Abstract

The lens of the study is to highlight about the “Mushajarat” of the companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). Lexical meaning of the ‘’Mushajarat,, is a dense trees in which the branches are mixing and striking  with each other. Here it exposes itself in the meaning of fight because the fighter are mixing and striking with one another. The religious scholars did not explain the partiality among the companions of the Holy prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)   as fight, but they rather explained it as ‘’Mushajarat, because the dense tree is the beauty and has attraction for aesthetic watchers. According to ‘’sharia,, the word ‘’Mushajarat,, is used for the difference of opinion on religious issues among the companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) which is compared with dense tree in which the branches are mixing and striking each other, because the branches of a tree are in different directions which are not objectionable and cannot be termed as a weakness of a tree but rather beautify the tree. Indeed one can find opponency amongst the companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) but that is explained by the well doctrine Religious Scholars as ‘’Mushajarat,, which is the beauty of Sharia and Islamic Fiqqah, because there was no hostility or hatred amongst the companion of Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) when they were explaining Islamic Fiqqah or Sharia.
