Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه Session 36 We observe that the tactics employed by the Muslims were highly flexible, changing as the situation demanded. On the 1st day of battle they fought the elephants first by pelting them with arrows and then cutting off their saddles which made the animals flee.

Another (ie third) innovative technique employed was that the Muslims dressed their camels in cloaks and attached bells to them this made them appear as elephants to the enemy's horses which duly fled in fright.

Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه Session 33 The Predicament of Rustum Mugeerah (ra) invites Rustum the Persian to Islam, he recognises the truth but his people do not, the same predicament as the Roman Emperor Heraclius.

Qadisseyah Against the 20,000 Muslims, the Persians had mobilised a force of around 200,000 men under the leadership of Rustum, one of their most brilliant commanders.

Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه Session 27 42 Scribes, Mugheerah (ra) was one of them. Sa'eed ibn al-Musayyab (rah), Not one day passes except the Prophet's ﷺ Ummah is shown to him morning and evening. He ﷺ knows them by their marks (or names) and their deeds - hereby giving witness concerning them (Ibn Al Mubarak). "...when We bring from every Ummah a witness, and We (hen) bring you ﷺ as a witness against these?" (Surah 4: 41) "Verily, I ﷺ am a "harbinger" for you and (also) a "witness over you (Bukhari). "Harbinger'" means that he ﷺ has gone before us in order to look after our best interests and prepare for what we need (ie when we eventually join him ﷺ). "Witness'" is mentioned as above (ie and he ﷺ thus is now supplicating for us when we fall into sin). Thus SubhaanAllah!

Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه Session 25 The people of scripture refuse the challenge stated in Suarh 3 v61. Hence in conclusion, as the modern phraseology would go, "They were thus nothing but people of pride and hype (Bani Israel and the Christians) -who sadly led many of their sincere followers to the eternal humiliation and damnation. Mugeerah (ra) asks about the Dajaal.

Umar (ra) the one likened to the Prophets (as) Session 2 When the righteous are mentioned, Divine Blessings come down (Tabarani). Umar (ra) should be mentioned first when talking about the righteous (Ahmad). Beautify your gatherings by Durood and speaking about Umar (ra) (Ibn Asaakir). Whoever hates Umar (ra) hates the beloved prophet ﷺ (Tabarani). The sun has not risen over a better man than Umar (ra) (Tirmidhi). Copy the two who come after me ﷺ Abu Bakr and Umar (ra) (Tirmidhi).

Umar (ra) the one likened to the Prophets (as) Session 1 If there was a Prophet after me ﷺ it would have been Umar (ra) (Tirmidhi). The Angels (as) would speak from Umar's (ra) tongue - 4 examples of this. The two mysterious lions that protected Umar (ra) from the assassin (Ibn Asaakir).

However, the hardest day that I ﷺ encountered was on the day of Aqabah when I ﷺ presented myself to Ibn Abd Yaaleel ibn Abd Kilaal (ie the Chieftain of Thaqeef who did not respond positively)... (Bukhari). Jibreel (as) descends to a cloud and speaks with The Messenger ﷺ.

Al-Mugheera Ibn Shu’ba رضي الله عنه Session 22 Brilliant camaraderie as Mugheerah (ra) demolishes Al Laat.
