1:38
some of the incidents that occurred between our Mother ‘A’ishah and the Prophet, peace be upon him,
1:44
and the dialogues or educational guidance they contain,
1:48
along with other lessons.
1:50
‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, held
1:53
a lofty status with the Prophet, peace be upon him,
1:58
which was manifested in his hadiths,
2:02
in his practical conduct, and in other ways.
2:05
Among these is that he, peace be upon him,
2:09
when asked by ‘Amr ibn al-‘As, may Allah be pleased with him:
2:13
“Who among the people is most beloved to you?”
2:15
He replied, “ ‘A’ishah.” (Narrated by al-Bukhari).
2:19
This is a clear declaration from him, peace be upon him,
2:23
that ‘A’ishah was the most beloved of all people to him.
2:26
Furthermore, out of his love for her, peace be upon him,
2:30
he supplicated for her with a magnificent prayer.
2:33
‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says:
2:36
“When I saw the Prophet, peace be upon him, in a cheerful mood,
2:41
I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah,
2:43
supplicate to Allah for me.’
2:45
He said:
2:46
‘O Allah, forgive ‘A’ishah her past and future sins,
2:52
and what she has hidden and what she has made public.’
2:55
‘A’ishah laughed until her head fell into her lap from joy.
3:01
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to her:
3:05
‘Does my supplication please you?’
3:07
She replied:
3:08
‘And why would your supplication not please me?’
3:11
He, peace be upon him, said:
3:14
‘By Allah, it is my supplication for my Ummah in every prayer.’
3:19
(Narrated by Ibn Hibban).
3:21
Who among us does not wish to be included in the supplication of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
3:27
which he makes for his Ummah?
3:30
And he made it a special supplication for ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
3:35
Another sign of his love, peace be upon him, for ‘A’ishah
3:40
is that he would not accept anyone causing her harm, not even with a single word.
3:46
It is stated in a hadith from ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr
3:49
that he said:
3:50
“People used to time their gifts to coincide with the day of ‘A’ishah.”
3:54
‘A’ishah said:
3:56
“My companions gathered and went to Umm Salamah,
3:59
and we said, ‘O Umm Salamah,
4:02
by Allah, people time their gifts to coincide with the day of ‘A’ishah,
4:07
and we desire the good just as ‘A’ishah desires it.
4:11
So, tell the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
4:15
to command the people to bring their gifts to him wherever he may be or wherever he turns.’ ”
4:21
She said:
4:22
“Umm Salamah mentioned this to the Prophet, peace be upon him.”
4:27
She said:
4:28
“He turned away from me.”
4:30
When he returned to me,
4:32
I mentioned it to him again,
4:34
and he turned away from me.
4:36
When I mentioned it a third time,
4:39
he said:
4:40
“O Umm Salamah,
4:42
do not harm me regarding ‘A’ishah,
4:44
for by Allah, the revelation has never come to me while I was under the covers of any woman among you except her.”
4:51
(Narrated by al-Bukhari).
4:53
And the one who brings the revelation
4:55
is Jibril, peace be upon him.
4:58
And Jibril loves ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
5:01
For he once came to the Prophet, peace be upon him,
5:06
while ‘A’ishah was by his side,
5:08
and the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said:
5:12
“O ‘A’ishah,
5:14
this is Jibril, and he is conveying peace to you.”
5:17
She replied:
5:18
“And upon him be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.”
5:22
“You see what I do not see,”
5:24
referring to the Prophet, peace be upon him.
5:27
(Narrated by al-Bukhari).
5:29
And Jibril does not love anyone
5:32
unless Allah loves them.
5:34
It is stated in a hadith from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,
5:39
that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
5:43
“When Allah loves a servant,
5:45
He calls Jibril:
5:47
‘Allah loves so-and-so, so love him.’
5:50
Then Jibril loves him,
5:52
and Jibril calls out to the inhabitants of the heavens:
5:55
‘Allah loves so-and-so, so love him.’
5:59
Then the inhabitants of the heavens love him,
6:02
and then acceptance is placed for him on earth.”
6:05
(Narrated by al-Bukhari).
6:07
Thus, Jibril’s love for ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,
6:10
stems from Allah’s love for her.
6:13
So congratulations to ‘A’ishah for the love of Allah for her,
6:17
the love of Jibril for her,
6:19
and the love of the Prophet, peace be upon him, for her.
6:24
We love those whom Allah and His Messenger love.
6:27
We love ‘A’ishah and pray for her,
6:31
we love those who love her,
6:33
and we despise those who despise her.
6:36
This is the counsel of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
6:40
to Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her.
6:43
‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, says:
6:46
“The wives of the Prophet, peace be upon him, sent
6:50
Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
6:54
to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.
6:58
She sought permission to enter while he was lying with me under my garment,
7:02
and he granted her permission.
7:04
She said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, your wives have sent me to you to ask you for fairness regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah,’ while I remained silent.”
7:15
She said: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to her, “O my daughter, do you not love what I love?”
7:25
She replied, “Yes.” He said, “Then love her.”
7:30
She said: Fatimah stood up when she heard that from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
7:37
and returned to the wives of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and informed them of what she had said,
7:44
and what the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had said to her.
7:49
They said to her, “We do not see that you have helped us in any way.
7:54
Go back to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and say to him: ‘Your wives ask you for fairness regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah.’ ”
8:04
Fatimah said, “By Allah, I will never speak to him about her again.”
8:10
(Narrated by Muslim).
8:13
O Allah, make us among those who love the wives of Your Prophet and defend their honor.
8:20
We shall continue in a future meeting, if Allah wills. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
8:27
Our Mother ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.
