The Duel –
Before the fighting at the Battle of Badr commenced, three non-Muslims challenged three Muslims to single combat. Ali Ibn Abu Talib, Hamza Ibn Abdul Mutalib and Ubaidah Bin Harith, may Allah be pleased with them, took part in this duel against three non-Muslim leaders. Ali and Hamza, may Allah be pleased with them, quickly overcame their opponents and killed them. Ubaidah, may Allah be pleased with him, mortally wounded his opponent but was also mortally wounded himself. When he was carried to the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, the latter confirmed that he was a martyr. Before he died, Ubaidah, may Allah be pleased with him, commented that the following poem said by Abu Talib, the uncle of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was more applicable to him: “We shall protect him (i.e. the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) until we are wounded and fall dead around him. Being totally oblivious of our own children and wives.” This has been discussed in Imam Muhammad Kandhlawi’s, Hayatus Sahabah, Volume 1, Pages 500-501 and in Imam Safi Ur Rahman’s, The Sealed Nectar, Page 219.
In this regard, Allah, the Exalted, revealed chapter 22 Al Hajj, verse 19:
“Theseare two adversaries who have disputed over their Lord. But those who disbelieved will have cut out for them garments of fire. Poured upon their heads will be scalding water.”
This has been discussed in a Hadith found in Sunan Ibn Majah, Number 2835.
This event indicates the importance of supporting one’s claim of loving and respecting Allah, the Exalted, and His Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, with actions. Verbal declaration of love and respect while failing to sincerely act on the life and teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, has no value in Islam, as actions are the proof required to achieve success in both worlds. Chapter 3 Alee Imran, verse 31:
“Say, [Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him], “If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins…””
It is important to remember that even the previous nations claim to loving their Holy Prophets, peace be upon them, but it is obvious they will not join them in the hereafter, as they did not practically follow them in this world. Therefore, the one who fails to practically follow the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, by acting on his teachings will not join him in the hereafter, even if they claim they love and respect him.
