Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S26)
al-Ahnaf Ibn Qais رضي الله عنه: “Wealth owns you if you don’t spend it. You own wealth if you spend it”.
Talha رضي الله عنه used to look after his entire tribe, Banu Taym. He would clear their debts, marry off their widows, and take care of orphans. He رضي الله عنه gave our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها an annual amount of 10,000 Dirhams!
Sadaqah is rewarded two-fold to family, for not only is it Sadaqah, it is maintaining ties.
A glimpse into Talha’s رضي الله عنه intimate moments with The Messenger ﷺ: A rakat is missed in Salat, Talha رضي الله عنه informs The Messenger ﷺ of this…
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S25)
Qabeesa (r.h): “I saw no one more learned in the Qur’an than Umar رضي الله عنه. He was the most discerning. No one was more generous than Talha رضي الله عنه. He gave without being asked. Muawiya رضي الله عنه was the most forbearing. He is inwardly as he is outwardly. I saw Amr Ibn al-Aas رضي الله عنه. None is gentler or nobler than he. If there was a city with 8 gates, al-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه would figure out how to get out of each one [i.e a sly genius]”.
Talha رضي الله عنه: “I feel shy that a man loses hope in me and I let him down”.
Abundant Zhikr and Sadaqah: these 2 deeds build a special link with Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى.
The Messenger ﷺ: “Love for wealth grows hypocrisy in your heart, just as water grows vegetation”.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S24)
A glimpse into Talha’s رضي الله عنه generosity: Jihad and generosity are 2 deeds which are of utmost significance. They’re even used as a differentiation between the Sahaba رضي الله عنهم themselves. (Surah [57:10]). Talha رضي الله عنه put his effort into both deeds!
Talha رضي الله عنه once sold land and earned 700,000 Dirhams. This troubled him all night. He then distributed the wealth and when morning came, it was all gone.
The Messenger ﷺ titled Talha رضي الله عنه: “Talha al-Fiyaad”, “Talha the bountiful”. Talha رضي الله عنه, whilst on the campaign of Khaybar, bought a well at the foot of a mountain and slaughtered a she-camel to feed the people. Thus he earned this title. He was titled “Talha al-Jood”, “Talha the generous” at Hunayn.
This was the generosity of Talha رضي الله عنه during campaigns, so imagine what he was like during regular times! A smooth sea never made a seasoned sailor…
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S23)
The Messenger ﷺ is informed that the Munafiqs were gathering in the house of Suwaylim, a Jew. They were plotting, getting people to not join The Messenger ﷺ for Tabook. The Messenger ﷺ orders Talha رضي الله عنه to burn down the house.
This is a separate incident, not to be confused with the ‘Masjid’ Diraar incident, which happened after Tabook.
Surah [9:107] mentions this so called Masjid the Munafiqs built. They used it to make plans to destroy Islam. The verses then mention Masjid Quba and Nabi (ﷺ) - they are far better than the one built by the Munafiqs.
(S22)
Haythuma Abu Sa’ad رضي الله عنهم: another martyr of Uhud. His son, Sa’ad رضي الله عنه was martyred at Badr.
Wahab Ibn Kamoos and his nephew al-Haarith Ibn Uqbah رضي الله عنهم. Wahab رضي الله عنه single handedly took out a cavalry headed for The Messenger ﷺ. The Messenger ﷺ gives him glad tidings…Wahab رضي الله عنه is martyred, wearing the best of smiles. His nephew Haarith رضي الله عنه was martyred at Uhud also.
Returning to Talha رضي الله عنه: Despite all his severe injuries from Uhud, Talha رضي الله عنه still participated in every campaign during The Messenger’s ﷺ lifetime!
Umar رضي الله عنه: “Talha رضي الله عنه is a pillar of Islam”.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S21)
The Messengers ﷺ love for the Martyrs of Uhud:
The Messenger ﷺ: “O Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى, how I would have loved to have been with them at the foot of the mountain” (I.e martyred alongside them رضي الله عنهم).
The Messenger ﷺ would visit the Martyrs of Uhud annually, so did the Khilaaf e Rashideen (رضي الله عنهم).
Some of the blessed Martyrs of Uhud: Musab Ibn Umayr, Abdullah Ibn Amr Ibn Haram, Hanzala, Sa’ad Ibn Rabee, Ziyad Ibn al-Sakan, Amr Ibn al-Jamooh, Kharija Ibn Zayd, Yamaan, Thaabit Ibn Waqash, Mukhayreeq and Amr Ibn Thaabit رضي الله عنهم.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S20)
The Messenger ﷺ instructs the Companions رضي الله عنهم to praise Talha رضي الله عنه in poetry. Hasan Ibn Thaabit رضي الله عنه: “After Muhammad ﷺ Talha رضي الله عنه led us all”. Abu Bakr and Umar رضي الله عنهم then recited some poetry in praise of Talha رضي الله عنه.
If The Messenger ﷺ has ordered praise of an indivual, we must follow suit and praise him. The Companions رضي الله عنهم stated that at Uhud, Talha رضي الله عنه defended Islam itself! We must show gratitude.
Ameer Muawiya رضي الله عنه says to Musa Ibn Talha رضي الله عنهم (Talha’s son): “Shall I give you glad tidings?” - “I have heard The Messenger ﷺ say that Talha رضي الله عنه is a man who has fulfilled his vow”.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S19)
Abu Sufyaan (رضي الله عنه) turned his head upon seeing the state of the Martyrs رضي الله عنهم - he did not order this.
Abu Sufyaan رضي الله عنه calls out at the base of Uhud: “Is Muhammad [ﷺ] still with you?”. He asks of Abu Bakr and Umar رضي الله عنهم as well - even the disbelievers at that time knew of the blessed order.
The Messenger ﷺ orders Ali رضي الله عنه to ensure the disbelievers return to Makkah. ~70 men were with Ali, including Abu Bakr and Zubayr رضي الله عنهم. Surah [3:172] praises these men, and that they have an immense reward.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S18)
The last assault at Uhud: with The Messenger ﷺ at the elevated face of Uhud, the disbelievers tried one last attack. Khalid Ibn al-Waleed رضي الله عنه with his force headed towards The Messenger ﷺ. The Messenger ﷺ made a dua: “Let not these people reach us”, some of the Muhajireen (including Umar) and the Ansar رضي الله عنهم went forward and thus the disbelievers retreated.
The mutiliation of the Martyrs رضي الله عنهم: Hind رضي الله عنها, at this point not a Muslim, and some others cut off the Martyrs’ noses and ears, making necklaces and anklets out of them! She gave Wahshi (رضي الله عنهم) her golden necklace and jewellery for killing Hamza رضي الله عنه. Hind رضي الله عنها takes Hamza’s رضي الله عنه liver and chews it but could not swallow it…
The Messenger ﷺ is deeply saddened and angered when he sees what was done to his beloved uncle رضي الله عنه.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S17)
The Messenger ﷺ: “If anyone wants the pleasure of seeing a martyr walking on the Earth, look at Talha”. (رضي الله عنه).
Some reports mention 14 men (رضي الله عنهم) were with The Messenger ﷺ, some say it was 12, 11, 7. There is no contradiction: the numbers differ as when needs rose, some (رضي الله عنهم) broke away and then returned later. There was 7 Muhajireen and 7 Ansar رضي الله عنهم.
Abu Talha رضي الله عنه gets drowsy during Uhud: this was a blessed gift sent from Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى showing His pleasure. Others رضي الله عنهم felt it too.
Abu Talha رضي الله عنه is not to be confused with Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه. Abu Talha’s name is Zayd Ibn Sahl رضي الله عنه. He was an elite warrior, Badri, paired brother of Abu Ubaydah رضي الله عنه, he married Umm Sulaym, Anas’s mother رضي الله عنهم.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S16)
The Messenger ﷺ titled Talha رضي الله عنه: “Talha al-Khayr”. “Talha the Good”.
Whenever Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه mentioned Uhud, he said all credit goes to Talha رضي الله عنه that day. Abu Bakr and Abu Ubaydah رضي الله عنهم upon seeing The Messenger ﷺ again during the intense battle, rushed to him, ﷺ. The Messenger ﷺ tells them to see to their Companion, Talha رضي الله عنه who was severely injured and lost a lot of blood, but due to their immense love for The Messenger ﷺ they went to him first.
Abu Ubaydah رضي الله عنه uses his front teeth to remove the lodged helmet chain links from The Messenger’s ﷺ cheek. He lost both his teeth but this only increased him in handsomeness!
Talha رضي الله عنه had fallen into a ditch. He had 70 wounds, from swords, spears and arrows, showing he defended The Messenger ﷺ from all distances. اَللَّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ.
Talha’s رضي الله عنه hand was paralysed and he lost his index and middle finger. When the other Companions رضي الله عنهم arrived and Talha knew The Messenger ﷺ was now safe, he رضي الله عنه fell unconscious again.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S15)
Talha and 11 men from the Ansar رضي الله عنهم form a ring around The Messenger ﷺ. One by one they step forward to defend The Messenger ﷺ whilst heading towards mount Uhud. All 11 men from the Ansar رضي الله عنهم were martyred. One of these men was Ziyad Ibn al-Sakan رضي الله عنه.
The Messenger ﷺ: “On the day of Uhud, I looked to my right and saw Jibraaeel (a.s). I looked to my left and saw Talha [رضي الله عنه]”.
The Messenger ﷺ: “Should you [i.e Talha رضي الله عنه] have any difficulties on The Day of Judgement, Jibraaeel (a.s) told me that he himself will come to your aid”. This was due to the aid and defence Talha رضي الله عنه gave to The Messenger ﷺ.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S14)
On the day of Uhud, The Messenger ﷺ cursed 3 men, then Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى revealed Surah [3:128] (“You ˹O Prophet˺ [ﷺ] have no say in the matter. It is up to Allah to turn to them in mercy or punish them, for indeed they are wrongdoers”). These 3 men later became Companions رضي الله عنهم.
When The Messenger ﷺ was in the ditch, he said: “Forgive my people, for they do not know”.
Utbah Ibn Abi Waqas damaged The Messenger’s ﷺ lower lip and broke his lower canine. He ﷺ had a deep cut on the shoulder and had 2 helmet links embedded into his cheek. This was an honour for The Messenger ﷺ.
Sa’ad Ibn Abi Waqas رضي الله عنه sees Jibraaeel and Mikaeel (a.s) fighting ferociously by the side of The Messenger ﷺ!
The false report that The Messenger ﷺ was martyred caused the Muslims (رضي الله عنهم) to react in 4 ways;
1). There was no point in fighting now, The Messenger ﷺ has been killed. Return, regroup and repower at Madinah.
2). They (رضي الله عنهم) regrouped at Mount Uhud.
Regarding the first 2 groups, Surah [3:155] and [159] were revealed. Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى mentions the short comings of the Companions رضي الله عنهم and that they have been forgiven, and that The Messenger ﷺ should pray for their forgiveness.
3). This group, رضي الله عنهم, upon hearing The Messenger ﷺ was martyred, thought we must fight harder and martyrdom is what is for us now!
4). This group, رضي الله عنهم, didn’t split from The Messenger ﷺ thus the rumour he had been killed had no effect on them, as they could see him ﷺ. Included in this group was Talha رضي الله عنه.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S13)
~10 fighters were by The Messenger ﷺ. This includes Nusayba, her husband Zayd Ibn Asim, and their sons Abdullah and Habeeb رضي الله عنهم.
Nusayba رضي الله عنها picks up a shield and defends The Messenger ﷺ. When The Messenger ﷺ looked right and left, she was there…
Her son, Abdullah Ibn Zayd رضي الله عنهم was the one who delivered the final blow to Musaylimah The Liar - this was vengeance served as Musaylimah was the one who killed Nusayba’s other son, Abdullah’s brother: Habeeb رضي الله عنهم.
Amr Ibn Qameeya, the one who struck The Messenger ﷺ, Musab and Nusayba رضي الله عنهم was later killed by a Ram. He died an excruciating death.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S12)
The main body of the Muslims were fighting the main body of the Quraysh. The split group, containing The Messenger ﷺ fought against Ikrimah (رضي الله عنه) and his force. The Messenger ﷺ was in a dangerous position.
Amr Ibn Qameeya struck The Messenger ﷺ on the cheek and on the shoulder. The Messenger ﷺ falls into the ditch…
Musab رضي الله عنه defended The Messenger ﷺ and fought ferociously, ultimately ending with his martyrdom.
Musab رضي الله عنه looked like The Messenger ﷺ in his armour, thus when he was killed it appeared if The Messenger ﷺ was killed - this is how the rumour spread.
Nusayba bint Ka’ab رضي الله عنها defends The Messenger ﷺ wholeheartedly…
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S11)
Some more Companions رضي الله عنهم who are still classed as Badris, but did not physically participate in Badr due to other reasons; Uthmaan Ibn Affaan, Abu Lubaba, Asim Ibn Adee, Haarith Ibn Haathib, Haarith Ibn al-Sammah, Khuwaat Ibn Jubayr, Abu Seeya and Sa’ad Abu Malik (رضي الله عنهم).
Talha رضي الله عنه did miss out physically at Badr, however his performance in the next battle, Uhud, showed his determination, and it went down in history.
Uhud was fought ~3-4 A.H, making Talha رضي الله عنه around 32 years old. The disbelievers numbered around 3,000, the Muslims numbered around 700.
The Battle was initially being won by the Muslims, however the turn over occurred and the situation worsened. 200 horses came from one direction and a group of disbelievers from the other, sandwiching the Muslims. They fought bravely in smaller, split groups. The Battle was divided into 2 arenas.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S10)
The blessed pairing: There are 3 views with regards to who Talha رضي الله عنه was paired with in Madinah; Abu Ayub al-Ansari, Ubayy Ibn Ka’ab and Ka’ab Ibn Maalik رضي الله عنهم. The strongest view is that Talha رضي الله عنه was paired with Ka’ab Ibn Malik رضي الله عنه. Ibn Taymiyyah (r.h) endorses this view.
One should stand for his brother when greeting him. Not doing so may cause ill feelings in the heart. The one being stood up for should not feel pride in his heart, if he does then he should request the people not to stand for him.
Talha and Sa’eed Ibn Zayd رضي الله عنهم didn’t participate in Badr due to being sent out by The Messenger ﷺ to scout out the caravans 10 days prior to Badr.
Talha and Sa’eed رضي الله عنهم still recieved spoils from Badr and are classed as Badris.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S9)
Why did Nawfal target Abu Bakr and Talha? رضي الله عنهم. Zubayr’s رضي الله عنه father, al-Awaam was the brother of Nawfal (thus the brother of Khadija رضي الله عنها also!).
al-Awaam passed away early thus Nawfal was the caretaker of Zubayr رضي الله عنه. When Nawfal found out he embraced Islam he put Zubayr رضي الله عنه in a straw mat and placed fire underneath to choke him. Nawfal told him to leave Islam, Zubayr رضي الله عنه didn’t budge, even though he was ~8 years old!
Nawfal thus targeted Abu Bakr and Talha رضي الله عنهم as they were the ones who told Zubayr رضي الله عنه of Islam.
Talha رضي الله عنه is returning from a business trip and runs into The Messenger ﷺ and Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه who were performing the Hijrah! Talha رضي الله عنه dresses them in Syrian garments and he himself goes to Makkah to sort things final.
Talha رضي الله عنه performs Umrah when he returns to Makkah despite the dangerous circumstances in Makkah.
Zayd Ibn al Haaritha, Abu Rafi, Abdullah Ibn Urayqidh رضي الله عنهم and some other men were chosen to bring The Messenger’s ﷺ and Abu Bakr’s family رضي الله عنهم to Madinah. Talha رضي الله عنه also aided them in this.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S8)
Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه was so instrumental as he was very knowledgeable and generous, thus the people followed him so. It can be said that Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه was close to bringing the entirety of the Quraysh into Islam.
Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه has al-Waleed Ibn Mugheera on the verge of accepting Islam but Abu Jahl intervenes. 19 Verses were then revealed…
Nawfal Ibn Khuwaylid, the brother of Khadija رضي الله عنها. He was known as The lion of the Quraysh. He tied up Abu Bakr and Talha رضي الله عنهم to rough them up and give them some harsh words. Thus they affectionately were given the title: “al-Qarinayn” “The Two tied together”.
Nawfal was killed at Badr by Ali رضي الله عنه. Our Lion (رضي الله عنه) killed their lion.
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah رضي الله عنه
(S7)
Talha رضي الله عنه was of the first of the first to embrace Islam. He was amongst the first 8.
A ~15 year old Talha رضي الله عنه embarks on a business trip to Busra, Syria. There, he encounters a Christian monk who says: “Has Ahmed [ﷺ] emerged yet?”.
The Monk tells Talha رضي الله عنه to go to Makkah and follow The Messenger ﷺ and to not let anyone beat him to it! It is a tremendous honour! Talha رضي الله عنه returns to Makkah and the people tell him of The Messenger ﷺ proclaiming and that Talha’s cousin, Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنهم) has followed him.
Talha رضي الله عنه embraced Islam at the hands of Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه.
Many of the Companions, including some of the ten promised Paradise (رضي الله عنهم) embraced Islam at Abu Bakr’s رضي الله عنه hands.
