ماذا حدث عندما جاء الناس إلى المدينة ليتعلموا؟
بعد انتشار الإسلام جاءت وفود من قبائل كثيرة إلى المدينة لتتعلم وتسأل. ويذكر القرآن أن الناس دخلوا في دين الله أفواجًا.
المسجد كان مكانًا للعبادة والتعلم والاستقبال. لم تكن المعرفة حكرًا على أهل المدينة؛ بل كانت رسالة تصل إلى من يريد أن يفهم.
جاءت وفود إلى المدينة لتتعلم الإسلام.
كيف تستقبل شخصًا جاء ليتعلم معك؟
شارك معلومة صحيحة تعلمتها مع شخص أصغر منك بلطف.
لو حدّاك أحد في شيء تجيده، تردّ عليه إزاي من غير ما تجرحه؟
المصادر: القرآن الكريم: سورة النصر 110:2.؛ تفاصيل وفد بني تميم في كتب السيرة.
In the ninth year Madinah was receiving delegations from every tribe in Arabia — it became known as the Year of Delegations. The delegation of Banu Tamim came wanting a contest of poetry and oratory, so the Prophet ﷺ had Thabit ibn Qays speak and Hassan ibn Thabit recite. Both did well, and the Tamimis said: his orator is better than ours, and his poet is better than ours.
A good word wins hearts better than out-boasting anyone.
Once the state was settled and the roads were safe, the tribes of Arabia understood that the matter had held, and their delegations began arriving in Madinah from every direction to learn the religion and make agreements — so the ninth year was called the Year of Delegations. Among the best known was the delegation of Banu Tamim, a people proud of their poetry and oratory, who came looking for a contest. The Prophet ﷺ neither turned them away nor silenced them: he met poetry with poetry and speech with speech. He had Thabit ibn Qays give the address, and Hassan ibn Thabit recite the verse. When they finished, the spokesman of Banu Tamim said a line people repeated afterwards: his orator is better than ours, and his poet is better than ours. Then they accepted Islam. The boast was answered by doing it better, not by shutting it down.
Allah says of those years: ﴿وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا﴾ — “and you see people entering the religion of Allah in crowds.”
