رسالة الرسول لكسري ملك الفرس The Messenger's letter to Khosrow, King of Persia

رسالة الرسول صلي الله عليه وسلم لكسرى، ملك الفرس - إيران حاليًا -

نبذة عن رسول رسول الله (عبد الله بن حذافة السهمي)

وقيل أنه شهد بدرًا،واشتهر رضي الله عنه بدعابته بين الصحابة، وكان من الذين هاجروا إلى الحبشة، وقد أرسله النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم برسالة إلى كسرى، وكانت وفاته في خلافة عثمان بن عفان رضي الله عنهما.

وصل إلى بلاد فارس واستأذن بالدخول بعد أن أبلغ حاشية الملك بالرسالة التي يحملها

 أذن كسرى، ملك الفرس، لعبد الله بالدخول ودعا أشراف فارس لحضور المجلس. دخل عبد الله على الملك ببساطته البدوية، يرتدي عباءة أنيقة، لكنه كان طويل القامة، ويبدو عليه عزة الإيمان ونبل الإسلام ، دعا ملك الفرس أحد أهل الحيرة ليقرأ عليه الكتاب، فبدأ يقرأ: "بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم، من محمد رسول الله، إلى كسرى عظيم فارس، السلام على من اتبع الهدى..." فلما سمع كسرى هذا القدر من الرسالة؛ فغضب لأن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم هو الذي بدأ، فسحب الكتاب بقوة ومزقه وهو لا يدري ما فيه

 ثم أمر عبد الله بن حذافة بالخروج من المجلس

 فخرج ابن حذافة من المجلس وهو لا يدري ما يفعل به، فهل يقتل أم يطلق سراحه، ولكنه سرعان ما قال في نفسه: "والله ما أبالي كيف أكون بعد أن أقضي كتاب رسول الله"، ثم ركب دابته وانصرف، فلما هدأ كسرى أمر بإحضاره، فلم يجد له رجاله أثراً في أي مكان، ورجع بن حذافة إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فأخبره بما حدث مع ككسرى

 فقال النبي: "مزق الله ملكه"

 وكتب كسرى إلى نائبه على اليمن يأمره أن يبعث رجلين إلى هذا الرجل بالحجاز، يعني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ليحضراه إليه، فوصل الرجلان المرسلان إلى الطائف، وهناك سألا عن النبي، فعلما أنه في يثرب. فاستمروا حتى وصلا إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فأخبروه برسالة كسرى إليه ليخرج معهم لئلا يهلك

 فتبسم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وقال:

 "ارجعوا إلى رحالكم اليوم، وعودوا غدًا". في اليوم التالي، ذهب الرجلان إلى الرسول، ثم قالا: "هل جهزت نفسك للذهاب معنا للقاء كسرى؟" قال لهما الرسول: "لن تلقا كسرى بعد اليوم، فقد قتله الله، وقد تولى ابنه أمره في ليلة كذا وكذا في شهر كذا". دهش الرجلان وذهبا إلى مبعوث اليمن ليخبراه بما يقوله رسول الله بعد أن تأكد من قوله. فلما علم مبعوث اليمن (باذان) بالأمر، قال: "إن كان ما قاله محمد حقًا فهو نبي، وإن لم يكن كذلك، فسنرى رأيًا فيه". ثم سرعان ما علم بمقتل كسرى على يد ابنه شيرويه، فأعلن باذان (أمير اليمن) إسلامه والفرس الذين كانوا معه في اليمن (مبعوثان كسري لرسول الله).

بعض الناس لا يخافون شيئًا حقًا. إن فهم السبب يكشف كيف نتعامل نحن مع الإرهاب: نحن نحترم الخوف. إنهم مرتاحون للاعتراف بخوفهم، ويبالغون في الاستعداد دون... المبالغة في رد الفعل. لا يُضيّع الشجعان وقتهم في القلق بشأن أسوأ الاحتمالات، بل يُجهّزون لها. يضعون خطةً ويُعدّون خطةً بديلةً. يُبالغون في استعدادهم دون مبالغة في رد الفعل، أو هوس، أو تفكير مُعمّق. وغيرهم بالطبع.

1- لم يكن محمداً صلي الله عليه وسلم إلا رسول قد خلت من قبله الرسل، اي انه لم يكن إله، لماذا؟ لأنه لم يعلم بموقف كسري كيف سوف يكون، لكن ما أعلمه الله به (مقتله علي يد ابن شرويه) هو ما قاله كنبي مرسل وليس إله يعبد. 

2 - هناك من الملوك متكبرين حقا، وأغلب الملوك كذلك إلا نخبة قليلة فقهت أن التواضع مع العظمة: عظمة، وكان كسري من المتكبرين، والمتكبر له فاقة في الدنيا تكسره كما حاول كسر قلوب من حوله بالتكبر، فكسره اعز الناس (ابنه) ليسلب ملكه وقد كان. 

3- من جمال القرآن الكريم أن اخبرنا بقوله تعالي (لا تقولن لشيء إني فاعل ذلك غدا ) فقد قرر كسري بعدته وعتاده أن يأتي بمحمدا صلي الله عليه وسلم، ولم يكن ذلك يحدث ابدا، لس بسبب موته فحسب ولكن أن الله يحفظ رسالته حتي منتهاها عن طريق رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم. 

4- كان عبد الله بن حذافة رضي الله عنه الذي أُرسل إلي كسري عظيم الفرس: من صفاته التي اشتُهر بها بين الصحابة حبه للفكاهة، فكان يداعب الصحابة بالفكاهات، من قال أن الإسلام: تجهم وجه وثوب يصل إلي الكعبين فقط؟ 

5- لم يبالي عبد الله بن حذافة ما سوف يحدث له بعد تمزيق كتاب رسول الله ورؤيته العيان لغضب كسري، وبالتأكيد كان يتحدث بلغة غير العربية ، وهذا أدعي للخوف ومع ذلك تمالك نفسه بشجاعة فذة ورجوعه غير ملتفت لما وراءه ليري ماذا سيصنعون به ، ونجا، إن الشجاعة لا تقطع رزقاً ولا تنهي أجلاً. 

The Messenger's Letter (peace and blessings be upon him) to Khosrow, King of Persia (present-day Iran)

A Brief History of the Messenger of God (Abdullah ibn Hudhafah al-Sahmi)

It is said that he witnessed the Battle of Badr and was known among the Companions (may God be pleased with him) for his humor. He was among those who migrated to Abyssinia. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him with a letter to Khosrow. He died during the caliphate of Uthman ibn Affan (may God be pleased with them both).

He arrived in Persia and asked for permission to enter after informing the king's entourage of the message he carried

Khosrau, the Persian king, gave Abdullah permission to enter and invited the Persian nobles to attend the council. Abdullah entered the king's presence in his Bedouin simplicity, wearing an elegant cloak. However, he was tall and showed the pride of his faith and the nobility of Islam. The Persian king invited one of the people of Al-Hirah to read the letter to him. He began reading:

Khosrau, the king of Persia, gave Abdullah permission to enter and invited the nobles of Persia to attend the council. Abdullah entered the council with his Bedouin simplicity, wearing an elegant cloak, but he was tall, and he looked proud of his faith and the nobility of Islam.

 The king of Persia called one of the people of Al-Hirah to read the letter to him

 He began to read: “In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, From Muhammad, the Messenger of God, to Khosrau, the Great King of Persia. Peace be upon he who follows guidance…” When Khosrau heard this part of the message; He became angry because the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) had initiated the matter. He forcefully pulled the letter and tore it up, not knowing what it contained, 

Then he ordered Abdullah ibn Hudhafah to leave the gathering

Ibn Hudhafah left the gathering, not knowing what would happen to him—whether to kill him or set him free. But he quickly said to himself, "By God, I don't care how I will be after I fulfill the Messenger of God's letter." He then mounted his mount and departed. When Khosrau had calmed down, he ordered him to be brought in, but his men found no trace of him anywhere. Ibn Hudhafah returned to the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him what had happened with Khosrau.

The Prophet said, "May God tear his kingdom apart."

Khosrau wrote to his deputy in Yemen, ordering him to send two men to this man in the Hijaz—meaning the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him)—to bring Him to him. The two men arrived in Ta'if, where they inquired about the Prophet and learned that he was in Yathrib. They continued until they reached the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him). They informed him of Khosrau's message to him to come out with them so that he would not perish.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said

"Return to your homes today, and come back tomorrow." The next day, the two men went to the Prophet and said, "Are you ready to go with us to meet Khosrau?" The Prophet told them, "You will not meet Khosrau after today. God has killed him, and his son has taken over his affairs on such-and-such a night in such-and-such a month." The two men were astonished and went to the envoy of Yemen to tell him what the Messenger of God had said after he had confirmed it. When the envoy of Yemen (Bazan) learned of the matter, he said, "If what Muhammad said is true, then he is a prophet. If not, we will consider his opinion." Soon after, he learned of Khosrau's murder at the hands of his son Shiruyeh. Badzan (the Prince of Yemen) and the Persians who were with him in Yemen (Khosrau's envoys to the Prophet of God) declared their Islam.

We learn from the story below

Read this part of the psychological study.

Some people truly fear nothing. Understanding why reveals how we deal with terrorism: We respect fear. They are comfortable admitting their fear, and they over-prepare without overreacting. Brave people don't waste time worrying about the worst-case scenario; they prepare for it. They make a plan and a backup plan. They over-prepare without overreacting, obsessing, or overthinking. And others, of course.

1- Muhammad (peace be upon him) was only a messenger, and there were messengers before him. That is, he was not a God. Why? Because he did not know what Khosrow's situation would be like, but when God informed him of (his murder at the hands of his son, Sharruyeh) was what he said as a prophet, not as a God to be worshipped.

2 - Some kings are truly arrogant, and most kings are, except for a select few who understood that humility, along with greatness, is greatness. Khosrow was one of the arrogant ones. An arrogant person is humbled by worldly needs that break him, just as he tried to break the hearts of those around him with arrogance. His most precious person (his son) broke him, stripping him of his kingdom, and so he did.

3 - One of the beauties of the Holy Quran is that it tells us in the verse, "Do not say of anything, 'I will do that tomorrow.'" Khosrow had decided, with all his equipment and resources, to bring Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). This would never have happened, not only because of his death, but also because God preserves His message until its completion through the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him).

4 - Abdullah ibn Hudhafah (may God be pleased with him), who was sent to Khosrow the Great of Persia, was known among the Companions for his love of humor. He would tease the Companions with humor. Who said that Islam is a scowling face and a garment that only reaches the ankles?

5- Abdullah bin Hudhafah did not care about what would happen to him after tearing up the letter of the Messenger of God and seeing with his own eyes the anger of Kisra. He was certainly speaking a language other than Arabic, and this made him more afraid. However, he controlled himself with exceptional courage and returned without looking back to see what they would do to him, and he was saved. Courage does not cut off sustenance or end one’s life.
