0:16
I am one of the female Companions who migrated.
0:21
I am one of the Mothers of the Believers.
0:24
I am the fourth wife of the noble Messenger, peace be upon him.
0:27
I am the daughter of the second Caliph of the Muslims.
0:30
I was known for my eloquence and rhetorical skill.
0:33
I embraced Islam in Makkah alongside my father.
0:36
I married Khunays ibn Hudhafah al-Sahmi, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:41
He had also embraced Islam early on.
0:44
Before the Messenger, peace be upon him, entered the house of al-Arqam.
0:49
I migrated with my husband, Khunays, to Madinah.
0:54
He was wounded at the Battle of Uhud.
0:56
He passed away shortly thereafter.
0:58
I became a widow.
1:00
This weighed heavily upon my father.
1:03
He wanted to console me.
1:06
He began searching for a righteous husband for me.
1:09
His choice fell upon Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with him.
1:14
He went to him and proposed that he marry me.
1:18
Uthman replied, "I have no desire to marry at this time."
1:23
Then he offered me to Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him.
1:27
Abu Bakr remained silent.
1:29
He did not return with an answer.
1:31
My father was overcome with distress.
1:33
He felt hurt by Abu Bakr’s reaction.
1:36
We remained in that state for several nights.
1:40
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, asked my father for my hand in marriage.
1:45
We were overjoyed.
1:47
My father gave me to him in marriage.
1:49
Later, Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, came.
1:52
He apologized to my father and said:
1:55
"Nothing prevented me from marrying your daughter when you offered her to me."
2:00
"Except that I knew the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had mentioned her."
2:06
"And I could not disclose his secret."
2:09
"Had he, peace be upon him, left her, I would have accepted."
2:16
I was a woman of intense jealousy.
2:19
It was difficult for me to control myself.
2:22
This was the reason for my divorce.
2:25
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, divorced me once.
2:31
I was overcome with grief and began to weep.
2:34
This was a great burden upon my father.
2:37
Then Gabriel, peace be upon him, came to the Prophet, peace be upon him.
2:42
He said to him:
2:44
"Allah commands you to take her back."
2:47
"For she is one who fasts often and prays much at night."
2:50
"And she is your wife in Paradise."
2:53
After the passing of the Messenger, peace be upon him.
2:58
The Wars of Apostasy took place.
3:00
Many of the Qur'an reciters died.
3:03
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, compiled the Mushaf.
3:06
So that the Qur'an would not be lost with the death of those who had memorized it.
3:10
Then the Mushaf came to my father.
3:13
Upon his death, he entrusted me with the preservation of the Mushaf.
3:17
It came into my possession.
3:19
This original Mushaf remained with me.
3:22
Until Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, requested it from me.
