Abu Mihjan was one of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) (may Allaah be
pleased with them).

This Sahaabi was suffering from an addiction to drinking wine. He was brought and flogged, then brought and flogged again, but he knew that this problem did not relieve him of his duty to strive for the cause of Islam.

So he went out with the Muslims to al-Qaadisiyyah as a soldier, seeking martyrdom on the battlefield. In al-Qaadisiyyah he was brought to the commander of the army, Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqaas, for having drunk wine. Sa’d detained him so that the Muslims ranks would be cleansed of such a person.

This detention was a harsh punishment which caused Abu Mihjan a great deal of anguish. When he heard the sounds of swords and spears, and the neighing of the horses, and he knew that the jihad had begun, and the gates of Paradise were open, he was filled with longing for jihad.

He called to the wife of Sa’d ibn Abi Waaqqas saying, “Let me go and I promise Allaah that if I come back safe and sound, I will put my own feet in the chains, and if I am killed, then you will be rid of me.” She felt sorry for him, so she let him go, and he leapt onto a horse belonging to Sa’d which was called al-Balqa’.

Then he picked up a spear and set off. He did not attack any group of enemy soldier but he scattered them. Sa’d was supervising the battle and he was surprised and said, “This is the running of al-Balqa’, and the style of attack is that of Abu Mihjan, but Abu Mihjan is in chains.”

When the battle was over, Abu Mihjan went back and put his feet in the chains.

The wife of Sa’d told him this wonderful story, so Sa’d admired this man and his care for Islam and his longing for jihad, so he himself went to this wine-drinker, released the chains with his own hands and said, “Get up, for by Allaah I will never flog you for drinking wine again.”

Abu Mihjan said, “By Allaah, I will never drink it again.”

I agree.

You guys have converted me to a Muslim just to comment, no problem.

Even in real life, they are always forcing people to convert to Islam.

Now back to this article. This is a strange story. It did not happen in Nigeria,and the names are alien to us Africans, so how is this article relevant to us in Nigeria?

Go and publish this story in Damascus or Cairo.

Here in Nigeria we believe in God,and that Jesus is his son.

when he heard the sounds of swords and clash of Spears "

Typical Islamic terrorism

Salaam."Fasbir Sabran Jamila" Patience is one of the most beautiful attributes one can ever have. It makes you listen, forgive, forget, endure, and move on in life. May Allah (SWT) increase our patience and forgive all our sins Ameen, Jumu'at Mubarak.

Lol. Please ignore him bro. Just like you said, it is hypocrisy.

He claimed he was forced. He saw the declaration on nairaland and used his own hands to click on it. Don't that show that the guy is not well? How can a sane human being use his own hand to do something yet claim that he was forced just because he wants to show the highest level of his bigotry and hypocrisy?

That's the reason why you should have ignored him bro.

I get your point but the more people like that are ignored the more they continue wallowing in their hypocrisy and bigotry but the viewers should be taught so they don't become one

My brother, I know people like that, they never snap out of their hypocrisy and bigotry. Talk from today to tomorrow, they will always twist your words to suit their whims.

The viewers should be sensible enough to see hypocrisy. But if they choose to follow, then it means they are no different from those they follow.

I for one have stopped bothering myself about what anyone says about Islam and Muslims, in fact, their hypocrisy and bigotry endears me to the Deen the more. Let them continue.

Mods i mistakenly clicked on the islam acceptance button, please kindly remove me from this group cause from now to eternity Jesus Christ remains my One and only Lord and the King of kings.
He sacrificed is life for my sake and so i will never let go of him for he is the way the truth and life and no one gets to the father/God but only through Jesus Christ

In Nigeria, we believe in God and testify that Muhammad, just like Isah (the one you call Jesus) is his servant and messenger. Even where Isah was born his kins (The Jews) do not believe he's son of God. So, your belief is a warped imagination of a deranged man called Paul. Both as said in the quran, you're blind, deaf and dumb.
