Dhu al-Bijadayn was Abdullah bin Abd Nuhm Al-Muzani, may Allah be pleased with him, a Companion from the tribe of Muzaynah. He was given this nickname because he emigrated to the Prophet ﷺ with nothing but a cloak torn into two halves. He wore one half as a waist wrapper and the other as a covering. He was known for truthfulness, poverty, and love for the Prophet ﷺ, and he went with him in The Expedition of Tabuk in year 9 AH, where he died on the way. One of the greatest reports about his virtue is that the Prophet ﷺ descended into his grave when he was buried and said: “O Allah, I am pleased with him, so be pleased with him.” His life is a model of the sincere believer whom poverty and little wealth did not keep from the Hijrah, jihad, and staying close to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
