 Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari Radoanullahi ta'ala alayh is one of the most outstanding and brilliant companions of the holy prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa alihi wa sallam A man who was praised by the prophet of Islam in the Ahl al-Bayt And truly a unique individual who lived all the way until the time of the fifth holy imam Imam Muhammad al-Baqir sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Jabir ibn Abdullah was very knowledgeable He was devout towards the holy prophet and the Ahl al-Bayt He was a champion of the wilaya of Ali Muhammad And of course, he was an individual who reminded people about the excellence of the Ahl al-Bayt Peace and blessings be upon them He was a man who would continuously praise and speak about the merits of the family of the holy prophet We have a beautiful narration from sheikh al-Tusi He talks about the narration from Imam al-Sadiq al-Salam From Imam Ali ibn al-Hussain, Zayn al-Abideen al-Salam Who narrates and says that on one occasion I was walking behind my father Imam al-Hussain And my uncle Imam al-Hasan, peace and blessings be upon them And this was in Medina It was the year that Imam al-Hasan al-Salam was martyred He says all of a sudden we saw Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari And Anas ibn Malik approach But Jabir did something that caught our attention He went down on the ground and started to kiss the feet of Imam al-Hussain and Imam al-Hasan Peace and blessings be upon them Of course Jabir was not a young man at that time He was a man who had taken part in the battles with the holy prophet He was a senior companion of Rasulullah And Anas ibn Malik was surprised by this demonstration of love and loyalty that Jabir had towards the blessed grandsons of the holy prophet And so when the Imam al-Salam went away Imam Zayn al-Abideen said I remained to hear the conversation between Jabir and Anas And Jabir would explain why he did what he did He would say to Anas One day I was with the prophet of Islam He asked me, oh Jabir bring me my sons Hassan and Hussain And he was so close to them, so attached to them So I went to bring them And when I found them, I carried one and I held the other And I swapped them around, Jabir says And so when I reached the holy prophet He saw me doing this And then he was delighted, he was joyful And so he asked me, oh Jabir do you love them Do you express your gentleness and kindness towards them He says, why should I not and I know how much they mean to you Ya Rasulullah So the prophet of Islam responds to Jabir And says, let me tell you this, when Allah SWT created me He placed my existence as a notfa As a small clot so to speak And he placed it, which is pure in the loins of my father Adam And this kept going from one loin to the other of the prophets Until the time of Abdul Muttalib Then it split to two One of it was in the loins of my father Abdullah And another was with Abu Talib He says, and then I was born And I am the final of the messengers and the prophets Ali Ibn Abi Talib was born And so he is the greatest of the Ossiya, the vice-chairman Then this particular notfa combined from me and Ali And indeed these two, Hasan and Hussain were born They are my progeny And indeed he looked at then Imam Hussain AS And would say that from him there would be a man who would be born Who would fill the earth with justice and equity As it has been filled with evil and vice He says That victory be for whoever loves them Loves their father, loves their mother Loves the one who stands against them And fights them Of course, Jabir Ibn Abdullah Al-Ansari According to narrations was the first of the righteous believers To perform the Ziyara of the blessed grave of Sayyid Al-Shuhada About Abdullah Al-Hussain AS And this was of course famously On the 40th after the martyrdom of Imam Hussain The 20th of Safar According to most narrations in the year 61 after Hijrah This narration is told by his servant And his servant would come forward and say Atiyah that I bought my master, Jabir Ibn Abdullah Who by that time had become blind And when I bought him to the land of Karbala He performed the ghusul from the river of Forat And thereafter I saw that he was in the state of grief and mourning And he asked me take me to the grave of my beloved Hussain I held his hands and the moment we reached on the grave He threw himself on the grave and began to kiss it And began to weep until he became unconscious After he regained his consciousness He began to recite the Ziyara The wonderful lines which expressed his deep connection His wonderful loyalty with Imam Al-Hussain AS His desire to abbeen with the Imam Peace and blessings be upon him That moment Jabir recited Ya Hussain, Ya Hussain, Ya Hussain He called the beautiful name of Sayyid al-Shahadat three times And then he famously said Habibun la yujibu Habiba That a beloved is not responding back to the one who loves him Then he says how can you answer back When your neck has been what severed And your head separated from your body And that your lips has been stabbed But I bear witness You are I bear witness, the son of the prophets You are the son of the master of the believers You are the one who established piety and taqwa And the fifth from the people of the cloak And then he wonderfully mentions The wonderful lines that should be reflected upon And then he famously says Towards the companions Peace be upon you I bear witness that these individuals were buried with Imam Al-Hussain Established their prayers They gave the zakat, they enjoyed the good and forbid the evil And then he says Part of what that wonderful lines by Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansali Next to the grave of Hussain ibn Ali Was that I swear by the one who sent the message towards the Holy Prophet We gained the reward of what you did But Atiyah said I looked at Jabir and said How is it that we gained the reward that they have attained Where we have not come and fought with them We have not struck anyone with the sword And we have not indeed given our lives Jabir said Atiyah I had my beloved Rasulullah says Man ahabba qawman hushira ma'ahum Wa man ahabba amal qawmin ushrika fee amalihim Whomsoever loves the actions of a group of people They get the reward of those people And whomsoever loves a group of people Will be resurrected with them Peace and blessings be upon Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansali The right cheers of the Sahaba of the Holy Prophet And the Ahlul Bayt and all of Shohadah i-Karbala
