Monk in Medina - Abu Amir
Ada sebuah artikel oleh Ghada mengenai golongan Kristian Media sebelum tiba Islam. Salah seorang mereka adalah monk Kristian bernama Abu Amir. Beliau adalah bapak kepasa Hanzalah, seorang Sahabah. Hanzalah syahid di pertempuran Uhud.
Selain kisah Abu Amir turut juga dicerita mengenai dua tokoh lagi - ‘Uthman b. al-Huwayrith dan Waraqa b. Nawfal.
‘Uthman b. al-Huwayrith dan Waraqa b. Nawfal.
Petikan dan Tafsir Al-Maududi (link):
".. the one in conflict... Messenger" was Abu `Amir who belonged to the clan of Aus of Al-Madinah. He had become Christian monk during the period of `ignorance' before the migration of the Holy Prophet and was well-known as a scholar of the Scriptures and was held in great reverence as a pious monk. But his scholarship and asceticism, instead of leading him to the Truth, became hindrance in the way. That was why he not only rejected Islam but also became a bitter enemy of the Holy Prophet and his Mission, for he took the Prophet for a rival in the "holy business" of priesthood.
Petikan dari tafsir At-Taubah ayat 107 (link):
Anti-Islam activities of hypocrites have been described in several previous verses. The present verses mention yet another conspiracy hatched by them. It has been reported that there was a man in Madinah. His name was Abu ` Amir. He had become a Christian during the days of Jahiliyyah and was known as Abu ` Amir the Rahib (that is, a monk). This is the same Abu ` Amir whose son Hanzalah ؓ is a well-known Sahabi whose dead body was washed by angels and which gave him the sobriquet of ` the one who was bathed by angels.' But, the father stuck by his error and remained a Christian.
