Huzaifah-bin-Yaman (r.a)

Huzaifah-bin-Yaman (r.a) was from the very first believers who embraced Islam in Madinah. He had concluded the contract of brotherhood with Ammar Yasir (r.a) while he is called as the confident of the holy Prophet (PBUHH) in the history of Islam, the one who was aware of the hearts of hypocrites and the prevising news of future calamities against the Islamic government.
Huzaifah (r.a) was one of the brave soldiers of Islam who had been relied upon for the protection of the holy Prophet (PBUHH) for a long time. He was one of those who have offered prayer on Hazrat Fatima (s.a) and gave the proposal of unification of holy Quran to Uthman. He, who was the one of firm criticizers of Uthman’s politics, was also considered among the closest companions of the Commander of Faithful (s.a).
Huzaifah (r.a) was appointed as the governor of Madain in the era of Ummar-bin-Khattab while Uthman and Ali (a.s) also retained him on his post. He was a brave fighter, aware politician, self-made sagacious and an honest narrator of traditions. He passed away in the beginning of the Caliphate of the Commander of Faithful (a.s) in Madain and was buried in same city. However centuries later, in the year of 1931 A.D, he was shifted near the tomb of Salman Farsi (r.a) while his body seemed still intact and fresh.
