Imam Sa’eed bin Al-Musayyab (Biography) 

by Salaahud-Deen ‘Ali Abdul-Mawjood

This is the biography of the chief of At-Tabi’een and the leader of the Muslims in his time, Sa’eed bin Al-Musayyab – may Allah have abundant mercy upon him. The scholars have made an elaborate mention of him and historians have written extensively. Yet all of them felt that they have not given this distinguished personality the mention he rightly deserved.

Sa’eed bin Al-Musayyab was one of the pious and the righteous men. He was also among the selected ones who were afflicted. He was tested; but never did the criticism of any critic diminish his efforts in the cause of Allah. He was given to a lot of worship and performing prayers congregational. He was abstinent and contented. And he was, according to the meaning of his name, ever happy with righteous deeds; and he always shunned sins and foolish acts.
