tribe of the Arabs responded to him, he was harmed and vilified until Allah wished to make His deen victorious, support His Prophet and carry out His promise. Thus He led him to this tribe of the Ansar. He ended with a group of them who were shaving their heads. He sat with them, invited them to Allah and recited the Qur’an to them. They responded to Allah and His Messenger and thus rushed and professed Imaan, and believed in the Prophet . Then they went to Madinah and invited their people to Islam; henceforth people started to embrace Islam.
Katika msimu wa hija mwaka uliofuata, wanaume kumi na wawili kutoka kabila la Aws na Khazraj wa Madinah, ambao walikuwa wamesilimu, walikuja wakakutana naye ﷺ huko al-’Aqabah. Hiki kilikuwa kikao cha kwanza cha al-’Aqabah, ambapo walimpa ahadi ya utii ﷺ, iitwayo bay’atun nisaa (ahadi ya wanawake). Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alimtuma pamoja nao Mus’ab b. ‘Umayr kwa kutimiza ombi lao. Alimwamuru ﷺ amsomee Qur’ani, wawafundishe Uislamu na kuwapa ufahamu wa dini. Alijulikana kama al-Muqri’ (Msomaji) na alikaa kwa As’ad b. Zuraarah. Kisha ikatokea kwamba Usayd b. Hadayr na Sa’d b. Mu’adh walisilimu. Wote wawili walikuwa viongozi wa watu wao. Sa’d alipokubali Uislamu, aliwaambia watu wake: “Mnaonaje nafasi yangu miongoni mwenu?” Wakajibu: “Tunakuona kuwa bwana wetu na mwenye busara zaidi, na kiongozi aliye juu ya njia ya haki.” Akasema: “Wanaume wenu na wanawake wenu wamekatazwa kuzungumza nami mpaka mmuamini Allah na Mjumbe wake.” Kufikia jioni, hakubaki mwanaume wala mwanamke katika nyumba ya Abdul Ash-hal ambaye hakuwa amekuwa Muislamu.
In the pilgrimage season next year, twelve men from the Aws and Khazraj of Madinah who had embraced Islam came and met him in al-’Aqabah; this was the first meeting of al-’Aqabah, where they gave him the pledge of the women (bay’atun nisaa). The Messenger sent with them Mus’ab b. ‘Umayr in compliance with their request. He ordered him to recite the Qur’an to them, to teach them Islam and give them understanding of the deen. He was known as al-Muqri’ (The Reciter) and he resided with As’ad b. Zuraarah. Then it happened that Usayd b. Hadayr and Sa’d b. Mu’adh professed Imaan. They were both leaders of their people. When the latter embraced Islam he said to his people; “How do you see my position amongst you?” They replied; “We see you as our master and the best in opinion, and on the right path as a leader.” He said; “Your men and women are prohibited from speaking to me until you believe in Allah and His Messenger.” By the time of evening, not a single man or woman remained in the house of Abdul Ash-hal who had not become Muslim.
