27. Book of the Companions
٢٧۔ كِتَابُ مَعْرِفَةِ الصَّحَابَةِ ؓ
[Machine] "Abu Shajara, Yazid bin Shajara al-Rahawi, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , died in the year fifty-eight in Rome."
«مَاتَ أَبُو شَجَرَةَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ شَجَرَةَ الرَّهَاوِيُّ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالرُّومِ فِي سَنَةِ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسِينَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Swords are the keys to Paradise." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «السُّيُوفُ مَفَاتِيحُ الْجَنَّةِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
[Machine] O people, remember the blessings of Allah upon you. If you could see what I see - colors of black, red, green, and white, and in the horizons, things that, when prayers are established, the doors of the heavens, gates of Paradise, and gates of hell are opened, and the houris beautify themselves and come forth. Then, when someone advances towards battle, they say, "O Allah, make him steadfast!" And when he retreats, they say, "O Allah, forgive him, O Allah, have mercy on him." So, they strike the faces of people for your sake, O my father and mother, for when one advances, the first drop of his blood erases his sins as the leaves of a tree shed. Two houris descend to him, wipe away the dust from his face, and say to him, "We belong to you." He is then clothed in a hundred robes, which, if it were to be cut in half, could cover the distance between his index and middle finger. It is not woven by the offspring of Adam, but rather from the apparel of Paradise. Indeed, you are written with Allah in your names, appearances, adornments, intimate thoughts, and gatherings. So, on the Day of Resurrection, it will be said, "O so-and-so, this is your light." And to another, "You have no light." And indeed, Hell has a bank like the bank of the sea, filled with serpents, creatures like palm trees, and scorpions like mules. When the people of Hell seek relief, they will be told, "Go to the bank." They will come out, and the serpents will grab their lips and faces. Then, Allah will unveil them and they will seek refuge by escaping from it to the Fire. Then, scabies will be unleashed upon them, causing a person's skin to peel until their bones are exposed. One of them will ask, "O so-and-so, does this hurt you?" He will answer, "Yes." Then it will be said, "This is because of how you used to harm the believers."
