GUIDANCE TOWARDS TRUTH 7

The Evidence That

The One Who Kills Himself Is

Not Considered A Disbeliever

It was narrated from Jâbir that At-

Tufail bin 'Amr Ad-Dawsee came

to the Prophet and said: "0

Messenger of Allah, do you need

strong, fortified protection?" -

referring to a fortress that had belonged to Daws

during the Jâhili)yah.

The Prophet refused that because Allah had

already granted that (the role of protecting the Prophet)

to the Ansâr. When the Prophet emigrated to Al-Madinah,

At-Tufail bin 'Amr emigrated to join him, and another man  

From among his people emigrated with him, but the climate

of Al-Madinah did not suit them and he fell sick.

He was unhappy, so he took an iron arrowhead and

cut his finger joints, and his hands bled until he died.

At-Tufail bin 'Amr saw him in his dream, looking good but

with his hands bandaged. He said to him:

"What did your Lord do with you?"

He said: "He forgave me because I had emigrated to join

His Prophet PBUH." He said: "Why

do I see your hands bandaged?"

He said: "It was said to me: 'We will not set right anything of

yours that you damaged yourself."

At-Tufail told this dream to the Messenger of Allah

it and the Messenger of Allah  said:

"0 Allah, forgive his hands too."

The Sacred Legal Way of The Prophet.
