Mufti Menk – Why Didn’t Uthman RA Take Part In The Battle Of Badr

00:00:00 --> 00:00:01

My brothers and sisters,

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

Uthmanab Ni Affan

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

did not take part

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

in the battle of Badr, from

00:00:09 --> 00:00:10

amongst the sahabah

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

He was one of those who stayed behind

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

upon the instruction of Muhammad

00:00:17 --> 00:00:17

Why?

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

One might ask, the most important battle was

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

the battle of Badr. Those who took part

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

in the battle of Badr were known as

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

important people. They were known as people of

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

paradise.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

Why didn't Uthman take part? While Muhammad

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

told him, O Uthman, your wife is not

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

well at all. And that was the daughter

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

of Muhammad

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

ruqayyah binti Muhammad

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

She's not well at all. You take care

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

of your wife. Don't worry, we will go

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

out in the battle of Badr. So Uthman

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

ibn Affan did not go with them. And

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

when Muhammad

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

came back from Badr, he found that his

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

daughter had passed away.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

He found that his daughter had passed away.

00:00:58 --> 00:00:58

And Uthmanabni

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

Affan was very very sad.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

Not questioning the decree of Allah, but saddened

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

because of the demise of his own wife,

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

the daughter of Muhammad

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

Muhammad

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

considered him from amongst those who took part

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15

in the battle of Badr,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

and granted him from the spoils. And his

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

name was written as being from amongst those

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

who took part in the battle. And on

00:01:22 --> 00:01:22

top of that,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

what we would term a cherry on the

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

cake, was that Muhammad

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

got

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

him married to another daughter of his known

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

as Umu kalthum binti Muhammad

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

So this is why Uthmanabni Affan,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

the only human being that we know of

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

to be married to 2 daughters of a

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

Prophet of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
