[End of Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee’s addendum]<br />

my eyes. So bright was his splendor that I could not gather enough courage to look at his face for any length of<br />

time. If I were asked to describe his feature, I would not be able to do so because I have never caught a full<br />

glimpse of his face. Had I died in that state I could have hoped to be one of the dwellers of Jannah. Thereafter, we<br />

were made responsible for many things and in the light of which I am unable to know what is in store for me.<br />

When I die, no (female) mourner or fire should accompany my bier. When you bury me, fill my grave well with<br />

earth; then stand around my grave for the space of time within which a camel is slaughtered and its meat is<br />

distributed so that I may enjoy your intimacy, and in your presence ascertain what answer I can give to the<br />

Messengers of my Rabb (the angels in grave).” [Ṣaḥeeḥ Muslim (121-192)]<br />

Shaikh al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee said in al-Ṣaḥeeḥah: So based on these Aḥaadeeth, it is nor permissible to insult and belittle<br />

`Amr Ibn al-`Aaṣ رضيُاهللُعنه – like how some of the modern day writers do today *, and many others do the same –<br />

all this because of the differences, rather, his fighting against `<strong>Al</strong>ee ‏.رضيُاهللُعنه The thing which took place between<br />

him and `<strong>Al</strong>ee does not negate his Imaan; as having Imaan does not mean that one is perfect and without fault,<br />

especially, when it is said that what happened was due to his (`Amr’s) judgment and not because of his desires.<br />

[See al-Ṣaḥeeḥah (1/289)]<br />

* A lot of books and other materials over the internet, especially in the <strong>English</strong> language disparage some of the<br />

Companions, especially Mu`aawiyah and those who were with him, like `Amr Ibn al-`Aaṣ ‏.رضيُاهللُعنهمُاعمعني Take for<br />

example the book: “Men around the Messenger”, written by Khaalid Muḥammad Khaalid al-Miṣree. The author of<br />

this book tried to defame Abu Dharr, `Amr Ibn al-`Aaṣ, Abu Moosaa al-Ash`aree, and Mu`aawiyah ‏.رضيُاهللُعنهم Then<br />

there are those who did not even feel shy to defame even the likes of `Uthmaan ‏.رضيُاهللُعنه And <strong>Al</strong>laah’s help is<br />

sought.]<br />
