URasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) Ebopha ITurban (isigqoke esinendwango) Ekhanda likaHazrat Abdur Rahmaan bin Auf (radhiyallahu ‘anhu)

Ukuqokwa kukaHazrat Abdur Rahmaan bin Auf (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) nguRasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) njengomholi webutho eliya eDumatul Jandal

Ngonyaka wesithupha ngemuva kweHijrah, ngenyanga kaSha’baan, uRasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) wakhuluma noHazrat Abdur Rahmaan bin Auf (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) wathi kuye, “Lungiselela uhambo, njengoba ngizokuthumela ohambweni lwezempi, kungaba namuhla noma kusasa, uma uAllah ethanda (Insha Allah).”

Ngakusasa ekuseni, lapho uHazrat Abdur Rahmaan bin Auf (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) eza phambi kukaRasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), wayegqoke isigqoko sendwangu (i-turban) esimnyama. URasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) wayikhulula leyo ndwangu wayiphinda ayibophe ekhanda lakhe, kusele ingxenye yayo ilenga ngemuva emhlane. Ubude bale ngxenye elengayo babulinganiselwa kububanzi beminwe emine. URasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) wabe esethi kuye: “O Ibnu Auf, yile ndlela okufanele ugqoke ngayo le ndwangu, ngoba yindlela yama-Arabhu futhi ingcono.”

URasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) waqoka uHazrat Abdur Rahmaan bin Auf (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) njengomholi webutho, ngakho wayala uHazrat Bilaal (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) ukuba anikele ifulegi kuye. URasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) wabe esedumisa uAllah Ta’ala, wathumela izibusiso kuye uqobo, wathi:

“O Ibnu Auf, thatha ifulegi, uhambe endleleni kaAllah nebutho. Yilwa nalabo bantu abangakholwa kuAllah Ta’ala. Ungantshontshi empahleni ethathwe empini, ungaphuli izithembiso zakho (ozenza nesitha), ungalimazi noma ulimaze imizimba yezitha ngendlela engeyona, futhi ungabulali izingane. Lo ngumyalo kaAllah Ta’ala kanye nendlela yoMprofethi wakhe (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) efike kuwe.”

Ngemva kwalokho, uRasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) wamthumela endleleni ka-Allah Ta’ala nebutho lamadoda angamakhulu ayisikhombisa ukuba baye esizweni sakwa-Kalb, esasiyohlala endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi iDumat al-Jandal. URasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) wabe esemnika lesi seluleko esilandelayo: “Uma abantu baleyo ndawo bemukela (i-Islam), kufanele ushade nendodakazi yomholi wabo.”

Ngakho-ke uHazrat Abdur Rahmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) wahamba nebutho lakhe waze wafika kubantu baseDumat al-Jandal. Wahlala lapho izinsuku ezintathu, ebamema ukuba bamukele i-Islam. Ngosuku lwesithathu, umholi waseDumat al-Jandal, u-Asbagh, owayengumKristu, wamukela i-Islam. Abantu abaningi besizwe sakhe nabo bamukela i-Islam. Labo abakhetha ukungayamukeli i-Islam bavuma ukukhokha i-jizyah.

UHazrat Abdur Rahmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) wabe esebhalela uRasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) incwadi emazisa ngalesi simo futhi eqinisekisa ukuthi kufanele ashade nendodakazi yomholi wabo. URasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) waphendula encwadini yakhe ethi kufanele aqhubeke ashade nendodakazi yomholi, u-Asbagh. UHazrat Abdur Rahmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) washada kanjalo nendodakazi yakhe igama layo kwakunguTumaadhir (radhiyallahu ‘anha).
