 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته وأفضل الصلاة وإتمه السلام على سيدنا وحبيبنا وشكيعنا وقائدنا وقرت عيوننا سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم يا ربنا لك الحمد كما ينبغي لجلال وجهك وعظيم سنطانك اللهم افتح علينا فتوحة العارفين اللهم معلمنا ما ينفعنا ونفعنا بما علمتنا يا رحمة الرحيمين today inshallah we will talk about one of the unique pearls in Islam one of the mothers of the believers the sixth wife of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and her name is Hind bint Abu Umayyah رضي الله وعنها better known for Umm Salama the mother of the believers سيد عقش ربي الله عنها الساد لما تزوج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم Umm Salama حزينت حزنا شديدا لما ذكر لنا من جمالها فتلطفت حتى رأيتها فرأيت أضعافنا ومصيفت به when Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم when the messenger of Allah was married to Umm Salama عقش رضي الله عنها felt so sad because of what was narrated or what was mentioned to the wives about how beautiful she was so she said okay I kept it for me until I saw her and I've seen double and double and more and more of what they were of what she was described by so Hind bint Abu Umayyah Umm Salama she was the daughter of Zadu Rakhb what does Zadu Rakhb mean Zadu Rakhb means that he is the one if someone travels with him he would not leave anyone to carry any provision because he would provide for everybody for all the travelers traveling with him he was very noble and he was an elite member of his Quraysh tribe he was known for his generosity especially for the travelers so his name was Abu Umayyah ابن المغير ربني عبد الله القرشي المخزومي and her mom was عاتكة بنت عامر ابني ربيعة الكنانية so Umm Salama may Allah be pleased with her was one of the members of the prophetic house of the blessed prophetic group and she was someone who narrated so many narrations for Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم she was so knowledgeable in Fukuha and she was as I just said she was very noble very beautiful she was married before Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم she was married to Abu Salama عبد الله بن عبد الأسدي بن هيلا لبن مخزوم and he was one of the closest companions to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he was a very good a very close companion to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and he was given the title of صاحب الهجرتين the one who made both hijras the hijra to Abassin and the hijra to Madinah to the blessed Madinah he was the cousin of Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his his aunt was Barra بنت عبد المطالب so he is the cousin of Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم so Abu Salama and his wife hint in addition to their blessed to their blessed لينيش they had a very very strong and a very good position in Islam they were of the very first 10 people who migrated to Habasha and there in Abassin was an amazing example of the good wife she was very loyal very faithful she was an obedient wife she would fulfill her duties toward her husband and she would prepare a good home a good atmosphere at home for her husband she was with him all the time during hardship and during ease she was with him and she endured all the torture that Quraish was practicing over those Muslims who believed in the messengers of Allah she was a good wife she traveled with her husband to Abassin and just to run away to practice her religion she left everything behind money, home people, relatives and she left everything for the sake of Allah and to get rid of the torture of Quraish people and subhan Allah in Abassin there in that land she had her son Salama and later on we know what happened to Um Salama in Abassin so she she narrated with very very specific details the what happened between عمر بن العاص his friend who came to take back the Muslims from the king of Abassin from Najashi she narrated the incident in so much details and she was a true witness she sent us until today a very documented information about what happened she would not care about Dunya she would not care about the palace she would not care about these things but she was caring about her Islam about the Muslims and about the religion so Um Salama later on came back came back to Mecca and when it was the time for traveling for migrating to the blessed Medina she was one of those people who migrated to Medina and she went with her husband on her Haoudaj and the Haoudaj is the camel that carries a place where a woman could sit on and by that she was the first woman the first woman the first woman she was the first woman who migrated to Medina and she was carried on a camel so Um Salama arrived in and before she traveled something happened to her and she narrated what happened to her so she said I traveled with my husband to be of the very first people to travel to Medina and of course the travel was not easy it was in the desert with the high heat and it wasn't easy her son Salama was with her so when the men came to Medina their husband was traveling his wife and children and his son with him so they separated the husband and the wife by power and they prevented Um Salama and her child to her tribe so the people of her husband the tribe of her husband were so upset with that and they said we will not we will not leave their son which means the grandchild with her so they wanted to take the child so someone was pulling the child and he was until he was taken away from her after his arm Um Salama was crying every single day she would go every day out and she would to a place called Al-Aqaa and she would cry all day until it is the night time so many months passed by until her cousin until someone of her tribe came and he saw her he saw this type of faithfulness months passed and every day she would do the same thing she would go out and she was so loyal to her husband to her child and that person was so saddened by her by what happened to her and he convinced the people just to release her so they said to her go follow your husband if you will and the child was given to his mom and she had the opportunity to have her child and to migrate with him so one day Um Salama said to Sayyidina Muhammad يا رسول الله لا أسمع ذكر النساء في الهشرة بشيء I don't recall I heard anything about women migrating so Allah سبحانه وتعالى revealed ayah 195 of Surah Al-Imran when he said بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم فاستجاب لهم ربهم أني لا أضيع عمل عامل منكم من ذكر أو أنثة بعضكم من بعض and the Lord responded to them never will I allow to be lost the work of any worker the work of any worker among you whether male or female you are of one another so Um Salama her shyness would not prevent her from asking Sayyidina Muhammad about the woman's right and her the response to her to her question was revelation so she believed that the religion she is believing in that her faith would not differentiate between male and female in reward both male and female are requested to pray both of them are requested to pay Zakat if certain conditions were applied but both of them were were asked to fast both of them were asked to pay to do Hajj but so the reward is for both of them first year of Hijra passed by and it was the battle of Badr so Abu Salama was fighting in the battle of Badr and then of course it was a big victory for the Muslims in Uhud Abu Salama was fighting with the army of the messenger of Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and he was severely injured so later on his wound healed and he he recovered Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم sent him in a dispatch to the land of Benny Essent but when he came back his wound got worse and it opened up again and it wouldn't heal and the result was he was a murderer for the sake of Allah again Abu Salama was crying crying crying she was so loyal to him she was so so much in love with him he was a very good husband to her so this we don't remember when she was one day with her husband she remembered that there was a conversation between them so she she said to him تعالقوا على هدوك اللا تزوج بعدي ولا تزوجوا بعده هل أنت وكسر لك أنت وكسر لك أنت وكسر لك أنت لن تترحل منك ون تترحل منك قال أنت أهلتني فألتك وكسر لك إذا مضتتتت إذا مضتتتت فألتك ترحل وفعلتها اللهم ارزق أم مسلمة بعدي رجولا خيرا مني لا يحزينها ولا يؤذيها و اللا جف أم مسلمة أبتر حزباً than me يريد أن تجعلها سعادة و يريد أن تترحل so she said who is better than Ali Salma and he was the one إذن محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم ميت دعاء for him when he said اللهم غفر لي أبي سلمة ورفع درجته في المهديين or Allah forgive أبي سلمة and elevate him so she was thinking what type of of دعاء that her husband is making for her who is better than her husband so now that her husband passed away she remembered one حديث that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said and she narrated that حديث so she said عن أمي سلمة زوجة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقال من أصابته مصيبة فقال كما أمر الله إلنا لله وإن إليه راجعون اللهم أأجرني في مصيبتي وأعقبني خيرا منها إلا فعل الله ذلك بيه so what happened المسجر الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سلم if a misfortune if a hardship befall someone and he says as Allah has ordered and which was we belong to Allah and to him we return we belong to Allah and to him we return إِنَّا لِلَّا وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجعونَ oh Allah reward me in my hardship reward me in my misfortune and give me better than give me better than this than what happened to me afterwards اللهم أأجرني في مصيبتي وحرفني خيرا منها so whoever says this Allah will do that for him and ومسلمة ومسلمة رضي الله عنها said when my husband أبو سلمة passed away I said that and then I said who is better than أبو سلمة when she wanted to say it she was hesitant is there someone who is better than أبو سلمة so she said أبو سلمة ثم قلت فأعقب خلوه رسول الله وعليه وسلمة فتزوجها so umsalam said when abou sلمة died I said that I said اللهم أجرني في مصيبتي وخرفني خيرا منها and then I said and that's umsalam saying who is better than أبو سلمة and then Allah الله سبحانه وتعالى left her the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم and he married her so this is a big lesson for us we all have calamities we all passed through hardships but whenever we are faced with one we have immediately to say and I mean immediately at the time of the calamity to say اللهم إنا لله وإنا إيه راجعون اللهم أجرنا في مصيبتنا وخرفنا خيرا منهم this is what say محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم wanted us to say and we say it we say it we believe that اللهم سبحانه وتعالى never takes something or never puts us in hardship until he puts he gives us something else unless he provides with something or something else just have faith in اللهم سبحانه وتعالى and remember that whenever he promise something this thing will happen so whenever you are in a calamity just remember this إنا لله وإنا إيه راجعون اللهم أجرني في مصيبتي وخرفني خيرا منها يا اللهم reward me in my hardship and give me better than it and this is what happened to رضي الله عنه سو سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم sent someone to ask her for marriage but she was she was scared of three things that she has something in her character she didn't want to be punished for if she was with سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم سلم أزيز so she said إني مرأة في يغيرة شديدة a woman who has so much jealousy and فأخافوا انترى مني شيئني وعزيبني اللهم به I cannot accept that you see something bad from me because of my jealousy that I will be punished for by Allah سبحانه و تعالى so this was her first concern that she is jealous و أنا مرأة قد دخلت في السن and I am an old woman و أنا ذات عيال we have children so she said when سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم got her response he said أما ذكرت من الغيرات أما ذكرت من الغير فسوف يذبوا الله عنك so what what you mentioned of jealousy Allah سبحانه و تعالى you get rid of it و أما ذكرت من السن فقد أصابني مثل الذي أصابك and as what you mentioned of getting older I am getting older too و أما ذكرت من العيال and what you mentioned of children فإنما عيالك عيالي your children are my children so أم مسلم رضي الله عنها hearing this this good news these responses from سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she accepted to marry him she gave herself to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and she said أبدلني الله بأبي سلامة قير من رسول الله الله سبحانه و تعالى has replaced me with سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم instead of أبو سلامة he replaced me with a better husband with a better person so with this she أم سلامة became the wife of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and the people of مدينة they witnessed they witnessed something strange in her marriage they said دخلت أي ملعربي على سيد سيد الإسلام والبسلمين أول العشاء عروسة so at the beginning of the night she was a bride وقامت من آخر الليل تطحن وهي أم وينين and by the end of the night she was just working on making bread and she at that time was the mother of the believers so at the beginning of the night she was a bride and at the end of the night she was working أم سلامة رضي الله عنها was so happy to live with سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she loved him so much he loved her and she would buy slaves and she would free them but she would say you have to show service to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and she was competing with people for the traces of the water of his وضوء just to get the back she would keep some of the blessed hair of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم with her in a special vessel and she would show this these blessed hair of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she would show it to those close to her to those whom she loves and she would put these blessed hair in water and she would give this water to patients who would drink it and get the back of that they would get the blessings they would get the the healing out of that water so سبحان الله أم سلمة was known to be as one of the wise beautiful intelligent and politically knowledgeable mother of our believers and of course she said that she was jealous but her jealousy was controlled she wouldn't allow Shaytan to get to ignite that jealousy once she was asked about her about سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and her jealousy of the wives of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم would not prevent her from being fair to them so when she was asked about Zaynab she was very fair to her she was truthful she was pious so she wouldn't just ignore any wives of these mothers of believers so she said about her she was a good wife she was a good lady she was a lady كانت مرأة صالحة صبوامة و قوامة صنعا تتصبقوا بذلك كله على المساكين so she was this is what she said about سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم she said she was a good woman she was a pious woman she was always fasting she was of those people who pray at night she was creative in handwork and she would do some handwork and she would give the money for that as charity for the poor so this was a Muslim she was a person with very good manners and to this to the beauty to the wisdom to being intelligent she as I just mentioned was politically knowledgeable and she was she was the advisor of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم in يوم الحديبية the day of treaty her wisdom and what she gave the advice that she gave سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم exceeded the wisdom of man so on that day سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم after the agreement between him and Quraysh he asked his companions just he told them that we are not going to go to Mecca to perform the umrah this year we will do it next year so everyone should relieve himself from the state of ihram so they have to to slaughter a sheep and they have to shave their heads the companions could not do it not because they were objecting or they were opposing سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم no but they could not do it they came out of Medina with the intention of performing umrah and Quraysh because preventing them how could they do that so they could not do it so سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم came back to his tent and he said to him what happened and was very clever she was the best advisor on that day and she said to him يا رسول الله I suggest that you go out to them you don't talk to anyone you slaughter the sheep and you ask someone to shave your head and he did and all the the companions did the same everyone did what سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم did so this was the mother of the believers and of her merits is that she conveyed to us a lot of the hadith a lot of the transmissions about سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so she narrated so many of his of his hadith and she would tell us about so many things even on the day that سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم passed away she narrated to us so many hadith on that day she said that when سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم passed away I put my hand on his chest on that day and weeks passed after whenever I would make prendo whenever I would eat the misk the misk scent would not leave me would not leave my hand أم سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم I mentioned was a very woman she had a very special relation with Allah سبحانه و تعالى she was so obedient to Allah سبحانه و تعالى she was she was one of the of the woman who devoted their lives for Allah سبحانه و تعالى so after the death of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم و مسلم the person whom the Sahaba the companions and the followers also they would go to her to learn from her to know what what she heard from سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم to ask her questions and عمر ابن الخطاب رطي الله عن when he became the Khalif he was giving her special gifts that that would be good for the mother of the believers was so caring so loving she was full of humanity she was very kind and she was she was known for for those qualities it was narrated that الحسن البصري the leader of for the governor of البصرا in Iraq and we all know that he was raised in his in her house because his father was a slave to say رطي الله عن and his mom was also that so his mom left him one day when he was an infant she wanted to do something so she left him at the house of سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and he was crying and crying و مسلمة was was so kind she was very kind she couldn't she couldn't bear to hear the crying of الحسن البصري so what she did she put him on her on her breast just to to out of kindness just she she wanted him to suck her her breast so there was some milk at that time سبحان الله so مسلمة رضي الله عنها was one of the mothers of the believers one of the wives of sayyidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم one of the pearls of Islam so whenever you go to مدينة and you stop by جلت البقية just give your sound to أم وسلمة and to all the mother of the believers were buried there and to the daughters of sayyidna محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and make dua for them make dua that we would be good children to the mothers of the believers and until next week I leave you by sending special greetings and the peace to our beloved messenger سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وسلم وعليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
