 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والصلاة والسلام على سيد المرسلين سيدنا ونبينا وحبيبنا وشفيعنا وقائدنا وقرأة عيوننا سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم يا ربنا لك الحمد كما ينبغي لجلال وجهك وعظيم سلطانك اللهم افتح علي الناس وطوحة العارفين اللهم علمنا ما ينفعنا وانفعنا بما علمتنا يا أرحم الرحيمين إن شاء الله today we will talk about the second wife of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم أم المؤمنين السيد سودا بنت زمع رضي الله عنها and I would like to mention that all the sessions and it will be just a few a few words and we cannot cover the whole character of the mothers of the believers but we will talk just briefly about what we can cover so أسيد أم المؤمنين سودا بنت زمعة هي سودا بنت زمعة بنت زمعة ابني القيس ابني عبتي شمس so she is from Quraysh from ابني عامر ابني لؤي so here she is really and she is رضي الله عنها her mom is الشمس بنت قيس ابني زيدي بن عمر and her mom is from ابني عدي بن النجار which are the people of the uncles of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so this honorable mother of the believers she was married to her cousin السكران ابن عمر and the name might not be familiar but we know a very familiar name of his brother سوهيل ابن عمر and we all know that سوهيل ابن عمر was very sharp he was very wise in taking decisions he was very smart at the time of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so سودا رضي الله عنها may Allah be pleased with her she became a Muslim at the very early time of Islam and her husband followed her and they believed in her رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم so they were very good followers of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so when Quraysh was so bad to the Muslims was torturing the Muslims سودا and her husband got their share of that torture they were so harmed by the non-believers but they both were so patient and they stood fast on the right path of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and they knew that the stronger they stay they asked the stronger their belief and the stronger their iman will be in Allah سبحانه وتعالى and in سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so سودا and her husband were tortured by Quraysh and that was similar to all the Muslims at that time so as soon as سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم got the permission that the Muslims can migrate to Habashah so سودا and her husband were of the first people who migrated to Abyssin and there of course they lived under the kingdom of a very just king he was very good to the Muslims who came running away from the torture of Quraysh they went away with their religion and those people who ran away and left everything behind they left their lives, they left their homes, they left their wealth they left everything so they left everything and they traveled through the deserts day and night they traveled through the red sea until they got there into Abyssin so there they got rid of that torture that they were suffering from and when Quraysh tried to get them back the king refused to deliver them and to give them back to Quraysh but even though they were living peacefully it was not an easy life for سودا رضي الله عنها and she felt the harshness of life away from سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so what happened there in Abyssin سودا رضي الله عنها had two dreams they were amazing dreams and they both indicated that she will get married to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم so what happened what were the two dreams that she saw she saw that Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم was coming towards her in the dream and he stepped over her neck so she woke up and she immediately told her husband and he interpreted the dream that if your dream come true then I will die and you will get married to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and she was so shocked with this interpretation with this dream with the interpretation she said and without any thinking she said oh no she meant she didn't want her husband to die she was confused she didn't know what to answer actually a few days later she saw another dream she saw that the moon fell down from the sky and it fell in her lap again she woke up very surprised and she told her husband the dream so her husband said to her if this comes true then I am not going to live long I will be dying and you will be marrying Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم again so that was the same interpretation of both dreams very little and a short time passed and a second one got sick and it was a few days and he passed away so Sauda was left in Abassin by herself taking care of her children raising her children very wisely she raised them on the right path she wanted them to be very strong to have very strong faith she wanted them to be very good Muslims so that they would fulfill the prophecy of Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم that she wanted them to be coolness of an eye to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم so this is how we mothers should be raising our children we should follow this rule we should take a Sayyida and the believers Sauda رضي الله عنها as our model her only concern was to have to raise very good Muslims and in this time during this time that we are living and there are so many arrows that are thrown against Muslims but when we raise them since they are young on the right path and they see us as good models then they will have enough enough sustain that will help them when there are problems so their strong relationship with Allah سبحانه وتعالى will save them at times of calamities this is how we should raise good children that will be coolness of an eye to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم so Sayyida Sauda رضي الله عنها came back to Medina sorry came back to Mecca and then knowing a little bit about her character Sauda رضي الله عنها was a vulnerable dignified honorable lady she was a huge body she was heavy tall but she was so kind so generous so pious and she the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم married her and that happened when she was over 50 years old now let's see how that marriage happened so Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم after the death of Khadija رضي الله عنها he was alone taking care of the family and doing his duty doing the message of Allah سبحانه وتعالى so there was one of the female companions her name was Khawla bintu Hakim and she was the matchmaker for this marriage that happened so Khawla bintu Hakim was the wife of Othman ibn Mazroun very loving companions to Sayyidina Muhammad there's people who migrated and they were from the very first people who came back also to be in Makkah facing Quraish and getting the people of Makkah who did not migrate and getting them stronger and supporting them so this righteous woman Khawla bintu Hakim she knew what was happening to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم he lost his dear wife he lost his uncle he had the problem of Attaif and all of that knowing what's going on she was strong enough just to go to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and talk to him so she said يا رسول الله why you do not get married so Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said to her in a sad voice ومن بعد خديجة يا Khawla who is after Khadija يا Khawla that I can take as a wife Khawla knew how Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم feel towards Khadija so she wanted to get over this point and she said if you want there is a virgin and there is a widow she was married previously and her husband passed away and he left her her sons to take care of so she said Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said tell me who is the virgin and Khawla immediately answered she said she is the daughter of the most beloved people to you she is Aisha the daughter of Abi Bakr so Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم was silent for some time then he said who is the widow and she said سودة بن تزمع so she is the one who believed in you she followed you and she was a very righteous woman she is a very bias woman she is raising her children after her husband passed away and Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم got the feelings of mercy towards سودة knowing that she is the widow of one of his companions who with her suffered a lot until they migrated so when she came back she came back with her children and she came back to live with her father who was a very old man he was blind and he wanted to do his best to take care of his daughter and her children so that he can do a little bit just to make them forget the sorrow that they were living in so Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم had so much merciful feelings towards her and he looked at Khawla and he said go to her and mention to her that I am asking her for marriage and at that time Khawla said she suggested that he also proposed to and waits for her until she gets to the age and then he gets married so Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said and he sent Khawla to her so that she would visit her and say what she wanted so when Khawla came to the mother of believers she she said to her what Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم has sent her for and immediately without hesitation without thinking so that she said yes and she was very happy with this honor that she she had an idea about and it came through so her dreams now are fulfilled so what happened she said to her go tell my father and Khawla رضي الله عنها came to her father she went to the other room and she said to him Allah سبحانه وتعالى has blessed you with so much بركة so much blessings and he said to her what's that and she mentioned that she mentioned that محمد ابن عبد الله عبد المطلب sent me to ask to ask you for the marriage of your daughter so he said هو كفون كريم is a good match is a very blessed man is a good match but what does your friend say so she said she loved that so her father approved it and he said to her let them come and the marriage will take place in sha Allah so one of her brothers عبد الله من زمع was not a Muslim yet so when he found out that her sister got married to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم that his sister got married to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم he took some dirt and he put it on his head and he was so upset why would that happen but later on when he became a Muslim he said oh my god how ridiculous I was just to put that dirt on my head and because the best of the people get married to my sister so he was making fun of himself how he did that so سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم he lived with سودة رضي الله عنه and he lived three years with her so one day سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم after he got married to سودة رضي الله عنه he noticed that سودة رضي الله عنه was taking it so heavily on herself that she said to him يا رسول الله I am an old lady and I don't feel the relation of a husband and a wife and he صلى الله عليه وسلم thought of enforcing her but she said يا رسول الله I would give my night توحائشة رضي الله عنه and just to keep me as your wife so when I die and when I am resurrected in the next life I will be resurrected as your wife and سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم agreed to that and that was actually of a wisdom and how smart she was to do that now we said that we mentioned that she was an old lady a heavy lady but she was a funny lady the only thing that would make her happy was to find a smile on the face of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم her beloved so she would she has so that lady this say the say the she was a light hearted woman despite the heaviness of her movement she she was a funny woman and so her wit we will talk about that so one time سيد حفص and سيد عائشة wanted to tease her and they knew that she was always so scared and so afraid of the دجال the antichrist and one day سيد حفص رضي الله عنها and سيد عائشة رضي الله عنها the two wives of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so they wanted to to tease the say the رضي الله عنها so they kept talking to her about the until she was so scared and she ran away and she hid in a place that was not used for some time so حفص رضي الله عنها where they were laughing and سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم when she got in into the house and he saw them laughing and he said hey what's going on what have you done so they both told told him what they did and what they said to صودة and how she ran away so when she and صودة knew that سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم when she felt which she heard his voice and felt that he is here so she said هل يأتي هل يأتي so he said no so she was happy and she came out of the place she she hid in and she was just getting her cleaning herself of the spider webs that she got over her so this was her whip and her love to سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she always wanted him to be happy she would do her best always to say anything that would make him happy one time he was praying at night and she followed him so she said it was a long prayer so سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she met Allah and she when she finished she said I was holding my nose so that it doesn't bleed and of course she wanted just to make it in a funny way that you made it so long سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she was laughing she was smiling and that would make her so happy if we are to talk about an important thing so during her life we said she lived about three years with سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم before he got married again and with all the events that happened during these three years with everything that happened سودة رطي الله وعنها she narrated only five حديث to سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and the صحابة the companions narrated through her they got the chain through her through these five حديث so one time she and that was during the the Hajj of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and when سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم went to Hajj he got all his wives with him and when they were in مزدليفة سودة رطي الله وعنها being heavy and her movement is a little slow so she asked permission from سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم that she would go back before people would go back so سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم asked it not best just to take her and to take a few older ladies also older people just to take them before everyone else another حديث that she narrated she said so on the day of judgment people will be resurrected naked they will be covered with sweat and according to their deeds but she said يا رسول الله will anybody look at each other we will be naked so سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said لكل مريئ منهم يوم اذن شأن يغني for that day that day every man will be matter adequate for himself so no one would be thinking of anybody else no one would be looking at anyone else everyone will say everyone want to be saved everyone is afraid of what's going to happen on that day so no one will be looking at each other another حديث that was narrated by أم المؤمنين رضي الله عنها that سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said if a sheep died before sluttering it then the meat would be it's not that meat so that meat should be thrown away but the skin the skin can be benefited from so you can just tan the skin and use it and this was the حديث another حديث was that one time a man came to سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and he said my father is an old person and he cannot go to Hajj he is very old he is very weak he cannot go to Hajj so سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said to the man if your father has a debt so he got money from someone and you know that he cannot give it back and if you pay it will that be accepted by the other man he said yes so سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said الله سبحانه وتعالى is the most merciful جعن أبيق do make Hajj with the intention of your father so do it instead of your father with the intention that you are doing it for your father سبحان الله these were some of the points that سيد سودة رضي الله عنها هاد with سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and now if we want to go a little further we can talk about how generous السيد سودة was so there are so many narrations that would talk about how أم المؤمنين سودة رضي الله عنها was she was very generous she was a giver and she would give a lot of صدق one time سيد ناومر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنها after so he sent her غيرارة and the غيرارة is a pot that the money that food will be put in so he instead of the money he put money he put دراهم in that pot and she said so he sent that money to سودة رضي الله عنها so she asked what is this and they told her it's money that سيد ناومر رضي الله عنها sent to you so she said did he put it in a pot like the one that we use for dates and and she did not keep one single piece of that money she gave it all to the poor people so سيد ناومر رضي الله عنها was one of the most generous ladies one of the most generous females female companions one of the most generous mother of the believers in at the time during her life and of course she was a very loving wife to her husband she just wanted to comfort him she took care of him and his family when she got married she was very loved by عائشة رضي الله عنها and سيد عائشة رضي الله عنها said about her that she is the only woman I would love her company and I would love to learn from she سيد عائشة love سيدة سودة رضي الله عنها so سبحان الله يعني with these of course we mentioned how سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was about to divorce her but she said يا رسول الله keep me and with this سبحان الله الله سبحانه وتعالى sent our revealed ayahs of the Quran he revealed ayah ayah 129 and in in this ayah that الله سبحانه وتعالى revealed so she said الله سبحانه وتعالى so instead of before seeing her she gave her night to and that was a type of settlement between the husband and the wife and of course out of this so many rulings are taken and this was the ayah that الله سبحانه وتعالى has revealed about سيدة أم المؤمنين سودة رضي الله عنها and it is now talking about her death سودة رضي الله عنها the honorable lady died in المدين المنورة and that was around the end of the time of caliphate of سيدنا سيدنا عمر رضي الله عنها سيدنا عمر رضي الله عنه and with this she fulfilled her wish that she died as one of the mothers of the believers and that when they are resurrected when everyone is resurrected she will be resurrected as one of the mothers of the believers so with this with this it was just a very quick overview on the character of سيدة أم المؤمنين سيدة سودة رضي الله عنها اللهم يا أرحم الرحمين جعلها قدوة لنا we ask الله سبحانه وتعالى to make her as a model for us she's a school we can learn a lot from أم المؤمنين سودة رضي الله عنها we can learn how we can as women be good wives to our husbands righteous good wives whose aim is to please their husbands to make their husbands happy when when the husband and wife are happy then the family is happy and when families are happy then the society is happy and when when everyone is happy then there will be productive society there will be Islamic
