Umar, Abu Dhar and the 3 Men At the time of Umar Bin Khattab (RA) there was a boy who killed these two brothers father.. the boy explained how he killed him by accident.. so Umar (RA) asked the two brothers "Will you forgive him?" They both said "No we want retribution.." So Umar (RA) asked the boy "Do you have any last requests?" The boy said "Yes my father passed away and I have a younger brother..and my father left some money for my brother, I would like 3 days to retrieve this wealth from a hidden place So that I could make sure my brother gets it when I die.." Umar( RA) said "I will trust you but find a guarantor, someone that will guarantee that you will be back".. The boy shouted out in the court.."Will someone not help me today?" Everyone puts their head down..till Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari (RA) the noble companion who gave dawah to many tribes raised his hand. Now understand to be a guarantor if the boy does not come back it will be the head of Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari that will be chopped off. First day goes by the boy is not to be seen, same for the second and the third day comes..the two brothers take Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari to the court again but Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari (RA) said "the day does not end till maghrib (sunset)".. And literally minutes before the Adaan of Maghrib the boy rushed in.. Umar (RA) asked the boy.. "Oh boy why did you come back? I did not send anyone after you.. I did not send a spy after you..what made you come back!?!" He said "I did not want anyone to say that when a Muslim gave his word he did not fulfil it..so I came back.." Umar (RA) turns to Abu Dharr (RA) and says "Oh Abu Dharr what made you to be the guarantor of this boy?" Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari (RA) replied.. "I saw a Muslim in need and I did not ever want anyone to say that a Muslim was need and no one was there to help him.. so I raised my hand to be the guarantor of this boy" The two brothers said "when we have people like this how can a Muslim ask for forgiveness and no one be there to forgive him.." SubhanAllah ;( so they forgave the boy. This was the legacy of Islam. This was the code of conduct, this why during the caliphate of Umar Bin Khattab they were able to achieve big things because they had a strong relationship with Allah.. they did things with Ihsaan. They lived with the code of conduct of Islam.. This is when Allah azza wajal will restore the Izza, respect & honour of this Nation!
