THE FEARLESS COMPANION
BARAH, SON OF MALIK
Hadhrat Barah was the son of Malik, and brother to Anas. His mother
was the courageous lady Umm Sulaim who nursed the wounded at
Uhud. May Allah be please with them and give them a generous
reward.
Anas, reported that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, told
his companions, “There are many people wearing two old pieces of
cloth, that go unnoticed but indeed Allah will fulfill their supplication if
they make any amongst such people is Barah, the son of Malik.”
Our narration takes place when Haroun, better known as Musailama,
chieftain of the Christian tribe of Hanifa laid claim to the prophethood.
Many of his tribe had recently embraced Islam, however, it became
apparent that all was not well amongst the tribe when Musailamah
sent a letter to Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him,
that falsely proclaimed he too was a prophet.
