   Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

Bismillah, since i was named after the Lion Of Allah and his prophet i think i have to answer  

This a copy and paste from Islam online, by the way, i know the story, after all i was named after him but the wife is calling so this is a more quick way and besides you don't mess with women   

The story is very simple. It happened like this. For three years Prophet Muhammad had spoken to only a few people about the revelations he had so far received from Angel Jibreel (Gabriel), and for a further three years he struggled against great odds to make the message known to the wider community in Makkah.

For doing this he was vilified and ridiculed by the people of Makkah, who described him as a madman or a magician. Some Makkans were especially strong in leading this campaign against the Prophet and against Islam. One of these men was Abu Jahl.

One day, Prophet Muhammad was walking at the foot of Mount As-Safa in Makkah when Abu Jahl met him. Abu Jahl began to hurl insults at him and to ridicule the message of the Oneness of Allah that he was preaching. Some reports even say that he took a stone and hit Muhammad with it, causing his head to bleed. The Prophet did not respond to the taunts, and Abu Jahl moved to the Kabah at the center of the town, where he boasted to his tribes people of what he had done.

Hamzah was one of the Prophet's staunchest supporters and did everything he could to protect him. 

It was just at this time that Hamza was coming back from hunting. Hamzah was a brave man, very popular with the people of Makkah, and he used to love hunting. He came across the freed slave woman of `Abdullah ibn Judan, who told him what had happened to his nephew. 

In a rage, Hamzah rushed off to the Kabah to seek revenge on the one who had harmed a member of his family. Without saying a word he used his hunting bow to hit Abu Jahl, cutting his head. He then asked Abu Jahl how he dared to hurt his nephew, especially since he preached the very message that Hamzah believed in.

Hamzah had never said these words before and they were a shock to everyone and set the two tribes in frenzy, Abu Jahl had to admit that he had offended Muhammad and deserved what he got.

From that moment on, declaring before the people of Makkah that he believed in the message of his nephew, Muhammad, Hamzah was one of the Prophet's staunchest supporters and did everything he could to protect him.

Hamzah was to go on to become known as "Asadullah", the Lion of Allah, so strong was his defense of Islam and so great was he to become as one of its warriors. In the end he died a very cruel and brutal death at the hands of wicked and vengeful people, giving his last breath in the cause of Allah.

	As-Sal was established as an obligatory ritual at an early stage of the Islamic Call, a two rak� ah (unit of prayer) Sal? in the morning and the same in the evening. It is related that obligatory prayer was established twice a day, in the morning before sunrise and after sunset. It is reported through a chain of narrators that when the Prophet [pbuh] received the first Revelation, Gabriel - the angel, proceeded and taught him how to observe Wudu (ablution). When the Prophet [pbuh] had finished, he took a handful of water and sprinkled it on his loins. The first person to join Prophet {Pbuh} in his prayers was Khadijah RA and then Ali RA.

	MashaAllah brother. You are answering all the questions perfectly. I hope you are n't frightening other members. None of our members are attending Here's about Hudhaifah RA Because of Hudhayfah's ability to keep a secret, the Prophet, peace be on him, confided in him the names of the munafiqin. It was a weighty secret which the Prophet did not disclose to any other off his companions. He gave Hudhayfah the task of watching the movements of the munafiqin, following their activities, and shielding the Muslims from the sinister danger they represented. It was a tremendous responsibility. The munafiqin, because they acted in secrecy and because they knew all the developments and plans of the Muslims from within presented a greater threat to the community than the outright hostility of the kuffar. From this time onwards. Hudhayfah was called "The Keeper of the Secret of the Messenger of Allah". Throughout his life he remained faithful to his pledge not to disclose the names of the hypocrites. After the death of the Prophet, the Khalifah often came-to him to seek his advice concerning their movements and activities but he remained tight-lipped and cautious. Umar was only able to find out indirectly who the hypocrites were. If anyone among the Muslims died, Umar would ask: "Has Hudhayfah attended his funeral prayer?" If the reply was 'yes', he would perform the prayer. If the reply was 'no', he became doubtful about the person and refrained from performing the funeral prayer for him. Once Umar asked Hudhayfah: "Is any of my governors a munafiq?" "One," replied Hudhayfah. "Point him out to me," ordered Umar. "That I shall not do," insisted Hudhayfah who later said that shortly after their conversation Umar dismissed the person just as if he had been guided to him. This were the notes i got from a site MCS USC --- { i don't remember it exactly} But when i verified it , i got to know it from brother Abu Zaid that While returning from a Ghazwah, few Munafiqs tried to Martyre Prophet Mohammed PBUH. While passing through a very narrow place beneath a hill, Munafiqs decided to push a rock over Prophet, They were all masked and nobody knew who they were. But Allah SWT,revealed names of all these Munafiqs to Prophet Mohammed PBUH which he did not disclosed to anyone except Hudhaifah RA. This is the basic reason. However, there are many other traditions that indicate that Prophet saws also told many other secrets to Hudhaifah RA which were disclosed to else like list of names of the Munafiqs, signs of doomsday etc. Though first part of the above is authentic, second part is in doubt of its authenticity . if Hudhaifah RA is being told other secrets or not ?
