Isikhundla Esiphakeme SikaHazrat Abu Ubaydah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) Emehlweni kaHazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)

Ngemva kokushona kukaRasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam), ama-Ansaar ayehlangene eSaqeefah Bani Saa’idah (insimu yezithelo yaseBani Saa’idah) ukuze baqoke iKhaleefa (umholi wamaMuslim) phakathi kwabo. Ngaleso sikhathi, uHazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) kanye noHazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) babesendlini kaRasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) futhi babengazi ukuthi kwenzekani. Lapho besendlini, uHazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) kungazelelwe wezwa izwi limemeza livela ngaphandle lithi, “O ndodana kaKhattaab! Phuma (njengoba ngifisa ukuxoxa nawe ngokuthile)!” Nokho, uHazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) waphendula, “Hamba, ngoba ngimatasa manje (ngaleso sikhathi, isidumbu esibusisiwe sikaRasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) sasisendlini yakhe futhi singakangcwatshwa)!”

Izwi labe selithi: “Phuma njengoba kuzovela into enkulu. Ama-Ansaar ahlangene ukuze aqoke umholi phakathi kwabo, ngakho-ke hamba uye kubo ngaphambi kokuba kuvele impikiswano futhi kuqubuke impi phakathi kwakho nabo. Ekuzwa lokhu, uHazrat Abu Bakr kanye no-Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) basuka ngokushesha emzini kaRasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) badlulela eSaqeefah Bani Saa’idah. Endleleni, bahlangana noHazrat Abu Ubaudah bin Jarraah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) naye wahamba nabo. Ngemva kokufinyelela eSaqeefah Bani Sa’eedah, kwalandela ingxoxo ende phakathi kukaHazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) kanye nama-Ansaar. UHazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) wabachazela ukuthi wezwa uRasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) ekhuluma ngokuthi iKhaleefah ingaqokwa kuphela kumaKuraish, futhi njengoba babengewona amaKuraysh, amaKhaleefah angeke aphuma kubo.

UHazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) wabe esethi kuma-Ansaar ebambe izandla zika-Hazrat Umar kanye no-Hazrat Abu Ubaydah (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma), “Ngiyajabula ngokuthi nikhethe noma yimuphi kulaba bantu ababili (ukuba abe ikhaleefa yamaMuslim, ngalokho qoka noma yimuphi kubona enimfisayo).” (Musnad Ahmad #391) Ngaleso sikhathi uHazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) wakhuluma nama-Ansaar wathi: “O bantu bama-Ansaar! Ngokuzwa lokhu, ama-Ansaar athi: “Sicela isiphephelo kuAllah ukuze sime phambi kuka-Abu Bakr!” (Fathul Baari 12/175) Ngemuva kwalokho, uHazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) wabamba isandla sikaHazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) futhi wenza isithembiso sokwethembeka kuye, walandelwa uHazrat Abu Ubaydah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) kwase kuba ama-Ansaar. Ngemuva kwalokho, wonke amanye amaSahaabah nawo enza isifungo sokwethembeka kuHazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu).

Kulesenzakalo, sibona isikhundla esikhulu sikaHazrat Abu Ubaydah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), ukuthi uHazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) waphakamisa ukuthi yena (noma uHazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)) afanele abe iKhaleefah eyokuqala ye-Islam. Kodwa-ke, wonke amaSahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum), kuhlanganise noHazrat Abu Ubaydah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), abasamukelanga lesi siphakamiso, futhi bonke bavumelana ngokuthi alikho iSahaabi elikhulu kunoHazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) futhi uyena ofaneleka kakhulu kwiKhilaafat.
