Hadhrat Hanzalah (Radhiyallaho Anho) is martyred - Suhail - 07-21-2003
Hadhrat Hanzalah (Radhiyallaho Anho) is martyred.
When the battle of Uhud started, Hadhrat Hanzalah (Radhiyallaho Anho) had just been wedded and therefore did not join the battle from the beginning. It is said that he had just left the bed of his wife and had hardly started taking his bath, when he heard somebody breaking the news about the defeat. He postponed the bath and, with sword in hand, rushed towards the battlefield. He jumped into the enemy concentration, fighting and penetrating till he was killed.
The body of a person killed in the path of Allah is not washed, unless a bath has been incumbent on him before his passing away. Not knowing his failure to take the bath incumbent on him, the Sahabah buried him without a wash.
Just before his burial, the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe Wasallam) said, "I see the angels washing Hanzalah's body."
Hadhrat Abu Saeed Saadi (Radhiyallaho Anho) says, "On hearing this from the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe Wasallam), I went to have a look at Hanzalah's face and I noticed drops of water trickling down his hair."
When the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe Wasallam) returned to Madinah, he made queries and the facts of Hadhrat Hanzalah's (Radhiyallaho Anho) postponing his bath came to light.

This again shows the valor of those people. A brave person cannot tolerate any delay and jumps into the jaws of death. Hadhrat Hanzalah (Radhiyallaho Anho) also could not wait to finish the bath incumbent on him.

ASsalmaulakum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatahu
Suhail, wonderful story, tragic but yet it strenthens my iman. May Allah SWT permit this great man into the gardens of heaven. He didn't waste a moment to think about material things and jumped into the melee for Allah SWT. Alhumdulliah.
