Dear Islamic bothers! On the 11th of Jumadal Oola, the Urs of a fortunate businessman from the Quraysh and a noble companion from the Asharah Mubasharah, Sayyiduna Talhah Bin Ubaydullah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ is commemorated. Let’s listen to some aspects of his blessed life.
Brief introduction to Sayyiduna Talhah Bin Ubaydullah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ
Sayyiduna ‘Allamah Badr-ud-Deen ‘Ayni رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه mentions his lineage as follows in Sharh Sunan Abu Dawood: Sayyiduna Talhah Bin Ubaydullah Bin Usman Qarashi Taymi Madani رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. His patronymic is Abu Muhammad. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم referred to him with the titles ‘طَلْحَۃُالْخَیْر’, ‘طَلْحَۃُ الْفَیَّاض’ and ‘طَلْحۃُ الْجُوْد’. (Mu’jam Kabeer, vol. 1, p. 112, Hadees 197)
He would express generosity in abundance. (Fayz-ul-Qadeer, Harf-e-Taa’, under the Hadees 5274, vol. 4, p. 357)
He was a resident of Makkah Mukarramah. He was from the tribe of Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, Banu Taym. He also has a genealogical relation with the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Just like Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, his lineage meets the lineage of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم seven generations above (at Sayyiduna Ka’b Bin Murrah). (Hazrat Talhah Bin Ubaydullah, p. 9, summarised)
He displayed his bravery and courage in many battles. Eventually, during the battle of Jamal on the 11th of Jumadal Ukhra 36AH (Thursday), Marwan Bin Hakam struck an arrow in his leg which severely severed his artery. Whenever the artery was closed, the leg would become swollen and if it was
