Fear
of death was unknown to the Sahabah . Therefore, they were fearless
and brave. A person who can face death can meet all situations. There
was neither love for wealth nor any fear for the enemy. I wish I
could also have this quality from these true heroes.

Jahsh and Sa’ad Pray for Each Other
| Saad ibn Waqas is braveness in time of war and peace. |
On
the eve of the battle Uhud, Abdullah bin Jahsh said to Sa’ad bin
Abi Waqqaas : ‘‘O, Sa’ad! Come, let us make dua together. Let
each one ask Allahfor the grant of his only wish, whilst the other
would say Aameen to it. In this way, the duas are more likely to be
answered by Allah .” Sa’ad agreed, and they both went to a corner
to make dua. Sa’ad was first to ask Allah , saying: “O Allah!
When the battle rages tomorrow, let me face a very strong and fierce
enemy. Let him attack me with might and power, and let me drive him
away with all my strength. Then, O Allah, let me be successful by
killing him for your sake, and allow me to have his possessions as
booty.”
Abdullahsaid:
“Aameen.”
Then
Abdullah started his dua, saying: “O Allah! let me face one of the
toughest fighters among the enemy tomorrow. Let him attack me with
full force and let me attack him with my full strength. Then let him
have the upper hand and kil1 me. He may cut my nose and ears from my
body. When I appear before you on the Day of Qiyaamah, You may ask
me, ‘How did you lose your nose and ears, O, Abdullah!,’ To which
I may reply, ‘These were lost in the way of Allahand His Nabi saw.’
Then You will say, ‘Yes! Surely these were lost in my way.’”
Sa’ad
said: “Aameen.”
