beloved youth of the Prophet

With the command of Allah Akbar, the Messenger of Allah and his companions and all the Muslim troops entered the City of Makkaih with full persuasion and excitement for the new victory.

The Messenger of Allah walked with Usamah bin Zaid bin Haritsah to his left, while Bilal bin Rabah was at his right.

The Prophet deliberately placed these two men as an answer as well as the proclamation to the inhabitants of Makkah will end the social and skin color differences. Only obedience to God distinguishes one from another.

Who are Bilal bin Rabah and Usamah? Bilal bin Rabah was a former Umayyad bin Khalaf and Usamah was the son of Zayd ibn Haritsah a black hasby with Ummu Aiman, a former slave of the Prophet and a Prophet.

"Usama is the person I love most, as I love his father," said the Messenger. Soon the love of Rasulullah to Usamah's father, until people call it "Zaid bin Muhammad". But this name is reprimanded by Allah through Surat Al Ahzab.

So proud of Rasulullah to Usamah, at the age of twenty years the young man was appointed Commander of the War to lead 700 Muslim troops invaded Syria.

In carrying out the direct orders of the Prophet, the Commander of the War of Usamah left for Syrian facing Roman troops under King Heraclius.

As a twenty-year-old young commander, the boy is a kid. Naturally, if his appointment raises the pros and cons. Protests received by the Prophet from his senior companions, including Umar bin Khattab.

"Before this they also disagreed with his father being the commander, while Zaid is well worth the commander of his son who is also eligible for the job. He is the one I love most after his father. And I hope he's one of the main ones amongst you. So help him with good advice, "said the Prophet to drown the protest of his companions.

Usamah bin Zaid realized the situation, but the Messenger's command was a mandate to be executed. With 700 troops he left for Syrian. When a few miles north of Medina, usamah with his army rested, suddenly heard the news of sorrow, the Prophet died.

"Delivery of troops to Syrian should be postponed. Very unqualified in the mood of still sending troops. Usamah is the beloved son of the Messenger of Allah, give him the opportunity to give his last respects, "said Umar bin Khattab.

Many companions agree with Umar's opinion, but not Abu Bakr's opinion of the Caliphs.

"Rasulullah's message before his death, continue the Usamah shipment. This is a mandate that can not be offered again and should be implemented, "said Abu Bakr.

"Keeping Medina more important than invading outside," Umar bin Khattab said.

"By Allah, though I will be wiped out by the wolves, I will continue to do what the Messenger of Allah has ordered. And I will never break the verdict he has set, "replied Abu Bakr firmly.

He then met Usama in his camp that was then riding on a gallant and stout white horse. As soon as the presence of the Caliph Abu Bakr, Usama immediately jumped off the horse to pick him up, but the Caliph prevented him.

"Keep your duty according to the command of the Prophet. And let me stay in Medina with Umar for the sake of the resurrection of the Messenger of Allah, "said Caliph Abu Bakr to honor Usamah as commander.

With a sense of confusion for parting with the Prophet, Usamah left Medina with his troops to Syrian to carry out the mandate of the Prophet. The battle lasted forty days with victory over Usamah and his troops.

"Without Muhammad, the commander was able to oversee such a force, especially while still with his former leader," said Heraclius who was impressed with the spirit of the Muslim army.

Usamah's courage in the battlefield was amazing, it was like his father, Zaid bin Haritsah.
At the time of the Prophet's life, victory over Usamah was on the battlefield. He described his experiences, including the death of an opponent who previously defeated Muslim troops.

Usama managed to capture the opponent. In a state of tremor with a sword still in his grasp, his enemy suddenly pronounced the creed. But Usamah still swung his sword and cut him off until he was killed.

At that time Rasulullah was really angry. "Why did you kill anyone who has spoken Laa ilaha ilallah?" He asked.

The Prophet is very upholding the word of tawhid, so it does not justify the blood of someone who has spoken the creed. Whether it is spoken from the bottom of the heart or Just the verb alone, as did the pagan people who killed Usamah.

The event was very impressive at Usamah's heart. She felt so regrettable, that she could not forget her whole life. Therefore, when Caliph Ali bin Abi Thalib asked him to go to the battlefield against Muawiyah, Governor of Syam, Usamah rejected him.

Ali bin Abi Thalib, as Khalifah wants to replace Muawiyah as Governor of Sham with Suhail bin Hunaif. But Muawiyah refused until there was a dispute and developed into a fellow Muslim war. Unfortunately, the dispute involves Aishah, Zubair bin Awwam and Thalhah bin Ubaillah who demanded a reply to Ali for the death of Khalifah Ustman bin Affan.

Khalifah Ali then asked for Usamah, who could not grant it. Usamah was still overwhelmed by the traumatic feeling since killing the pagans who uttered the creed on the battlefield at the time, he could not possibly forget it.

"O Caliph Ali, if I had to accompany you to the lion's mouth though, I would remain faithful. But this affair, sorry for nothing, did not cross my mind, "Usamah denied Ali's request. And Caliph Ali was very understanding and aware of Usamah's attitude.
