INJUNCTIONS OF THE HOLY PROPHET(S.A.W.) 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 (S.A.W.) 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 (S.A.W.)
and went to him. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) 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 (S.A.W.) gave the above
injunctions for the people of his tribe.
