Template:جعبه اطلاعات شخصیت Hujr ibn Adi ibn Mu'awiyah ibn Jabalah al-Kindi al-Kufi His kunya was Abu Abd al-Rahman, known as Hujr al-Khayr, a companion of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny) and among the special companions and Shi'as of Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him) and one of the nobles and elites of Kufa. In the Battle of the Camel, Battle of Siffin, and Battle of Nahrawan, he was counted among the commanders of Ali's army. "Hujr" engaged in defending Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) and criticizing Mu'awiyah, which ultimately led to his martyrdom alongside a number of his companions in the Marj Adhra' region by his order.

Who is Hujr ibn Adi

His name and lineage is Abu Abd al-Rahman Hujr ibn Adi al-Adbar[1] Mu'awiyah ibn Kindah[2] al-Kindi al-Kufi, known as Hujr al-Khayr[3].

He was born in the Kindah tribe before Islam and along with his brother Hani ibn Adi, he had the honor of meeting the Noble Messenger of Islam (peace be upon him and his progeny) and became Muslims. Nothing is mentioned in history and biography books regarding the birth and time of conversion of this honorable Companion[4].

Hujr ibn Adi Kindi was one of the prominent figures of the Islamic world and among the special lovers of the Family of the Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his progeny); descriptions have been narrated for him in historical and biography books that indicate the greatness and magnitude of this glorious Companion. He was a pious ascetic and a worshipping mujahid, and the story of his one thousand Prayer rakats per day and night is famous among biographers and historians[5]. Ibn Abd al-Barr writes: Hujr ibn Adi, despite his young age, was counted among the elders and virtuous Companions of the Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his progeny)[6]. It is written in Usd al-Ghabah, Hujr ibn Adi received 2500 dirhams as stipend[7]. Fadl ibn Shadhan considers him among the heads of the ascetics[8]. He has been counted among the Abdal[9].

In the Battle of Jamal he was with Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and in the Battle of Siffin he was the commander of the Kindah tribe and in Nahrawan he undertook the command of the right wing of Imam Ali's (peace be upon him) army, he held a very honorable position and was a brave and courageous man, especially since he smoothed over all kinds of hardship, annoyance and calamity for himself in the way of Religion and feared no danger or blame in this path and ultimately in the year 51 AH by the order of Mu'awiyah in Marj Adhra'a, which had been conquered by his own hand, he was martyred[10]. Hujr was a man whose supplications were answered, such that it is narrated on the way to Syria during Ablution and Prayer he had no water, he asked the guards for water but they refused, Hujr turned to Supplication suddenly a cloud appeared from which water was pouring[11]. Hakim Nishaburi has mentioned him with the title of Monk of the Companions of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny)[12].

The personality of Hujr ibn Adi is so brilliant that after his martyrdom by the direct order of Mu'awiyah, the elders of the Companions and the wives of the Prophet blamed him for this reason[13] and finally Mu'awiyah at the end of his life said many times: "What do I have to do with Hujr" and he repeated this sentence constantly[14] and finally this honorable personality in addition to conversation and meeting with the Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his progeny) also possessed the virtue of Jihad in the way of God and the true religion and support of Wilayah[15].

Abu Ma'shar says: Hujr was a worshipper who did not break ablution unless he performed ablution and after every Ablution he read Prayer and also he did not spill water unless he performed ablution and read prayer[16]. In order for his mother to rest comfortably in bed, before his mother he would touch the bed and sometimes he would sleep on it himself so that nothing would harm his mother's body[17]. One day a family came to Ziyad and complained about an individual who killed one of us, the guardians of the killer said: Of course the killed is Nabati and the killer is Arab and no Arab is subject to Qisas for a Nabati!! Ziyad said: Of course pay his Blood Money. The relatives of the killed said: We have no need for Blood Money we thought all people are equal! Hujr ibn Adi stood up and said: With this ruling and speech you have suspended the Book of God and the Sunnah of His Messenger. As long as I have life I will wield the sword until I die and Islam becomes dear. I swear by God I will not rest until the knife is placed under the killer's throat[18].

Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) in a reproachful letter to Mu'awiyah writes:

"Are you not the killer of Hujr ibn Adi my brother from Kindah and his righteous, obedient, worshipping companions, they denied oppression and considered innovation and bid'ah great and preferred the ruling of the Book and did not fear the blame of any blamer in the way of God and you killed them with oppression and aggression. ..."

Are you not the killer and murderer of Hujr ibn Adi and his righteous, obedient and worshipping companions, those who were anti-oppression and considered the denial of innovation great and upheld the ruling of the Book of God and feared no blame of any blamer in the way of God and you killed them with oppression and hostility and..[19].

Zuhayr ibn Qayn on the day of Ashura when he observed that the speeches of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) had no effect on the soldiers of Umar Sa'd, he asked permission from the Imam (peace be upon him) to advise as well so he stood in front of the army and said: O people of Kufa we invite you to help the Family of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) and for the destruction and humiliation of oppressors and tyrants such as Ubaydallah ibn Ziyad we invite you, nothing will befall you from Yazid and Ubaydallah except evil and disgrace, the background of their government is killing and crime and rectifying, these are the ones who killed your elders and leaders individuals such as Hujr ibn Adi and his companions and. .. sent them to the mouth of death[20].

Ubaydallah ibn Hurr Ju'fi was from the Uthmanis of Kufa, he went to Syria and along with them after the peace of Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) returned to Kufa, when Ziyad captured Hujr ibn Adi and ten of his companions he wished if he had ten companions he would save them from the hands of Ziyad ibn Abih's officers[21].

Ibn Shahr Ashub when naming the companions of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (peace be upon him) writes: From the special and special companions of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) and Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) is Hujr ibn Adi[22].

Hujr ibn Adi in the Presence of the Prophet

Hujr ibn Adi, along with his brother Hani ibn Adi, had the honor of attending the presence of the Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his progeny) and converted to Islam at his hands, but there is no information available about his activities during the era of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny). Some sources have written that he participated in the Battle of Yarmouk, and we know that the preparations for this battle were made in the last days of the blessed life of the Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his progeny), and the Messenger of God (peace be upon him and his progeny) prepared an army under the command of Usama ibn Zayd outside Medina ready to move towards the border of Rome, but due to the obstruction and false excuses of some famous Companions, the movement of this army was delayed, and after the heartbreaking demise of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny), by the order of Abu Bakr, the aforementioned army moved to carry out its mission. Thus, the only matter obtained from sources regarding Hujr ibn Adi in the era of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) is his presence in Usama's army. Of course, a narration that Al-Hakim al-Nishaburi has transmitted from Hujr indicates that Hujr was on a Hajj journey along with the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny)[23].


Date of Martyrdom

Finally, this tireless mujahid, lover of Wilayah and fidai of Imamate, reached his long-standing wish through the deceit of schemers and world-seekers, and his blessed head was separated from his body in Sha'ban of the year 51 AH[24].


Repercussions of Hujr ibn Adi's Martyrdom

The killing of Hujr caused strange distress among Muslims, and not only friends and Shi'as became upset, but even those who opposed Ali (peace be upon him) expressed disgust and disapproval at Hujr's killing; among them Al-Hasan al-Basri, when he heard that Hujr was killed, asked: Did they pray over him, shroud him, bury him, and lay him towards the Qibla? It was said yes, all these instructions were carried out, he said: By the God of the Kaaba, they condemned themselves[25]. In the same year that Hujr was killed, Mu'awiyah went to Hajj, met Sayyid al-Shuhada (peace be upon him), and said: Do you know what I did with Hujr and his companions and your father's friends? The Imam (peace be upon him) said: What did you do? He said: We killed them, performed ghusl on them, prayed over them, and buried them. The Imam (peace be upon him) said: You made them your enemy, but Mu'awiyah, if I kill one of your companions, I will neither wash him, nor pray over him, nor shroud him, nor bury him (meaning they are infidels and you considered these as Muslims and killed them)[26].

Aisha, who heard the story of Hujr, sent Abd al-Rahman ibn Harith to Mu'awiyah to prevent the killing of Hujr, but when Abd al-Rahman arrived, Hujr had been killed. Abd al-Rahman said to Mu'awiyah: What happened to the clemency and forbearance of Abu Sufyan? Mu'awiyah said: Since forbearing and clement individuals like you were scattered from my side, I lost my clemency, and this matter was imposed on me greatly and I accepted it[27].

Aisha always said: If it were not that whatever I pursued became worse than before and its corruption became greater than its benefit, I would certainly pursue the killing of Hujr, because what I knew of Hujr was that he was a man who performed much Hajj and Umrah[28].

Abdullah ibn Umar was in the middle of the market when he heard the news of Hujr's killing, he threw his turban from his head and fell to the ground, when he stood up he was crying loudly[29].

Rabi' ibn Ziyad al-Harithi, who was the governor of Khurasan on behalf of Mu'awiyah, when he heard that Hujr was martyred, raised his hands in prayer and said: O God, if Rabi' has a status near You, take his soul; he did not move from his place and passed away[30].

Mu'awiyah also regretted killing Hujr and blamed himself severely; even at the time of death he repeatedly said: "Yawmi minka ya Hujr yawm tawil"; My day of judgment with you, O Hujr, will be a long and hard day[31].

One day Mu'awiyah's wife saw that Mu'awiyah lengthened his prayer, she addressed him and said: O Commander of the Faithful, what a good prayer you prayed, of course if you had not put Hujr and his companions to death[32].
