1. The Mawla of a People is One of them
Rifa'a ibn Rafi' reported that the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said to 'Umar, "Gather your
people [the Muhajirun] for me." He did so. When they reached the door of
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 'Umar came to him and
said, "I have gathered my people for you." The Ansar heard that and
said, "Revelation has been revealed about Quraysh." People came to
see and hear what would be said to them [the Muhajirun].
The Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, came out and stood in
the midst of them. He
said, "Are there those among you who are not of you?" They replied,
"Yes, there are those among us with whom we have made treaties as well as
our nephews and our mawlas." The Prophet said, "Our ally is one of
us. Our nephew is one of us. Our mawla is one of us." You who are
listening: our friends among you are those who have taqwa of Allah. If you are
one of them, then that is good. If that is not the case, then look out. People
will bring their actions on the Day of Rising and you will come with burdens
and you will be shunned.
" Then he called out, "O people!" He
raised his hands and put them on the heads of Quraysh. "O people! Quraysh
are the people of trustworthiness. If anyone who oppresses them (and one of the
transmitters thought that he said, 'faults them'), Allah will overturn
him." He repeated that three times.
