سلطانك اللهم افتح لنا افتوح العارفين اللهم معلمنا ما ينفعنا ونفعنا بما علمتنا يا الرحمن الرحيمين today inshallah we will talk about one of the unique pearls in Islam one of the mothers of the believers سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم السيدا ميمونة بنت الحارس رضي الله عنها الله سبحانه وتعالى ريديو من صورة الأحزاب آية 50 ومرأة مؤمنة وهبت نفسها للنبيي اراد النبي يؤيس تنكحها among the lawful women that Allah counted in this Surah in Surat Al-Ahzab and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet if he wishes to marry her so this is the key point about أم المؤمنين ميمونة بنت الحارس إلينا عائشة رضي الله عنها says she talked about a seed of my moon I think she was amongst the most pious of us كانت والله اتقانا ووصلنا للرحمن and she was the most who connects her kinship so she swore about that so who is ميمونة رضي الله عنها ميمونة رضي الله عنها هي أم المؤمنين the mother of a believer she was a fearful lady of Allah سبحانه وتعالى she was a wise lady she was a noble lady she was so content with Allah سبحانه وتعالى whatever he decrees on her her name was برخ بنت الحارس and she gave her the name ميمونة which means aspecious happy, joyful, favorable because he married her in a happy during a happy event during a blessed event and that was the event of مكة to perform عمرة and that was the first time after seven years when Quraysh when they migrated from مكة because of the bad torture they received from Quraysh her mom is هند بن تعوف هند بن تعوف بن زوهير بن الحارس and it is said that she was the mother-in-law with the best sons-in-law on earth أكرم عجوز في الأرض الأصحارة how's that? who are her in-laws سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم سيدنا أبو بكر السديق رضي الله عنه سيدنا حمزة سيدنا العباس حمزة أنا العباس are the sons of عبد المطلب the uncles of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم also her in-laws are جعفر وعلي the sons of أبي طالب the cousins they are the cousins of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and there were other honorable people honorable men of Quraysh so this is أمو ميمونا the mother-in-law with the best sons-in-law on earth ميمونا's a sister is called أمو الفضل بنتو الحارف and she was the wife of العباس عبد المطلب so she was the wife of the uncle of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and she was the mother of his children and she was أمو الفضل was the first woman خديجة رضي الله عنها to announce the Shahada and that was of the woman of course so what is recognized about أمو الفضل إسلام records something very important for أمو الفضل that she hit أبو اللهب you know the enemy of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم his uncle and that was when when the people in مكة learned about the defeat of قرش in the battle of بدر أبو اللهب got so angry in here he said so many bad words and he was so angry because of that so when أمو الفضل when her servants so how what happened to أبو اللهب he got so happy at that time أبو اللهب severely that it was about to kill him when أمو الفضل so that she took one of the big sticks that was close to her and she lifted up with both hands and she hit أبو اللهب with all the power she got so she she opened his skull and he was bleeding severely and when he went home he was so humiliated he was so noisy he barely he he would be able to walk and because of that hit strong hit it was only 7 days until he got a very contagion sickness it was called and it was just a few days later that he died but because of that his sickness that he got everybody got away from him even his wife and his son so this was the first sister of أمو الفضل of ميمونا رضي الله عنها the wife of the second sister was أخوزيما and she was the wife of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and the mother the mother of the poor the mother of the needy and that was her nickname of course she just married سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم for a few months and she passed away the third of her sisters was أسمى أبن تعوميس the wife of جعفر بن أبي طالب and after جعفر رضي الله عنه passed away she married سيدنا أبو بكر رضي الله عنه and after him she married سيدنا علي the fourth of her sisters was سلمى بن تعوميس and سلمى was the wife of حمزة رضي الله عنه the uncle of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so now let's talk a little bit about سيدة ميمونا before سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and she was married from أبي روحاني بن عبد العز العامري and he passed away and she was still very young so she was a widow living next to her sister أم الفضل as the wife of العبان سبن عبد المطب she was 26 when she was we did and she decided to live her life away from the from the happiness from the attractions of this life she was so wanted by so asked for by suitors but she did not want to get married days passed, time passed years passed 6 months, 6 years passed until سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم left مكة and lived in مدينة for so many years and we know that so many battles happened and there were so many victories for سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and the the last one was the the conquering of خيبر and after سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم wanted to go to مكة and to do عمر so he went with his army with his people with the Muslims but Quraysh did not allow him and they signed a contract with him and it was called and so the treaty of حديبية and in that a treaty it was supposed that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم would go back this year with his companions and they will not perform any umrah the next year they could perform the umrah so time flies one year later سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم because they are going to مكة to perform umrah and they got there everyone of the non-believers they ran away to their homes so مكة was empty for them and the Muslims were so happy they were all crying in one voice this is what we say what we do before prayers of aid and after the prayers so the Muslims were very happy because الله سبحانه وتعالى has fulfilled the promise when he promised them in سورة الفتح آية 27 الله سبحانه وتعالى سيد لقد صدق الله رسوله الرؤية بالحق so الله سبحانه وتعالى has certainly a vision in truth لتدخلن المسجد الحرام إن شاء الله أمين so it was the a dream that that they are entering مكة so الله سبحانه وتعالى has showed his messenger that the vision is truth so you will surely enter المسجد الحرام with your wills in safety محلقين رؤوسكم ومقصرين with your heads shaved so either shaved completely or partially لا تخافون not fearing anyone فعليما ما لم تعلم so الله سبحانه وتعالى what you did not know فجعل فجعل من دون ذلك فتح قريبة الله has arrived before that a conquest near so everyone was happy to be in Mecca and they rushed to the Kaaba and they did the Tawaf سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم after that pray two rak'as at the station of Ibrahim عليه السلام and then the Muslims went out to Safa and Marwah to perform the Sa'ee so that day was not a normal day مدقى was shining with the lights of fairness with the lights of justice so those of the non-believers the few people whom they did not run away they were looking at سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and the companions while they were doing the Tawaf very happily so also the ladies were looking at the group of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and his companions also and they were so happy with what was happening so سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was promised to come back and here there he is with his companions everyone in مدقى was so happy looking at سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم of course that he's the Muslims that they were there so within this group of people who all felt so happy there was an honorable woman one of the Ladies of Quraish she was looking at everything that's happening not only with her eyes but also with her inside eyes she was bright she was looking and her mind was understanding what's happening and why it's happening what's the reason because it's happening her insight was bright because she was seeing the divine light that was pushing and that was moving all those Muslims and those Muslims who were supporting who supported their Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and everyone was so happy she was one of them that she she was happy because of Allah سبحانه وتعالى what he said in the Quran about in سورة البقرة i. 129 when he talked about the call of سيدنا إبراهيم عليه السلام when he asked when he made the prayer ربنا وبعث فيه oh Allah oh our Lord and send among them a messenger from themselves يتلو عليهم آياتك ويعلمهم الكتابة والحكمة ويزكيهم this messenger will recite to them your verses and teach them the book and wisdom and purify them إنك أنت العزيز الحكيم indeed you are the exalted in might you are the wise so this honorable lady was watching what was happening she was at one of the windows of the house of العباس ابن عبد المطلب the husband of her sister she was next to her sister she was watching سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and the companions very happily so أم الفضل at that time she got the idea of having the honor of marrying سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and of being a mother to the believers she thought about this idea again and again and she found it okay there is nothing that would prevent her from fulfilling this dream so she was next to her sister when she told him when she told her that look أم الفضل this is what I have in mind in now a second أم الفضل went to her husband العباس and she she told him about her sister's wish so سيدنا العباس went to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and he told he told him so he told his nephew that برا has given herself to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم to him and الله سبحانه وتعالى immediately revealed the idea ومرأة مؤمنة إوهبت نفسها للنبي إن أراد النبي يؤمس تيكي ههه so I believe I believe if if she gives herself to the prophet he wishes to marry her so العباس came back and his his face the features showed happiness and برضه رضي الله عنه so that happiness on العباس but he was waiting eagerly just to hear his voice his reply his answer and he told her that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she accepted her offer so with this her mom became أكرما جوز في الأرض أصهارة the the best woman in on earth to have the best mother-in-law in with the best sons-in-law on earth the three days past of this one's the how long they were to stay in Mecca what they agreed upon so these three days passed very quickly and the two two messengers of Quraish came to him to say the Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم asking him to leave with his companions سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said what about if you leave me and I will have my wedding here and we will cook food and you will share the food of course سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم wanted to gain more time in Mecca and his aim was also not only for his companions and himself but also that the non-believers will have will see them more and that will touch their hearts so they would know that they were stubborn they were envious they were hate they hated Islam but they would know that there is nothing but Islam so they refused and they said we don't need your food so just leave of course سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم fulfilled his promise and the one who was in charge just called the Muslims and asked them we are leaving and سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم left with his companions and he and they went on their way to so when they got when they left about a few miles away from Mecca it was a place called Saif so سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and got married to and he called her he changed her name from so سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم entered the house of as one of the mothers of the believers and she lived with the the other mothers of the believers she lived in her home she was so happy that الله سبحانه وتعالى has given her the honor to be of the wives of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم there was not a single event that there was a problem between her and the other mothers of the believers she was just a worshipper of Allah thanking him that الله سبحانه وتعالى has given her the honor of marrying the best of the creatures سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم when سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was on his deathbed he was at the house of سيدنا ميمون رضي الله عنه so he asked her and he asked all his wives that he is to be moved to the house of عائش رضي الله عنه and of course all of them agreed to that and سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم when he passed away ميمون رضي الله عنه lived years after him she lived worshipping الله سبحانه وتعالى she was very honest she was very kind and she she was the mother of the believers who narrated so many hadiths for سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and she asked that when she gets married she wanted to be buried in the same place where she got married to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and that was the place called as I just mentioned when she passed away رضي الله عنه in the year 51 هجري and she was eight years old her nephew سيدنا عبد الله ابن عباس led the prayer and he fulfilled her wish and she was buried in سرف so this was the last of the mothers of the believers who got married to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم who passed away and buried in the same place where she got married to him so now with the time left let me have a summary of the wives of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and we start of course with خديجة بن تهويلد رضي الله عنه سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم when people belied him she supported سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم when people opposed him she supported him emotionally and she supported him with her wealth she was the first of people to say the Shahada she was the mother of the children of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم فاطمة زينا بأرقية أم قلثوم والقاسم رضي الله عنهم جميعا she was given the glad tidings of الجنة and she got the honor of the of receiving a salam from a greeting from الله سبحانه وتعالى she passed away when she was 65 years old her death caused an illness to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she lived with him 25 years he never got married again with her and he married 3 years after her and she was buried in Al-Hajri the second wife was and she married سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم 3 years after سيدنا خديجة رضي الله عنها she was taking care of his family and she died at the time of سيدنا عمر ابن الخطاب the third of his wives was رضي الله عنها she was so loved to sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم when sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she passed away she was 18 years old she was the a very important person to go back to if there is a matter that was problematic to the Sahaba how would they solve it what would happen how they can deal with it so they would go to Allah and they would get her advice she died in Ramadan 17 of Ramadan in the year 85 and she was 67 years old then the fourth wife was رضي الله عنها سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم she got married to her and after her husband passed away in the battle of أحود he passed after her sometime because of his wounds in the battle and she was known for her knowledge for her eloquency and she narrated 60 of the Hadith of Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم she was a person who was so wise and the Sahaba would go back to her for advice also she passed when she was 60 years old in the year 45 Hijra then we have رضي الله عنها سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم married her but it was the shortest marriage for سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم because only a few months and she lived with سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم for a few months only and she died when she was 30 years old she was known and she was given the title of أم المساكين because of her kindness to the poor, the needy, the widows and the orphans she witnessed she participated in this with Bader and she was giving the care and attention to the why to the wounded of the army the wounded men of the army of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم then we have أم مسلمة هند بنت أبي أمي بن المغير and the unique thing about أم مسلمة when her husband passed away she asked الله سبحانه وتعالى اللهم اخلفني خيرا منها يا الله give me the reward of my being patient for this calamity and replace me a better one replace me a better husband so Allah سبحانه وتعالى honored her with marrying سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she was known with her lots of knowledge she narrated so much of the narrations of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم when she was 90 years old at the year 59 of Hijrah and she was the last she was as I mentioned 90 years old when she passed away then we have سيدنا بن تجاحش and she was the cousin of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم her mom was سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she was married to زيد ابنو حارث who was known at one time to be زيد ابنو محمد so when Zaid divorced her الله سبحانه وتعالى ordered سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم to marry her and she was always so proud of that when she got married to سيدنا محمد but I was married by Allah سبحانه وتعالى over seven heavens سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم gave her the glad tidings that she would be the first of his wives to follow him to pass away then we had جواري ابنو الحارث and she was of the people of the tribe ابنو المستلق her father was the leader he wanted to fight سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so he did it was a very very big victory to say the Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم they were defeated ابنو المستلق were defeated and سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم there were 700 people of her tribe that were captured she asked سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم to help her paying her the money to relieve herself from being asleep but say the Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said to her isn't there anything better than this and she said what is that and he said I will marry you all the money that you have to pay so she accepted and the 700 people of her tribe were released she was a very a very good worshipper of Allah سبحانه و تعالى she would be fasting a lot and doing lots of Qiyam and she was good to the poor also she passed away in the year 50 then we have her father was one of the leaders of the Jewish and he was known a very knowledgeable person in his tribe on the day of خيبر سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم killed her father and her husband and at the end of that day when everything settled so سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she proposed to her that you either marry me you either become a Muslim and I will marry you or you go back you stay on your religion you go back and you follow your people she she didn't want to go back of course no one is there for her her father died her husband died so she decided to marry سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم told her when the other leaders of the believers when one of them said to her you are a daughter of a Jewish person she said سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم told her tell her I am the daughter of the prophet the mother my uncle is a prophet and my husband is a prophet سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was so kind to her because she was she had no family no one around her and none of her people were around her and she died in the year 1952 of hijrah then we talked about أم محبيبة and she was the closest to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she was his cousin and when سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم wanted to marry her he sent to for that because she was in an abyssinia when her husband did not want to be to complete as a Muslim so he was sized and her got her married he was the one who got the contract for her with سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she was the most of his wives with a dowry it was 400 دينار and she passed away in the year 1944 of hijrah then we have ميمونة بن تلحارث and we just talked about her that she was the sister of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم the wife of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم about her سيد عائشة رضي الله عنها كانت اتقانا لله وأوصلنا للرحيم so she was the most pious of us and the most of us who would connect her the kinship she passed away when she was 81 years old and that was in the year 51 hijrah and she was married in Saif next to Mecca very close to Mecca a few miles away from Mecca and that was the place where she got married to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so those were the 11 wives of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم two of them passed away when he was when he was alive and those were of course سيد خديجة رضي الله عنها and السيد زينا بنته زيما رضي الله عنه now we might ask someone what about ماريا القبطية ماريا القبطية was the mother of إبراهيم the son of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so someone might say why she wasn't why she wasn't called one of the believers of one of the mothers of the believers of the Muslims so ماريا القبطية was who was gifted to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم by the king of Egypt and that happened we'll talk about that briefly سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم sent a letter to the king of المقوقس with و with the letter said بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم من محمد رسول الله إلى المقوقس عظيم القبط so from محمد the messenger of Allah to the king of the Christians the greatest leader of the Christians سلام على من اتباع الهدى peace upon those who follow the right path أما بعد فإني أدعوك بدعوة الإسلام I am calling you to Islam أسلم تسلم يؤتيك الله أجرك مرتين بي مسلم you will be safe and Allah سبحانه و تعالى when the word you double so المقوقس to the letter of محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم he honored the letter he put it in a special place and he was good to حاتي مبن أبي بلطع and he sent a letter himself to say the محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and he said to him بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم لمحمد ابن عبد الله to من المقوقس سلام عليك peace be upon you أما بعد فقد قرأت كتابك أو فهمت ما ذكرت فيه وما تدعو إلي I read your letter and I understood what is in it and I understood what you are calling for وقد علمت أن نبيا بقي I know that there is a loss of the prophets وكنت أظن أنه يخرج بالشان and I thought that he would be رفيلت شام في this area وقد أكرمت رسولك I was good to your messenger بلطع وبعثت لك بجاريتين لهما مكان في القبط عظيم so I sent with him سليف وومن and they have a very high rank with us and their names was بارية بينتو شمعون واختوها سيرين بينتو شمعون so I sent you these two slaves and I sent you clothes وبيكسور بغلطة لتركبها and I also sent you دونكي so you would برايت it وسلام عليكم so these two slaves were crying all the way when they were traveling they were traveling from Egypt to Medina they were scared, they didn't know what's going to happen to them so Halte قلت لهم حجر رضي الله عنها the wife of سيدنا إبراهيم and how she قتل almost all the way until the same way almost until she arrived in Medina so he was telling them her story how she traveled and how she was the wife of a prophet and how she got how she delivered a prophet also her son اسمعين so when they were about to enter Medina ماريا and her sister سيرين they became Muslim سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم accepted the gift ماريا and he gifted her a sister to Hassan Al-Bruthabit who married her so knowing that she came from Egypt and Egypt has the Nile river it's all greenery and it's so nice so سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم got her to live in a place called العوالي and it is said that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم is a place where it opens to the farms of palm trees so ماريا was of ملكل يمين and ملكل يمين is the slaves they are the those whom so they were of the captives captured slaves or they were of those who were built as slaves so these are these are the type of women whom her master can can have relationship with her without marrying her officially but this relationship should be announced so out of this relationship ماريا delivered سيدنا إبراهيم رضي الله وحن and at that time all his the children سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم passed away so except for فاطمة رضي الله وعنها so زينا بروخية ومكالثوم and their brother القاسم they were all dead at that time except for فاطمة الزهرة رضي الله وعنها and it was known that when إبراهيم عليه السلام was sick he was dying and his سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم came to him and he he took him in his lab and he said إن العينة إن العينة تدمع والقلب يحزن والقلب يحزن ولا نقول إلا ما يرضي ربنا ولا نقول إلا ما يرضي ربنا وإنا بفراقك وإنا بفراقك يا إبراهيم لمحزن so and this means that when of course this was the words of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم that the eye weeps and the heart grieves but we say only what our lord is pleased with which is إِنَّ لِلَّهُ إِنَّ إِنَّ إِلَّهِ رَجِعُونَ and we are grieved for you إبراهيم سيدة فاطمة رضي الله عنها سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was so sad and with the death of her brother إبراهيم and she was very sad for that so this was a list of the vibes of the vibes of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم we ask الله سبحانه وتعالى to unite us all the mothers of the believers to unite us all with them under the banner of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so with this session we come to the end to an end of this series the pearls of Islam the mothers of the believers the wives of and until we meet again in another series إن شاء الله سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وسلم ورحمة الله وبركاته
