1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,360 Pause. 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:12,140 Get to know the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures. 3 00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:16,140 A new challenge: Who am I? 4 00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:21,480 I am one of the Mothers of the Believers. 5 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:27,480 And the second wife of the trustworthy Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 6 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,739 I was a noble lady whom the Prophet married. 7 00:00:31,739 --> 00:00:35,740 I was first married to al-Sakran ibn 'Amr, may Allah be pleased with him. 8 00:00:35,740 --> 00:00:39,740 I migrated with him to Abyssinia, fleeing to preserve our religion. 9 00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:42,740 I bore him five children. 10 00:00:42,740 --> 00:00:48,899 When the emigrants in Abyssinia felt the need to return to Mecca, 11 00:00:48,899 --> 00:00:50,899 I returned with my husband along with them. 12 00:00:50,899 --> 00:00:54,060 While I was in Mecca, 13 00:00:54,060 --> 00:00:56,060 I saw in a dream 14 00:00:56,060 --> 00:01:01,060 that a moon fell upon me from the sky while I was lying down. 15 00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:03,060 I told my husband, 16 00:01:03,060 --> 00:01:07,060 and he said, "By Allah, if your vision is true, 17 00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:11,060 I will not live much longer before I die, 18 00:01:11,060 --> 00:01:14,060 and you will marry after me." 19 00:01:14,060 --> 00:01:17,219 My husband fell ill that very day, 20 00:01:17,219 --> 00:01:19,219 and his sickness grew heavy upon him, 21 00:01:19,219 --> 00:01:22,219 until death overtook him. 22 00:01:22,219 --> 00:01:26,439 Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, proposed to me 23 00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:28,439 after my waiting period ended. 24 00:01:28,439 --> 00:01:33,439 He married me after the passing of Khadijah, may Allah be pleased with her. 25 00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:38,439 I had him to myself for about three years or more, 26 00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:42,439 until he married 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her. 27 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:46,299 I had a naturally playful disposition, 28 00:01:46,299 --> 00:01:51,299 and I used to make the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, laugh. 29 00:01:51,299 --> 00:01:53,299 For instance, 30 00:01:53,299 --> 00:01:59,299 I once prayed behind the Prophet, peace be upon him, during his night prayer, 31 00:01:59,299 --> 00:02:02,299 and the prayer felt long for me. 32 00:02:02,299 --> 00:02:04,299 When morning came, 33 00:02:04,299 --> 00:02:08,300 I said to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 34 00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:10,300 "I prayed behind you last night, 35 00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:14,300 and you prolonged the bowing until I had to hold my nose 36 00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:17,300 for fear that blood would drip." 37 00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:21,300 The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, laughed. 38 00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:26,460 The wives of the Prophet, peace be upon him, treated me 39 00:02:26,460 --> 00:02:28,460 with similar affection, 40 00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:31,460 and would seize any opportunity to joke with me. 41 00:02:31,460 --> 00:02:35,620 Once, Hafsah and 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with them both, 42 00:02:35,620 --> 00:02:40,620 wanted to trick me into thinking that the Dajjal had appeared. 43 00:02:40,620 --> 00:02:42,620 I was seized with panic, 44 00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:46,620 and I rushed to hide in a corner of the house 45 00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:48,620 where we used to light a fire. 46 00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:52,620 Hafsah and 'Aishah laughed at me. 47 00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:56,750 When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, arrived 48 00:02:56,750 --> 00:02:58,750 and saw them laughing, 49 00:02:58,750 --> 00:03:00,750 he asked them, 50 00:03:00,750 --> 00:03:02,750 "What is the matter with you?" 51 00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:05,750 They told him what had happened to me, 52 00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:07,750 so he came to me. 53 00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:10,750 As soon as I saw him, I cried out, 54 00:03:10,750 --> 00:03:12,750 "O Messenger of Allah, 55 00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:14,750 has the Dajjal appeared?" 56 00:03:14,750 --> 00:03:15,750 He replied, 57 00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:16,750 "No, 58 00:03:16,750 --> 00:03:18,750 but he is near." 59 00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:21,750 I felt reassured and came out from my hiding place, 60 00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:25,750 brushing off the cobwebs from my clothes. 61 00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:29,550 When I grew older and heavier, 62 00:03:29,550 --> 00:03:34,550 I feared that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, might divorce me, 63 00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:39,550 so I gifted my day and night to 'Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, 64 00:03:39,550 --> 00:03:43,550 to please the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, 65 00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:46,550 out of love for what he loved, 66 00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:52,550 and a desire to be resurrected among his wives, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 67 00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:56,650 Regarding this, Allah the Almighty revealed His saying: 68 00:03:56,650 --> 00:04:01,650 “If a woman feareth ill treatment from her husband, or desertion, it is no sin for them twain if they make terms of peace between themselves. Peace is better. But greed hath been made present in the minds (of men). If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.” (4:128) 69 00:04:01,650 --> 00:04:07,650 “If a woman feareth ill treatment from her husband, or desertion, it is no sin for them twain if they make terms of peace between themselves. Peace is better. But greed hath been made present in the minds (of men). If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.” (4:128) 70 00:04:07,650 --> 00:04:12,479 I was generous and gave much in charity, 71 00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:15,509 so much so that when 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, 72 00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:19,509 sent me a vessel filled with dirhams, 73 00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:22,509 I asked, "What is this?" 74 00:04:22,509 --> 00:04:24,509 They said, "Dirhams." 75 00:04:24,509 --> 00:04:28,509 I said, "In a sack, just like dates?" 76 00:04:28,509 --> 00:04:31,509 And I distributed them among the poor. 77 00:04:31,509 --> 00:04:36,670 I remained in my house after the death of the Prophet, peace be upon him, 78 00:04:36,670 --> 00:04:40,670 and did not go out for Hajj or anything else, 79 00:04:40,670 --> 00:04:44,670 in accordance with his instruction, peace be upon him. 80 00:04:44,670 --> 00:04:46,930 So, who am I? 81 00:04:46,930 --> 00:04:55,060 Share your answers with us in the comments below the video. 82 00:04:55,060 --> 00:04:59,279 We will pin the correct answer in the comments 83 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,279 when the next episode is released, Allah willing.
