KISAH NABI MUHAMMAD SAW - Tragedi Ar Raji’, sebuah Tipuan

Pada bulan Shafar tahun 4 Hijriah, datanglan utusan dari Adhal dan Al Qarah untuk menemui Nabi Muhammad di Madinah. Mereka berkata kepada beliau, “Wahai Rasulullah, sesungguhnya di kalangan kami ada beberapa orang yang telah masuk Islam. Oleh karena itu, kami meminta agar Anda bersedia mengutus beberapa orang sahabatmu untuk mengajarkan agama, membaca Al Qur’an, dan mengajarkan syariat Islam kepada kami”.

Nabi Muhammad bersedia melakukannya dan mengutus enam orang sahabat yang juga untuk menemani perjalanan pulang utusan Adhal dan Al Qarah ke tempat asal mereka. Keenam orang sahabat tersebut adalah Martsad bin Abu Martsad Al Ghanawi, Khalid bin Bukair Al Laitsi, Ashim bin Tsabit, Khubaib bin Adi, Zaid bin Ad Datsinah, dan Abdullah bin Thariq. Nabi Muhammad menunjuk Martsad bin Abu Martsad sebagai pemimpin rombongan keenam orang sahabat tersebut. Lalu keenam orang sahabat Nabi dan utusan Adhal dan Al Qarah berangkat bersama-sama.

Saat mereka sampai di Ar Raji’, nama sebuah mata air Hudzail dari arah Hijaz, tiba-tiba utusan Adhal dan Al Qarah melakukan pengkhianatan kepada keenam sahabat Nabi dan berteriak meminta bantuan kepada orang-orang Hudzail. Utusan Adhal dan Al Qarah berkata kepada keenam sahabat Nabi, “Demi Allah, kami tidak berniat membunuh kalian. Kami hanya ingin mendapatkan sesuatu dari orang-orang Quraisy dengan menahan kalian. Kalian berhak atas janji Allah bahwa kami tidak akan membunuh kalian walaupun hanya seorang”. Martsad bin Abu Martsad, Khalid bin Al Bukair, dan Ashim bin Tsabit berkata, “Demi Allah, kami tidak menerima janji atau kesepakatan dari orang-orang musyrik untuk selamanya”.

Maka ketiga orang tersebut melawan orang-orang Hudzail hingga terbunuh. Menurut Ibnu Ishaq, saat Ashim bin Tsabit terbunuh, orang-orang Hudzail hendak mengambil kepalanya untuk dijual kepada Sulafah binti Sa’ad bin Syahid. Sebelumnya, Sulafah bernazar setelah kedua anaknya tewas di perang Uhud, bahwa jika dia dapat mengambil kepala Ashim bin Tsabit, dia akan menyiramkan minuman keras ke tulang tengkoraknya. Namun keinginannya dihalangi oleh lebah-lebah yang berkerumun yang menghalau orang-orang Hudzail hingga tidak bisa mendekati jasad Ashim bin Tsabit. Mereka berkata, “Biarkan lebah-lebah tersebut hingga petang hari. Jika lebah-lebah itu sudah pergi, kita ambil jasadnya”. Namun terjadi banjir besar yang menghanyutkan jasad Ashim. Sebelumnya Ashim bersumpah bahwa dia tidak akan pernah mau disentuh oleh tangan-tangan musyrik dan ia tidak menyentuhnya selama-lamanya karena orang musyrik adalah najis.

Sedangkan Zaid bin Ad Datsinah, Khubaib bin Adi, dan Abdullah bin Thariq merasa tidak mampu berbuat apa-apa sehingga menyerahkan diri dan dijadikan tawanan oleh orang-orang Hudzail. Lalu orang-orang Hudzail membawa ketiganya ke Mekkah untuk dijual di sana. Saat mereka sampai di Dahran, masih dalam perjalanan, tiba-tiba Abdullah bin Thariq berusaha melepaskan diri dan mengambil pedang. Namun orang-orang Hudzail tidak membiarkannya begitu saja dan menghantamnya dengan batu hingga dia meninggal. Maka kuburan Abdullah bin Thariq kini berada di Dahran. Sedangkan orang-orang Hudzail meneruskan perjalanan ke kota Mekkah dengan tetap membawa Khubaib bin Adi dan Zaid bin Ad Datsinah. Orang-orang Hudzail menawarkan keduanya kepada orang-orang Quraisy agar ditukar dengan dua tawanan orang-orang Hudzail di Mekkah.

Khubaib bin Adi dibeli oleh Abu Ihab At Tamimi. Dia sengaja membelinya untuk dibunuh sebagai balas dendam atas kematian ayahnya. Khubaib bin Adi diseret oleh orang-orang Quraisy hingga ke luar Mekkah yaitu di Ta’nim dan dia akan disalib. Khubaib berkata kepada mereka, “Bisakah aku shalat dua rakaat terlebih dahulu sebelum membunuhku?”. Mereka berkata, “Silakan”. Lalu Khubaib mengerjakan sholat dua rakaat dengan baik dan sempurna. Setelah itu, Khubaib menemui mereka dan berkata, “Demi Allah, jika kalian tidak akan mengira bahwa aku takut mati dengan mengulur waktu sholatku, maka aku mengulurnya”.

Kemudian orang-orang Quraisy mengangkatnya ke atas kayu. Saat mereka telah mengikatnya, Khubaib berkata, “Ya Allah, sesungguhnya risalah Nabi-Mu telah kami sampaikan. Maka sampaikan pada beliau apa yang mereka lakukan terhadapku esok hari. Ya Allah, pastikan jumlah mereka, musnahkanlah mereka secara terpisah, dan jangan biarkan satu orang pun dari mereka yang selamat”.

Abu Sufyan berkata kepadanya, “Sukakah engkau jika Muhammad sekarang berada di sisi kami dan kami tebas lehernya sedangkan kamu bersama keluargamu”.

Khubaib menjawab, “Demi Allah, sungguh aku tidak rela jika aku bersama keluargaku, sedangkan Muhammad berada di tempatnya terkena duri yang menyakitinya”.

Lalu Khubaib dibunuh.

Sedangkan Zaid bin Ad Datsinah dibeli oleh Shafwan bin Umayyah untuk dibunuh sebagai balas dendam atas kematian ayahnya, Umayyah bin Khalaf. Shafwan menyuruh budaknya yang bernama Nisthas untuk membawa Zaid bin Ad Datsinah bersama orang-orang Quraisy ke suatu tempat dan Zaid dibunuh oleh Nisthas.

Keduanya telah gugur sebagai syahid, untuk agama dan untuk Nabi. Dua ruh suci tersebut kembali kepada Tuhannya. Padahal, sebenarnya mereka dapat menyelamatkan diri dari pembunuhan itu jika mereka mau meninggalkan agama Islam. Namun keyakinan mereka kepada Allah SWT dan hari akhir, keyakinan bahwa setiap jiwa akan mendapatkan balasan sesuai perbuatannya, mereka yakin bahwa tujuan hidup yang paling baik adalah demi akidah, demi iman, dan demi kebenaran. Mereka yakin bahwa darah mereka yang tumpah ke bumi adalah suatu proses agar kaum muslimin mampu memasuki kota Mekkah sebagai pihak yang menang dan mengembalikan kesucian Ka’bah sebagai rumah Allah.

THE STORY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD - Events after the Battle of Uhud: Attacks of Banu Asad and Plans of Attack of Khalid ibn Sufyan Al Hudhali

After the Uhud war that made the Muslims feel sadness, they felt that the city of Medina had felt strange and there were still enemies who were chasing them. The defeat of the Muslims made their authority decline, no longer respected, and felt pressure from various parties. So they were always on standby and had a chance to confront Abu Sufyan's group from the polytheists of Quraysh who would return to Medina to finish off the remaining Muslims. But the fighting did not occur because Abu Sufyan's group felt they did not dare to face the more zealous Muslims.

The Muslims saw the situation of Medina which had undergone many changes and Prophet Muhammad remained in power in the city of Medina. However, Jews and hypocrites began to bravely oppose the Prophet Muhammad openly. At that time, the situation became increasingly precarious, not only in the city of Medina, even the other Arab tribes who felt frightened against Muslim rule. The defeat of the Muslim forces at Uhud made the Arab tribes want to oppose Muslim rule and hold resistance. Muslims as if they were considered helpless. So Prophet Muhammad tried to keep up with the news around the inhabitants of Medina and the Arabs, so that the Muslims gained position, strength, and honor back as before. Prophet Muhammad was always wise in determining the direction of life of the Muslims.

The first news that arrived at Rasulullah after the Battle of Uhud was about two brothers namely Tulaiha and Salama ibn Khuwailid, both leaders of Banu Asad at that time, were gathering strength with the community and those who obeyed to both of them to attack Medina and invade the Muslims to in homes to obtain property and seize the livestock of the Muslims who are in the fields around the city of Medina. They did this preparation two months after the battle of Uhud. They dared to plan this because they thought that Rasulullah and the Muslims were still suffering from losing at the Battle of Uhud.

After Rasulullah knew of this evil plan, he immediately summoned Abu Salama ibn Abdul Asad to lead an army of 150 person from Muhajirins and Ansars, including Abu Ubaida ibn Al Jarrah, Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqash, and Usaid ibn Hudhair. They were ordered to walk at night and hide during the day through a road that was not commonly used by people, so that their movements and traces were unknown to the enemy. That way they can attack suddenly and ambush the enemy. Abu Salama carried out this task well. His troops managed to attack the enemy in an unprepared state. The enemy forces have been besieged at very early morning. Enemies are no longer able to survive. Two troops were immediately deployed to chase them and seize the existing spoils of war. Abu Salama and other troops waited for the troops to be sent along with the spoils they were carrying. In this way, one of the enemies has been defeated.

Then the spoils were taken one-fifth in advance for God, Rasulullah, the poor, and the travelers (essentially, one-fifth of this part was for struggle and almsgiving in the Islamic religion). The other part was shared by their fellow men, then they returned to Medina with victory. The honor that faded somewhat because of the defeat at Uhud, at that time had begun to return again. But Abu Salama did not live long after the expedition. He suffered injuries that were not completely healed because of the war of Uhud. He continued to carry out the Prophet's instructions earnestly so that his wounds were open and bleeding again. Finally, the wound he suffered caused him to die.

Then after that, in Muharram in the year 4 of the Hijrah, Rasulullah also received news again that Khalid ibn Sufyan ibn Nubaih Al Hudhali who lived in Nakhla or in 'Urana had gathered people to attack Rasulullah. So Rasulullah ordered Abdullah ibn Unais to research and check the truth of the news. Abdullah walked to the place where Khalid was at home with his wives. He arrived there in the last week of Muharram. Khalid who saw Abdullah's arrival asked, "Who are you?" Abdullah replied, "I am from the Arab group too. I heard that you wanted to gather people to attack Muhammad, so I came here ".

Khalid told the truth that he was indeed gathering people to invade Medina. Abdullah had already confirmed that Khalid was not with his subordinates, except only with his wives. So Abdullah sought a way for Khalid to be invited along. When Abdullah got the chance, he hit Khalid with his sword until Khalid was killed. His wives were gathering in tears. Then Abdullah returned to Medina and delivered the news to Rasulullah. That said, Rasulullah gave Abdullah a stick for his success in killing Khalid. He said, "This is the sign of my relationship with you until the Day of Judgment". It was reported that when Abdullah met his death, he had ordered that the stick be with his body.

These are the efforts of Rasulullah to ward off any threats that approach the Muslims. This is done so that the Muslims are still able to maintain authority and show their strength. These threats can endanger the Muslims and the spread of Islam if left unchecked. The aim of Rasulullah in the struggle so far was to spread the religion of Islam and tell that God is the Almighty God and only He is worthy of worship. This goal may not be blocked by anyone and anything. So anyone who opposes the oneness of God must be exterminated.
