Hazrat Abdul Rehman bin Auf (R.A)

Hazrat Abdul Rehman bin Auf (R.A) is one amongst the Ashrah Mubashrah (given glad tiding of being the Janathi in his life). He (R.A) was also the member of the committee of Caliphate constituted by Hazrat Umar (R.A). He (R.A) migrated twice, first to Ethiopia and then to Madina Shareef.

Hazrat Abdul Rehman bin Auf (R.A) had red and white complexion, with black eyes and the eye lashes were long. His (R.A) hair remained black till He passed away. He (R.A) was a very charming person. He (R.A) passed away at the age of seventy two and is buried in Jannat-ul-Baqi.

He (R.A) participated in all the battles and expeditions in the company of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). During the battle of Uhad, he (R.A) received twenty one injuries and two of his teeth broke away.

He (R.A) was a successful trader, out class wealthy and very great person in generosity. He (R.A) spent his money for the cause of Islam. (Muhammad Rasool Allah, P.78, Sheikh Muhammad Raza)

Hazrat Ziaad Bin Sikan (R.A)

Once during the event of a battle, Holy Prophet (S.A.W) was aware that some disbelievers, who were approaching Him, with the intent to attacking Him (S.A.W). The Beloved Prophet (S.A.W) called out, "Who is prepared to sacrifice their life for me?"

Hazrat Ziaad bin Sikan (R.A) heard this and gathered five Ansaaris to fend off the Kuffaar (infidels). They bravely fought and drove the Kuffaar away from Holy Prophet (S.A.W). Whilst fighting, he (R.A) was severely injured, causing him to fall to the ground. The wounds were so severe that the Sahaabi (R.A) was almost close to becoming a Shaheed (Martyr). However, he (R.A) still retained breaths of life within him, when Rasoolullah (S.A.W) ordered that he (R.A) be brought in front of Him.

When the blessed injured body of the Sahabi (R.A) was placed before Holy Prophet (S.A.W), Hazrat Ziaad (R.A) moved his (R.A) body and placed his head at the feet of his master, Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (S.A.W) and there after became Shaheed.

Allah Ho Akbar! The Martyrdom of Hazrat Ziaad (R.A) illustrates the true love the Sahabah Iqraam (R.A) possessed. They were even willing to sacrifice their lives at the feet of Rasoolullah (S.A.W).
