[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 />
