entirety. Inshaa-Allah

you will feel a Madani


transformation within yourself.

Sheikh Muhammad bin Sulaimaan Jazuli


says that I was once on a journey. At one place it was
time to offer salaah. There was a well there but no rope
or bucket to pull the water out. I was still thinking about
this problem when a girl on top of a house looked and
asked, What are you looking for? I replied, I am
looking for a bucket and some rope. She asked my name,
and I told her. She said, Oh, so it is you who is spoken
about a lot but your condition is such that you cant even
pull water from a well. After saying this, she spat in the
well. As soon as she did this, water started rising in the
well and started flowing out. Muhammad bin Sulaimaan
Jazuli

performed his wudu and offered his

HUSSAINI GROOM
salaah and then asked the girl, Tell me truthfully, how
you achieved this marvel? She replied, I recite Durood
Shareef and with its blessing, this marvel happened. He

says that I was so impressed by that girl that I


promised I will write a book all about Durood Shareef.
(saaada-tud-darain, P159) Therefore, he

wrote a
book all about Durood Shareef which is famously known
as Dalail-ul-Khairaat.

During the last few days, we remembered the great
martyrs of Karbala. I will now tell you a painful story of
a Hussaini groom. Allama Moulana Sayyid Muhammad
Naeem-ud-Deen Muraadabaadi

narrates in his
book Sawanih-e-Karbala,

HUSSAINI GROOM

Sayyiduna Wahb

ibne Abdullah Kalbi was a


good natured youngster from the tribe of Bani Kalb. Just
after 7 days of his

marriage his mother

came to him. His mother was a widow and her only


prize and possession was her son. She


embraced her son and started crying. Sayyiduna Wahb

in confusion asked his mother, Dear mother!


Why are you upset? I dont remember ever upsetting you


3
HUSSAINI GROOM
during my lifetime and neither can I ever think of doing
that in the future. It is compulsory for me to obey your
orders and Inshaa-Allah

until the day I die I will be


your obedient. Dear mother! What is worrying you and
what has made you cry? My dear mother! I am willing to
sacrifice my life on your order. Please dont be upset.
On hearing this, his mother let out a scream and started
crying even more and said, My son, you are the light of
my eyes, you are the peace of my heart, you are the only
flower in my garden. Through sweat and tears I have fed
you, I cannot bear a single moment without you and my
heart becomes distressed in your absence. My dear son!
Today on the ground of Karbala, the grandson of the
Prophet

, the beloved of Sayyiduna


Ali

, the light of the eyes of Sayyidatuna


Fatima

is getting crushed under oppression


and cruelty. My Beloved! Is it possible for you to
sacrifice your life at their feet? I would spit on this world
if we are still alive and the beloved grandson of the Holy
prophet

is mercilessly martyred. If
you remember the love that I gave to you when you were
growing up, if you have not forgotten then my dear son!
Sacrifice yourself for Hussain

. The Hussaini
groom Sayyiduna Wahb

said, My Dear
Mother! It is my good fortune if I can sacrifice my life
for Hussain

and I am prepared to do so. I need




4
HUSSAINI GROOM
permission for a short while though so that I can go see
that woman who has given up everything in this world
for me and does not look at any other man except me. I
am worried about her and if she wishes, I will give her
permission to spend her life how ever she wants. The
mother said, My Dear Son! Women are of unsound
mentality, you might become trapped in her words and
might let this opportunity leave your hands. The
Hussaini groom Sayyiduna Wahb

said, My
Dear Mother! My love for Imam Hussain

is
so tight in my heart that no-one can open that knot of
love and no-one can wash that love away. After saying
this, he

went to his wife and said, The


grandson of the Prophet

, son of
Fatima

and blooming flower from the garden


of Sayyiduna Ali

is in difficulty in the grounds


of Karbala. Traitors have got them trapped. On hearing
this, his bride let out a heart trembling sigh and said, Oh
crown of my head! How upsetting it is that I cant
participate with you in this battle. Shariah does not allow
women to come to the battlefield in order to fight.
Unfortunately, I am deprived of this blessing and I cant
sacrifice myself for Imam Hussain

. Subhan-
Allah

, you have made the intention of Heaven and


Heavenly women will be waiting for you. Just do one
thing for me. When you are in Heaven and are presented


5
HUSSAINI GROOM
with the blessings of Heaven and the Heavenly women
are around you, please keep me by your side. The
Hussaini groom

took his wife and mother and


presented him in the court of Imam Hussain

.
The bride said, Oh son of The Prophet

, as soon as a martyr falls from his horse, he falls into


the lap of heavenly women and every wish is fulfilled in
Heaven. He (meaning Sayyiduna Wahb

) wishes
to sacrifice himself for you and I have no other relatives
who will take care of me. I just have one wish and it is
that I dont be separated from my groom on the Day of
Judgement. In this world I wish that you keep me as one
of your slave girls so that I can serve your female family
members

. After hearing all this, Sayyiduna


Wahb

said, Oh Imam Hussain

, if
through the intercession of the Prophet

I am granted Heaven, I will request the Prophet

to keep my bride with me because I have


made her a promise. After saying this, Sayyiduna Wahb

requested permission from Imam Hussain

and went into the battlefield. On seeing this, the


enemy became frightful as to who this young man this,
riding on a horse all by himself with a spear in his hand
and calling out in a loud voice,


6
HUSSAINI GROOM

`
.|

|

Meaning Imaam Hussain

is the leader and he is


a good leader. His character and personality is like a
bright candle.
Sayyiduna Wahb

went forward with full speed


and whoever came in his way was beheaded. Around him,
a pile of heads was created. The bodies of the enemy
could be seen writhing in pain and agony and covered in
blood. After a while he changed the direction of his horse
and headed towards his mother. He

came to his
mother and said, My dear mother! Are you happy with
me now? He went to his bride who was crying and told
her to be patient. As soon as he had said
this, a voice
was heard from the battlefield calling out
_


meaning is there anyone to fight? Sayyiduna Wahb

mounted his horse and headed towards the


battlefield for the second time. The new bride is
watching
her husband leave as tears fall from her eyes. The
Hussaini Groom reached the battlefield within moments
and saw that the enemy in the field was the famous
warrior and expert rider Hakam bin Tufail who was an
experienced fighter in the battlefield. With pride he leapt


7
HUSSAINI GROOM
off his horse. With one attack, Sayyiduna Wahb


lifted him with his spear and threw him onto the ground
and because of the impact of him hitting the ground, his
bones got crushed. There was uproar in both armies and
the enemy lost the will power to fight. Sayyiduna Wahb

rode straight into the heart of the enemy.


Whichever enemy came in his way was lifted on his
spear and smashed onto the ground. So many enemies
were killed using the spear that the spear broke into
pieces. As soon as it broke into pieces, he

took
out his sword and beheaded any enemy in the way. When
the enemies became fed up of what Sayyiduna Wahb

was doing, the enemy leader Amr bin Saad gave


the order that all the soldiers should attack at once and
from all around. This order of the leader was followed
and all the enemies attacked at once. Sayyiduna Wahb

was so badly injured by this cowardly attack


that he fell to the ground and the black hearted enemy cut
of his blessed head and threw it towards the army of
Imam Hussain

. The mother of Sayyiduna Wahb


picked up the head of her son and rubbed it on


her face and said, Oh son, my brave son, your mother is
happy with you now. The mother then put the head into
the lap of the bride. The bride kissed the head and in that
very instance her soul left her body and she joined her
Hussaini groom.

Markaz-ul-Auliya Lahore)
My Dear Islamic Brothers! You saw the enthusiasm
the AhleBait had and how the Hussaini groom
who was married since 17 days only, went into the
battlefield and faced the enemy and became entitled to
Heaven by being martyred. The mother and wife of the
Hussaini groom are also entitled too much praise. Look
at how the mother and the wife supported the Hussaini
groom and saw him get martyred in the feet of Imaam
Hussain

. May Allah

give even one drop


of this enthusiasm to our mothers and sisters so that they
can also present their children for the sake of Islam, make
them act upon the sunnah and make them travel in the
Madani Qafilas.

HUSSAINI GROOM

THREE BRAVE BROTHERS

Allama Abul Farrij Jozi

copies the following


incident in Oyunul-Hikayaat: Three young Syrian
brothers left with the Islamic army to participate in a holy
war. They rode separately, not with the army and did not
attack until the enemy attacked first.
Once, a big roman army attacked the Muslims. Many
Muslims were martyred and many were taken as
prisoners. The three brothers said to each other, The
Muslims are facing a big problem. It is necessary for us
that we dont think about our lives. We should go into the
battlefield. They went into the battlefield and said to the
remaining Muslims, Stay behind us and let us fight them.
If Allah

wills, we will be enough for you. After


saying this, the three brothers started fighting with the
roman army and forced them to retreat. The roman king
(who was watching the bravery of the three brothers) said to one
of his generals, Whoever arrests one of those three will
become my most trusted person and commander-in-
chief. When the roman army heard this, they no longer
cared about their lives and eventually captured the three
brothers alive without injuring them. Once they were
captured, the roman king said, There is no greater war
treasure(booty) than these three. After saying this, the
king ordered the roman army to leave and took the three


10
HUSSAINI GROOM
brothers with him to his kingdom. When they got there,
he told the three brothers to become Christian and said,
If you become Christian, I will have my daughters
marry you and later on you will become rulers. The
three brothers remained steadfast in their Imaan and
refused this offer of the king. The three brothers called
out to the Holy Prophet

and
pleaded. The king asked the people present as to what the
brothers were saying and the people replied, They are
calling their prophet. The king said to the brothers, If
you dont listen to what I say, I will order three big pots
to be brought and filled will hot oil. I will throw you each
into a pot. He then ordered three big pots to be brought
and ordered that the oil inside the pot be heated for three
days. Everyday, the king brought the brothers to the pots
and repeated his request again that become Christian and
I will have my daughters marry you and you will rule.
This offer was refused every time. After three days, the
oldest brother was called and this request was repeated to
him. The king threatened that if you do not accept my
offer I will throw you into the oil but still the brother
refused. In anger, the king ordered the brother to be
thrown into the oil. As soon as the brother was thrown
into the boiling oil, his flesh melted and his bones rose to
the surface. The king did the same thing to the second
brother and threw him into the boiling oil. When the king


11
HUSSAINI GROOM
saw the steadfastness of the brothers in such a difficult
time, he started saying to himself, I have never seen
anyone braver than these Muslims. What have I done?
After saying this, he called the younger brother and
started making excuses but the youngest brother didnt
fall into the trap of the king. After seeing all this, a
person present said, Oh king! If I can trap him, what
reward will I get? The king replied, I will make you the
commander-in-chief of my army. That person agreed.
The king asked, How will you trap him? The person
replied, Oh king! You know that the people of Arabia
are very interested in women and nearly every roman
knows that my daughter is the most beautiful in all of
Rome. Give this youngster to me and I will make him
meet my daughter alone. My daughter will be able to trap
him. The king gave that person forty days and handed
the youngster over to him. That person took the
youngster to his daughter and told her the situation. The
girl agreed to act upon what her father said. That
youngster started staying with that girl but during the day
he fasted and during the night he busied himself with
praying nawafil. The time limit that the king gave was
nearly up so he asked the father about the situation of the
youngster. He came and asked his daughter and she said,
I am unsuccessful in trapping him. He doesnt even pay
attention to me. A reason for this could be that two of his


12
HUSSAINI GROOM
brothers were killed in this city and he keeps on thinking
about them. Get an extension from the king and send us
to another city. The father went and told this king the
situation. The king extended the time limit and ordered
the girl and the youngster to be taken to another city.
That youngster still did exactly the same and fasted
during the day and remained busy in worship during the
night. When there were only three days until the time
limit ended, the girl went to the youngster and said, I
want to enter into you religion and she became a
Muslim. They then made a plan to escape. The girl took
two horses from the stable and they both headed towards
the Muslim ruled lands. One night, they heard the sound
of horses behind them. The girl thought that the Christian
soldiers had been following them and had caught up. The
girl said to that youngster, Pray to that Allah

who
I have brought faith onto that He saves us from our
enemy. The youngester turned around and was
shocked to see that his two brothers, who were
martyred, were sitting on the horses surrounded by a
group of angels. The youngster gave them salaam and
asked of their condition. They both said, With one
dive we entered Janna-tul-Firdous and Allah

has
sent us to you. After saying this, they went. The
youngster took the girl and went to Syria where he
married her. This incident of the three brothers became


13
HUSSAINI GROOM
very famous in Syria and poems were written for them.
One verse from a poem is:

(Translation: With the blessing of truth, Allah

will very soon


free the truthful in this world and during death.) (Oyunul-Hikayaat,
P197-198, Dar-ul-Kutubul Ilimiya Beirut)

May Allah

shower his mercy upon them and


forgive us for their sake.

My Dear Islamic Brothers! Did you see how the three
brothers remained steadfast in their Imaan? They not
only claimed to love the Prophet

.
They were sincere lovers of the Holy Prophet

. Two brothers were martyred and thus became


entitled to the blessings of Janna-tul-Firdous and the third
didnt even look at the beauty of Rome but instead
indulged himself in the worship of Allah

and the
one who came as a predator became the prey! From this
incident we also find out that in the time of difficulty, to
seek help from the Holy Prophet

is
the method of the AhleHaq (people of the truth) .

TURNED HIS FACE TO THE COMFORTS OF
THE WORLD

Look at the strength of the faith of that young blessed
Syrian youngester

. Just think! Both of his


brothers were martyred in front of his eyes but he
remained steadfast. Threats didnt scare him and the
harsh conditions of captivity didnt make him lose sight
of his goal. All the difficulties and problems didnt terrify
this pillar of truth and righteousness. His feet did not
move a single bit due to cruelty. The one willing to die
for Allah and His Messenger


did not care about worldly problepms. He accepted every
difficulty which he encountered in the way of Allah

.
Wealth and beauty of the world couldnt make this
warrior move away from the path of truthfulness and he
turned his face to the comforts of the world all for the
sake of Islam.
