In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
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
Al-Ghumisa bint Milhan, may God be pleased with her
Al-Ghumisa was the daughter of Malhan
When Islam spread its light on earth
Nasfa is approaching forty years of age
Her husband was Malik bin Al-Nadhar
He bestows upon her His abundant love and the shade of His affection
What filled her life with insight and happiness
The people of Yathrib were happy with the happy husband
For his wife's clear-headedness
After consideration and good judgment
And on one of God's eternal days
He went to Yathrib with the Meccan preacher Musab bin Umair
The first ray of Muhammad's guidance
So the heart of Al-Ghumisa opens for him
Riyadh's flowers also bloom to herald the morning
She soon declared her conversion to Islam
The day the Muslims in Medina were counted on their fingers
Then the loyal wife called her beloved husband
To drink with her from this sweet and pure divine source
May he enjoy the happiness of faith that you have enjoyed
But Malik Ibn Al-Nazar
He did not explain the new religion
And he was not pleased with him
In fact, he called on his wife in return to abandon Islam
And returning to the religion of our fathers and grandfathers
Both spouses stuck to their position
Al-Ghumisaa hates to return to disbelief after believing
What a person hates is being thrown into the fire
Malik stubbornly adheres to the religion of his fathers and grandfathers
She was the fool
She has the strength of the argument to speak against her husband
There was a light of truth in her calling
What exposes his flimsy and incoherent falsehood
Malik had a wooden idol
He worships him instead of God
She was arguing with him about his matter, saying:
Worship the trunk of a tree that grows in the ground you tread on
And throw your waste into it
Do you pray for a piece of wood that we will drag for you, an Ethiopian from the craftsmen of Medina?
When the husband was fed up with his wife's compelling arguments
He left the city
He went on his way, heading towards the Levant
Then he did not stay there for a while until he died as a result of his polytheism
As soon as news spread in the city about Al-Ghumisa’s demise
So many men are eager to marry her
Had they not been afraid that you would return them disappointed
Because of the difference between them in religion
However, Zaid bin Sahl called Abu Talha
He coveted her satisfaction with him due to the close ties that existed between them
Both of them are from Bin Al-Najjar
Abu Talha went to Al-Ghumisa's house
He addressed her by her nickname, saying:
O Umm Salim, I have come to you with a suitor
I hope I will not respond disappointed
She said, “By God, there is no one like you who can respond, Abu Talha.”
But you are an infidel man and I am a Muslim woman
It is not permissible for me to marry you
If he accepts it, that is my dowry
I do not want any friendship from you other than Islam
He said, “Leave me to look into my matter,” and he left
The next day, he returned to her and said:
I bear witness that there is no god but God alone, without partners
I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger
She said, “But you have converted to Islam.”
I have accepted you as a husband
So he made people say
We have never heard of a woman
She was a more generous foal than Umm Salim
Her dowry was Islam
Yes, Abu Talha was as good as Umm Salim was
From Karim Al-Shamael and Nabil Al-Khasael
Then he was happier with it because it was given to him
A boy who became the apple of his eye and the joy of his heart
But while he was preparing for one of his travels
The little boy complained of an illness that befell him
He was greatly alarmed
It almost distracted him from traveling
And in his short absence, those with the opposite branch
Then he was buried
Umm Salim said to her family:
Do not tell Abu Talha about his son's death
Until I tell him
Abu Talha returned from his trip
So Umm Salim received it Hasha Basha
Exciting joy
So he asked her about the boy
She said let him
For now I dwell on what I have known
Then she brought dinner to him
She made him feel comfortable and brought joy to his heart
When I found that he was satisfied and rested
She told him
O Abu Talha!
What do you think, if some people got back a naked woman, they lent it to others?
Do they have the right to step on them and prevent them from doing so?
He said no
She said that God took back from you what he gave
So count your son with him
Abu Talha received God's judgment with satisfaction and submission
And when it became
Tomorrow to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He told him about what happened to Umm Salim
He prayed for him and her that God would compensate them with something better than what they lost
And bless them in return
So God Almighty answered the supplication of His Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
Umm Salim became pregnant
When she completed her pregnancy
She was returning to the city from travel
She and her husband are with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
When they approached Yathrib
She went into labor
Abu Talha stopped with her
The Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, passed away
He wants to enter the city before night falls
Abu Talha raised his eyes to the sky and said
You know, Lord
I would like to go out with your messenger when he goes out
And to enter with him if he enters
What you see prevented me from doing that
Umm Salim said to him
O Abu Talha!
By God, I do not feel the pain of labor with this baby
What I was finding before
So he set off with us
Do not be late in the company of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
So he set off until he reached Medina and she gave birth
So he was a boy
She said to those around her
No one should breastfeed him before you take him to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
When it became
His brother Anas bin Malik carried it to him
When the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, saw him coming
He said that Umm Salim may have given birth
He said: Yes, O Messenger of God
He put the boy on his lap
So he was called Ajwa from Ajju of the city
He put it in his honorable mouth until it melted
And put it in the boy's mouth
So he started licking it
Then he wiped his face with his generous hand
He named him Abdullah
From his family came ten good Islamic scholars
It was the same as Umm Salim
She loved the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
A mixture of flesh and bone
And he resides in the grain of the heart
Her love for him had reached the point of being
What her son Anas, may God be pleased with him, narrated about him, said:
He was the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Sleeping in our house one day
The heat was intense
Sweat started dripping from his forehead
Then my mother came with a bottle
And made the race prevail in it
Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, woke up
He said, “What are you doing, Umm Salim?”
She said this is your race
Collect it and put it in our comfort
It becomes the best of good things
One of the evidences of her love for the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
They are many and plentiful
Her son Ansa had a dragonfly on his forehead
Her husband wanted her to cut it for him after it had become long
She refused
Because the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him
It was whenever Anas came to him
He wiped his head with his hand
He touched his lashes that hung on his forehead
Umm Salim’s qualities were not limited to her
However, she was a firm believer
Wise and wise
A first-class husband and mother
But it was above all that
Striving for the sake of God
Her lungs were filled with the dust of battle fragrant with the perfumes of Paradise
Her fingertips were stained by the wounds of the Mujahideen
She wipes it with her hands and applies a bandage to it
And you poured water into the throats of the thirsty
They sacrifice their lives for the sake of God
I carried provisions for them and fixed the arrows
She and her husband, Abu Talha, witnessed Uhud with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
She and Aisha, may God be pleased with them, continued to do so
To carry waterskin on their backs
And emptying it into people's mouths
Hanina also witnessed it
That day she took a dagger for herself and girded herself with it
When her husband, Abu Talha, saw him
He said, “O Messenger of God, this is Umm Salim with a dagger.”
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to her
What is this, Umm Salim?
She said dagger she took
Even if one of the polytheists approached me
It broke his stomach
So the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
He laughed happily at what she said
Do you think that it is on the surface of the earth?
A woman with the happiest happiness and brightest ending
From Umm Salim
After the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said about it
I entered heaven
Then I heard a whisper in it
So I said who is this?
They said
We have never heard of a woman
She was a more generous foal than Umm Salim
Her dowry was Islam
The people of the city
