He converted to Islam at a young age and was one of the companions of Rasulullahﷺ who was unable to take part in the Battle of Badr because he was not yet mature. He was then able to participate in the battle of Uhud and all the wars that followed together with Rasulullah ﷺ. It is recorded that he took part in around 15 battles with Rasulullah ﷺ.
Al-Barra`رضي الله عنه was one of the residents of Madinah (Anshar) who took part in the Ridhwan bait, an event of taking an oath of allegiance to Rasulullah ﷺ carried out by Muslims in response to the news of the murder of Usman bin Affan رضي الله عنه in Makkah which was later classified as fake news.
During the reign of Caliph Umar رضي الله عنه, he took part in efforts to liberate Iraq and the lands of Persia (now Iran). He was recorded as the leader of the troops in the effort to conquer and liberate the city of Ray, which was one of the areas that gave birth to many Muslim scientists in the future.
After all the efforts and fighting were finished, he then decided to stay in the city of Kufa. Al-Barra رضي الله عنه ` was one of the friends who supported Ali bin Abi Talib رضي الله عنه in the battle of Jamal and Shiffin so he was respected by the Shiites. This friend also played a role in the efforts of Caliph Ali bin Abi Talib رضي الله عنه in fighting the Khawarij.
It is truly a glory when children grow and develop and navigate their teenage years while Rasulullah ﷺ was still alive. A glory and happiness that is not only felt by them, but also by their parents.
The children who will be the next generation of the people have seen the Prophet ﷺ, believed in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as Rasulullah ﷺ, and enjoyed the religious training of Rasulullah ﷺ directly. And don't forget, they can also listen to his truthful words and record them, to be conveyed to the people at a later date. How beautiful their life is!
