Muhammad bin Waasi '(Abid Basrah and Decoration Experts Jurisprudence)We are in the year 87 H. When the hero of Islam and a great commander Qutaibah bin Muslim al-Bahili formidable lead his troops from the city Marwa towards Bukhara, about to dominate the rest of the country that exist across the river. He also wanted to fight on the outskirts of China and the pull of their jizya.
Not to mention Qutaibah troops crossed the river Muslim bin Seihun, suddenly people saw troops Bukhara Muslims. They beat the drums of war in all directions and ask for help neighboring countries such as Suged, Turkey, China, and so on. Duyunlah together, then groups of soldiers who assortment skin color, language and religion to their number doubled compared to the Muslim forces.
After that, they immediately blocked all the roads and surrounded the Muslims forces across the gap can be closed. To the extent that Muslim bin Qutaibah can not smuggle special forces to investigate and find news about the state of the enemy, nor could infiltrate spies into the opposite camp.Qutaibah then sandwiched with his troops near the town Bikand, unable to move forward or backward. While the enemy is always guerrilla with small groups of troops, then they fought throughout the afternoon. When dusk fell, they disappeared into the barracks and fortresses solid. The condition lasted for two months in a row. Qutaibah be confused to take a stand on whether to stop or continue forward.
Not long after, the news spread across the region ended the Muslims. They worry about the formidable forces that had never been defeated and their commanders who have never subjugated it. The governors in the regions were instructed to call the people to pray for the safety of the troops participate being fought in the country across the river. Now, every mosque filled with prayer to them. From the towers sounded a call request to God and the priests read prayers qunut in every prayer. Eventually formed a formidable army auxiliaries which are made up of volunteers from across the country. The movement was spearheaded by tabi'in famous sheikh, Muhammad bin Waasi 'al-Azdi.
It is said that Muslim bin Qutaibah have a non-Arab spy known cleverly named Taidzar finesse and expertise. The enemy succeeded in persuading spy with the lure of a great treasure that he would influence the leaders of the Muslims. Run strategy is to illustrate that the state of the Muslim forces are very weak compared to the powerful enemy forces. And see to it that the Islamic forces to pull out of the country without war.
Taidzar entered accompany Qutaibah bin Muslim who was talking to the principal officers and other military figures. She came in Qutabibah side, and whispered: "O Amir empty the room is when you want."
A moment later, Qutaibah signaled everyone to come out unless Dzizar bin Hushain who asked to remain in place. After that Taidzar said, "I bring the news to you, O Amir." Qutaibah said, "Say." Taidzar said, "Surely the Commander of the Faithful in Damascus has dismissed Hajjaj bin Yusuf ats-Tsaqafi and several officers of his followers, while you are amongst his men. He also had to replace them with new leaders in the armed forces. They are now widely being sent to new posts each and could be your successor will come at any time, day or night. In my opinion, the better your forces be withdrawn from the country and you go back to Marwa to rethink a strategy that is far from the battlefield. "
Not to mention the Taidzar stop chatter, Qutaibah call a bodyguard named Siyah then he said, "O Siyah, cut off the neck of this traitor!" Then Siyah Taidzar decapitated, then returned to its original position. Qutaibah turned to Dzirar bin Hushain and said, "In this world no one else who heard about the new news except you and me. I swear by Allah Most High and Exalted, when this news reached the ears of others before the war is over will I susulkan you to this cheap traitor. Therefore, if you are still dear to you, take care of yourself, take care of your tongue. Know that when the news spread to our troops, it will drop their fighting mental. "
People are called back. But when they saw Taidzar lying covered in blood, they gasped in astonishment. Qutaibah said, "What strikes you of the death of a traitor and a liar this?" They said, "We thought he was defender of Islam." Qutaibah said, "In fact, he is a traitor of the Muslims, then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala avenge the betrayal. "Then he shouted," Now you guys set out to destroy your enemies. Face them with a new heart and determination. "
Dutifully troop commander was carrying out orders, Qutaibah Muslim bin. They guard against the enemy on the boundary. Only, when the two sides have faced, Islamic forces saw many enemies and complete their weaponry, the fear began to spread. Qutaibah can feel what is raging in the hearts of his soldiers. Then he immediately around from one company to another company to raise their spirits. Then he looked to the right and left as he asked, "Where Muhammad ibn Waasi 'al-Uzdi?" They replied, "He was in the lineup right hand, O amir." Qutaibah said, "What they are doing?" They said, " leaning on his spear, setting forward, pointing his index finger to the sky to pray. Do you want us to call him? "
Qutaibah, "No, let him. By Allah, the finger (his prayer) I prefer dariapada over a thousand swords are unsheathed choice by a thousand young hotshot. Then let him pray, we know that prayer efficacious. "
War was raging, two major forces hit each other like a lion about to pounce on its prey. The two armies met like two flood waves that collide. Then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala down tranquility in the soul of the Islamic army and helped by the strength of his spirit.
Islam continues to invade enemy soldiers throughout the day, until the evening when moving, God shake your feet and trepidation enemy surrounded them and eventually gave up. The mujahideen can paralyze them easily, some scruffy and run topsy-turvy, others successfully in captivity. That is, they surrendered and were reconciled to Qutaibah by asking ransom.
Among the captives there are evil and hobby provoke his people to fight against Islam. He said, "I want to redeem myself, O Amir!" Qutaibah said, "How much for the ransom?" The prisoner replied, "Five thousand pieces of Chinese silk cloth worth one too."
Hearing the answer, Qutaibah turned to his companions, "What do you think?" They said, "In our opinion, such property will increase the number ghanimah for Muslims. Meanwhile we also do not worry about exploits and the like after a big victory that we achieved this. "
Qutaibah turned to Muhammad ibn al-Uzdi Waasi and asked, "What do you think, O Abu Abd Allah?" He replied, "O amir, the purpose of the Muslims out jihad is not to collect ghanimah or accumulated, but come out to please Allah, upholding religions Him on earth and destroy his enemies. "Qutaibah said," Jazakallahu Khairan, may Allah repay you, O Abu Abdillah, by Allah, I will not let people like this scare Muslim women after this. Although he wanted to redeem himself with the treasures of this world. "Then he ordered that the prisoner was killed.
Muhammad bin Waasi relationship 'with the leaders of the Umayyads not limited to Muhallab and Qutaibah bin Yazid bin Muslim al-Bahili only, but extends to the trustees and other emirs. These include trustee Basrah, Bilal ibn Abi Burdah. Many memorable event with the governor on this one.
One day Muhammad bin Waasi 'amir came to this with a robe of coarse cloth. He asked, "Why are you dressed as outrageous as this, O Abu Abdillah?" He pretended not to hear and not commented word so as guardian of Basra was again asked:
Bilal: "Why do not you answer my question, O Abu Abdillah?"
Muhammad: "I do not like to say that this ascetic, because it means I boast. And hate to say as indigence, because it shows that I'm not grateful for the gift of Allaah, when in fact I had the pleasure. "
Bilal: "Do you need anything O Abu Abdillah?"
Muhammad: "O amir, Allaah will not question His servants about making up and qadar on the Day of Judgement. But He will ask about their charity. "
Then the trustee Basrah terdiamlah this embarrassment.
Muhammad bin Waasi 'still on the side of the governor when lunch time arrives. Wali Basra invites him to eat together, but he rejected under various pretexts. Until Bilal became upset and said, "Are you not like to eat our food, O Abu Abdillah." He said, "Do not say so, O amir. By God that the good of the emirs of you is more than we love the children and families of our own. "
Many times Muhammad bin Waasi 'asked to be qadhi, but he always refused emphatically and sometimes make him face the risk accordingly.
He has been summoned by the police chief of Basra, Muhammad ibn Mundhir. He said, "The governor of Iraq ordered me to hand over the post of qadi to you." He replied, "Keep me from the job, may God give you prosperity." The request was repeated two or three times but he still refused.
Because denied, the police chief was furious and said, threatening, "you accept the job or I'll whip you up to 300 times without mercy!" He said, "If you do that then it means you act arbitrarily. Know that tortured in the world is better than to be punished in the Hereafter. "The police chief be a shame, then allowed Muhammad bin Waasi 'to go home with respect.
Assembly Muhammad bin Waasi 'in the mosque of Basra became the main purpose of the prosecution of science, wisdom and life seekers liver. History lot of notes about the news in the assembly. For example, when someone said to him: "O Abu Abdillah, give testament to me." He said, "I wasiatkan to you in order to become king of the world and in the hereafter." Asker surprised and said, "How can I make it happen?" He saying, "Do not ever greedy for the content world, surely you king of the world, while in the next king with victory over rewards in the sight of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala."
Another example, when someone says, "O Abu Abdillah, I love you." He said, 'God loves you because of your love. "He said," May Allah love you because kecintaamu it. "Then he went muttering," O Allah I refuge in You when I was loved because of you, when you are angry at me. "
Whenever he heard the applause and adulation of people against him because of piety and worship, he said, "If only sin that emit a foul odor, surely none of you are willing to come near me."
Muhammad bin Waasi 'constantly reminding the students to always hold fast to the Book of Allah and live under the auspices of the Koran. He said, "The Koran is a garden for every believer, every time he fulfilled one part of it means that he has been stopped in his garden."
He also advised that people reduce meal portions, because anyone who eat less will undoubtedly sharp mind and understanding, becomes soft and clean heart. The too full to eat would incriminate a person to fulfill his desire.
The degree of piety owned Muhammad bin Waasi 'reached a high peak. A story says that he was never seen in the market to sell his donkey. People who want to buy them asked, "Are you willing to sell it to me, O sheikh?" He replied, "If I was willing to myself surely I will not sell it."
Throughout his life, he was always afraid of his sins, fear checked his Lord. Because of that, every time he was asked, "How are you, O Abu Abd Allah?" He replied, "The closer to my death but stay away from my goal. What was worse I do. "When he saw the questioner astonishment, he said," What do you think about someone who every day walk to the afterlife? "
At the time of Muhammad bin Waasi 'illness that seems to be causing his death, people came rushing menjengkuk him to his house crowded with people out, sitting and standing. When you see them, Muhammad bin Waasi 'complained to the guard at his side, "What faidah their presence for me, if one day I demanded from the head crown to the feet. What did they use to me if one day I put into the fires of hell. "
After that he prayed, "O God, I beg forgiveness You for all conditions and for crimes I did, in a place where I sinned there, at the door of the evil that I attended, and from the evil that I got out thereof and any bad deeds I do, of bad words that I say and I'm talking about. O Allah, I ask your forgiveness for all that. Forgive me, I confess to you, grant forgiveness to me so that I can see thee safely before being brought to account. "
