The Conversion of Abu Dharr

In the morning, they -gingerly- went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and Abu Dharr started to listen to the Holy Quran, and he embraced Islam in that session. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to him: “Return to your people and inform them until my matter comes to you." Abu Dharr said, "By He who sent you with the truth, I will surely cry out among them." So he left until he reached the mosque and He called out in a high voice saying, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger." The people present rose up to him and fought him in a fierce battle, they continued with him until they threw him to the ground. Al-Abbas came and rescued him from them, but he returned the next day to a similar fate, they returned to do what they did, and Al-Abbas rescued him again. Abu Dharr returned to his brother and announced his Islam, so his brother converted to Islam and they went to their mother who declared her Islam. Abu Dharr started to preach Islam among his people. May Allah be pleased with him.

Evidences of Prophethood in the Islam of Talha bin Ubaidullah

Talha bin Ubaidullah said: "I attended the market of Busra when a monk in his hermitage, asked ‘Is there anyone from the people of the Haram among you this season?’ Talha said, I replied, ‘yes, I am.’ He then asked, 'Has Ahmad appeared yet?' I said, 'Who is Ahmad?' He replied, 'The son of Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib. This is his month in which he will appear, and he is the last of the prophets, his emergence is from the Haram, and his emigration will be to a place of date-palm trees and heat and black stones, beware of being preceded to him.' Talha said: 'What he said struck a chord in my heart, so I hurriedly left until I reached Mecca, and I asked: 'Has there been any recent news?'

Arabic:

وفي الصباح ذهبا- على حذر- إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَخَذَ أبو ذر يستمع إلى القرآن الكريم، فأسلم في جلسته،. فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:ارْجِعْ إلى قومك فأخبرهم حتى يأتيك أمري، فَقَالَ:«وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ، لأصرخنّ بها بين ظهرانيهم..فخرج حتى أتى المسجد فنادى بأعلى صوته:«أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رسول الله ... فقام إليه الحاضرون فاشتبكوا معه في معركة، حامية، واستمروا به حتى رموه أرضا، فأتى العباس وأنقذه منهم ... ولكنه عاد في الغد إلى مثلها، وعادوا إلى مثل ما فعلوا، وأنقذه من جديد العباس، وعاد أبو ذر إلى أخيه، وأعلن إسلامه، فأسلم أخوه، وذهبا إلى أمهما فأعلنت إسلامها، وأخذ أبو ذر يبشر الإسلام في قومه. رضي الله عنه.دلائل النبوة في إسلام طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُقَالَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ: «حَضَرْتُ سُوقَ بُصْرَى فَإِذَا رَاهِبٌ فِي صَوْمَعَتِهِ، يَقُولُ: سَلُوا أَهْلَ هَذَا الْمَوْسِمِ أَفِيهِمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحَرَمِ؟قَالَ طَلْحَةُ: قُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَنَا.فَقَالَ: هَلْ ظهر أحمد.قُلْتُ: وَمَنْ أَحْمَدُ قَالَ: ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، هَذَا شَهْرُهُ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ فِيهِ، وَهُوَ آخِرُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ، مَخْرَجُهُ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ، وَمُهَاجَرُهُ إِلَى نَخْلٍ وَحَرَّةٍ وَسِبَاخٍ، فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُسْبَقَ إِلَيْهِ.قَالَ طَلْحَةُ: فَوَقَعَ فِي قَلْبِي مَا قال، فخرجت مسرعا حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ، فَقُلْتُ:هَلْ كَانَ مِنْ حَدَثٍ؟
