Lives of Sahaba 71 - Jubayr and Mut'im Ibn 'Adi

In this video by Shaykh Yasir Qadhi, we are acquainted with two more Sahaba - Jubayr and Mut'im Ibn 'Adi - their life and times. Mut`im ibn `Adi was the chieftain of the banu Naufal tribe and was not a Muslim but he possessed worldly traits that can be described as good virtues. He was in fact even talked about with praise by the Prophet ﷺ.  There are many reasons for this. Firstly, he supported Islam and ensured that he did not prove to be a hindrance in its progression. Secondly, he proved essential to avert or put an end to the Makkan boycott of the Hashemites. Thirdly, he was a staunch supporter of the Prophet ﷺ and ensured his return to Taif even though the Prophet ﷺ had been banished by Abu Lahab from coming back.  He died before the Battle of Badr past the age of 90. The son of Mut'im Ibn ‘Adi was Jubayr Ibn Mut'im RA and was renowned for his knowledge of genealogy after Abu Bakr RA. he was also the owner of Wahshi ibn Harb who was the slave who killed Hamza ibn 'Abdul Muttalib RA. Jubayr RA adopted Islam somewhere between the Second Treaty of Hudaibiyah and the conquest of Makkah. He had two sons-Nafi' ibn Jubayr and Muhammad ibn Jubayr . There are a few Hadith that have been narrated by Jubayr RA and some are listed as below: Narrated Jubayr ibn Mut'im, "I heard the Prophet ﷺ reciting Surah-at-Tur in Maghrib prayer, and that was at a time when belief was first planted in my heart." Another narration by Jubayr RA, "The Prophet ﷺ while speaking about the war prisoners of Badr, said, "Were Al-Mut'im bin Adi alive and interceded with me for these filthy people, I would certainly forgive them for his sake." Narrated by Jubayr RA, "The Prophet ﷺ said: “The one who severs the ties with the relatives will not be among the first to enter Paradise. Rather, this person will enter it after being tortured in Hellfire.” Narrated by Jubayr RA, "The  Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: May Allah brighten a man who hears a tradition from us, gets it by heart and passes it on to others. Many a bearer of knowledge conveys it to one who is more versed than he is; and many a bearer of knowledge is not versed in it. Narrated Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut'im from his father (Jubayr RA)who said, "The moon was split during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until it became as two sections, one above this mountain and one above that mountain. ' Some of them said: 'If he could cast a spell upon us, he can not cast a spell upon all of the people.'
