Among the aesthetic beauties of the Prophetic biography (Seerah)
0:05
Is the gentleness of marital life
0:12
You might be astonished when you hear of a man of great stature and heavy responsibilities
0:17
Practicing kindness with his family
0:20
Bringing joy to them as a form of relaxation and relief
0:24
For marriage, being a pasture of beauty and a garden of intimacy
0:29
Was not a place for absolute sternness or rigid seriousness
0:34
Where the poor wife is deprived of the pleasures of life
0:38
Or the enjoyment of occasional lightheartedness
0:41
Therefore, here is a lesson from the lessons of good companionship
0:45
It came in a hadith narrated by 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her
0:50
That she was with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, on a journey
0:56
She said
0:57
I raced him
0:58
And I beat him on foot
1:01
Then, when I gained some weight
1:03
I raced him again, and he beat me
1:06
He said
1:07
This is for that previous race
1:11
This great Prophet and supreme educator
1:14
Who had so many responsibilities
1:16
Still had time to bring comfort to his family and joy to their hearts
1:21
He would sometimes race his wife
1:24
She beat him in their younger days
1:27
Then, with the passing of time and weight gain
1:29
He returned the previous defeat to her
1:32
By Allah
1:34
Have you ever heard of such gentleness and beauty in a marital relationship?
1:39
Scholars note that this took place during one of his journeys
1:43
While he was with a caravan
1:45
He ordered them to move ahead
1:47
Then they raced each other
1:49
He was aware of his strength in both instances
1:52
Yet he remained humble and approachable with his family
1:55
And shared the rhythms of life with them
1:58
So that life might have its ups and downs
2:00
Ensuring that life continues and companionship remains pleasant
2:05
And peace
