INJUNCTIONS OF THE HOLY PROPHET(Sal
Allaho Alehe Wasallam) TO 'AMR BIN MURRA JUHANI
In the name Of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
This writing is from Allah, the Sublime, the Great. He disclosed
what is right through His Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) and gave him an
eloquent Book. 'Amr Bin Murra shall have complete authority over his land. He
may graze his cattle, wherever he likes and may water them, provided he keeps
paying the fixed Zakat in respect of his cattle. There is no Zakat on draught
cattle.
Allah and all the Muslims testify this agreement.
Note: Amar Bin Murra belonged to Juhaina tribe and owned some
land. He had gone to perform Hajj, when one night he saw in a dream, above Kaba
a glare which clearly showed the mountains of Medinah and Juhaina. He also
heard somebody say "Darkness has gone and light has appeared. The last of
the Prophets has come; Islam has appeared. Their idols have been shattered and
the period of friendship and love has begun." He woke much perturbed.
After sometime he came to know of the Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam)
and went to him. The Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wasallam) informed him of
his prophethood and told him that Islam prohibited unlawful murder, rioting and
idolatry and enjoined on them to keep fasts for a month in a year. He further
affirmed that the person who accepted these injunctions, would go to paradise
and who refused to do so would go to Hell. Amr immediately embraced Islam and
asked for permission to go to his tribe and preach Islam to them. The people of
his tribe except one, embraced Islam. On his return, the Holy Prophet (Sal
Allaho Alehe Wasallam) gave the above injunctions for the people of his tribe.
