The story of our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her
The hardship of Hajj and Umrah
Hajj rituals must be tiring
This fatigue does not go away from this worship
Today, some have tried to turn Hajj into a tourist trip without fatigue
Hajj was stripped of its meanings
They were unable to preserve the guidance of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
They performed a Hajj other than the one the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, did
Devoid of feelings and spirituality
They lost many of the great meanings in this great ritual
He was raised by the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, to our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her
He explained to her that the reward for performing rituals is linked to the expense and hardship that stems from its performance
And he said
But it is according to your expense or burden
What is your reward for this?
As much as you are tired and hard at work during Umrah
Or your expense in doing so
The hardship here is not intended for its own sake
Rather, it is one of the requirements for performing rituals
It is inherent in him
This is what you need
This is a general rule in all acts of worship, the performance of which is associated with inescapable hardship
The reward is proportional to the hardship
I'm waiting for you here
Events of the Prophet’s biography related to the House of Prophethood
This clearly indicates the great status of our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her
With the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
And this is one of them
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
When Abdul Rahman ordered
To take our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her
To soften to age
He told them he wouldn't move
Until they reach it
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and those with him in the Hajj caravan that came from Medina were ready to return
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, ordered the people to wait until our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, had finished her Umrah, then they would set off for Medina.
The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said to our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, “Go with your brother to Tan’eem and marry his family, then your appointment will be in such-and-such a place.”
He said to her brother, Abd al-Rahman, “Take your sister out of the Haram, let her perform Umrah, then circumambulate the Kaaba, then finish your circumambulation, for I am waiting for you here.”
This is not the first time that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, imprisoned people on a trip for the sake of our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her.
Rather, this happened on another trip when I lost the necklace and people were imprisoned to search for the necklace and the verse on tayammum was revealed and it was counted among the blessings of the family of Abu Bakr upon the people.
On the way to Umrah al-Tanaim, Abdul Rahman bin Abi Bakr, may God be pleased with him, responded to what the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, commanded him to do.
So he mounted our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, on his camel, and he set off with her to Al-Tan’im and Al-Ridaf, putting her behind him on the camel.
This is permissible with mahrams, provided that the buttocks do not press the bodies together
Our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, at that time was young, approximately seventeen years old, as she says about herself, may God be pleased with her
I remember that when I was a young slave girl, I became drowsy and my face affected the back of my backpack, and there is nothing strange about her drowsiness
The time at which I moved to perform Umrah was at night, which is the time for sleep and rest, according to the custom of people at all times
She also explained that she was young, even though it was late at night and at a time when lights were not common
Our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, was walking with her brother alone, and the weather was hot
However, the jealousy of the great companion Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr over her was great, saying, “Our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her.”
So I started to lift my veil from my neck, and he hit my leg with a saddlebag. I said to him, “Do you see anyone?”
The meaning is that he hits her leg with a whip, stick, or something else when her veil reveals her neck out of jealousy for her
So she says to him, “Do you see anyone?” That is, we are in the middle of nowhere, and there is no foreigner here that I can hide from
This is the Companion’s jealousy over his mahrams in the desert and at night when no one is there
So what about some men today who allow their wives, daughters, and mahrams to reveal their bodies in front of the eyes of all people?
So, my sister, be aware of the need for your guardian or your husband to be jealous during Hajj, so do not do things that arouse his jealousy, even if they are permissible.
A man's jealousy is something to be thanked for, and it is a sign of his manhood
You should also tolerate any anger or raising your voice because of his jealousy over you
Our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, performed Umrah from Tan’eem
When our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, arrived at Tan’im, she performed the ihram for Umrah alone, and her brother Abdul Rahman did not perform the ihram for Umrah.
Our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, says, “Until we came to Tan’im.”
So she performed the Umrah from it as a recompense for the Umrah of the people who had performed Umrah, then she circumambulated the House, Safa, and Marwah.
Then she cut her hair, thus ending her Umrah. She came out of ihram and returned to her lover with a good soul
She had fulfilled her wish
This Umrah was performed by our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, after all the Hajj activities were completed
The days of Tashreeq ended, as our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, told us
She said, “When we had completed the Hajj, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, sent me with Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr to al-Tan’im.”
So I performed Umrah and he said, “This is the place for your Umrah.”
When our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, completed her Umrah rituals
I returned to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
He had dated her and specified the place for her by saying, “Then we will come to such and such a place.”
This place he referred to is Al-Muhasab, which is at the top of Mecca
Our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, said
Then I went out with him with the other group until Al-Muhasab came down and we went down with him
So he called Abdul Rahman bin Abi Bakr and said
Take your sister out of the sanctuary
Let him perform Umrah and then finish
Then bring her here
I will wait until you come to me
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, waited for her at the top of Mecca until she came
Our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, says
Then we continued until we reached the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, who was suffering from measles
The time for our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, to return from Umrah was the end of the night, the time of dawn
Our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her, says: Then I brought him magic, and he said: Have you finished? So I said yes
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, waited for it without boredom, and when it arrived, it was a beautiful statement
Are you done? He did not say you were late, nor did he express any boredom about her going to Umrah
Rather, he showed apparent love for her, and in fact, may God bless him and grant him peace, he increased her beautiful morals and good interactions with her.
If he said to her, “This is the place of your Umrah” to make her happy and reassure herself
Because she only asked for Umrah to be equal to those of her wives and companions who performed Umrah
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, reassured her by saying:
This is the place of your Umrah, i.e. in compensation for your previous Umrah
