Julaybib (رضي الله عنه)- 'The Lonesome One'

It is narrated in the Books of History that Julay’beeb was a Sahabī who was:

• short in height

• deformed in appearance

• his lineage was not known

• no one knew who his parents had been

• with no clan to protect him

• no tribe willing to accept him as their own

• he cut a lonely figure even the small children of Madinah would tease & mock him

• owing to his disabilities no one would allow him to sit in their company.

He survived as best he could, many a lonely night in Madinah he spent wondering the streets in despair, tears of desperation would run down his cheeks, there was no one willing to offer him love or compassion, he had no family & not a single friend in the world.

Life for him was a lonely struggle.

After the arrival of the Messneger of Allah ﷺ to Madinah, the fortunes of Julay’beeb changed.

He would go & sit in the company of the Beloved Prophet ﷺ & listen intently, rarely speaking; he would out of shyness keep his gaze lowered.

He now, had the best of friends the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; those days of loneliness & despair were over for the Best of creation ﷺ had arrived.

Julay’beeb رضي الله عنه was now a part of a community of believers.

One day as he was sitting in the Company of the Prophet ﷺ, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him: "O Julay’beeb ask for something, is there anything you desire?" He raised his head slowly & said in a shy voice; "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Allah has blessed me with your companionship, I get to sit at your blessed feet & hear your blessed words, what more could I desire".

The Beloved Prophet of Allah ﷺ asked: "How would you like to get married my dear Julay’beeb?” He smiled shyly wondering who would want to marry him. "Yes Messenger of Allah ﷺ I would like that. "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to the house of a prominent & noble Companion from amongst the Ansar.

He said "I have come to ask for your daughters hand in marriage".

The Companion was overjoyed he said: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ what could be a greater blessing than this." The Prophet ﷺ said: "I do not ask of her for myself It is for Julay’beeb that I am asking." The Companion was left stunned: "For Julay’beeb?” he asked in bewilderment. "Yes for Julay’beeb" replied The Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

He said: "Let me consult with my wife." He went & told her. "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ has asked for your daughters hand in marriage, for Julay’beeb رضي الله عنه. "She started crying & wailing: "No not Julay’beeb anyone but Julay’beeb رضي الله عنه I will never allow this." Upon hearing the commotion the daughter arrived. It is said that she was so beautiful that there was none among the women of the Ansār who could compete with her looks.

She was so shy & modest that perhaps the sky itself had never seen her head uncovered.

She had so much taqwa that she would spend her days & nights in worship. The daughter asked what was happening; she was told that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ wants your hand in marriage for Julay’beeb.

As the Mother continued her crying & wailing the daughter spoke she said: "O my Mother fear Allah think of what you are saying are you turning away the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. 'O my Mother it does not suit a believer to make their own decision once Allah & his Messenger ﷺ have decided on a matter.

Do you think that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ will disgrace us? How blessed is the status of Julay’beeb رضي الله عنه, that Allah & his Messenger ﷺ are asking for your daughters hand on his behalf. Don't you know that the angels themselves envy the dust on the feet of one who is a beloved of Allah & his Prophet ﷺ.

Ask the Prophet ﷺ, to send me Julay’beeb for there is no greater privilege than for me to be blessed by such a husband, Messenger of Allah ﷺ has arrived with such a wonderful gift yet my Mother you cry & wail."

The Mothers heart being filled with remorse said: "Stop my daughter don't say another word indeed I have erred I repent & I repent a 1,000 times over for as of this moment there is no one who I would prefer for you than Julay’beeb رضي الله عنه."

The following day the Nikāh is made.

Uthmān & Ali رضي الله عنهما present Julay’beeb a gift of money to help arrange the feast of Walīmah, & to purchase accommodation.

A short time later on an expedition Julay’beeb was martyred. On the day of the expedition his Father in law, had pleaded with him: "'O Julay’beeb this is just an expedition, it is not a compulsory Jihad, it is Fardh Kifāyah it is a voluntary Jihad, and therefore you are newly married spend some time with your wife."

Julay’beeb, the one who had spent a lifetime in despair had now found a loving wife.

But listen to his response to the Father in laws request He said "'O my father you say a strange thing my Beloved Prophet ﷺ is in the battlefield facing the enemies of Islam & you want me to sit at home with my wife, nay I will sacrifice my blood & my soul rather than see my Prophet ﷺ facing hardship while I sit at home in luxury".

The diminutive Julay’beeb was indeed a strange sight carrying a sword almost the same size as him. The Sahaba stared in wonderment at him the sweet & gentle Julay’beeb was transformed in to a Lion. "Who dare wage war upon my Beloved ﷺ?” He said as he charged into the ranks of the enemy.

After that battle the Messneger of Allah ﷺ, asked the Companions to go & to see if anyone was missing from their families & clans.

Each one returned accounting for all his family members. Then the Messenger ﷺ spoke with tears in his eyes he said: "But I have lost my Beloved Julay’beeb go & find him."

They found his diminutive body lying next to 7 enemies he had slain in the battle.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked for a grave to be dug, as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ held the body of Julay’beeb he said. "O' Allah he is from me & I am From Him", he ﷺ repeated this 3 times. The Companions رضي الله عنهم wept profusely "May our Mothers & Fathers be sacrificed for you O' Julay’beeb, how great is your status."

Thus a Companion who had once lived as an outcast, shunned by the society around him.

He loved Allah & his Messenger ﷺ & reached such a high status. He who was not good looking was blessed with a beautiful wife, he who was poor was blessed by a wealthy wife, he who had no family or status, was blessed by a wife with noble status & lineage he who had lived in loneliness & despair, was loved by Allaah & his Messenger ﷺ.

He had the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "O Allah he is from me & I am from him. "It is said: "That upon his martyrdom, that the sky itself was filled with thousands of angels who had come to participate in his Janazah”.

Julay’beeb رضي الله عنه 'The Lonesome one' had become a beloved of Allah, & his Prophet ﷺ, he was lonely no more. Such is the status of the lovers of the Prophet ﷺ.

As for his wife it is said that there was no widow whose hand was more sought after in marriage than hers.

عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ فِي مَغْزًى لَهُ فَأَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لأَصْحَابِهِ ‏"‏ هَلْ تَفْقِدُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فُلاَنًا وَفُلاَنًا وَفُلاَنًا ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ هَلْ تَفْقِدُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فُلاَنًا وَفُلاَنًا وَفُلاَنًا ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ هَلْ تَفْقِدُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لَكِنِّي أَفْقِدُ جُلَيْبِيبًا فَاطْلُبُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَطُلِبَ فِي الْقَتْلَى فَوَجَدُوهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ سَبْعَةٍ قَدْ قَتَلَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ فَأَتَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ قَتَلَ سَبْعَةً ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ هَذَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ هَذَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى سَاعِدَيْهِ لَيْسَ لَهُ إِلاَّ سَاعِدَا النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فَحُفِرَ لَهُ وَوُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ غَسْلاً ‏.‏

Abu Barza reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) was there in a battlefield that Allah conferred upon him the spoils of war. He said to his Companions:

Is anyone missing amongst you? They said: So and so and so. He again said: Is there anyone missing amongst you? They said: So and so and so. He then said: Is there anyone missing amongst you? They said: No. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: But I am missing Julaibib. They (his Companions) searched him amongst those who had been killed and they found him by the side of seven (dead bodies) whom he had killed and he had been killed (by the oppoments). Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) came there and stood (by his side) and said: He killed seven (persons). Then (his opponents) killed him. He is mine and I am his. He then placed him upon his hands and there was none else to lift but Allah's Apostle (ﷺ). Then the grave was dug for him and he was placed in the grave and no mention is made of a bath.

Kisah Julaibib: Bukti Cinta Rasulullah SAW Tak Pandang Wajah dan Harta

Pejuang Tak Ternama yang Diangkat Derajatnya oleh Nabi Surau.co – Tak semua kisah keteladanan datang dari tokoh-tokoh besar dan populer dalam sejarah Islam. Ada juga kisah dari mereka yang sederhana, bahkan terpinggirkan secara fisik dan sosial. Salah satunya adalah Julaibib, seorang sahabat Rasulullah SAW yang wajahnya tak rupawan, tubuhnya pendek dan bungkuk, kulitnya hitam legam, serta hidup…

Kisah Julaibib: Bukti Cinta Rasulullah SAW Tak Pandang Wajah dan Harta

[ishfaqahmed]

Qur'an 2:186

When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I respond to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: let them also, with a will, listen to My call, and believe in Me: that they may walk in the right way.

Cinta Bersujud di Mihrab Taat | Salim A. Fillah

Julaibib, begitu dia biasa dipanggil. Sebutan ini sendiri mungkin sudah menunjukkan ciri jasmani serta kedudukannya di antara manusia; kerdil dan rendahan.

Julaibib. Nama yang tak biasa dan tak lengkap. Nama ini, tentu bukan dia sendiri yang menghendaki. Tidak pula orangtuanya. Julaibib hadir ke dunia tanpa mengetahui siapa ayah dan yang mana bundanya. Demikian pula orang-orang, semua tak tahu, atau tak mau tahu tentang nasab Julaibib. Tak dikenal pula, termasuk suku apakah dia. Celakanya, bagi masyarakat Yatsrib, tak bernasab dan tak bersuku adalah cacat kemasyarakatan yang tak terampunkan.

Julaibib yang tersisih. Tampilan jasmani dan kesehariannya juga menggenapkan sulitnya manusia berdekat-dekat dengannya. Wajahnya yang jelek terkesan sangar. Pendek. Bungkuk. Hitam. Fakir. Kainnya usang. Pakaiannya lusuh. Kakinya pecah-pecah tak beralas. Tak ada rumah untuk berteduh. Tidur sembarangan berbantalkan tangan, berkasurkan pasir dan kerikil. Tak ada perabotan. Minum hanya dari kolam umum yang diciduk dengan tangkupan telapak. Abu Barzah, seorang pemimpin Bani Aslam, sampai-sampai berkata tentang Julaibib, ”Jangan pernah biarkan Julaibib masuk di antara kalian! Demi Allah jika dia berani begitu, aku akan melakukan hal yang mengerikan padanya!”

Demikianlah Julaibib.

Namun jika Allah berkehendak menurunkan rahmatNya, tak satu makhlukpun bisa menghalangi. Julaibib berbinar menerima hidayah, dan dia selalu berada di shaff terdepan dalam shalat maupun jihad. Meski hampir semua orang tetap memperlakukannya seolah dia tiada, tidak begitu dengan Sang Rasul, Sang rahmat bagi semesta alam. Julaibib yang tinggal di shuffah Masjid Nabawi, suatu hari ditegur oleh Sang Nabi, Shallallaahu ’Alaihi wa Sallam. ”Ya Julaibib”, begitu lembut beliau memanggil, ”Tidakkah engkau menikah?”

”Siapakah orangnya Ya Rasulallah”, kata Julaibib, ”Yang mau menikahkan putrinya dengan diriku ini?”

Julaibib menjawab dengan tetap tersenyum. Tak ada kesan menyesali diri atau menyalahkan takdir Allah pada kata-kata maupun air mukanya. Rasulullah juga tersenyum. Mungkin memang tak ada orangtua yang berkenan pada Julaibib. Tapi hari berikutnya, ketika bertemu dengan Julaibib, Rasulullah menanyakan hal yang sama. ”Wahai Julaibib, tidakkah engkau menikah?” Dan Julaibib menjawab dengan jawaban yang sama. Begitu, begitu, begitu. Tiga kali. Tiga hari berturut-turut.

Dan di hari ketiga itulah, Sang Nabi menggamit lengan Julaibib kemudian membawanya ke salah satu rumah seorang pemimpin Anshar. ”Aku ingin”, kata Rasulullah pada si empunya rumah, ”Menikahkan puteri kalian.”

”Betapa indahnya dan betapa berkahnya”, begitu si wali menjawab berseri-seri, mengira bahwa Sang Nabi lah calon menantunya. ”Ooh.. Ya Rasulallah, ini sungguh akan menjadi cahaya yang menyingkirkan temaram dari rumah kami.”

”Tetapi bukan untukku”, kata Rasulullah. ”Kupinang puteri kalian untuk Julaibib.”

”Julaibib?”,  nyaris terpekik ayah sang gadis.

”Ya. Untuk Julaibib.”

”Ya Rasulullah”, terdengar helaan nafas berat. ”Saya harus meminta pertimbangan isteri saya tentang hal ini.”

”Dengan Julaibib?”, isterinya berseru. ”Bagaimana bisa? Julaibib yang berwajah lecak, tak bernasab, tak berkabilah, tak berpangkat, dan tak berharta? Demi Allah tidak. Tidak akan pernah puteri kita menikah dengan Julaibib. Padahal kita telah menolak berbagai lamaran..”

Perdebatan itu tak berlangsung lama. Sang puteri dari balik tirai berkata anggun. ”Siapakah yang meminta?”

Sang ayah dan sang ibu menjelaskan.

”Apakah kalian hendak menolak permintaan Rasulullah? Demi Allah, kirim aku padanya. Dan demi Allah, karena Rasulullah lah yang meminta, maka tiada akan dia membawa kehancuran dan kerugian bagiku.” Sang gadis shalihah lalu membaca ayat ini;

Dan tidaklah patut bagi lelaki beriman dan perempuan beriman, apabila Allah dan RasulNya telah menetapkan suatu ketetapan, akan ada bagi mereka pilihan lain tentang urusan mereka. Dan barangsiapa mendurhakai Allah dan Rasul-Nya maka sungguhlah dia telah sesat, sesat yang nyata. (QS Al Ahzab [33]: 36)

Dan Sang Nabi dengan tertunduk berdoa untuk sang gadis shalihah, ”Allahumma shubba ‘alaihima khairan shabban.. Wa la taj’al ‘aisyahuma kaddan kadda.. Ya Allah, limpahkanlah kebaikan atas mereka, dalam kelimpahan yang penuh berkah. Janganlah Kau jadikan hidupnya payah dan bermasalah..”

Doa yang indah.

Sungguh kita belajar dari Julaibib untuk tak merutuki diri, untuk tak menyalahkan takdir, untuk menggenapkan pasrah dan taat pada Allah dan RasulNya. Tak mudah menjadi orang seperti Julaibib. Hidup dalam pilihan-pilihan yang sangat terbatas. Kita juga belajar lebih banyak dari gadis yang dipilihkan Rasulullah untuk Julaibib. Belajar agar cinta kita berhenti di titik ketaatan. Meloncati rasa suka dan tak suka. Karena kita tahu, mentaati Allah dalam hal yang tak kita suka adalah peluang bagi gelimang pahala. Karena kita tahu, seringkali ketidaksukaan kita hanyalah terjemah kecil ketidaktahuan. Ia adalah bagian dari kebodohan kita.

Isteri Julaibib mensujudkan cintanya di mihrab taat. Ketika taat, dia tak merisaukan kemampuannya.

Memang pasti, ada batas-batas manusiawi yang terlalu tinggi untuk kita lampaui. Tapi jika kita telah taat kepada Allah, jangan khawatirkan itu lagi. Ia Maha Tahu batas-batas kemampuan diri kita. Ia takkan membebani kita melebihinya. Isteri Julaibib telah taat kepada Allah dan RasulNya. Allah Maha Tahu. Dan Rasulullah telah berdoa. Mari kita ngiangkan kembali doa itu di telinga. ”Ya Allah”, lirih Sang Nabi, ”Limpahkanlah kebaikan atas mereka, dalam kelimpahan yang penuh barakah. Janganlah Kau jadikan hidupnya payah dan bermasalah..”

Alangkah agungnya! Urusan kita sebagai hamba memang taat kepada Allah. Lain tidak! Jika kita bertaqwa padaNya, Allah akan bukakan jalan keluar dari masalah-masalah yang di luar kuasa kita. Urusan kita adalah taat kepada Allah. Lain tidak. Maka sang gadis menyanggupi pernikahan yang nyaris tak pernah diimpikan gadis manapun itu. Juga tak pernah terbayang dalam angannya. Karena ia taat pada Allah dan RasulNya.

Tetapi bagaimanapun ada keterbatasan daya dan upaya pada dirinya. Ada tekanan-tekanan yang terlalu berat bagi seorang wanita. Dan agungnya, meski ketika taat ia tak mempertimbangkan kemampuannya, ia yakin Allah akan bukakan jalan keluar jika ia menabrak dinding karang kesulitan. Ia taat. Ia bertindak tanpa gubris. Ia yakin bahwa pintu kebaikan akan selalu terbuka bagi sesiapa yang mentaatiNya.

Maka benarlah doa Sang Nabi. Maka Allah karuniakan jalan keluar yang indah bagi semuanya. Maka kebersamaan di dunia itu tak ditakdirkan terlalu lama. Meski di dunia sang isteri shalihah dan bertaqwa, tapi bidadari telah terlampau lama merindukannya. Julaibib lebih dihajatkan langit meski tercibir di bumi. Ia lebih pantas menghuni surga daripada dunia yang bersikap tak terlalu bersahabat kepadanya. Adapun isterinya, kata Anas ibn Malik, tak satupun wanita Madinah yang shadaqahnya melampaui dia, hingga kelak para lelaki utama meminangnya.

Saat Julaibib syahid, Sang Nabi begitu kehilangan. Tapi beliau akan mengajarkan sesuatu kepada para shahabatnya. Maka Sang Nabi bertanya di akhir pertempuran, “Apakah kalian kehilangan seseorang?”

“Tidak Ya Rasulallah!”, serempak sekali. Sepertinya Julaibib memang tak beda ada dan tiadanya di kalangan mereka.

“Apakah kalian kehilangan seseorang?”, beliau Shallallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam bertanya lagi. Kali ini wajahnya merah bersemu.

“Tidak Ya Rasullallah!” Kali ini sebagian menjawab dengan was-was dan tak seyakin tadi. Beberapa menengok ke kanan dan ke kiri.

Rasulullah menghela nafasnya. “Tetapi aku kehilangan Julaibib”, kata beliau.

Para shahabat tersadar.

“Carilah Julaibib!”

Maka ditemukanlah dia, Julaibib yang mulia. Terbunuh dengan luka-luka, semua dari arah muka. Di seputaran menjelempah tujuh jasad musuh yang telah dia bunuh.

Sang Rasul, dengan tangannya sendiri mengafani Sang Syahid. Beliau Shallallaahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam menshalatkannya secara pribadi. Ketika kuburnya digali, Rasulullah duduk dan memangku jasad Julaibib, mengalasinya dengan kedua lengan beliau yang mulia. Bahkan pula beliau ikut turun ke lahatnya untuk membaringkan Julaibib. Saat itulah, kalimat Sang Nabi untuk si mayyit akan membuat iri semua makhluq hingga hari berbangkit. “Ya Allah, dia adalah bagian dari diriku. Dan aku adalah bagian dari dirinya.”

Ya. Pada kalimat itu; tidakkah kita cemburu?

sepenuh cinta,
