Your Amin, amin amin, welcome back to another episode of Series of

Islam. Tonight we look at Aisha bint Abu Bakr, Radi Allahu Allah,

the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his wife and the

daughter of Abu Bakar his best and closest companion, sal Allahu

Allah wa salam. She is the fourth most narrator of Hadith. She

narrated 2210 to 2250, a hadith directly from the Prophet Muhammad

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, she had more than 100 students who

learn directly from her, including Ursula imidazolium. She had some

of the greatest companions narrate directly from her alma Bob

narrated from her um, the live neuroma narrative from her IV

fluid Ira narrated from her side and then we'll say a narrative

from her and the teachers of Al hacer el bacillary learn directly

from her. She left a beautiful legacy behind and the beautiful

legacy can be summarized in one moment. One episode that is really

incredible. I blindness Zubair who was the son of a smart mint

Abubaker. So his aunt is a shot of the Alana is the nephew of Arusha.

He comes into the house and he used to come in and out, you know,

she was his Maha Schumacher Muharram. So she would be

comfortable teaching directly, and he will be spending a lot of time

in and out of the house. So he would see her given lessons. And

he's just amazed with his with her person. So we asked her, yeah, OMA

and used to call her my mother out of respect, because she's in the

same age and the same level of respect as his own mother. See,

oh, man, and she's the mother of the believers. Yeah. Oh, man, I

get why you're so good at poetry. Because your father is a

boubakeur. And he was good at that. I get why you're so good at

lineage knowing people's lineage and profiling and knowing which

families what and which tribe is what because Abu Bakr was good at

that. And he pass that knowledge on to you. I get why you're so

good at Quran and Hadith, because it also Los Alamos, your husband,

you're privileged in the area, I get all of that. But can you

explain to me, how did you come to know so much about medicine? How

did you come to know so much about the various ingredients in the

various healing herbs and the things you're always going around

and giving ingredients classifying, categorizing,

treating illnesses? Where did you pick up that from? So she turns to

me, he says, My son, look at that respect. When the Prophet Muhammad

SAW Selim was ill, at the end of his life, out of tribes used to

send their women to suggest try this and try that and try this and

try that. So I, I was interested in medicine and I was trying to

put all these things together to heal the Prophet Muhammad Salam,

of course, Allah subhanaw taala, as will always transcends anything

else. When the Prophet Muhammad Selim passed away, I picked it up

as a hobby as something that I enjoyed, and I carried it on and I

pursued it. So one thing that we don't usually mention about Ayesha

is she was involved not just as a teacher, not just as a Mahadeva

not just as somebody who carried the Sunnah and transmitted the

Sunnah, the tradition and the legacy of the Prophet Muhammad

Salah Salem, but she was also a healer, a doctor in her own sense.

Why because she would go to the community to lumen in the

community, and she would for example, in one Hadith, she would

see the woman who are going through anxiety or stress or

experiencing bereavement after the death of somebody from their

family she would say I recommend that you try to eat tell Bina look

it up what is still being a look at the Hadith, t a l Vi n h so I

recommend that you eat tell Bina because the prophet Mohamed Salah

Salem taught that there is a healing property and it helps

somebody cope with anxiety or cope with sadness and sorrow. Can you

imagine and she would add on some of her own things that she also

picked up from the tribes and from what was available at her time. So

she was combining the Sunnah prophetic medicine with the

medicine that was available to her to suggest these various healing

entities to the people that were available to her to the people

that needed it. And that goes to show you Subhanallah the

incredible personality and the curiosity of eyeshadow Delana I

shared with Alana and maybe once heard her put someone else in

their place you know, someone was kind of you know, crossing the

boundaries a little bit and I showed up and I'm looking at the

Prophet Mohammed Salah should should I should I respond or will

you get a smile? Okay, you take it on. So she gives this verbal

incredible verbal conversation and if you

Selam just smiles. I think he's been to everybody. She's the

daughter of Abubaker. We expect you know, some really, like more

out here himself, he says elf so out of the most eloquent of the

Arabs, not just the women, the most eloquent of the Arab desert

Isha let that sink in some, some of the women themselves would say,

we would listen to the whole bus Abubaker and the whole bus of

Roma, and the whole bus of Earth man and the whole bus of many

philosophers, but we have never heard anyone more engaging, more

captivating, more eloquent than a shot of the Allahu anha

let this sink in some of the companions themselves, there is an

opinion attributed or a saying attributed to Ramadan support, in

which Jesus before Islam, we used to disregard we didn't really care

much about the feelings and the emotions of women, and we didn't

really think of women to be able to contribute and to have value to

the society. And that was the pre Islamic, you know, impression, the

pre Islamic perception towards women, it was disgusting, you

know, the burial of women, or burial of female daughters that as

mentioned in the Quran, although it wasn't as prevalent, it was

still socially accepted, it was still a norm.

That was before Islam. Now I'm gonna stop according to that sing

attributed to him, he says, but when the ayat of inheritance, the

verses of inheritance were revealed in the Quran, it caused a

paradigm shift that women can inherit. The women are not to be

inherited as property, which was the case before Islam, but they

can inherit, so that those ideas in the Quran the way the Quran

frames, women and the rights really changed the perception of

the Sahaba and find that it was I Isha, as a figure that change the

perception that we had towards women.

I shall not the law on her, had her own school of fic, she would

dispute some of the opinions of the scholars around the

companions. For for example, when she heard the hadith of how the

Prophet Muhammad Salam is supposed to have said that, you know, women

when a woman walks, interrupts your Salah, and the Hadith,

according to the Hadith, you know, the woman has put on the same

category as a, as a dog walking by, or, you know, so I should only

heard this is I completely disagree. How dare you. And she's

I used to be in the Prophet Muhammad salams room, and he would

pray while I'm right next to him. And sometimes when he would come

down in sujood, he would make you know, he would he would, as soon

as you would come down, I would have to move out of the way

because of the limited space. So you misunderstood the Hadith. Let

me explain to you what is meant when he said this outside to the

public. Well, let me actually, let me tell you also, other things

like, you know, when it comes to when it comes to a hadith about

inheritance, a hadith about the end of times, many things that the

companions had, in terms of an opinion I showed her the Alana

would be there to correct that opinion, because she had direct

access to the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam. And there are

books that are published on that subject opinions of the companions

that were corrected by Aisha, Radi Allahu Ana.

She was known for her determination and her confidence,

she was very confident from the very beginning. So she would ask

very curious questions, she will say, Oh, Sue Allah, what is meant

by this is what is really meant by this, what is meant by that? How

does this make sense in terms of this? So she would ask those

questions. And if for example, in question is your suit Allah, the

Hadith about how in the day of on the Day of Judgment, people are

going to come to Allah subhanaw taala unclothed? How is that going

to be? So many? She's imagining the ayat. She's imagining the

Hadith. And he says, Yeah, everybody's going to be on that

day minding their own business. This makes sense. So she was

curious who would ask those questions? There's one one

incident that very interesting in it when we look at the Prophet

Muhammad Salah has a relationship with with ash. It's incredible, so

many lessons that we can learn from there. You know, for example,

and maybe some of them would take the cup after he drank and he

would rotate it, and she will say, What are you doing out of solar?

I'm looking for the place where you lips touch so I can drink from

the same spot. To show that respect. She wants ask the metal

solo. Do you love me? Of course I love you, Asha. Tell me how much

do you love me? Beautiful composition between husband and

wife? Because yeah, Aisha I love you. My love for you. If you want

to look for a symbol of my love for you imagine a rope that is

tied onto itself like a loop.

So you know when people say a ring is round, it turns forever. And

that's how long we'll be together that kind of stuff. Right? So let

me so let me saying my love for you is infinite. It's looping. I

love you so much that you know, like it's like a knot together

held together strong enough. So she would once in a while See ya

rasool Allah How was the not doing so and maybe some made her secure

in that relationship?

Ship. Wish you could ask any question where she felt

comfortable to ask any question. And she contributed to the

confidence of the tambourine and the Sahaba women that were around,

and that would cover students as well that would come after that.

She was also amazing at reading people and reading situations in

and she knew the Prophet Mohammed Salim so well, on his deathbed.

She looked at the Prophet Muhammad cinemas, and she She always tried

to say without him saying anything. So she quickly grabbed

the miswak all the other women like how did you know? It's like I

know my husband. I know my husband. So she gives him his work

and he smiles, he appreciates it. Of course, he is sick, he can say

much. And she tries to use them as well. They doesn't have the

strength. So she uses her own hand.

And he said, How did you know I know my husband? Subhanallah you

know, there's one one incident and the Prophet Muhammad salams that

there's actually in our books of our books of narrations where I

share with Alana it's a long story but she's she's she's saying the

story of 11 women talking about all the qualities in men and

things that happen, things like that. So I shall run is narrating

this of the Prophet Muhammad salam to get his input.

So what do you imagine? I shall run is talking for half an hour an

hour, maybe even two hours continuously about this long

story. And the Prophet Muhammad Salim is listening to her and

interrupting, listening completely. And then finally he

comments and how she should you know she should proceed. And then

many times we just listened to her for a long time just venting,

talking, making himself available, giving her that security, giving

her that security. One incident that really really highlights her

strength, her tenacity. Her confidence is what happened in the

if when people miss, you know how the Lakota level attributed

terrible things accused her of terrible things. Whether it

whether they verbalize that or they didn't assume that or not,

you know, people accused her of infidelity, how does it lift

mentioned in sort of a norm? Now, of course, the rumors got so so

toxic, that it affected the relationship with an abuse of our

salon. And when he walked into the house, Mother evaluation of a

worker told her you know, say something to said, What do you

want me to say? I have nothing to say whatever I say at this moment,

it's going to mean nothing to anybody. All that I can say is

what Abu Yusuf the father of us have said to his his children.

Right well Lahoma stand for saloon Jammie wala Hindustan metal. So

all that I can say is May Allah give me beautiful patience. And

Allah's help is what I seek regarding the things that you

attribute to me, and the things that you say and the things that

you describe. So we'll get that confidence strength. Finally, when

the ayat of the Quran will reveal proving her innocence. What does

she say? She says, I never thought of myself worthy enough to have a

ton of Quran revealed about me. Abu Bakr his wife says she should

thank your husband. I don't think anybody on this day except ALLAH,

immeasurable Salah Salem is theirs and I'm not gonna thank you. I'm

thanking Allah subhanho wa Taala because he is the one who set the

record straight. And there is no justice beyond the justice of

ALLAH SubhanA tab. So look, despite the love that she had with

Rasul Solomon, and there was a lot of love you know, that, that that

beautiful story of love. And the most beautiful story of love that

we have in our tradition, is a story of a new Salam with Felicia

and there's only so Salam, Salam Salam with ASHA with Alana to the

point where one of them had defeated would narrate from

Russia, they would say, I heard from heavy but Rasulullah Sawsan,

that beloved of Rasulullah, Salah, Salah, that was what she was known

as.

And that's how she would transmit this hadith and her teachings to

the community. As we mentioned, she founded a school of fish.

She disputed the Sahabas opinions when she had evidence and despite

the fact that she was number four in terms of the quantity of the

Hadith, there are many a hadith was she was the only one narrating

because she was paying attention to Rasulullah Salah and she was

the only one to notice. And in many times she corrected the

perceptions of the companions towards women, and more

importantly even towards some main principles within and peripheral

issues within the Sharia. So when it comes to the codification of

the Sharia and when it comes to the foundations and the text and

how to deal with it, I shouted Allahu anha plays a central role

in all of that. May Allah Subhana Allah bless us all Europe Amelie

Allah keep you steadfast keep a sincere. Here's a small glimpse

from the life of Aisha to encourage us to learn more, to

connect more and of course, to challenge the way that we look at

our sisters and to give them options

didn't invest and to allow for that potential that teaching

potential that inspiring potential that confidence in our sisters and

our daughters and our mothers to grow because that woman will fail

and we'll set them on a coma rahmatullahi wa barakato
