"Allah, there is no god but He, the Living the Self-Subsisting. Neither slumber overtakes him nor sleep. To Him belongs
whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth, ..." and most likely he went on to complete the Verse of the Throne
(Ayat al-Kursi).
The Prophet smote his chest with his right hand in approval on hearing the reply and with his countenance beaming with
happiness, said to Abu Mundhir. "May knowledge delight and benefit you, Abu Mundhir."
This Abu Mundhir whom the Prophet congratulated on the knowledge and understanding which God had bestowed on him
was Ubayy ibn Kab, one of his distinguished companions and a person of high esteem in the early Muslim community…..
One of Ubayy's major fears for the Muslim ummah was that a day would come when there would be severe strife among
Muslims. He often became overwhelmed with emotion when he read or heard the verse of the Quran." "Say: He (Allah) has
power to send calamities on you, from above and below, or to cover you with confusion in party strife, giving you a taste of
mutual vengeance, each from the other." (Surah al-An'am, 6: 65)….
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 4252 Narrated by
Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There will be civil strife which wipe out the Arabs, and their slain will go to Hell.
During it the tongue will be more severe than blows of the sword.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 4251 Narrated by
AbuHurayrah
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There will be civil strife (fitnah) which will render people deaf, dumb and blind
regarding what is right. Those who contemplate it will be drawn by it, and giving rein to the tongue during it will be like smiting
with the sword.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 5400 Narrated by
Umm Malik al-Bahziyyah
When Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) mentioned civil strife and its nearness, she asked him who would be the
best of the people during it and he replied, "A man with his cattle who pays the zakat due on them and worships his Lord, and
a man who holds his horse's head and causes fear to the enemy while they are causing him fear."
Tirmidhi transmitted it.
STRIKE TERROR:
8:59 - Let not the unbelievers think that they can get the better (of Allah): they will never frustrate
(them).
8:60 - Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power including steeds of war
to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies of Allah and your enemies and others besides
whom ye may not know but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of
Allah shall be repaid unto you and ye shall not be treated unjustly. 122512261227
1225 The immediate occasion of this injunction was the weakness of cavalary and appointments of war in the early fights of
Islam. But the general meaning follows. In every fight, physical, moral, or spiritual, arm yourself with the best weapons
and the best arms against your enemy, so as to instil wholesome respect into him for you and the Cause you stand
for. (8.60)
1226 There are always lurking enemies whom you may not know, but whom Allah knows. It is your duty to be ready against
all, for the sacred Cause under whose banner you are fighting. (8.60)
1227 Be always ready and put all your resources into your Cause. You do not do so in vain. Allah's reward will come in
various forms. He knows all, and His reward will always be more generous than you can possibly think of. (8.60)
