زلزال المدينة وثبات الصدّيق

ماذا نفعل عندما يصل خبر كبير ومفاجئ؟

لما توفي النبي ﷺ اضطرب الناس في المدينة. دخل أبو بكر رضي الله عنه، ثم خرج إلى الناس وقال: «من كان يعبد محمدًا فإن محمدًا قد مات، ومن كان يعبد الله فإن الله حي لا يموت».

ثم تلا قول الله تعالى: ﴿وما محمد إلا رسول قد خلت من قبله الرسل﴾. كانت كلماته صادقة وهادئة، فأعادت للناس ما يعرفونه: أن العبادة لله، وأن الحق لا يتوقف بوفاة شخص.

عند الصدمة نحتاج إلى الحقيقة والهدوء والرجوع إلى الله.

ثبّت أبو بكر رضي الله عنه الناس بآية من القرآن وكلمة حق.

من الشخص الكبير الذي تطلب منه المساعدة حين تشعر بالارتباك؟

عند خبر يزعجك، لا تنشره بسرعة؛ اسأل كبيرًا موثوقًا وتحقق.

سؤال للتفكير

لما بيحصل خبر صعب، إنت من النوع اللي بيهدأ ولا اللي بيرتبك؟ إزاي تتدرّب؟

Madinah Shakes, and Abu Bakr Holds

The news spread and Madinah was shaken. Umar stood saying: he has not died! Abu Bakr came, uncovered the Prophet's face, kissed it and wept, then went out to the people and said: “Whoever worshipped Muhammad — Muhammad has died. Whoever worships Allah — Allah is Living and does not die.” Then he recited the verse, and it was as if the people had never heard it before that day.

In a crisis, someone is needed who will say the truth calmly.

When the news came out, Madinah was thrown into confusion. Umar ibn al-Khattab — stunned by it — stood telling the people that hypocrites were claiming the Messenger of Allah had died, and that by Allah he had not died but had gone to his Lord as Musa did. Abu Bakr rode in from his home at as-Sunh, spoke to no one, and went in to Aishah. He uncovered the Prophet's face, kissed it, wept, and said: you were good in life and in death. Then he went out while Umar was still speaking, and said: gently, Umar. And then: “Whoever among you worshipped Muhammad — Muhammad has died. Whoever worships Allah — Allah is Living and does not die.” Then he recited: “Muhammad is only a messenger; messengers have passed away before him.” The people said afterwards: by Allah, it was as if the people did not know Allah had revealed that verse until Abu Bakr recited it. And Umar sat down on the ground.

Allah says: ﴿وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ﴾ — “Muhammad is only a messenger; messengers have passed away before him.”
