The Rank of Ḥamzah B.ʿAbd Al-Muṭṭalib رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ
person whom We gave the benefit of the life of this world to enjoy; and he will then be brought as captive on the Day of Resurrection?[1]
This verse informs us of two types of people: one who has been promised Paradise by Allah and will certainly reach it, and another who has been given worldly wealth, yet on the Day of Judgement will be apprehended and brought forth. Can these two be equal? They can never be the same. The commentators of the Quran explain:
This verse was also revealed regarding Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ and Abū Jahl. The person that has been mentioned in this verse as having received the promise of Paradise from Allah, is Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. As for Abū Jahl, he was given worldly wealth but will be brought forth on the Day of Judgement as a captive.[2]
The Lion of Allah and His Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
As found in the book al-MuꜤjam al-Kabīr, the final Prophet of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “By He Who has power over my soul! Indeed, it is written on the seventh sky, حَمْزَةُ بْن عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَسَدُ اللهِ وَأَسَدُ رَسُوْلِهِ - Ḥamzah, son of ꜤAbd al-Muṭṭalib, is the lion of Allah and the lion of His Messenger.”[3]
Sayyidunā Ḥamzah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ reclining in Paradise
The Companion ꜤAbd Allah bin ꜤAbbās رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا narrates, the final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “I entered Paradise at night and saw Ḥamzah with his friends.”[4]
