In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Editor's Notes
Incident: It is recorded that the Prophet was one day seated on Safa when Abu Jahl happened to pass by and attacked the religion preached by him. The prophet Mohammed, however, kept silent and did not utter a single word. Abu Jahl went on unchecked, took a stone and cracked the Prophet’s head, which began to bleed. The aggressor then went to join the Quraishes in their assembly place.
Response:It so happened shortly after that, Hamza, while returning from a hunting expedition, passed by the same way, his bow hanging by his shoulder. A slave-girl belonging to ‘Abdullah bin Jada‘an, who had noted the rudeness of Abu Jahl, told him the whole story of the attack on the Prophet . On hearing that, Hamza was deeply offended and hurried to Al-Ka‘bah and there, in the courtyard of the Holy Sanctuary, found Abu Jahl sitting with a company of Qurai****es. Hamza rushed upon him and struck his bow upon his head violently and said: "Ah! You have been abusing Mohammed ; I too follow his religion and profess what he preaches." The men of Bani Makhzum came to his help, and men of Bani Hashim wanted to render help, but Abu Jahl sent them away saying: "Let Abu ‘Ummarah alone, by Allah I did revile his nephew shamelessly."
Assasin: He said: "I was a slave working to Jubair bin Mut‘im, whose paternal uncle Tu‘aimah bin ‘Adi was injured at Badr Battle. So when Quraish marched to Uhud, Jubair said to me: ‘If you kill Hamza, the uncle of Mohammed , stealthily you shall be freed.’ ""So I marched with the people to Uhud…when the two parties fought, I set out seeking Hamza. I saw him amidst people fighting. He was like a white and black striped camel, striking severely with his sword and no one could stand on his way. By Allah ! When I was getting ready and trying to seize the fit opportunity to spear him, hiding sometimes behind a tree or a rock hoping that he might draw nearer and be within range — at that moment I caught sight of Siba‘ bin ‘Abd Al-‘Uzza going closer towards him. When Hamza observed him, he said: ‘Come on! O son of the ‘clitoris-cutter.’ — for his mother used to be a circumciser. Then he struck one strong stroke that could hardly miss his head."Wahshi said: "Then I balanced my spear and shook it till I was content with it, then I speared him and it went down into his stomach and issued out between his legs. He attempted moving towards me but his wound overcame him. I left him there with the spear till he died. Then I came to him, pulled out my spear and returned to the encampment place. I stayed there and did not go out, for he was the only one I sought. I only killed him to free myself. So as soon as I got back to Makkah, I became a free man."Hind bin ‘Utbah ripped open the liver of Hamza and chewed it; but finding it unpleasant, she spat it out. She even made the ears and noses of Muslims into anklets and necklaces.When the Messenger of Allah saw how his uncle and foster brother, Hamza, was mutilated, he was extremely grieved. When his aunt Safiyah came to see her brother Hamza, the Messenger of Allah ordered her son Az-Zubair to dismiss her in order not to see what happened to her brother. She refused and said, "But why should I go away. I have been informed that they have mutilated him. But so long as it is in the way of Allah , whatever happens to him satisfies us. I say: Allah is Sufficient and I will be patient if Allah wills." She approached, looked at him and supplicated Allah for him and said: "To Allah we all belong and to Him we will verily return." and she implored Allah to forgive him. Then the Messenger of Allah ordered that he should be buried with ‘Abdullah bin Jahsh — who was his nephew as well as his foster brother.Ibn Mas‘ud said: We have never seen the Messenger of Allah weeping so much as he was for Hamza bin ‘Abdul Muttalib. He directed him towards Al-Qiblah, then he stood at his funeral and sobbed his heart out.The sight of the martyrs was extremely horrible and heart-breaking. Describing Hamza’s funeral, Khabbab said: "No shroud long enough was available for Hamza except a white-darkish garment. When they covered his head with it, it was too short to cover his feet. Similarly if they covered his feet his head would be revealed. Finally they covered his head with it and put some plant called ‘Al-Idhkhir’ to cover his feet.“

His Conversion to Islam:
Abu Hurayrah became a Muslim at the hands of at-Tufayl ibn 'Amr the chieftain of the Daws tribe to which he belonged.
When at-Tufayl returned to his village after meeting the Prophet and becoming a Muslim in the early years of his mission, Abu Hurayrah was one of the first to respond to his call. He was unlike the majority of the Daws who remained stubborn in their old beliefs for a long time.
Abu Hurayrah stayed in Tihamah for several years and it was only at the beginning of the seventh year of the Hijrah that he arrived in Madinah with others of his tribe. The Prophet had gone on a campaign to Khaybar.
When at-Tufayl visited Makkah again, Abu Hurayrah accompanied him. There he had the honor and privilege of meeting the noble Prophet who asked him: "What is your name?"
"'Abdus-Shams - Servant of a Sun," he replied.
"Instead, let it be 'Abdur-Rahman - the Servant of the Beneficent Lord," said the Prophet.
Mother: One day, he invited her to have faith in Allah alone and follow His Prophet but she uttered some words about the Prophet which saddened him greatly. With tears in his eyes, he went to the noble Prophet who said to him:
"What makes you cry, O Abu Hurayrah?"
"I have not let up in inviting my mother to Islam but she has always rebuffed me. Today, I invited her again and I heard words from her which I do not like. Do make supplication to Allah Almighty to make the heart of Abu Hurayrah's mother incline to Islam."
The Prophet responded to Abu Hurayrah's request and prayed for his mother. Abu Hurayrah said:
"I went home and found the door closed. I heard the splashing of water and when I tried to enter my mother said, 'Stay where you are, O Abu Hurayrah.' And after putting on her clothes, she said, 'Enter!' I entered and she said, 'I testify that there is no Allah but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His Servant and His Messenger.'
"I returned to the Prophet, peace be on him, weeping with joy just as an hour before I had gone weeping from sadness and said, 'I have good news, O Messenger of Allah. Allah has responded to your prayer and guided the mother of Abu Hurayrah to Islam.' "
Where he lived
He always remain with Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and every time in Masjid. Prophet Muhammad SAW taught him and he offer Salaah (Prayer) behind Prophet Muhammd (SAW). He didn't get married during the life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). His old mother always tried to bring him back to his old faith and he tried to bring her mother in the light of Islam, but his mother remained against Islam and his heart always remain sad because of his mother.
Events:
His mother’s conversion
His dua of knowledge
"Then Abu Hurayrah made a supplication saying: "O Lord, I ask You for what my two companions have asked and I ask You for knowledge which will not be forgotten."
His memory test
Once Marwan ibn al-Hakam wanted to test Abu Hurayrah's power of memory. He sat with him in one room and behind a curtain he placed a scribe, unknown to Abu Hurayrah, and ordered him to write down whatever Abu Hurayrah said. A year later, Marwan called Abu Hurayrah again and asked him to recall the same ahadith which the scribe had recorded. It was found that he had forgotten not a single word.
Hunger & Milk
Abu Hurayrah underwent much hardship and difficulties as a result of his dedicated search for knowledge. He was often hungry and destitute. He said about himself:
"When I was afflicted with severe hunger, I would go to a companion of the Prophet and asked him about an ayah of the Qur'anand (stay with him) learning it so that he would take me with him to his house and give food.
"One day, my hunger became so severe that I placed a stone on my stomach. I then sat down in the path of the companions. Abu Bakr passed by and I asked him about an ayah of the Book of Allah. I only asked him so that he would invite me but he didn't.
"Then 'Umar ibn al-Khattab passed by me and I asked him about an ayah but he also did not invite me. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be on him, passed by and realized that I was hungry and said,
'Abu Hurayrah!'
"'At your command,' I replied and followed him until we entered his house. He found a bowl of milk and asked his family:
'From where did you get this?'
"'Someone sent it to you,' they replied. He then said to me:
'O Abu Hurayrah, go to the Ahlus-Suffah and invite them.'
"I did as I was told and they all drank from the milk.“
His reply to the question
Abu Huraira (radiyallahu ta’ala ‘anhu) narrates that: People say that I have narrated many Hadiths (The Prophet’s narrations). Had it not been for two verses in the Qur’an, I would not have narrated a single Hadith, and the verses are:“Verily those who conceal the clear sign and the guidance which We have sent down . . . (up to) Most Merciful.” (2:159-160). And no doubt our Muhajir (emigrant) brothers used to be busy in the market with their business (bargains) and our Ansari brothers used to be busy with their property (agriculture). But I (Abu Huraira) used to stick to Allah’s Apostle contented with what will fill my stomach and I used to attend that which they used not to attend and I used to memorize that which they used not to memorize.
His governor of bahrain
During the caliphate of 'Umar, 'Umar appointed him as governor of Bahrain. 'Umar was very scrupulous about the type of persons whom he appointed as governors. He was always concerned that his governors should live simply and frugally and not acquire much wealth even though this was through lawful means.
In Bahrain, Abu Hurayrah became quite rich. 'Umar heard of this and recalled him to Madinah. 'Umar thought he had acquired his wealth through unlawful means and questioned him about where and how he had acquired such a fortune. Abu Hurayrah replied: "From breeding horses and gifts which I received."
"Hand it over to the treasury of the Muslims," ordered 'Umar.
Abu Hurayrah did as he was told and raised his hands to the heavens and prayed: "O Lord, forgive the Amir al-Mu'minin." Subsequently, 'Umar asked him to become governor once again but he declined. 'Umar asked him why he refused and he said:
"So that my honor would not be besmirched, my wealth taken and my back beaten."
And he added: "And I fear to judge without knowledge and speak without wisdom."
He was also governor of Medina during the rule of the early Umayyad caliphs.
Death:
Abu Hurairah died in 681 or 59 AH at the age of 78 and was buried at Al-Baqi'.[8]
He was born just three years before the Hijrah. When the Prophet died, Abdullah was thus only thirteen years old
Opinions:
Ibn Masud- What an excellent interpreter of the Quran ibn Abbas is
Mujahid- whenever ibn Abbas interpreted something I saw a light overhim
Shaqiq- Ibn Abbas, during the season fo hajj, addressed the people. He began reciting surah noor. As he recited he interpreted. An elder from the district said “ Glory be to Allah, I have never seen wrods coming from the head of someone such that were the turks to listent to them, they would accept islam
At-I do not see (the brightness of) the moon of the fourtheenth night except that I remember the face of Ibn Abbas
Ikrimah- whenever ibn abbas passed by a street, the women would say-is it al misk that just passed or ibn abbas
Prophet’s dua (repeated)
The Prophet would often draw Abdullah as a child close to him, pat him on the shoulder and pray: "O Lord, make him acquire a deep understanding of the religion of Islam and instruct him in the meaning and interpretation of things."
Seeking Knowledge
Upon death of Prophet
Upon knowing that an ansar has a hadith (sleep at the door collecting dust)
His knowledge
Umar used to make him sit among elders. Once Umar asked the people about “when comes Help of Allah and the conquest” Q110:1)
Some said: order to praise Allah and ask forgiveness…etc, but when umar asked ibn abbas, he said: that is the sign of the death of Allah’s messenger. Conquest of mecca which is a signn of your death. You should celebrate the praises of your Lord and ask for His Forgiveness and He is the One Who accepts the repentance and forgives”
Khalifa Umar often sought his advice on improtant matters of state (the young man of maturity)
Ali burned some people who apostatized…when ibn abbas heard that : do no punish anybody with Allah’s punishment | Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him
Fear of Allah
His death
Al-Abbas sent his sone (abdullah ibn Abbas) to pbuh and found somebody with him so came back. Later he asked himself to pbuh and he pbuh said that was jibrel who was with me and your son wil not die except after his sight is lost and he will be given considerable knowledge.
“Say [O Prophet, to the people]: "If you love Allah, follow me, [and] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins." [Al-Quran 3:31]
“The best of my followers are those living in my century (generation), thenthose coming after them and then those coming after the latter.” [Bukhari]
they were very ambitious for the never ending hereafter and focused on gathering all they could for it. Anything that did not give them a chance to gain the pleasure of Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) was a waste of time for them. One could say that the Sahabah (radi Allahu anhum) were obsessed with the hereafter.
They judged their victory or defeat, profit or loss, happiness or sorrow by its impact, negative or positive, on their Akhirah/hereafter.For example, when Haram ibn Milhan (radi Allahu anhu) was stabbed by a spear atBir Maunah he exclaimed, “Allahu akbar! By the Lord of the Kabah, I won.” The disbeliever who had attacked him wondered, “Didn’t I kill him? What did he mean by saying,‘I won’?” When the reward of Shahadah (martyrdom) was later explained to him, he became a Muslim. [Ibn Hisham, Sahih Bukhari]
They were the ones who
-took the pain of poverty
-kicked by the society without any benefit for them in this world
-fought wars with less weapons and less number of people
-preserved the sunnah and strived very hard to follow it
-implimented the rule of Allah
-spread Islam in foreign lands and took the pain to spread it as far as possible
-had the zeal to follow and spread the religion so much so that it reach us as well
Universal laws: Laws of Allah-one has to follow it, and learn how to master it and wait for the victory/help from Allah
Sahabas were chosen and trained, then they struggled and confronted the enemies of Islam, and then they were granted victory---no miracle overnight.
