Hadhrat Abu Dujanah Radhiallaahu Anhu

Hadhrat Abu Dujanah Radhiallaahu Anhu

Amongst the Lions of Allah was a companion by the name of Abu Dujana Sammak bin Kharsha RA. He was from the Ansar and accepted Islam early in the Prophet's Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam mission. He was known for his piety and strength and bravery in Jihad. During the battle of Uhud, the second most significant battle (after the victory of Badr), the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam urged his Companions to fight and spurred them to show stamina and steadfastness in the Jihad. He started to implant the spirit of boldness and bravery in them. To wage and inflame them and maintain their zeal in the fight, he Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam drew his sword, held it in his hand and called out to his Sahaba and said, "Who is ready to take this sword and fulfill its right?" Many notable Sahaba set out to take it. But it was granted to none of them.

The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, "Sahl bin Haneef and Abu Dujana have been as courageous as you are in the Jihad." After the death of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam, during the Khalifah of Abu Bakr RA, Abu Dujana fought until he was Shaheed (martyred) against the army of Musailima al-Kathab [the Liar who claimed Prophethood in the lifetime of the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam and made war against his Sahaba when Abu Bakr was Khalifah.]

To us, his life is a legacy of sacrifice and lessons of bravery and fierceness against Kufr. He is the epitome of a true Mujahid. May the mercy of Allah be upon Abu Dujana RA and may He guide our Muslim youth towards the example he left behind. Ameen.
