| عہدِ نبوی میں عدلیہ کی سربراہ عدالتِ عالیہ خود آنحضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی ہی ذات تھی۔ قاضیوں کا تقرر اور انہیں عدالتی و اصولی ہدایات دنیا آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ہی کے فرائض میں داخل تھا۔ معاذ رضی اللہ عنہ ابن جبل کا یمن کے قاضی اور والی کی حیثیت سے تقرر اس پہلو پر واضح روشی ڈالتا ہے۔ عسکری تنظیم: مضمون کا یہ حصہ ڈاکٹر حمید اللہ کے مندرجہ ذیل الفاظ سے شروع کرنا مناسب معلوم ہوتا ہے۔ The Prophet’s empire, which commenced with a few streets of a small city-state, expanded at the average rate of 274 square miles daily; and after ten years of political activity, when he breathed his last, he was ruling over a million square miles. This area, as big as Europe minus Russia, and inhabited certainly by millions of people at that time, was conquered at a cost of barely 150 men killed on the battlefields on the enemy side. Loss of Muslims was at the rate of one martyr a month for a period of ten years at an average. This respect of human blood is unequalled in the annals of man. Moreover, the firmness of occupation, the mental transformation of the conquered and their complete assimilation, and the production of such trained officers who in a bare fifteen years after the death of the leader delievered millions of square miles from bellum omnium contra omens to enjoy the pax Islamica and similar phenomena arouse in us an intense curiosity to study the wars of the time of prophet. These wars of the Prophet had nothing in common, except the name, with our mundane wars and we see in his wars the truth of his own saying: “I am the Prophet of Battle, I am the Prophet of Mercy”! 1.
