\"\"<\/a>\u2018Adnaan<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was from the progeny of Qaydar bin Ismaa\u2018eel.<\/p>\n

Ma\u2018ad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ma\u2018ad was an extraordinarily strong and gallant warrior. He spent his entire life fighting against the Banu Israa\u2019eel and was triumphant in all his battles. His appellation was Abu Nazar. (\u201cAppellation\u201d refers to a name by which the father is called in attribution to his eldest child e.g. Abu Muhammed \u2013 Father of Muhammed)<\/p>\n

Ma\u2018ad bin \u2018Adnaan was a twelve year old lad during the reign of the famous king, Bukhtenasr. Allah Ta\u2019ala informed the Nabi of that era, Hazrat Armiyaa\u2019 bin Halqiyaa (\u2018alaihis salaam), through divine revelation, to convey the following message to Bukhtenasr: \u201cWe (i.e. Allah Ta\u2018ala) pledge to grant you (i.e. Bukhtenasr) dominance over the Arabs. And you, O Prophet! Take this young boy, Ma\u2018ad bin \u2018Adnaan, away with you on your horse (Buraaq) so that he does not suffer any harm. I will extract from the spine of Ma\u2018ad a noble prophet (Hazrat Muhammed (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)) with whom I will seal the succession of prophets (i.e. he will be the seal of all prophets) Accordingly, Hazrat Armiyaa\u2019 (\u2018alaihis salaam) mounted his Buraaq, seated the young Ma\u2018ad bin \u2018Adnaan with him, and left him in Syria. Here, in Syria, he grew up and lived with the Banu Israa\u2019eel. This is one of the reasons for the lineage of Ma\u2018ad bin \u2018Adnaan being so well known amongst the \u2018Ulamaa of the Ahl-e-Kitaab (Jews and Christians).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Nizaar<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Nizaar was born, his forehead was glittereing with the Noor (radiance) of Muhammad (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam). His father was overjoyed and in celebration, invited people for a feast. He also remarked, \u201cAll this, which I am doing, is \u2018Nazr\u2019 (very little) compared to the rights of this child.\u201d This is how he received the name Nizaar. Nizaar was the most handsome and brilliant man of his times. Some are of the opinion that \u201cNizaar\u201d means \u201cskinny and weak\u201d. He was thus referred to as \u201cNizaar\u201d due to his slender built.<\/p>\n

He is buried in Zaatul-Jaysh, an area close to Madinah Munawwarah.<\/p>\n

Mudhar<\/strong><\/p>\n

His actual name was \u2018Amr while Mudhar was his title. \u201cAbu Ilyaas\u201d was his appellation.<\/p>\n

The name \u201cMudhar\u201d is derived from the word \u201cMaadhir\u201d which literally means \u201csour\u201d. He was given this title as he was fond of sour foods and sour milk.<\/p>\n

He was a remarkably talented and wise man. Some of his words of wisdom are as follows:<\/p>\n

\u0645\u0646 \u064a\u0632\u0631\u0639 \u0634\u0631\u0627 \u064a\u062d\u0635\u062f \u0646\u062f\u0627\u0645\u0629 \u0648\u062e\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u062e\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0639\u062c\u0644\u0647 \u0641\u0627\u062d\u0645\u0644\u0648\u0627 \u0627\u0646\u0641\u0633\u0643\u0645 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0645\u0643\u0631\u0648\u0647\u0647\u0627 \u0648\u0627\u0635\u0631\u0641\u0648\u0647\u0627 \u0639\u0646 \u0647\u0648\u0627\u0647\u0627 \u0641\u0644\u064a\u0633 \u0628\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0644\u0627\u062d \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0633\u0627\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0628\u0631<\/p>\n

\u201cHe who sows evil will reap sorrow. The best form of goodness is that which is carried out without delay. Therefore compel your nafs to embrace that which it loaths carrying out (i.e. good deeds) and divert your nafs from succumbing to its base desires. There is no distinguishing feature between righteousness and evil except patience and steadfastness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He was a man with a beautiful and melodious voice. He formulated the technique of \u201cHudaa\u2019\u201d (a method of chanting which urges the camels to move at a more rapid pace).<\/p>\n

\u2018Abdullah bin Khaalid narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said, \u201cDo not speak ill of Mudhar as he was a Muslim.\u201d Hazrat ibn \u2018Abbaas (radhiyallahu \u2018anhuma) said, \u201c\u2018Adnaan, his father, his sons, Sa\u2018d, Rabee\u2018ah, Mudhar, Qays, Tameem, Asad and Rudayyah, all passed away on Millat-e-Ebraaheemi (the creed of Hazrat Ebrahim \u2018alaihis salaam).\u201d<\/p>\n
