The Love And Respect Which Prevailed Among The Sahaba For The Prophet Muhammad Sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa Sallam

Men were not the only ones with intense love for the Prophet(pbuh). The hearts of the Sahabiat were also filled with intense love and respect for him, and they took great pleasure at being chosen to serve the Messenger of Allah(swt) Following are a few examples :
Distress overshadowed Madinah when the cry spread that the Messenger of Allah a had been martyred at Uhud, and all of Madinah was weeping. A Sahabiah from the Ansar said that she would never believe this until she saw it with her own eyes, and so she mounted her camel and set off for the battlefield of Uhud. Nearing Uhud, she asked an approaching Sahabi, “‫[How is Muhammad (pbuh)].”
‫He said that he did not know, but told her that he had seen her brother fall in battle. The Sahabiah was not distressed by this and pressed onward. She asked another Sahabi the same question, and instead learned that her father had also been martyred at Uhud. In this same fashion she also discovered that her husband had fallen. However, this grave news did not distract her from her resolve of finding out the truth about the fate of the Messenger of Allah(pbuh)
A Sahabi finally told her that he had seen the Prophet(pbuh) in good health atop a certain hill, and so she pressed onward with determination. Seeing the Prophet(pbuh) she dismounted her camel, and clutching the Prophet’s a shawl, said:

Every distress is easy after (seeing) Muhammad(pbuh)

SUBHANALLAH.....This shows that the love the Sahabiat had for the Messenger of Allah(pbuh) surpassed their love
for their fathers, brothers and husbands. This is the indication of complete faith.


Hadrat Rabiah Aslama(ra) was a very poor young man and no one was prepared to give
their daughter to him in marriage. The Messenger of Allah a told him to go to a certain
house and make an offer for marriage. This young man went and told the household that he
had been sent by the Prophet a to make an offer for marriage.
The father seemed very hesitant but asked his daughter, who said, “My father, do not
look at the man but look at the auspiciousness of the one who sent him.” The father agreed
and arranged the marriage


Hadrat Umme Ammara(raa) fought alongside her husband Hadrat Zaid(ra)bin Aasim g,
and her two sons, Hadrat Ammar and Hadrat Abdullah l, at Uhud. When the Sahabah
became distressed by the cry that the Prophet a had been martyred, she stood alongside
those protecting the Messenger of Allah(pbuh) against the Quraish onslaught.
Ibn Tamiyya Mal’oon (the Cursed) of the Quraish attacked the Prophet a with his
sword, which Hadrat Umme Ammara(raa) blocked with her shoulder, receiving a deep
wound. She attacked him fiercely and he would have been cut in two had he not been
wearing two coats of chain mail.
Hadrat Umme Ammara(raa) suffered a total of thirteen wounds on her head and body.
Even though her son received a wound that would not stop bleeding, she wrapped it with a
piece of her clothing and told him to stand up and defend his Prophet a. Pointing to a
certain individual, the Messenger of Allah(pbuh) said, “Umme Ammara, that is the man who
wounded your son.” Hadrat Umme Ammara(raa) turned fiercely and swung at the man’s leg.
The wounded man escaped, but only by crawling away on his hands. The Messenger of
Allah a smiled and said, “Umme Ammara, thank Allah who allowed you to fight in His
cause.”
Hadrat Umme Ammara (raa) revealed her heart’s desire, saying, “O Messenger of Allah ,
please pray that Allah to allows us to service you in the Hereafter.” The Messenger of Allah(pbuh)
made the following prayer for her, her husband and their two sons;

" O Allah u, make these people my companions in Paradise."

Hadrat Umme Ammara(raa) used to proudly say that after this dua, she found no trouble or
difficulty too hard to bear.
