 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم والصلاة والسلام على أشرف المرسلين سيدنا ونبينا وشفيعنا وقائدنا وقررت عايننا سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم يا ربنا لك الحمد كما ينبغي لجلال وجهك بعضي مسلطانك اللهم افتح علينا فتوح العاركين اللهم معلمنا ما ينفعنا ونفعنا بما علمتنا يا الرحم الرحيمين today insha Allah we will have a look up on another female companion of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم her name is أمو سلمة the mother of the believers أمو سلمة so who is this last woman so أمو سلمة was a noble قرشين from مخزون طرب she was a lady who was very known for for her social status her father was named as his title his nickname was زاد الركب and the word زاد الركب means that he was the one who would provide for the people who are traveling with him he would provide them with all they need during their trip so if someone travels with them with him he's not supposed to hold anything he's not supposed to take care of anything her father would provide everything that this traveler who was traveling with him that he might need so he was known for his amazing generosity so أمو سلمة was married to her cousin and he was the cousin of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and he was also his brother of nursing so he and سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم were brothers in milk so she was married to her cousin أبو سلمة and she had a boy called سلمة that's why she's called أمو سلمة and she she gave birth to سلمة when they were in حبشة so when she migrated to مدينة later on she had عمر زيناب ودورة so she had four children from أبي سلمة so أمو سلمة and أبو سلمة were accepted Islam and they were of the pioneers who accepted Islam actually and they both migrated to حبشة and أمو سلمة had a very important role when she was in حبشة so we all know the story that after the Muslims migrated to حبشة they went to the land whose king is so just and he was very well known for that so when those Muslims migrated there قريش sent people after them so they sent عمر بن العاص who was a friend of Negas the king and his friend عمر بن الوليد so عمر بن العاص and عمر بن الوليد were sent by قريش to حبشة just to get those Muslims back to مكة so they would be tortured there and أمو سلمة ورضي الله عنها narrated very accurately very carefully the incident and she said it in an amazing way she described everything every single small thing was described by أمو سلمة so the story that she she mentioned are Britain and they are now with us as a historical document that everyone goes back to so أمو سلمة did not care about anything at the palace of of the king she did not care about anything there but she knew that she is a Muslim and there is she has she has a role to fulfill and there is no difference between a male and a female as long as the heart is full of a man so she was the narrator who narrated that story now things of course did not work out for عمر بن العاص and عمر بن الوليد and the king decided I'm not giving you back the Muslims and they are staying here so the Muslims stayed in أبسينيا as long as they stayed and later on أمو سلمة went back from أبسينيا with those who came back and they went back to مكة and it was later that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم has ordered Muslims to migrate to Medina so she said I was with my husband on the camel traveling to Medina and it was so hot the desert was flaring hot so she had her son سلمة with her as we said she had only one son at that time so she was holding him and trying not to make him feel the fear when she saw her people some men of her people from بن المغير they followed them and they wanted to get them back so the men had separated the wife and the husband and they did not allow أبو سلمة to take his wife with him so they returned أمو سلمة and her son to Medina أبو سلمة run away and he went to Medina so her tribe her people said we are not going to leave our grandchild with you so they took the child from her and she was alone so she stayed about a year that every every night every every morning she would go out to الابطح to the place called الابطح and she would stay there for a long time crying and crying and that was for about a year until one day her cousin met her and he felt so bad he felt so sorry for her and he tried to convince the the people to let her go so they accepted and they said go follow your husband if you if you wish so the boy was returned to his mom and she traveled and she met her husband and of course she was so happy to see sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم now مسلمة one day was with رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم and she said to him يا رسول الله لا أسمعوا الله ذكر النساء في الهجرة تي بشيء او مسنجرا الله I I haven't heard Allah سبحانه وتعالى has mentioned the woman in while migrating so Allah سبحانه وتعالى revealed I am 195 of Surah Ali Amran فاستجاب لهم ربهم أني لا أضيع عمل عامل منكم من ذكر او انسى بعضكم من بعض so Allah سبحانه وتعالى said their Lord responded to them so Allah سبحانه وتعالى said never will I allow to be to be lost the work of any of any person any worker anyone who did anything among you whether male or female so you are one of one another one another so um Salama wanted to ask about women's rights so she was not shy to ask sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and she did and there was a revelation that answered her request so so now time passed and it was the battle of better so her husband participated in the battle and later on it was the battle of God and of course Abu Salama was with the army of the Muslims in God he was severely injured but الحمد لله was his wound was healed so sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم sent him later in a dispatch to bani asad but when he came back his wound got worse and it would never heal and he died because of that wound so he was amongst the murders for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى ومسلمة was so sad she was so sad that she lost him and she remembered that that sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم used to say من أصابته مصيبة فليقل إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون اللهم عندك أحتسب مصيبتي فجرني فيها وأبدلني خيرا منها so sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم used to say to advise everyone who passes through a calamity who suffers from a calamity to say listen to this and memorize it إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون so we belong to Allah and to him we shall return Oh Allah, compensate me in my affliction recompense my loss and give me something better in exchange for it so she remembered when she was full of sorrow full of distress she remembered the words of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and she said who will be better وأبدلني خيرا منها who will be better in exchange for a peace but even though she said the dua ومسلم was sure that Allah SWT has promised and he will fulfill the promise so Allah SWT substituted her for رسول الله عليه وسلم he substituted him with رسول الله عليه وسلم so how did it happen sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم sent someone to propose for her and she said well she knew that she has jealousy and she might not be a good wife for sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so she sent to him and she said لا كلمي مرأة في يغيرة شديدة I am a jealous I am so jealous woman فأخافوا أن ترى مني شيء أن يعذبني الله به I am I am scared that you would see something from me from whatever I might do because of this jealousy so Allah SWT will torture me because of that وأنا مرأة قد دخلت في السن و أنا ذات عيال so I am an old woman and I have children so sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said so when he got this answer from her he said so whatever you have mentioned about being jealous then Allah SWT will cure you of this وأما ما ذكرتي من السن فقد أصابني مثل الذي أصابك and what you have mentioned of old age I am old too وأما ما ذكرتي من العيال فإن عيالك عيالي and what you have mentioned of your children then I would tell you your children are my children so she accepted and sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم married أمو سلمة and she said so رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم Allah has replaced me he has substituted me substituted أبو سلمة with a better person than him sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so أمو سلمة was one of the female companions who narrated the Hadith of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so she narrated about 378 Hadith from sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so now she is in the household of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she is singing everything all the actions, everything all the blessed words that sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم is saying everything so she narrated a lot from sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so of course she lived at the house of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and she loved sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and because of that love she would do a lot of things one of them is to buy slaves and then free them and tell them they have to serve sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she wanted to do anything for the sake of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she would get some share of the wudu of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم the blessed water that he sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم would make his wudu so that he would have the blessings of that water she would keep some of his blessed hair that she would show to people she wanted to be blessed by these blessed hairs of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she would put them in water and she would give then she would remove them so she would give the water to sick people to get the barakah and to get healed by the traces of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم in that water so أم سلمة رضي الله عنها as we said she was a jealous woman but of course Allah سبحانه وتعالى has healed her so she would talk about other mothers of believers very fairly so when she was asked about sayidna أم المؤمنين رضي الله عنها the mother of the believers she was fear she was truthful she was so pious when she talked about her she said كانت مرأة صالحة صوامة قوامة صنع ان تتصدق بذلك كله على المساكين so she said she was a good pious woman she was a woman who would be praying fasting and she was creative in handwork and she would donate all that for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى she would give it to the masakeen to the poor so this was أم سلمة رضي الله عنها having very good manners she was beautiful she was wise she was intelligent she had political knowledge she was a very wise woman a very wise a female companion of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she was a very wise wife we all know the story of al-Hudaibia when sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم went to a umrah with his companions but Quraysh would not let him enter Mecca so they reconciliated and it was one of the conditions that the Muslims would go back this year to Medina and they would come back next year so they won't allow them to do the umrah and sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم asked the companion to do تحلل just to slaughter and to shave the heads but it was so hard on the Sahaba how they could not enter Mecca so they did not accept that sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم had seen that and he went into the tent with his wife and he said to her this is what's happening so her wisdom was amazing on that day that no other man could have advice could have given sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم the same advice so she said to him yeah Rasool الله go out do not talk to anyone get the sheep slaughter it and ask the barber to shave your head so when the Sahaba sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم doing that they all did it so that was the wisdom of um muslima رضي الله وعنه so as we mentioned one of the merits of um muslima was narrating the hadith and there were a lot of hadith that she narrated some of them were about the merits of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم the characteristics of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم the manners of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم the generosity of sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم the best of the deeds to sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she also mentioned and rated the hadith of Allah سبحانه و تعالى accepting the the repentance of those who were who did not follow Sayidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم ، إلى الباتل ، لذلك she narrated the good, the happy Hadith, and also she narrated the sad Hadith. And that was when سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم passed away and chose to go meet Allah So she said that when it was the night, when it was the time that سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم was dying, then she put her hand on the chest of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم. And she said weeks passed after then, after he died that I would eat, I would perform and the misc order did not leave the hand that I passed on سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم. سيدنا عمر ، now سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم passed away. She lived during the time of سيدنا أبو بكر ، سيدنا عمر بن الخطاب. And then سيدنا عثمان ، سيدنا علي. And she lived until the time of يزيد بن معاوية. So she was the last of the mother of the believers to pass away after سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم. And it was the year 62 of هجرة, when she passed away. And she was, as I just mentioned, one of the amazing female companion of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم, amazing mother of the believers. And when you go to مدينة just by the بقية and visit all the mothers of the believers who are buried there. So this was أم مسلمة رضي الله عنها, who was Allah gave her a better substitute to her husband. He gave her the best of the creation سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم. So many lessons that we can learn from this amazing female companion. And the one that I really wanted you to focus on is if you have a calamity, then say the dua that يدن محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم has advised us to say إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ أَجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَةِ وَأَبْدِلْنِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا We all belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. يا الله, give me reward for my sabr, for accepting for the ridah that I am practicing and replace me with something better and have full certainty that Allah سبحانه وتعالى will accept your dua and will fulfill your dua. Moving on, we will talk about Umrah Aiman رضي الله عنها. Her name, what? How the young Episcenian girl ended up for sale in Makkah. So who is this girl? We don't know. We don't know her father. We don't know who her mother was. We don't know anything about her. All we know that she was a young Episcenian girl who ended up for Makkah to be sold as a slave. And of course there were many like her boys and girls, Arabs and Arabs. So those boys and girls were captured and bought in the slave market in Makkah. So some of them would have a terrible fate as they would end up in the hands of cruel masters and they would live very miserable life. So the young Episcenian girl was one of the more fortunate ones. She was saved and she was bought by the generous kind gentlemen. So she became the only servant in his household and when he was married to Amina رضي الله عنها, she looked after her affairs as well. So Amina was the caregiver to Amina رضي الله عنها. So now Sayyidna Abdullah and Amina they got married about two weeks after their marriage. Abdullah's father came to the house and he instructed his son to go with a trading caravan that was leaving for Syria. Amina was so sad. It was only two weeks after their marriage and his departure was very heartbreaking. And soon after he left Amina fainted and Baraka was the one to take care of her. Two months later after the departure of Abdullah Amina رضي الله عنها called Baraka. And one morning she came to her and she was very very very happy and she said to her, Oh Baraka I've seen a strange dream and Baraka asked something good my lady. And Amina said I saw lights coming out from my my belly and lighting up the mountains the hills and the valleys around Makkah. So Baraka said do you feel you are pregnant my lady. And Amina said yes Baraka but there's something strange. I don't feel any discomfort as other women feel during their pregnancy. So I mean Baraka رضي الله عنها said you shall give birth to a blessed child who will bring goodness. So now Abdullah was away and Baraka was taking care of Amina رضي الله عنها. So Amina became more distressed when Abdullah came and told her she had to leave the home and go to the mountains. And that's what other meccans had done because there will be an uptag by the ruler of Yemen Abraha on Makkah because he's going to destroy the camp. So Amina told him she told Abdullah that she was too weak to leave for the mountains. But she insisted also that Abraha could never enter Makkah. You would never be able to destroy the camp because it was protected by the Lord. So Abraha's army was destroyed before they even could enter Makkah. Day and night Baraka رضي الله عنها stayed by Amina. And she narrates she said I slept at the foot of her bed and heard her groans at night as she called for her absent husband. Her mouth would wake me and I would try to comfort her and give her courage. Time passed and the caravan came from Syria. And everyone came back except for Abdullah. So Baraka she went to Abdul Mutalib's house and the news came from Yathrib that Abdullah had died. So when Amina heard the painful news she fainted. And of course Baraka took care of her. So there was no one at the house except for Baraka. And she nursed Amina. She took care of Amina and she took care of her day and night until she gave birth to her child. Who was named by his grandfather Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. When Muhammad was born Baraka was the first to hold him. She was the first to hold him in her arms. Then his grandfather came and took him to the Kaaba. And his birth was celebrated. And Baraka stayed with Amina صلى الله عليه وسلم all the time. Now Muhammad was sent to the desert to be nursed by Lady Halima. And again it was five years that passed and Baraka was taking care of Amina صلى الله عليه وسلم. When the five years ended Muhammad the amazing beautiful boy was returned back to Makkah. And Amina received him with love and she hugged him. It was an amazing time to get her son back. And now we know the story of Sayyed Muhammad when he was six. His mother decided to take him to visit the grave of his father. And they went to Benin Najjar the family of Amina. And every day she would visit her the grave of her husband. And it was about a few weeks that they spent there. And now on the way back Amina became seriously ill with fever. And halfway between Yithrib and Makkah in a place called El Abwa they stopped. There was no way to go on Amina's health deteriorated rapidly. And Amina knew that it was her death. So she said to Baraka I'm departing this world shortly. And I commend my son Muhammad to your care. You know his father while he was in my belly. And he is now losing his mother under his very eyes. So be a mother to him Baraka. Don't leave him at all. Never leave him. And Baraka wept. And Amina passed away. And with the young boy they both dug the grave. And Amina moistened the grave with her tears. Then Baraka returned with the orphan to Makkah. And his grandfather took care of Muhammad. And she was taking care of Muhammad. She was with him. Then two years later the grandfather passed away. And they were both Baraka and Muhammad. They were moved to live with his uncle Abdul Mutalib. And she was taking care of Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. Until a time passed. And now he was grown up. And he married Sayyid Khadija رضي الله عنها. So Baraka stayed with Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. And she stayed with Khadija in the household. In the house of Khadija رضي الله عنها. And one day Sayyidna Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم called Baraka and she said to her يوم. And this means my mother or mother. Now I'm a married man. And you are still unmarried. What do you think? What do you think of if someone proposes to you for marriage? And Baraka said she'll never leave you. Does a mother abandon her son? So Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم smiled at her. And he kissed her at her head. And he looked at his wife. And Khadija رضي الله عنها said to her. So he said to Khadija. This is my mother after my mother. She took care of me. So Baraka looked at Khadija رضي الله عنها. And Khadija said to her. You have sacrificed your youth for the sake of Muhammad. Now he wants to pay back some of his obligations to you. For my sake. And we want you. We both want you to agree to marry before you get so old. So Baraka looked at them and she said. Who shall I marry? And she said. عوبة يدب نزيد. From خزرج. And خزرج is a tribe in Yathrib in Medina. So he proposed and he asked for it to get married to you. And please do not forget. Do not refuse. So Baraka agreed and she married Darwaid. And she went with him to Medina. She gave birth to her son. Who was named Amen. We all know that her nickname was on Amen. خزرج. Did not. Did not last very long. And her husband died. And she returned to Mecca. To live again with her son. Muhammad. In the house of Lady Khadija. At that time. سيدنا علي was living there. سيد زيد بن حارث. I was living there. سيدنا محمد. The daughters. So. Everyone was living in the house. Now. سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم. Was blessed with prophethood. And Barakan. And. And those people were living with. With سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم. Were the first to accept the message. And to become Muslims. One day. سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم. Was with his companions. And. They were in Dar al-Arqam. And the non-believers. Had blocked off the roads. Leading to the house of Dar al-Arqam. And there was an important message. From Khadija to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم. And. She said I would go get it. And I would go and give it to him. So. She did. She risked her life. Trying to reach the house of Dar al-Arqam. And she did. She was there. And she gave the message. And. سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم. Looked at her and you said. You are blessed. Surely you have a place in paradise. So he gave her the glad tidings. Of a place in paradise. And when she left. The Prophet ﷺ looked at his companions. And he said. Should one of you desire to marry a woman. From the people of paradise. Let him marry Umayman. سيدنا علي. Remain silent. The companions remain silent. But. Who. Was. The one. To. Step forward. She was now about 50 years old. And. سيد said. سيد بن حارث I said. Messenger of Allah. I shall marry Umayman. By Allah. She is better than woman. Who have a grace and beauty. So. Who is the Zaid. Zaid is. The beloved of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم. He was his own servant. And. Here of course he was a freed. A son. He is the Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. Was dealt with him as a real son. But when Islam came. He was. To say that. Islam abandoned. Adoption. So he is Zaid بن حارث. Again. Because he was named Zaid بن محمد. They both. Got married. And they had. A blessed son. Whose name was Usama. And the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Used to love Zaid. And the. And his son a lot. So. Subhanallah. There was. Later the migration to Medina. And. From Aiman. My great. And. He made this long. Difficult journey through the desert. And the mountains. She made it on foot. Imagine. She. She migrated. Walking. The heat was killing. The sandstones. Obscured the way. She persisted. Until she reached there. When she was in Medina. Her feet were sore. They were swollen. And her face was covered with. The sand and dust. Seeing her. Sayed. The Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. Said. Yeah. Yeah. Me. Indeed. For you is a place in paradise. Bushra. Bushra. And. So. In Medina. Um Aiman. Participated in battles. She was in. She distributed water to the. To the thirsty people. And she tended the wound. The wounded ones. And she. Say the Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. In other. In other. In other battles. And. Her son Aiman. Was a devoted companion of the Prophet. He was murdered in. In the. Eighth year. After his. And. And. Was killed in the battle. Of. In Syria. After a lifetime. Of distinguished services. To Islam. Now. At this time. Was about 70 years old. And she spent most of her time. At. At home. And. The Prophet accompanied. And. And. And. And they always used. To. To visit her. And he said. Yeah. Are you well. And he would reply. I am well. Oh. Messenger of Allah. As long as Islam is. So. She was devoted. To see the Muhammad. And when he passed away. She was crying. And. She was crying. And when she was asked. About. About that. And she said. By Allah. I knew that. The Messenger of Allah. Would die. But I cry now. Because. The revelation. From. This. The revelation. From. This. The revelation. Well. Has to come to an end. We are not going to. To have any more revelation. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. و with this we end our session for today إن شاء الله until we meet next week I send my salam and your salam to Zaidna Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم وسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
