The tomb of the noble companion Abdullah bin Rawaha, may Allah be pleased with him
The noble companion Abdullah bin Rawaha, from the Khazraj tribe, was a companion who fought in the Battle of Badr, a poet, and a military leader. He was one of the early converts to Islam from the Ansar and one of the twelve leaders of the Ansar on the night of Al Aqaba. He participated in the Battle of Badr and all the battles thereafter until he was martyred at Mutah. Sayidna (our master) Abdullah bin Rawaha was one of the scribes of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Bin Saad said: "He used to write for the Prophet (peace be upon him), and it was he who brought the good news of the victory at Badr to Medina. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also sent him, along with thirty riders, to the Jewish captive Asir bin Rafram in Khaybar, and he killed him. He was also sent after the conquest of Khaybar to oversee them." He (RA) was one of the poets who defended the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) with his poetry. He was martyred at Mutah in the 8th year of Hijra, and he was the commander of the Muslims against the Romans and their allies, the Ghassanids. The Prophet (peace be upon him) made him a brother to Al Miqdad bin Amro. He witnessed the Battle of Badr and was sent by the Prophet after the battle to deliver the good news of victory to the tribes of Bani Amro bin Awf, Khutma, and Wail from the Ansar. He also participated in the battles of Uhud, the Trench (Khandaq), Khaybar, and the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah. He was present with the Prophet (peace be upon him) during the Umrah of Al Qada, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) appointed him as the leader that day. He said, "Disembark and stir up the camels for us," and he recited: "O Lord, if it weren't for You, we would not have been guided, Nor would we have given charity, nor would we have prayed. So send tranquility upon us, And make our feet firm if we meet the enemy. Indeed, the disbelievers have transgressed against us, And if they desire fitnah, we refuse." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his family chose Abdullah bin Rawaha to be the third leader of the Muslims in the al Sham army, who faced an army of 200,000 fighters from the Rum and Ghassanids in the Levant. The Muslim army, consisting of 3,000 men, camped near Maan. He was the third commander of the army after the martyrdom of our master Zaid bin Harithah, then our master Jafar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and then he was martyred; may Allah be pleased with them all. Sayidna (our master) Abdullah bin Rawaha is buried in the area of Mutah in southern Jordan, and there is a shrine dedicated to him in the Mazar area.
