However, I feel that the most brave and courageous person was Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu). The reason for this is that I once saw the Quraish beating Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) while saying:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-family: 'Traditional Arabic'; font-size: 16pt;\">\u0623\u0646\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0630\u064a \u062c\u0639\u0644\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0622\u0644\u0647\u0629 \u0625\u0644\u0647\u0627 \u0648\u0627\u062d\u062f\u0627<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>So you are the one who has united all the gods into a single deity!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile they were beating him, none of us had the courage to go close and defend him from the enemy. Coincidentally, Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) arrived, plunged into the mob, punching one person and delivering a blow to another. Just as the man with imaan had addressed Fir\u2018aun and Haamaan saying, \u2018Are you killing a man because he says, \u2018My Lord is Allah\u2019?\u2019, Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) said to the disbelievers at that time, \u2018Woe unto you!

One moment in the life of Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) was far superior to the entire life of that believing man. That man concealed his imaan while Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) exposed his imaan. Furthermore, that man sufficed on merely giving verbal advice, while Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) gave verbal advice and also physically defended and assisted Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>(Extracted from Seeratul Mustafa 1\/205)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On one occasion, while Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) was delivering a khutbah to the people, he asked them, \u201cTell me, who is the most brave and courageous person?\u201d The people replied, \u201cYou are the most brave and courageous.\u201d Hazrat \u2018Ali (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) responded, \u201cMy condition is such that anyone who challenged me, I was able &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":18501,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[739,62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-inviting-to-islam","category-seerah"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18500"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18502,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18500\/revisions\/18502"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ihyaauddeen.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
