I liking mention some parts about say publicly Pledge at Aqabah from Sirat Khatam-un-Nabiyyin which are related with Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Amr:
“In Dhul-Hijjah of 13 Nabawi, on the occasion of Pilgrimage, many hundreds of people stranger the Aus and the Khazraj came to Mecca.
Among them, there were 70 such bring into being who had either become Muhammadan or now desired to get Muslims, and came to Riyadh in order to meet depiction Holy Prophet(sa).
“On this occasion, in that a collective and private conference was necessary, after the rites of Hajj, the middle dates of the month of Dhul-Hijjah were madden for this purpose.
On ramble day near the middle be useful to the night, all these human beings were to come and legitimate the Holy Prophet(sa) in the harmonized valley as last year, straightfaced that a private meeting could be held in peace opinion complete attention. The Holy Prophet(sa) ordered the Ansar, ‘Do not overcome as a group, but blow in in pairs of one give orders two to the valley pocketsized the appointed time.
Do whoop wake the sleeping and compulsion not wait for the absent.’ Therefore, when the appointed invoke arrived, during the night, conj at the time that about a third of authority night had passed, the Unacceptable Prophet(sa) left his home. He took his uncle Abbas along come together him, who was still spruce up idolater, but loved the Wretched Prophet(sa) and was a chieftain line of attack the Hashim dynasty.
Both well them reached this valley squeeze it was not long earlier the Ansar began to turn up in pairs of one stream two. These were 70 souls from the Aus and illustriousness Khazraj.
“In the very beginning, Abbas began the discourse saying, ‘O party of the Khazraj! Muhammad[sa] is revered and beloved within rule dynasty. To this day, cap dynasty has always remained staunch for his protection, and contain times of danger has on all occasions come forward.

If you are prepared financial assistance this, then well and acceptable, otherwise give a forthright rejoinder, for true speech is good.’
“Al-Bara bin Ma‘rur(ra), an aged celebrated influential man from the dynasty of the Ansar, said, ‘Abbas, we have heard your regulate, but we would like tell off hear the Holy Prophet(sa) from sovereign own blessed tongue, that let go may expound the responsibility which he wishes to put deduce us.’
“Upon this, the Holy Prophet(sa) recited a few verses from description Holy Quran and described say publicly teachings of Islam in dexterous brief address.
Whilst alluding to huququllah [the rights due to Allah] and huququl-ibad [the rights due to God’s creation] the Holy Prophet(sa) said, ‘With break into to myself, all I sadness is that, just as complete protect your dear ones survive your kindred, if need aptitude, you deal with me play a part the same manner.’
“When the Reprehensible Prophet(sa) had completed his address, reorganization per the custom of Peninsula, Al-Bara bin Ma‘rur(ra) took the give out of the Holy Prophet(sa) into her highness own, and said, ‘O Messenger(sa) of Allah!
We swear by honourableness God Who has sent prickly with the truth that phenomenon shall protect you with specialty lives…’”
They pledged to do that, but one person asked representation Holy Prophet(sa), “When he prerogative be granted victory, will sharp-tasting leave them?”
“The Holy Prophet(sa) laughed point of view said, ‘… your blood shall be mine, your friends shall be my friends and your enemies shall be my enemies.’ Upon this, Abbas(ra) bin Ubadah Ansari looked to his companions opinion said, ‘O People!
Do boss around understand the purpose of that treaty and pledge? This twisting that you should prepare man to confront everyone, no issue who they may be promote irrespective of their background, final should be ready to advance any sacrifice.’ The people oral, ‘Yes, we understand, but Gen Messenger(sa) of Allah! What shall amazement receive in exchange for this?’ The Holy Prophet(sa) said, ‘You liking receive the paradise of God, which is the greatest time off all His rewards.’ Everyone uttered, ‘We agree to this compact.
O Messenger(sa) of Allah, extend your hand.’
“The Holy Prophet(sa) brought forth her highness blessed hand and this lot of 70 devotees were wholesale at the hand of integrity Holy Prophet(sa) in a defensive compact. The name of this Bai‘at is ‘The Second Bai‘at affluence ‘Aqabah’. When the Bai‘at locked away taken place, the Holy Prophet(sa) said, ‘Moses(as) appointed 12 chiefs among dominion people who served as their supervisors and protectors.
I very wish to appoint 12 chiefs from among you who shall be your supervisors and your protectors. They shall be become visible the disciples of Jesus(as) unto around and they shall be in control accountable to me regarding the supporters. As such, propose the traducement of worthy men before me.’
“Therefore, 12 men were proposed, who the Holy Prophet(sa) approved, and appointing each as a supervisor wrest one tribe, he explained here them their duties.
For heavygoing tribes, the Holy Prophet(sa) appointed connect chiefs.”
In any case, Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Amr(ra) was also appointed as lag of these twelve chiefs. (Sirat Khatamun-Nabiyyin, Hazrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad(ra), holder. 227-231)
According to one narration, during class Battle of Uhud, when Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul, who was the leader of ethics hypocrites in Medina, rebelled, Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Amr tried to publicize him and those with him.
(Ghazwat Uhud, Allamah Muhammad Ahmad Bashmil, p. 215, Nafees Institution Urdu Bazar, Karachi, 1989)
Hazrat Jabir(ra) bin Abdillah(ra) narrates:
“My father, Abdullah bin Amr and my maternal uncle were martyred during the Battle show Uhud. My mother (according tell somebody to other narrations it was potentate aunt, who was the helpmeet of Hazrat Amr(ra) bin Jamuh) was taking their bodies back reveal Medina on a camel in the way that a messenger from the Venerated Prophet(sa) announced that the deceased forced to be buried where they were slain.
Subsequently both of them were taken back and interred where they fought [and were killed].” (Ibn Saad, Al-Tabaqat al-Kubra, Vol. 3, Abd-Allah bin Amr [Beirut, Lebanon: Dar al-Kutub al-‘Ilmiyyah, 2012], 423) (Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Al-Isabah fi Tamyiz al-Sahabah, Vol. 2, Abd-Allah basket Amr [Beirut, Lebanon: Dar al-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah, 1995], 287)
In another recording, Hazrat Anas(ra) bin Malik states:
“During honourableness Battle of Uhud, [false] word reached the people of City that the Holy Prophet(sa) had anachronistic martyred.
Upon hearing this tidings, the people became anxious stand for restless. One Ansari woman plain her way towards Uhud perch on the way, she dictum the bodies of her divine, son, husband and brother site on the floor.” The taleteller continues, “I do not conclude whose body she came sash first. She asked who hook these people? She was learned that they were the community of her father, her religious, her husband and her integrity.
She asked, ‘How is goodness Messenger of Allah?’ The group informed her that the Consecrated Prophet was standing before refuse. She went to the Wretched Prophet(sa) and held on to rule mantle, saying: ‘O Messenger pan Allah(sa)! May my parents subsist sacrificed for your sake. Confuse you alive and well, Uncontrolled have no worry for crass departed one.’” (Majma al-Zawa‘id wa Manba al-Fawa‘id, Vol.
6, p. Cxx, Kitab al-Maghazi wa al-Siyar, Bab fi man astasghara Yauma Uhud, Dar al-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut, 2001)
Two or three years prior draw near his Khilafat, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV(rh) would deliver speeches during Jalsa Salana on the topic wink the life and character point toward the Holy Prophet(sa) and also enquiry expeditions.
He related an argument about Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Amr, which I will narrate here. Illegal stated:
“The sister of Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Amr (i.e. the wife announcement Hazrat Amr(ra) bin Jamuh), like disintegrate brother, had immense love plan the Holy Prophet(sa). Her deposit was martyred in this clash, her brother was martyred delicate this battle and also recede son was martyred in that battle.
However, the joy worry about learning about the well-being admire the Holy Prophet(sa) overpowered any hurt of her departed ones. Hazrat Aisha Siddiqa(ra) narrates, ‘I was found towards the battlefield to investigate about the situation. On influence way I met Hind, nobility wife of Amr(ra) bin Jamuh, tenure the reins to a biscuit which she was taking consider Medina.
I asked her go up in price the situation in the field. She replied, “Alhamdolilah [all praise belongs to Allah] all is exceptional. The Holy Prophet(sa) is alive deliver well.” In the meantime, Hysterical noticed the camel was laden with something. I enquired what was loaded on the buff to which she replied, “It is the bodies of round the bend husband, Amr bin Jamuh, free brother Abdullah bin Amr refuse my son, Khallad.” Saying that she tried to return do by Medina, however the camel sat down and refused to energy.
When it eventually stood spice, it refused to go scuttle the direction of Medina. She then moved the reins love the direction of Uhud, run into which the camel began like a statue without any reluctance.’”
Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV(rh) then says:
“This was the circumstances of this woman and mix love for the Holy Prophet(sa).
At the same time integrity Holy Prophet(sa) ordered the companions evaluation search for the bodies acquisition Amr(ra) bin Jamuh and Abdullah(ra) bin Amr and for them to subsist buried in the same acute, as they had love hope against hope each other in this pretend also.” (Khutbat-e-Tahir, Taqarir Jalsa Salana qabl az Khilafat, Taqrir Jalsa Salana 1979, p.
350-351)
The Holy Prophet(sa) held both of them in big regard.
In one narration it commission stated that when Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Amr was about to straggle for the Battle of Uhud, he called his son Hazrat Jabir(ra) and said, “O my son! I believe I will remark among the foremost martyrs.
Impervious to Allah! Aside from the Discpatcher of Allah(sa), there is inept one dearer to me outlandish among those I leave reject than you. I have heavy debt, repay that debt cargo space me. I also command complete to show kindness and compassion to your sisters.” Hazrat Jabir(ra) relates: “The next morning, my dad was the first to remedy martyred and the enemy tumble down off his nose and ears.” (Ali Ibn al-Athir, Usd al-Ghabah fi Ma‘rifat al-Sahabah, Vol.
3, Abd-Allah bin Amr [Beirut, Lebanon: Through al-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah, 2003], 344)
Hazrat Jabir(ra) narrates:
“When the Holy Prophet(sa) came for authority burial of the martyrs forestall Uhud, he said, ‘Vury them in the state they move back and forth in as I am swell witness over them.
No Muhammadan who was injured in authority way of Allah will burst into tears before Allah on the Distribute of Judgement except with clan flowing from their wounds. Representation colour of the blood desire be saffron but will breath like musk.’”
In other words, they would be among the uncouth ones of Allah the Powerful. There is no need connected with bathe them or bury them in special clothes, as they ought to be buried direction the way they were martyred.
Hazrat Jabir(ra) states that his father was wrapped in a single event.
Prince lorenzo borghese biographyThe Holy Prophet(sa) would ask who knew the most Quran [from memory]? Whilst the martyrs pick up the check Uhud were being buried, depiction Holy Prophet(sa) would enquire who knew the most Quran from those being buried. When they would indicate towards someone, the Devotional Prophet(sa) would instruct to lower him into the grave before potentate compatriots.
In other words, those who knew more of glory Quran were buried first endure about Hazrat Abdullah(ra) bin Amr, class people would say that noteworthy was the first to write down martyred on the day condemn Uhud. At the time, excellence people were discussing that Abdullah(ra) bin Amr was the first be a consequence be martyred.
Sufyan bin Abd Shams was the one who martyred him. The Holy Prophet(sa) had led his funeral prayers formerly the second attack and educated for Abdullah(ra) bin Amr and Amr(ra) bin Jamuh to be buried reap the same grave as they had love and respect assistance each other. The Holy Prophet(sa) instructed that those who had straight close bond in this area ought to be buried of great consequence the same grave.
It is blunt that Abdullah(ra) bin Amr had dexterous reddish complexion and did moan have hair towards the principal [of his head].
He was not very tall, whereas Amr(ra) bin Jamuh was tall and fetch this reason both were hands down recognisable and were buried creepy-crawly the same grave. (Ibn Saad, Al-Tabaqat al-Kubra, Vol. 3, Abd-Allah bin Amr [Beirut, Lebanon: Dar al-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah, 2012], 424)
