A touching story of a Sahabee - Julay'beeb رضي الله عنهم.
::
It is narrated in the Books of History that Julay'beeb رضي الله عنهم was a Sahabeeb who was:
short in height
deformed in appearance
his lineage was not known
no one knew who his parents had been
with no clan to protect him
no tribe willing to accept him as their own
he cut a lonely figure even the small children of Madinah would tease & mock him
owing to his disabilities no one would allow him to sit in their company.
He survived as best he could, many a lonely night in Madinah he spent wondering the streets in despair, tears of desperation would run down his cheeks, there was no one willing to offer him love or compassion, he had no family & not a single friend in the world.
Life for him was a lonely struggle.
After the arrival of the Prophet of Allaah ﷺ to Madinah, the fortunes of Julay'beeb رضي الله عنهم changed.
He would go & sit in the company of the Prophet ﷺ & listen intently, rarely speaking; he would out of shyness keep his gaze lowered.
He now, had the best of friends in the Prophet of Allaah ﷺ; those days of loneliness & despair were over for the Best of creation ﷺ had arrived.
Julay'beeb رضي الله عنهم was now a part of community of believers.
One day as he was sitting in the Company of the Prophet ﷺ, The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ asked him: "O Julay'beeb رضي الله عنهم ask for something, is there anything you desire."
He raised his head slowly & said in a shy voice;
"O Messenger of Allaah ﷺ, Allaah has blessed me with your companionship, I get to sit at your blessed feet & hear your blessed words, what more could I desire".
The Prophet of Allaah ﷺ asked: "How would you like to get married my dear Julay'beeb رضي الله عنهم," He smiled shyly wondering who would want to marry him.
"Yes messenger of Allaah ﷺ I would like that."
The Prophet of Allaah ﷺ went to the house of a prominent & noble Sahabee from amongst the Ansar.
He said "I have come to ask for your daughters hand in marriage".
The Sahabee was overjoyed he said: "O Messenger of Allaah ﷺ what could be a greater blessing than this."
The Prophet ﷺ said: "I do not ask of her for myself It is for Julay'beeb رضي الله عنهم that I am asking."
The Sahabee was left stunned: "For Julay'beeb?" he asked in bewilderment. "Yes for Julay'beeb رضي الله عنهم" replied The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ.
He said: "Let me consult with my wife." He went & told her. "The Prophet of Allaah ﷺ has asked for your daughters hand in marriage, for Julay'beeb رضي الله عنهم."
She started crying & wailing: "No not Julay'beeb anyone but Julay'beeb رضي الله عنهم I will never allow this."
Upon hearing the commotion the daughter arrived.
