WEBVTT 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:12.140 Pause and reflect upon the Companions, the scholars, and the prominent figures. 00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.140 A new challenge: who am I? 00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:22.699 I am the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 00:00:22.699 --> 00:00:25.699 I am the third in birth order among his daughters. 00:00:25.699 --> 00:00:30.859 I was born in Makkah six years before the Prophetic mission. 00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:35.859 I embraced Islam alongside my mother, Khadijah, may Allah be pleased with her, when she embraced it. 00:00:35.859 --> 00:00:39.859 I was besieged in the Shi'b with the Banu Hashim when they were besieged. 00:00:39.859 --> 00:00:43.859 I pledged allegiance to my father when the women pledged allegiance to him. 00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:47.899 And when he, peace be upon him, migrated to Madinah, 00:00:47.899 --> 00:00:52.899 He sent Zayd Ibn Harithah, may Allah be pleased with him, to bring us. 00:00:52.899 --> 00:00:54.899 So I migrated with them. 00:00:54.899 --> 00:01:00.859 My father married me to his cousin, 'Utaybah Ibn Abi Lahab. 00:01:00.859 --> 00:01:07.859 When Allah the Exalted revealed in condemnation of Abu Lahab and his wife His words in Surah al-Masad: 00:01:07.859 --> 00:01:14.239 “The power of Abu Lahab will perish, and he will perish.” (111:1) 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:20.239 “His wealth and gains will not exempt him.” (111:2) 00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:24.239 “He will be plunged in flaming Fire,” (111:3) 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:29.239 "And his wife, the carrier of firewood," 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:35.359 "Around her neck is a rope of twisted fiber." 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:40.359 At that time, Abu Lahab forced his son 'Utaybah to divorce me. 00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.420 He had not yet consummated the marriage with me. 00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:48.420 'Utaybah came to my father, peace be upon him, and said to him: 00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:52.420 "I disbelieve in your religion and I have parted with your daughter." 00:01:52.420 --> 00:01:55.579 "You do not love me, and I do not love you." 00:01:55.579 --> 00:01:58.579 Then he assaulted him with his hand and his tongue. 00:01:58.579 --> 00:02:00.620 Then he left. 00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:03.620 My father invoked a curse upon him, saying: 00:02:03.620 --> 00:02:09.159 "I ask Allah to set upon you a dog from among His dogs." 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:15.159 Later, 'Utaybah set out in a trade caravan with his companions to the Levant. 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.159 When they were on the road, 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.159 They heard the roar of a lion. 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.159 'Utaybah became terrified. 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.159 His limbs began to tremble. 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.159 They asked him, "What are you afraid of?" 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:32.159 He said, "Muhammad has invoked a curse upon me," 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:34.159 "And his supplication is never rejected." 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:39.319 They said to him, "Do not worry, we will protect you." 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.319 When they felt reassured that the lion had gone, 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.319 They slept and surrounded 'Utaybah. 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.319 They placed him in their midst. 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.319 Then the lion came. 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:52.319 It sniffed all of their heads, 00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.319 Until it reached 'Utaybah. 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.500 It crushed his head and finished him off. 00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:00.500 In Madinah, 00:03:00.500 --> 00:03:04.500 My father married me to 'Uthman Ibn 'Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, 00:03:04.500 --> 00:03:06.500 After the death of his first wife, 00:03:06.500 --> 00:03:09.500 Who was the sister of the one who is older than me. 00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:12.500 And he, peace be upon him, said: 00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:17.500 "I did not marry 'Uthman to her except by revelation from heaven." 00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:20.729 I remained with him for six years, 00:03:20.729 --> 00:03:25.729 Until my death reached me in the ninth year after the Hijrah. 00:03:25.729 --> 00:03:28.979 I was twenty-seven years old. 00:03:28.979 --> 00:03:33.979 When the news of my death reached my father, peace be upon him, 00:03:33.979 --> 00:03:36.020 He grieved for me. 00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:40.020 Then he said to the women who were washing me: 00:03:40.020 --> 00:03:44.020 "Wash her an odd number of times—three or five," 00:03:44.020 --> 00:03:46.020 "With water and lotus leaves," 00:03:46.020 --> 00:03:51.020 "And put camphor, or something of camphor, in the final wash." 00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:53.020 "When you have finished," 00:03:53.020 --> 00:03:55.020 "Inform me." 00:03:55.020 --> 00:03:58.020 When they washed me, they informed him. 00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:00.020 He gave them his waist-wrapper, 00:04:00.020 --> 00:04:06.020 Which is the garment he, peace be upon him, would tie around his waist. 00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:09.020 And he said, "Shroud her in it." 00:04:09.020 --> 00:04:13.020 Meaning, place it directly against her skin. 00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:18.110 Then he, peace be upon him, prayed over me himself. 00:04:18.110 --> 00:04:22.110 And he sat by my grave with his eyes shedding tears. 00:04:22.110 --> 00:04:24.459 So, who am I? 00:04:24.459 --> 00:04:32.399 Share your answers with us in the
