POPULARITY
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S38) Ali's رضي الله عنه election to the high post: Madinah was leaderless. Chaos was spread. The time came for Imam Ali رضي الله عنه to become the Khalif. al-Ghaafiqee Ibn Harb, one of the rebel leaders, led Madinah for 5 days upon the martyrdom of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. The rebels searched for a new leader, so they could get the blame off themselves for the crimes they had committed. The Companions رضي الله عنهم approach Ali رضي الله عنه and say you are the most worthy of Khilafat amongst us. Ali رضي الله عنه called for the allegiance to be done in the blessed Masjid. Ali رضي الله عنه later would say the only reason he became Khalif was out of fear that Islam would diminish.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S39) The difficulties in avenging Uthmaan رضي الله عنه: No one could have been singled out as the murderer of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, as many people were involved. There was also not enough witnesses so Ali رضي الله عنه could not make plans to go forward. Talha asked Ali for leadership in Basra, Zubayr asked Ali (رضي الله عنهم) for leadership in Kufa, so they could immediately get vengeance for Uthmaan رضي الله عنه and destroy the Khawarij. Ali رضي الله عنه said he needed time to think about this. Putting it simply; this difference in opinion between how the vengeance of Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه murder should be handled is what caused the civil war to break out between the noble Companions رضي الله عنهم. Today we still discuss this, and these souls are in Firdaus. Our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها very wisely decides to stay in Makkah upon hearing that Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was murdered and that rebels were loose in Madinah…
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S40) Talha, Zubayr, Abdullah Ibn Zubayr and Abdullah Ibn Amir, the governor of Makkah, رضي الله عنهم all joined our the force of our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها. By being on Aisha's رضي الله عنها side, Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم did not break their pledge to Ali رضي الله عنه, for ultimately all parties' goal was the same - avenge Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. It was just executed differently. The force was around 3,000. They headed for Basra, as it was neutral land and most of the rebels were in Madinah. The reasoning was as follows; 1) To avenge Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, and get his killers. 2) To show the true colours of the rebels and expose their mischief. 3) To bring peace between the Muslims. 4) to enjoin good and forbid evil. Aisha's رضي الله عنها leading was symbolic: She being our mother رضي الله عنها was a symbol of peace. When the people see her coming they will stand down and realise the matter is serious and needs to be handled.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S41) All of our mothers رضي الله عنهم agreed with Aisha رضي الله عنها that Uthmaan رضي الله عنه needed to be avenged. Her followers were righteous people, Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم said the followers were the best of people. Our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها was the most qualified of the Messenger's ﷺ wives to lead here. The only difference in opinion between our mothers رضي الله عنهم was whether they should go to Madinah or Basra. Although this was a sad time in our history, it boosts our Iman. How? For many words of the Messenger ﷺ were, as always, proven to be true.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S42) The force reaches al-Hubayrah, an area just outside Basra. Messengers were sent calling for the nobles and leaders from the city to help identify the killers of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. The governor of Basra was Uthmaan Ibn Hunayf رضي الله عنه, he was appointed by Ali رضي الله عنه. Our mother Aisha (a.s) elucidates the situation to Uthmaan Ibn Hunayf رضي الله عنه. She رضي الله عنها also sends a letter to Abu Musa al-Ashari رضي الله عنه, who was the governor of Kufa appointed by Ali (a.s). Some people ignorantly claim that nothing good came out of the force that our mother رضي الله عنها gathered. This is false. One of the fruits was such; the killing of Hukaym Ibn Jabala, one of the rebel leaders. All but one of the rebels were wiped out. Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم called out: “We are only here for Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه murderers. If you were not involved then stay away”. Such was the nobility of the Companions رضي الله عنهم. The Messenger ﷺ: “The best of mankind are those who kill them [i.e the Khawarij] or are killed by them [i.e the Khawarij]”.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S36) Ali's son, Muhammad Ibn al-Hanafiyah رضي الله عنهم said his father never spoke ill of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. Ali رضي الله عنه: “Whoever speaks ill of Uthmaan رضي الله عنه is like the one who tries to stab someone that is behind him, by stabbing though his own stomach!”. Talha رضي الله عنه was of the last to pledge to Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. Uthmaan رضي الله عنه said: “Should you want, I will step down”. Talha رضي الله عنه said no, you will lead and gave Uthmaan رضي الله عنه the pledge. The love between Uthmaan, Ali and Talha رضي الله عنهم was such.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S37) Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه Khilafat lasted 12 years. The first 6 were peaceful, the last 6 was when the fitnah began. The mischief mongers were spreading their propaganda, wanting to destroy Islam from within. The rebels were lead by the following; Abdul Rahman Ibn Udays, Malik al-Ashtar and Hukaym Ibn Jabla. When Talha رضي الله عنه heard of Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه martyrdom he made dua for him, and said may the killers perish! He then recited Surah [36:49]. Talha رضي الله عنه said: “Certainly, Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was innocent”. Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه funeral was so packed, if you threw a stone it would certainly land on someone's head (I.e no space was left free). Talha رضي الله عنه was ~63 when Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was martyred. Uthmaan رضي الله عنه was ~84.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S35) With Umar's رضي الله عنه passing, Talha رضي الله عنه was around 51 years old. Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنه said let us boil it down to three of us. Zubayr رضي الله عنه stepped down and nominated Ali رضي الله عنه. Talha رضي الله عنه stepped down and nominated Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waqaas رضي الله عنه stepped down and nominated Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنه. The council was long, the decision was difficult. It took Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنه three days to decide his decision. Abdul Rahman couldn't sleep and tells his nephew Miswar Ibn Mahrama رضي الله عنهم to summon Zubayr and Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waqaas رضي الله عنهم. They discuss for a portion of the night. He then called for Ali, discussed for half the night and then called Uthmaan رضي الله عنهم and discussed till Fajr. The 3 days were up… Everyone gathers in Masjid Nabi ﷺ. The blessed 6 رضي الله عنهم gather near The Messenger's ﷺ pulpit and the senior Companions رضي الله عنهم were at the front. The people were in agreement and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf رضي الله عنه says to Ali رضي الله عنه that Uthmaan رضي الله عنه shall be the successor.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه (S28) The Messenger ﷺ: “The best of mankind is the one whose age is long and deeds are bountiful. The worst of mankind is the one whose age is long and his deeds are corrupt”. The third Kalimah, the everlasting deeds… Why was Talha رضي الله عنه the one to have these dreams? Beautifully put; he craved martyrdom at Uhud, but lived on ~35 years afterwards! In those years, the works he did were unfathomable! Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى was giving him something greater than martyrdom, a long life full of piety. اَللَّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ. Why are we surprised regarding the works of this man, for The Messenger ﷺ said: “Abu Bakr will be in Paradise. Umar will be in Paradise. Uthmaan will be in Paradise. Ali will be in Paradise. Talha will be in Paradise. Zubayr will be in Paradise. Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf will be in Paradise. Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waqaas will be in Paradise. Sa'eed Ibn Zayd will be in Paradise. Abu Ubaydah Ibn al-Jarrah will be in Paradise”. (رضي الله عنهم)
Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S47) During the reign of the 2 Shaykhs رضي الله عنهم: Whenever Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه needed men of knowledge for a meeting, he'd gather Umar, Uthmaan, Ali, Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf, Muazh Ibn Jabal, Ubayy Ibn Ka'ab & Zayd Ibn Thaabit رضي الله عنهم. (Muazh رضي الله عنه even gave fatwa during the lifetime of The Messenger ﷺ). Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه dismisses Khalid Ibn Sa'eed رضي الله عنه and puts in his place Shurahbeel Ibn Hasana رضي الله عنه. Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه informs Shurahbeel رضي الله عنه to consult with 3 excellent men who will yield excellent results; Abu Ubaydah, Muazh Ibn Jabal and Khalid Ibn Sa'eed رضي الله عنهم. Muazh رضي الله عنه seeks permission to participate in Jihad in Shaam. Umar رضي الله عنه doesn't want Muazh رضي الله عنه to go for Jihad, as he was such an ocean of knowledge that the people needed him…
Muazh Ibn Jabal (رضي الله عنه) (S18) The Sunnah of making up missed rakats was introduced by Muazh رضي الله عنه, and The Messenger ﷺ ordered us to follow suit. Now, billions follow - imagine the honour for Muazh! رضي الله عنه The Messenger ﷺ: “The most compassionate of my Ummah, to my Ummah is Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه. The strictest in religious rulings is Umar رضي الله عنه. The truest in Haya is Uthmaan رضي الله عنه. The best reciter of the Qur'an is Ubay Ibn Ka'ab رضي الله عنه. The most learned in inheritance laws is Zayd Ibn Thaabit رضي الله عنه. The most learned in matters of Halal and Haram is Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه. Every Ummah has a trustworthy one, this Ummah has Abu Ubaydah رضي الله عنه”. Umar, Ali and Muazh رضي الله عنهم all share the same opinion with regards to a Hadith - such is an honour to be amongst these two great souls.
al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه (S58) Sa'eed Ibn al-Aas رضي الله عنه once asked for some water, and someone from a dwelling brought it. The person was in debt and was going to sell his house. Sa'eed رضي الله عنه intervened and cleared the man's debt of 4,000 Dirhams! Such was his generosity! When Umar رضي الله عنه was martyred, Sa'eed رضي الله عنه proposed to Umm Kulthoom bint Ali رضي الله عنهم, and gifted her 100,000 Dirhams. Umm Kulthoom and Imam Hassan رضي الله عنهم were happy with this, but Imam Hussain رضي الله عنه didn't want to go through with it. So Sa'eed رضي الله عنه said: “I will never enter anything that Imam Hussain رضي الله عنه dislikes”. Sa'eed رضي الله عنه was the one who lead Imam Hassan's رضي الله عنه janazah! Sa'eed رضي الله عنه was of those who personally defended Ameer ul Mumineen Uthmaan رضي الله عنه when he was besieged - however Sa'eed didn't receive permission to draw his sword.
al-Mugheera ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه (S57) When Sa'eed Ibn al-Aas رضي الله عنه was previously governor of Kufa, he conquered Tabristan, Jarjaan and settled the uprising in Azerbaijan. He was known for his incredible strength and bravery. Just as one searches for the new moon in Ramadan, people would search for Sa'eed on the battlefield to witness his show. He رضي الله عنه was extremely generous. A man had 4 blood moneys that needed paying, 4 people were suggested; Hasan Ibn Ali, Abdullah Ibn Jafar, Sa'eed Ibn al-Aas and Ubaydallah Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنهم. A man once wept when Sa'eed رضي الله عنه helped him. The man said: “Where will I find a man like you on Earth after your passing?”. Sa'eed رضي الله عنه would put himself in debt just to aid others. Our Messenger ﷺ said whoever is in a [lawful] debt, then Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى is with you. Indeed, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى was with Sa'eed. Sa'eed was just like his first cousin, Uthmaan رضي الله عنهم. He gave without being asked, he never said no. This was the man who Mugheera رضي الله عنه didn't want to lead over the Kufans - imagine how they would treat this noble soul.
Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه Session 52 The 5 Signs of the dreaded fitnah... The departing of Abbas (ra) Mugeerah advises Uthmaan (raa), but the latter is well aware of the inevitable.
Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu'ba رضي الله عنه (S20)
Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S16) During the fitnah in Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه khilafat, our mothers (رضي الله عنهم) went to perform Hajj to leave the chaos. Our mother Umm Habeeba رضي الله عنها being from the same tribe as Uthmaan رضي الله عنه, wanted to help him. She went on her mule to supply some water, however she was stopped by the rebels - they struck her mule and it bolted. Our mother رضي الله عنها was almost killed. These rebels had the audacity to attack their mother… Aisha رضي الله عنها left Madinah to help ease the situation - she called for her brother, Muhammad رضي الله عنه to come with her, but he refused. Aisha رضي الله عنها said: “If the entire Earth was filled with these rebels, Uthmaan's رضي الله عنه finger would be greater!”. Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم met with our mothers (رضي الله عنهم) at Makkah - plans were taking place for the vengeance of Uthmaan's assassination. Hafsah رضي الله عنها wanted to go to Busra, however her brother, Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهم intervened and she did not proceed.
Hafsah bint Umar رضي الله عنهم (S17) Hukaym Ibn Jabalah - one of the chiefs of the khawarij. He initiated a fight against our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها. Our mother instructed her forces not to fight, and to only defend themselves. Aisha رضي الله عنها had rallied an army - it was fit for her to lead as she was the most knowledgeable of the Messenger's ﷺ wives. These rebels tried assassinating Aisha (رضي الله عنها) - they were caught outside her door and executed. Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم made the dua: “O Allah (swt), destroy those who killed Uthmaan (رضي الله عنه)”. A battle took place between our mother Aisha's رضي الله عنها forces and the rebels who rallied an army. They were all wiped out, except one. This silences those who claim nothing good came out of Aisha's رضي الله عنها stance. Shortly after this battle, the battle of the camel took place. Shayateens on both sides instigated it - ultimately Talha and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم were martyred. Aisha رضي الله عنها thought due to her status and rights over the believers, that her stance would not end in violence. Aisha رضي الله عنها later grieved over this endeavour. Both sides of this story were in the right - the companions (رضي الله عنهم) were all right in their respective positions. When Ameer Muaviya (رضي الله عنه) became the next caliph, our mother Hafsah رضي الله عنها was ~58 years old.
Hafsah bint Umar (رضي الله عنهم) (S2) Umar رضي الله عنه first went to Uthmaan رضي الله عنه to ask if he wanted to marry Hafsah رضي الله عنها, however he stated he was not ready. Umar رضي الله عنه went to tell the messenger ﷺ of this, to which he ,ﷺ, said: “Hafsah will marry a man better than Uthmaan. Uthmaan will marry a woman better than Hafsah”. (رضي الله عنهم). The blessed marriage took place in 3 A.H, in the month of shabaan. The first time our messenger ﷺ called Umar رضي الله عنه ‘Abu Hafsa' رضي الله عنها was at the battle of Badr!
Haarithah ibn Nu'umaan ibn Nafee Al Nasari (ra) The Messenger ﷺ said, I have grown shy from Haarithah (ra) because of the dwellings he gave up for us (Ibn Sa'd Tabaqat). "The 2 men who were the kindest to their mothers are Uthmaan ibn Afaan (ra) and Haaritha ibn Nu'u'maan (ra). As for Uthmaan (ra), he has not been able to look at his mother since the day he embraced Islaam. Whilst as for Haaritha ibn Nu'u'maan (ra), he would delouse his mother's hair and fed her with his hand. Jibreel (as) speaks of Haaritha (ra), He is from the 80 men who persevered on the Day of Hunayn, their provision and that of their children is in paradise (Ahmed, Musnad).
Hadrat Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al Aas (ra) Session 35 The Day of The House The Civil Wars "Uthmaan ibn Affaan Zhul Noorayn (ra) was killed unlawfully and he will thus be given a double reward' (Tabarani).
Hadrat Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al Aas (ra) Session 18 The Messenger ﷺ advises 3 Companions (Alee, Abdullah ibn Amr & Uthmaan ibn Mazhoon raa) who asked about how much they should worship... I ﷺ fast and I also take Iftaar I ﷺ offer Salah and I also sleep I ﷺ also marry He who turns away from my Sunnah is not of me ﷺ (Bukhari).

Amr (ra)... 5 Years older than Abu Bakr (ra) 16 years older than Umar (ra) 9 years older than Uthmaan (ra) 33 years older than Alee (ra) No one reaches 40 in Islam except that Allah SWT protects him from madness, leprosy & leucoderma At 50, the reckoning is made easy.

Amr ibn Al-Aas (ra), Session 79 The Fox of The Arabs Siffeen Only a Few of The Companions got Involved in The Fitnah. Some of the men who had been present at Badr stayed in their dwellings after the murder of Uthmaan (ra) and never left until they went to their graves (Al Bidaya). The ones present during The Battle of The Camel were Alee, Ammmar, Talha & Zubayr... (Ibn Abee Shaibah). A dream, a bucket of water & the Caliphate Rashideen drink water...

Anas ibn Maalik (ra) - Session 47 The Era of The 2 Shaykhs Abu Bakr & Umar (ra) rebuke themselves. ... 'You will be gathered with the ones you Love...' Anas (ra) this was the most comforting narration after faith. 4 signs of Love, Emulation, Mention often that which you love, love what they love, you learn about those whom you love. Allah SWT has merged the love of Uthmaan & Alee (ra) in our hearts (since the 2 Shaykhs have departed the world) Anas (ra). The love of The 4 Calpihate Rashideen cannot combine in the heart of a hypocrite. Love for the 4 Caliphate Rashideen combine in the heart of a believer. The 4 serve at The Hawd, which is supplied by Kauthar. Free from all Hypocrisy are those who - Love Abu Bakr (ra) is a sign of true faith. Love Umar (ra) and the path is made clear. Love Uthmaan (ra) you are guided by The Light of Allah SWT. Love Alee (ra) you have grasped the firmest handhold. And The ones who speak well of The Sahaba.
Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas (ra) The Knight of Islam Session 70 Al Arkam's (ra) wish is that Saad (ra) leads his funeral prayer. Al Arkam's (ra) house was at Mt Saffa and he was the 7th to embrace Islam. Saad (ra) prepares for departing the world, whilst poorly he marks his grave, stating buring me near Uthmaan ibn Makzoom (ra), the first to be buried in Baqi. 'Make a Lahd, and erect bricks over me just like we did for The Messenger ﷺ.'
Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas (ra) The Knight of Islam Session 64 The martyrdom of Uthmaan (ra); Alee (ra) takes the Caliphate reluctantly. The senior Sahaba are dispersed around the different lands; the Pledge to Alee (ra) is not secured. The Prophecy of the Great Disorder is upon the Sahaba. The Sahaba never questioned the sincerity of one another. With laughter, Saad (ra) explains why Alee (ra) called him pug nose. Just because one has a personal problem with one another, loyalty is not breached. Abdullah Ibn Umar (ra) whilst keeping out of the Great Disorder, regrets not fighting the transgressors alongside Alee (ra).
Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas (ra), The Knight of Islam Session 60 The nomination of Uthmaan (ra) as Caliph. 6 of the 10 were nominated to elect Umar's (ra) successor, 3 forfeit their position which left 3. 'I would rather have a knife to my neck than to take the role as Caliph," Abdur Rehman ibn Auf (ra). Abdur Rehman nominates Uthmaan (ra). Umar's (ra) wish is fulfilled, Saad (ra) is reinstated as governor of Kufa.
Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas(ra) The Knight of Islam Session 62 Great Companions who past away during the Khilafat of Uthmaan(ra) and the lifetime of Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas(ra). Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas(ra) was at the bedside of Salmaan Al Farsi(ra) and Abdul Rahmaan ibn Awf(ra). Brief bio on both these magnificent Companions(ra) may Allah(SWT) be well pleased with them. Ameen
Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas (ra) The Knight of Islam Session 63 Sa'ad's (ra) pinpoints the ring leaders of a profitless venture and their unholy plot. Sa'ad (ra) reacts to the martyrdom of Uthmaan (ra) and recites Surah Al Kahf verses 103-104 and then makes the following dua "make them regret, grieve, humiliate and strike them Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى. These evil doers were mad upon misguidance. For the first time, Alee's (ra) successorship to the high post lacked a full consensus.
Abdur Rahman Ibn Auf (ra) Final session 48. Sayidul Muslimeen. 32 AH, many of the elite are laid to rest in Baqi during this time. A dream, whereby Abdur Rehman (ra) states that he is honoured due to the Quran. Uthmaan (ra) performs the funeral prayer.
Abdur Rahman Ibn Auf (ra) session 45. Sayidul Muslimeen. Fabricated reports identified by Ibn Kathir, from unknown men and contradicting flawless reports. Alee (ra) The Absolute scholar pledges allegiance to Uthmaan (ra). The first half of Uthmaan's (ra) reign is excellent, the second half tribulations erupt.
Abdur Rahman Ibn Auf (ra) session 46. Sayidul Muslimeen. The tribulations erupt during the latter part of Uthmaan's (ra) reign and an aggrieved Abdur Rahman (ra). Explaining the statement of Abdur Rehamn (ra)... I did not stay behind at Badr... I did not turn away from the Sunnah of Umar (ra).
