There was a hypocrite named Bishor. He involved in a dispute with a land with some Jew. The Jew
said to him, ‘Let us go to Muhammad for the settlement.’
But Bishor was not
agreed with this proposal. He said, ‘No, but we have to go Kab ibn Ashraf.’
This Kab was one of
the leaders of Jews and a difficult enemy of Muslims and Muhammad. Therefore,
externally this subject was too surprising that the Jew likes the settlement of
Muhammad instead his own leader, but Bishor, who himself known as Muslims
interested for the settlement of the Jews Leader instead of Muhammad. Though the Jew and
Bishor both knew that what Muhammad will settle will be right- no doubt of bias
to someone. But as the Jew was based on justice, so he has much faith on
Muhammad rather than his own leader. On the other hand, Bishor was on unjust,
so he knew clearly that the settlement of Muhammad will go against him though
he is a Muslim.
They went to Kab. And
hearing all, his proposal goes in favour of the Jew. But Bishor rejects the
settlement. And after a long quarrel they decided to resolve the issue through
Muhammad.
They came to
Muhammad. And Muhammad searches the details of the case. It was proved through
the evidence that the Jew is right. So he refused Bishor and ordered on the
behalf of Jew.
Bishor was unwilling
to accept this settlement. So he proposed a new proposal to the Jew. He said,
‘Let us go to Omar ibn Khattab. Surely I will agree to the settlement what he proposes.’
It was Bishors
assumption that as Omar was too difficult to the disbelievers, so he will not
on the Jewish side of his business.
They two came to the
door of Omar. He was in his home. After describing the whole event the Jew said
at the end, ‘Rasulallah also judge this case, but this man not agreed with
that. So we come to you.’
Omar said, ‘O Bishor
is that true?’
Bishor admitted. Then
Omar said to them, ‘Wait a bit, I am coming soon.’
Omar enter into his
home very quickly and came out with a open sword in his hand. Seeing this,
faces of the two became pale. Omar said, ‘The person, who is not willing to
accept the judge of the messenger of Allah, his judgement will be this.’ With
one hit of the sword, Omar makes Bishor into two pieces.
When this event disclosed
to Medina, the Jews rebuked the Muslims. They said, ‘What type of Muslim you
are, to whom you respect as the messenger of Allah and claim yourself as his
follower, yet you do not accept his settlement. On the other hand, look at
us, when we ordered to kill each other to remove our sins, we obey that type of
difficult order. And thus our 70 (seventy) men get killed. Now we see, if such an order imposed on you, surely you will turn away.’
Hearing this, a
Muslim commented, ‘That state may for the case of hypocrites, not for the true
Muslims. And by God, we did not encounter any serious examination.’
The relatives of
Bishor filed a case against Omar in the court of Muhammad. Their saying
were-‘Omar killed a Muslim without any documents accomplished by Shariah. And
killing a Muslim is a serious crime.’
Besides this, to
prove Bishor as a pure Muslim, they submit a lots explanation of his words and
deeds.
Muhammad too
dissatisfied with the settlement of Omar. He said, ‘I did not think that Omar
ever dare to murder any devotee Muslim.’
Then Allah revel the
real significance of the event and cleaned Omar from the charge of Murder. Qur’an
says- But the hypocrites say, "We have
believed in Allah and in the Messenger, and we obey"; then a party of them
turns away after that. And those are not believers. And when they are called to
(the words of) Allah and His Messenger to judge between them, at once a party
of them turns aside (in refusal). But if the right is theirs, they come to him
in prompt obedience. Is there disease in their hearts? Or have they doubted? Or
do they fear that Allah will be unjust to them, or His Messenger? Rather, it is
they who are the wrongdoers. The only statement of the (true) believers when they
are called to Allah and His Messenger to judge between them is that they say,
"We hear and we obey." And those are the successful.(24:47-51)
O you
who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority
among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the
Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best (way)
and best in result. Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what
was revealed to you and what was revealed before you? They wish to refer
legislation to Taghut, while they were commanded to reject it; and Satan wishes
to lead them far astray. And when it is said to them, "Come to what Allah
has revealed and to the Messenger," you see the hypocrites turning away
from you in aversion. So how (will it be) when disaster strikes them because of
what their hands have put forth and then they come to you swearing by Allah,
"We intended nothing but good conduct and accommodation."
Those
are the ones of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts, so turn away from
them but admonish them and speak to them a far-reaching word. And We did not
send any messenger except to be obeyed by permission of Allah. And if, when
they wronged themselves, they had come to you and asked forgiveness of Allah
and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah
Accepting of repentance and Merciful. But no, by your Lord, they will not (truly)
believe until they make you judge concerning that over which they dispute among
themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have
judged and submit in (full, willing) submission. And if We had decreed upon
them, "Kill yourselves" or "Leave your homes," they would
not have done it, except for a few of them. But if they had done what they were
instructed, it would have been better for them and a firmer position (for them
in faith). And then We would have given them from Us a great reward. And We
would have guided them to a straight path.(4:59-68)
End.
