of the Shari‘ah 219 00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:41,430 were transmitted from her, may Allah be pleased with her. 220 00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:44,579 Her virtues, 221 00:07:44,579 --> 00:07:46,579 may Allah be pleased with her. 222 00:07:46,579 --> 00:07:48,839 For the Mother of the Believers, ‘A’ishah, 223 00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:50,839 may Allah be pleased with her, 224 00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:52,839 there are numerous virtues, 225 00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:54,839 about which independent works 226 00:07:54,839 --> 00:07:56,939 have been authored. 227 00:07:56,939 --> 00:07:58,939 Among her general virtues 228 00:07:58,939 --> 00:08:00,939 are those mentioned regarding the merit of the Companions, 229 00:08:00,939 --> 00:08:02,939 the family of the Messenger of Allah, 230 00:08:02,939 --> 00:08:04,939 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 231 00:08:04,939 --> 00:08:06,939 his wives, 232 00:08:06,939 --> 00:08:08,939 and the Muhajirun. 233 00:08:08,939 --> 00:08:10,939 As for her specific virtues, 234 00:08:10,939 --> 00:08:12,939 among them 235 00:08:12,939 --> 00:08:14,939 is the greeting of Jibril, 236 00:08:14,939 --> 00:08:17,160 peace be upon him, to her. 237 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,160 On the authority of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, 238 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,160 she said: 239 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,160 "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said 240 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,160 one day: 241 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,160 'O ‘A’ish, 242 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,160 this is Jibril, he conveys 243 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,160 peace to you.' 244 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,159 I replied: 'And upon him be peace 245 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:35,159 and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.' 246 00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:37,159 You see what I do not see." 247 00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:39,509 Secondly, 248 00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:41,509 she is among the perfect 249 00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:43,929 women. 250 00:08:43,929 --> 00:08:45,929 On the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari, may Allah be pleased with him, 251 00:08:45,929 --> 00:08:47,929 he said: 252 00:08:47,929 --> 00:08:49,929 "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 253 00:08:49,929 --> 00:08:51,929 'Many among 254 00:08:51,929 --> 00:08:53,929 men have attained perfection, 255 00:08:53,929 --> 00:08:55,929 but none among women have attained perfection 256 00:08:55,929 --> 00:08:57,929 except Maryam bint ‘Imran 257 00:08:57,929 --> 00:08:59,929 and Asiyah, 258 00:08:59,929 --> 00:09:01,929 the wife of Pharaoh. 259 00:09:01,929 --> 00:09:03,929 And the superiority of ‘A’ishah over women 260 00:09:03,929 --> 00:09:05,929 is like the superiority of tharid 261 00:09:05,929 --> 00:09:07,929 over all other food.'" 262 00:09:07,929 --> 00:09:10,250 Thirdly, 263 00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:14,250 the revelation descended upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 264 00:09:14,250 --> 00:09:16,250 while he was under her cover, 265 00:09:16,250 --> 00:09:18,250 unlike any of his other wives. 266 00:09:18,250 --> 00:09:20,409 On the authority of ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, 267 00:09:20,409 --> 00:09:22,409 he said: 268 00:09:22,409 --> 00:09:24,409 "People used to time 269 00:09:24,409 --> 00:09:26,409 their gifts for the day of ‘A’ishah." 270 00:09:26,409 --> 00:09:28,539 ‘A’ishah said: 271 00:09:28,539 --> 00:09:30,539 "My companions gathered 272 00:09:30,539 --> 00:09:32,539 and went to Umm Salamah 273 00:09:32,539 --> 00:09:34,539 and said: 'O Umm Salamah, 274 00:09:34,539 --> 00:09:36,539 by Allah, the people 275 00:09:36,539 --> 00:09:38,539 time their gifts 276 00:09:38,539 --> 00:09:40,539 for the day of ‘A’ishah, 277 00:09:40,539 --> 00:09:42,539 and we desire the good 278 00:09:42,539 --> 00:09:44,539 just as ‘A’ishah desires it. 279 00:09:44,539 --> 00:09:46,539 So tell the Messenger of Allah, 280 00:09:46,539 --> 00:09:48,539 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 281 00:09:48,539 --> 00:09:50,539 to command the people to bring their gifts 282 00:09:50,539 --> 00:09:52,539 to him wherever he may be, 283 00:09:52,539 --> 00:09:54,539 or wherever he turns.'" 284 00:09:54,539 --> 00:09:56,539 She said: 285 00:09:56,539 --> 00:09:58,539 "So Umm Salamah mentioned that 286 00:09:58,539 --> 00:10:00,539 to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him." 287 00:10:00,539 --> 00:10:02,539 She said: 288 00:10:02,539 --> 00:10:04,539 "He turned away from me. 289 00:10:04,539 --> 00:10:06,539 When he returned to me, 290 00:10:06,539 --> 00:10:08,539 I mentioned it to him, 291 00:10:08,539 --> 00:10:10,539 and he turned away from me. 292 00:10:10,539 --> 00:10:12,539 When it was the third time, 293 00:10:12,539 --> 00:10:14,539 I mentioned it to him, 294 00:10:14,539 --> 00:10:16,539 and he said: 295 00:10:16,539 --> 00:10:18,539 'O Umm Salamah, 296 00:10:18,539 --> 00:10:20,539 do not hurt me regarding ‘A’ishah, 297 00:10:20,539 --> 00:10:22,539 for by Allah, revelation has never descended 298 00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:24,539 upon me while I was under the cover 299 00:10:24,539 --> 00:10:26,539 of any woman among you, except her.'" 300 00:10:26,539 --> 00:10:28,700 Fourthly, 301 00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,700 she was the most beloved of the wives of the Messenger of Allah, 302 00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:32,700 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 303 00:10:32,700 --> 00:10:34,820 to him. 304 00:10:34,820 --> 00:10:36,820 On the authority of ‘Amr ibn al-‘As, may Allah be pleased with him, 305 00:10:36,820 --> 00:10:38,820 that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 306 00:10:38,820 --> 00:10:40,820 sent him on the expedition 307 00:10:40,820 --> 00:10:42,820 of Dhat al-Salasil. 308 00:10:42,820 --> 00:10:44,889 I came to him and said: 309 00:10:44,889 --> 00:10:46,889 "Which of the people is most beloved 310 00:10:46,889 --> 00:10:48,889 to you?" 311 00:10:48,889 --> 00:10:50,889 He said: "‘A’ishah." 312 00:10:50,889 --> 00:10:52,950 I said: "Among men?" 313 00:10:52,950 --> 00:10:54,950 He said: "Her father." 314 00:10:54,950 --> 00:10:56,950 I said: "Then 315 00:10:56,950 --> 00:10:58,950 who?" 316 00:10:58,950 --> 00:11:00,950 He said: "‘Umar ibn al-Khattab." 317 00:11:00,950 --> 00:11:03,299 ‘A’ishah said, 318 00:11:03,299 --> 00:11:05,299 may Allah be pleased with her: 319 00:11:05,299 --> 00:11:07,299 "I was granted qualities 320 00:11:07,299 --> 00:11:09,299 that no other woman was granted: 321 00:11:09,299 --> 00:11:11,299 The Messenger of Allah, 322 00:11:11,299 --> 00:11:13,299 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 323 00:11:13,299 --> 00:11:15,299 married me when I was seven, 324 00:11:15,299 --> 00:11:17,299 and the angel brought my image to him 325 00:11:17,299 --> 00:11:19,299 in his palm so he could look 326 00:11:19,299 --> 00:11:21,299 at it, and he married 327 00:11:21,299 --> 00:11:23,299 me at nine. 328 00:11:23,299 --> 00:11:25,299 I saw Jibril, 329 00:11:25,299 --> 00:11:27,299 and I was the most beloved of his wives 330 00:11:27,299 --> 00:11:29,299 to him. 331 00:11:29,299 --> 00:11:31,299 He was pleased with me, then he passed away, 332 00:11:31,299 --> 00:11:33,299 and others besides me and the angels witnessed it. 333 00:11:33,299 --> 00:11:35,299 He did not marry a virgin 334 00:11:35,299 --> 00:11:37,299 other than me. 335 00:11:37,299 --> 00:11:39,299 And both of the woman's parents 336 00:11:39,299 --> 00:11:41,299 were Muhajirun, except for me. 337 00:11:41,299 --> 00:11:43,299 And Allah sent down my exoneration 338 00:11:43,299 --> 00:11:45,340 from the heavens. 339 00:11:45,340 --> 00:11:47,340 Revelation used to descend upon him 340 00:11:47,340 --> 00:11:49,340 while he was with me. 341 00:11:49,340 --> 00:11:51,340 He used to pray while I was 342 00:11:51,340 --> 00:11:53,340 lying across in front of him. 343 00:11:53,340 --> 00:11:55,340 And he passed away between my chest 344 00:11:55,340 --> 00:11:57,340 and my throat in my house, 345 00:11:57,340 --> 00:11:59,340 and on my night." 346 00:11:59,340 --> 00:12:01,590 Her

peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 350 00:12:07,779 --> 00:12:09,779 and bringing him happiness, 351 00:12:09,779 --> 00:12:11,779 and benefiting the Ummah 352 00:12:11,779 --> 00:12:13,779 with her knowledge and her legal opinions, 353 00:12:13,779 --> 00:12:15,779 the messenger of her Lord came to her 354 00:12:15,779 --> 00:12:17,779 to transition 355 00:12:17,779 --> 00:12:19,779 from the worldly life 356 00:12:19,779 --> 00:12:21,779 to the afterlife. 357 00:12:21,779 --> 00:12:23,940 She died in the year 358 00:12:23,940 --> 00:12:25,940 58 AH, 359 00:12:25,940 -->
