Sisters A Word for Women-Shaykh Badiuddeen Shah ar-Raashidee as-Sindhee

The mother of the believers Aa’ishah, radiallaahu anha, has narrated more than
two thousand Ahaadeeth. She was the teacher of all in knowledge and
jurisprudence. The Sahaaba used to turn to her (for solutions) for the biggest of
the issues.
After the Aayah of Ahzaab was revealed the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu
alaihi wasllam asked her to consult with her father (Abu Bakr) and decide if she
would prefer the splendor of this world or the hereafter(i.e. the Messenger of
Allaah sallallaahu alaihi wasallam)? The mother of the believers, Aa’ishah
radiallaahu anha said in reply, ‘I need no consultation in this matter with my
parents, I prefer the Aakhirah (i.e. the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu alaih i
wasallam) better than this world.’

Asma’ bint Umais radiallaahu anha, the wife of Abu Bakr radiallaahu anhu was a
very patient woman. When she learnt about the killing of her son, Muhammad
bin Abee Bakr radiallaahu anhu , then instead of crying and wailing, she took
control over her anger and sat in the Masjid quietly. Due to which she bled.

The Taabi’iyyah, Ummus Suhba’ was a worshipping and abstentious woman. In
her illness she was presented with a special kind of intoxicant in a cup. She
supplicated to Allaah, ‘O Allaah! If You know that Your Messenger has indeed
forbidden this intoxicant, then safeguard me from it and cure me with out using
it.’ (Then) the cup broke and the intoxicant flowed down and she was cured.

(She) used to wake up in the night and say, that she was astonished about her
eyes, that they knew that they had to sleep for a long time in the grave and in spite of that they want to sleep here!!

Assalamu alaykum

Jazakillahu khayran for sharing this beautiful piece. It is written by one of my favourite shaykhs, rahimahullah. I met him once when I was a young boy, aged around 11, attending his lecture with my family. I remember giving him salam, but did not expect his kindness and words which were really inspirational. Not only did he reply to my salam, but he had a minute to talk to me, and he put his hand on my head and made du'aa. I didn't know much about him at the time, later I found out he was very scholarly muhadith, and a very close friend and contemporary of Shaykh Al-Albani and Ibn Baz rahimahumullah.

Looking back over his life and interactions, he had exemplary character. Always took a stand for Tawheed and didn't cower from standing for the truth, and putting Allah first always. Ma sha Allah.
