Mawaddah Association is pleased
To be presented to you
Pictures from the lives of female companions
By Dr. Abdul Rahman Raafat Al-Basha
May God have mercy on him
Asmaa bint Abi Bakr
May God be pleased with them both
This companion of ours gathered glory from all sides
Her father is a companion
My companions found her
Her sister is a companion
Her husband is a companion
Her son is a companion
He considered it an honor and a pride
As for her father
The friend is the friend of the Noble Messenger during his lifetime
And his successor after his death
As for her grandfather
Abu Atiq is the father of Abu Bakr
As for her sister
The mother of the believers, Aisha
The pure and exonerated
As for her husband
My interlocutor is the Messenger of God
Al-Zubayr bin Al-Awwam
As for her son
So Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr
May God be pleased with him and them all
It's in a nutshell
Asma bint Abi Bakr Al-Siddiq, that is enough
They were names of predecessors to Islam
He did not surpass her in this great merit
Other than seventeen people, a man and a woman
It was called the same two ranges
Because it was made for the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
On that day, her father provided for the riches of Medina
And I prepared water for them
When she did not find anything to connect them with
It split its scope in two
So I linked the water supply to one of them and to the second the waterskin
So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed for her
That God will replace them with two domains in Paradise
Therefore, it was called the same two ranges
Al-Zubayr bin Al-Awwam married her
He was a widowed young man
He has no servant to serve him
Or money to provide for his family
Other than Firas, he bought it
She was a good wife to him
She serves him and gets a mare
She takes care of it and grinds the seeds for fodder
Until God granted him victory
He became one of the richest of the Companions
When she had the opportunity to immigrate to the city
Fleeing with her religion to God and His Messenger
She had completed her pregnancy with her son, Abdullah bin Al-Zubair
This did not prevent her from enduring the hardships of the long journey
As soon as she reached Quba, she gave birth to her child
The Muslims grew up and cheered
Because he was the first child born to immigrants in the city
So I carried it to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
And she put it in his lap
So he took some of his saliva and put it in the boy's mouth
Then his palate and affection
The first thing that entered his stomach was the saliva of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He gathered for Asmaa bint Abi Bakr among the good deeds
Symbols of nobility and clear mind
Unless it meets only a rare few men
She was kind
So that its quality sets an example
Her son Abdullah said:
I've never seen it twice
He is better than his aunt Aisha and his mother Asma
But their origins are different
As for my aunt, she used to collect thing after thing
Even if she has enough money, she divides it among those in need
As for my mother, she would not hold anything until the next day
Asmaa was also sensible and behaved well in critical situations
From this, when Al-Siddiq left as an immigrant in the company of the Messenger of God
He carried with him all his money, amounting to six thousand dirhams
He left nothing to his children
When Abu Quhafa came to know of his departure
He was still a polytheist
He came to his house and told Asmaa
By God, I see him making you miserable with his money
After he hurt you himself
She said to him
No, father
He left us a lot of money
Then I took a pebble
She put it in the niche where they put the money
She threw a dress on him
Then she took her grandfather's hand
He was blind
She said
Father
Look how much money he left us
So he put his hand on him and said
It's okay
If he left all of this to you, then he did well
In doing so, she wanted to comfort the sheikh’s soul
And not to make him give her any of his money
This is because she hated letting a polytheist have a hand over her
Even if it was her grandfather
If history forgets, Asma bint Abi Bakr has all her positions
He will never forget her clear-headedness and her strong resolve
And the strength of her faith
She gives her son Abdullah the last meeting
This is because her son is Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr
The caliphate was pledged to him after the death of Yazid bin Muawiyah
Hejaz, Nasr, and Iraq were close to him
Khorasan and most of the Levant
But the Banu Amit soon sent a powerful army to war against him
Led by Al-Hajjaj bin Youssef Al-Thaqafi
Fierce battles took place between the two teams
In it, Ibn al-Zubayr showed the kind of heroism that befits a Tharus Kami like him
However, his supporters began to abandon him little by little
So he took refuge in the Sacred House of God
He and those with him took refuge in the sanctuary of the Holy Kaaba
Hours before his death
He entered upon his mother Asmaa
She was old and mortal and had lost her sight
He said, “Peace be upon you, mother, and God’s mercy and blessings.”
She said: Peace be upon you, Abdullah
What can I offer you at this hour?
And the rocks that you throw from the catapults of pilgrims at your soldiers in the Haram
The houses of Mecca are shaking
He said I came to consult you
She said to consult me about what
He said people have let me down
They turned away from me in awe of the pilgrims
Or a desire for what he has
Even my children and family left me
Only a few of my men remained with me
And they are, no matter how thick their skin is
They will only be patient for an hour or two
And the messengers of Banu Umayyad are negotiating with me
They will give me whatever I want from the world
If I drop the weapon
I pledged allegiance to Abdul Malik bin Marwan
So what do you see?
On her voice she said
It's your business, Abdullah
And you know yourself
If you think you are right
It calls for truth
So be patient and defend yourself as your companions who were killed under your banner were patient
Even if you only wanted the world
What a miserable servant you are
You destroyed yourself and your men
He said
But I will inevitably be killed today
she said
That is better for you than surrendering yourself to the pilgrims voluntarily
Umayyad boys play with your head
He said
I am not afraid of killing
But I fear that he will mutilate me
she said
Murder has nothing to fear after killing
Slaughtered sheep are not harmed by skinning
So the secrets of his face shone and he said
Blessed by mother
May your great virtues be blessed
I did not come to you at this hour
Except to hear from you what I heard
And God knows that I am not weak or weak
He is the martyr Ali
I did not do what I did out of love for the world and its adornment
Rather, it is out of God’s anger that His sacred things are made permissible
And here is the past to what you love
So I was killed
Don't be sad for me
Surrender your command to God
she said
I would only feel sad for you if you were killed unjustly
He said
Be confident that your son never intended to commit evil
Never commit an obscene act
It did not happen according to God’s will
He was not left safe
He did not intend to oppress a Muslim or a Muslim institute
Nothing was more preferable to him than the satisfaction of God Almighty
I don't say that as a recommendation for myself
God knows better than me
But I said it to bring solace to your heart
And she said
Praise be to God who made you do what he loves and is loved
Come closer to me, son
To smell your scent and touch your body
This may be your last time
Abdullah placed her on her hands and feet, spreading them wide open
She moved her nose to his head, face and neck
She sniffs him and kisses him
She let her hands feel his body
Then she quickly turned them away from him while saying:
What is this that you are wearing, Abdullah?
He said
My shield
she said
What is this, my son, the dress of someone who wants martyrdom?
He said
You wore it to make you feel good and calm your heart
she said
Take it off you
That is more protective of you
And sayings and your steadfastness
And lighter for your movement
But he wore double trousers instead
Even if you fall asleep, your private parts will not be exposed
Abdullah bin Al-Zubair removed his armor
He pulled his pants on him
And the disadvantages of the sanctuary to continue fighting, he says
Do not stop praying for me, O nation
So she raised her palms to the sky while saying:
May God have mercy on the length of his standing and the intensity of his wailing in the dark of the night
And people are sleeping
Oh God, have mercy on his hunger and thirst during the hot days of Medina and Mecca while he is fasting
May God have mercy on his father and mother
Oh God, I have surrendered him to your command
I was satisfied with what I decided for him
So give me the reward of the patient
The sun did not set that day
Except that Abdullah bin Al-Zubayr had joined his Lord
Only ten days had passed since his death
Except that his mother, Asmaa bint Wabi Bakr, had joined him
She was one hundred years old
She did not lose any tooth or molar
Nothing escaped her mind
Asma lived for a hundred years
She did not lose any tooth or molar
Nothing escaped her mind
Historians
She did not lose a tooth
