Elite Followers #05 Zainab RA

As Mother, she is still in the hospital. So please make dua that all these brothers and sisters who are sick in our community or wherever any anyone who is sick, may Allah subhanaw given them Shiva and anyone who's Jeremy sick it is not an easy situation to be in. So we pray to Allah that Allah makes that situation easy for them insha Allah. So today in the series elite followers, which we talked about the Sahaba the wiser, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Today I wish to cover the Xena bands, which means that they are to Zeno's who the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he married. There was one Xena vinta Hoceima are the Allah Tala Aha, and there was one Xena Binta

geohash for the Allahu Taala on her and I wish to cover both of them today. So since the the biography of Xena vintage a hush is a longer one, so we will keep that for we'll keep that for later. And we will first talk about Xena bento Zima. And who she was, first of all, is that to know who's databind because Emma was she was one of the very first people to accept Islam and accept the message of Rasulullah sallallahu ala he was sending them. She later on married Abdullah bin geohash Rhodiola ion, and she was amongst the first group of people who migrated to Abyssinia. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam loved Abdullah bin geohash And he was amongst the population family. And

so since he was close to him, he knew him. He therefore appointed him as a leader of the free first group that went to IB Sr. 's Edom into geohash Rhodiola

Xena Pinto Zima Rhodiola Tirana was of course, a woman who was very generous and he also understood his leadership skill, whatever money she would have, she would always give it away. And this was her nature even before she became the wife of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when she came into the marriage of the Prophet alayhi salam, this was after the Hijra of Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wasallam. She had already adopted and she had already adopted the nickname as the mother of the poor, the mother of the poor, and you know, there's a hadith there's a dua of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, where the Prophet alayhi salam, he says Allahumma Heaney, Myskina what a myth ni

Myskina and give me death as a poor person. Why should ni fi zoom Ratan Misaki in the Oh Allah make me during this life? Make me live as a poor person. And on the Day of Judgment, when I am reckoned and resurrected, make me amongst those who are the Miskin now the ALMA they generally they discuss that why would the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say this? And when the Prophet of Islam even makes his dua, does that mean that there is something wrong in being rich? If a person has money is there anything wrong in being rich? First of all, is that we know that there is nothing wrong in being rich. In fact, when you study the Sahaba of the Allah Tala and home, there were some that who

are extremely rich, they were gifted, they were blessed by Allah subhanho wa taala. But the difference between people and the Sahaba, who were blessed, from a financial point of view, comparing them to people in general who are blessed financially, what we have seen is that when people are given money, and they are truly blessed, except for very few people tend to deviate from the right path. So for some money becomes a fitna, and for some people, money does not become a fitna, there are some people who are extremely rich, and they don't deviate from the path of Allah subhanho wa taala. And yet Allah continues to give them and there are some that who are given by

Allah, and that is a means of them deviating. So here the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is not saying anything, that it is wrong to have money, but this is a Dr rustless Allahu alayhi wa sallam, because keeping in mind is that even though we do want so much money, we always make dua for Baraka in money. We ask Allah to give us more and more, but we have to always be careful. And what do we ask for? And number two, we have to always be cautious about the fact that when we ask for money, when we ask for Allah subhanaw taala, for more and more than I do keep in mind is that on the Day of Judgment, there will be more accountability on the Day of Judgment, there will be more

accountability. If there's a person who's a miskeen, who doesn't have anything, that his or her accountability will be shortened before a person who has a lot of money and you have to account and answer Allah for every single penny that you earned. As the Prophet SAW Allah while you're saying he mentioned in the Hadith that this is something that a person you will be asked that well, I'm

malema, aka Saba, who were female and *a. Where did you earn your money from? And where did you spend it? This is something that we will be asked about on the Day of Judgment. So Xena mental Hoceima was someone who was very generous now. Before this is so she was married to absorb in geohash they migrated to abbyson Yeah, they came back from Abyssinia when the when the command of Hijra came from Allah subhanahu wata Allah, Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he, he he told everyone and they migrated, including Abdullah bin geohash and his wife, Xena mental Hoceima. However, in the third year after Hegira, this was after the Battle of Mohammed Abdullah bin

geohash lost his life and before the day of Hood had even occurred. There's a very famous incident that we learn about blobbin Josh, it is narrated by the son of sad but also the alotta ion, that he says that my father, my father, meaning sadhana, we will cause who was from the ashram Bashara, the 10 people who were given the glad tidings of paradise and this dunya Cybil because tells his son that one day before the Battle of our herd, Abdullah bin geohash came to me and he said to me, that let's make dua for each other, and the other one has to say, Amen. So he said, Okay, so they go and they begin to make dua, Saad, la casa de Allah Tehran, he first makes do it says, oh, Allah,

tomorrow will be a battle. Tomorrow, we will be facing our opposition. Create a situation for me, that I come in front of my enemy, and I overpower him, and I defeat him. And I do this only for your sake. Abdullah bin geohash is standing there and he says, I mean, Abdullah bin geohash. Now he comes and he makes begins to make dua and he says, Oh Allah, let me meet a furious man. And I will fight him in your cause. And let him take hold of me and cut my nose off. Cut my ears off. So that when on the Day of Judgment, I need you, Oh Allah, and I am missing a nose. I am missing an ear. And you asked me on the day of judgment that oh Abdullah, where is your nose and where is your ear? I can

say on the Day of Judgment that oh Allah I lost them for your cause. I lost them for your cause. Now, stopping here for a second and just making a side note here. Look at the Sahaba the alotta on home and their, you know, just the love that they had to meet Allah subhanho wa taala. For them this life was nothing that for them this life was nothing departing from this world in the state of being a Shaheed and being a martyr was more to them than anything else. It was more dear to them than anything else. So you see that Abdullah bin geohash his dua, sadhana we were constantly Ultron is standing right there. And what does he say? He says, I mean, the next day saga we will call it says

that the door was that we made the day before the before. The next day we saw our do as being accepted the way we had asked. And then he also said that Abdullah bin geohash his dua was better than my dua I should have asked to become shaheed but Abdullah bin Joshi asked for it and Allah who gave him the status of being a martyr. Later on, it says that

a beloved judge of course, his body was mutilated, and he was of course his nose was his ears were cut off his nose was cut off. Nonetheless, he lost his life so xenophobia Allah Tala Ironheart there are in Medina and she is now in the state of grief. She is going Of course, she had to spend her Ada, but nonetheless she is in a state of sorrow in grief by losing her husband. That is when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he proposed to her and as soon as the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam proposed to her, she accepted the in the proposal of the Rasul Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam without any hesitation, and she married the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, but soon

after the marriage, tourists who lost Allahu alayhi wa sallam, approximately eight months after that marriage, she passed away, and she is the only other wife besides Hadith or the Allah Allah anha who died during the lifetime of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam besides Khadija to the Allah Allah Allah Allah and Xena Radi Allahu Allah, Allah, all the other wives of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they remained alive at the time of the death of

was was Allahu alayhi wa salam. So Xena bento Zima was one who also passed away. Of course we do know that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam loved her very much the Prophet sallallahu it was setting them. He talked about her. And of course, as I mentioned earlier that she was of course, a very obedient, she was very obedient to her husband to begin with, and her becoming the wife of the saw sal Allahu alayhi wa salam, if she was obedient to Abdullah bin geohash. You can imagine how obedient she was. To those who Allah said Allahu Allah, he was sending them the Promise of Allah who it was sent to make dua for her and that Allah Subhana Allah forgive her and give her give her Jana

and make the stages aka easy for her. So this is a vintage Hoceima now Xena Binta geohash Sonia Allah Tala Anna, this story of of Xena Binta geohash is one that if you say the books of history, you will see that whenever Xena vinta geohash is mentioned Zaven Hadith that well the Allah Tala is always mentioned. But today since we're only covering the whys of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam I will not get into so much detail about Zaven Hadith that are the along the line and how he was adopted by Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but while we do know is that the mention of Xena BigInteger hash Zeto the Allah Tala iron is clearly mentioned in certain HAZOP if you want to

study you can go back to

the beginning few I had in fact I in number four to five. And not only that, but even I believe I remember 33 to 36 these are all our yard or 36 or 38. These are all I had regarding the marriage between Zaid or the alotta line and Xena Rhodiola Aha, and then their divorce, and then her marriage with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now to begin with, we know that Zenonia Allah that iron was a person who was a slave of tourists who also Allahu alayhi wa sallam, his father comes looking for him. He comes to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he says, and he began to praise the Prophet alayhi salam. He says that you are from the Qureshi tribe. You are the grandson of

Abdulmutallab who was a very prestigious in a very noble man. And he began to say some other things in the praise of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. The Prophet alayhi salam asked the Who do you Who are you talking about in what do you want? Just you know, get to the point. What do you want? They said that we are the parents. I am the father of zayde. This is the uncle of Xavier, the Allah Tala Zaid, and we want to come we have come we have brought you some gifts. Please accept these gifts and give us back our son. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that I cannot give you zayde Unless it is his wish. If it is the wish of Zaid, I don't want your gifts. You keep

your gifts, take it back and say can go back with you. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he calls it on the alotta line. He asked him, do you recognize these two people? He says yes, this is my father. And this is my uncle than the Prophet it is I'm asked him. Do you know why they have come here? He says that I assume they have come looking for me and they found me here. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then said to say that you have a choice, no pressure on you at all. If you want to go back with them, you're free to go. Even though you're my slave, I will free you you can go back with your family and enjoy your life. And if you wish to stay here with me, then that is

your choice to the Zeto the Allah Tala. And what did he do? He said that how can I prefer anyone above you? How can I prefer anyone above you? Even though I am a slave, and we know how masters generally treated their slaves. But you are a unique master. You are a master that has never shown anger. You have never yelled at me. You have never mistreated me, or ill treated me. How can I give preference to anyone above you? He chose to stay with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The problem is that Allahu Allah, he was sending them because of this gesture of Zaid, he took Zaid all the way to the Kaaba. And it was a general practice at that time, that whenever you want it to make

everyone aware of something you're doing, you will go to the Kaaba and you will make an announcement. And when anyone will go to the Kaaba and make an announcement. Everyone will stop. They would pay attention to the announcement. Listen to the announcement and then they will go about their their, their their matters. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam took Zaid all the way there. And he made that opening announcement that from today, I have adopted zayde as my son. I have adopted zayde as my son. Now, it was a general practice amongst Muslims that they would adopt. At the same time there were other implications

change when you would adopt someone. Now zayde has become the son of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now he becomes, you know, he's, he's a grown man, the Prophet sallallahu. Adi was sending wishes that he, you know, he gets he get him married, he's looking for a suitable spouse. Now on the other hand, you have zeta built the geohash. Zainab integer harsh, was a woman who was from a very noble lineage. She was, you know, she was young, she was beautiful. She was intelligent. And also what is mentioned about her is that so many people because of her, because of her lineage, she was from the highest branch of the bunu acid, tribe or clan. And since this was a procedures, tribe and

clan, there were so many proposals I came to her, and because she thought that none of these people who are proposing to me are of my caliber in terms of my lineage, she would turn down all the proposals, she would turn down all the proposals now, the Prophet sallallahu, ala he was sending them came, and he called her one day and he says, he says, Xena, I have in mind someone for you to get married to. And she said, Who is that? And he said, and he says Zayn, Zaid Bin Khalifa of YOLO, Tehran, immediately, Xena went into like a state of shock. Like she was really shocked that I have turned down so many different proposals, because there are never even close to my lineage. Here we

have someone who used to be a slave. And the Prophet SAW was sort of what's mean to get married to him. Now, Xena, she never said anything at that time. And she went away. She went to her brother Abdullah and a blob in geohash and said that this is what the person wants me to do. What do I do? So Abdullah said, okay, don't worry about it. Let me go talk to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, so I do I've been Jehovah she comes to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and says that are you pleased that do you really want Xena to marry Zaid? And the Prophet SAW Allah Psalm says yes, I mean I wasn't joking about it. I'm serious about it. So I'm Allah then said that if you are

pleased, then we are we want to do what pleases you. We want to do what pleases you. Now, even though even though Xena was reluctant, she said yes, because there is an idea and so that is our Allah subhanaw taala says, Woman I can only mean in one minute in that it is not befitting for any believer, man or woman, either called Allahu wa rasuluh Allah when Allah and His Prophet SAW Selim has decided upon a matter for them. And yet Gunilla, whom Allah here Ottoman Ambani him, that they have any choice after that. So Xena was thinking over here that because this is a decision of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam, and the Quran says that I don't have any choices after that.

So even though she was reluctant, she said yes. And she got and you know, she said, Yes, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam conducted their marriage. Now, someone may ask the why did this marriage take place? Okay, why did his marriage take place now to begin with? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

was a man that when he brought Islam, there were so many practices that were taking place in society. For example, if you attend the the sort of Nisa that I conduct on Saturday mornings, you will learn and I've covered a lot of practices that used to take place. So she a lot of injustices that will take place with orphans, and especially with women, like women had no rights at that time Islam came and gave them rights. After the after they would get divorced. They had no rights Islam came and gave them rights. They never had rights in inheritance is some came and said no, you know what they have also a share in the inheritance they also become an heir of the deceased person. So

Islam came and abolished so many practices about Islam abolished the practices of worshipping idols. Islam came in abolish the practices of casting laws and deviation by arrows. Islam came and abolished the practices of masters degrading slaves, and stays being treated like animals. Islam came and abolished the practices of usury and interest. It also abolished the practices of when people will become intoxication and Islam abolished. Adultery and when people used to bury their female, their females and their girls alive. Their young ones alive Islam came in abolish that practice. Islam abolished the practices of fortune telling and sorcery, Islam came and abolished the

practices of tribalism and looting and stealing and theft. Islam did all this and also Islam abolished and took away racism

and racial discrimination. Now, someone may ask that, you know if you say the books of fic there is a chapter in Kitab Nica called kita. Bible Khufu Bible Khufu, it talks about that how when two people are about to get married, you have to look at their status, you have to look at their lineage. And Islam does not say that if there's one person who is if there are two people who are from totally two different backgrounds, they cannot get married to each other. Islam does not say that some says that they can get married. But also look at Khufu. There are a few areas that you have to look at, make sure that their personalities match, they are compatible with each other, then

they get married. Now someone could ask the why did the Prophet SAW Allah who it was send them knowing that was Zaid, whose aid is his background? And knowing Hussein of is in her background? Why do the problems or Sanlam suggest their marriage? The answer to that question is the reason the problem is some he did this was to really to get rid of the racial discrimination and the status this the statuses between the people and how they would differentiate for one another and how they would boast and be arrogant about this, that I'm higher than you and status I'm higher than you and status because of my my because my tribe, the province of Santa one to get rid of that amongst the

Muslim community and that's why he brought both of them together. But when you studied the marriage between Zainab and Zaid, it did not last long. Because no matter even though they were married, Zagel the Allah Tala I not once, but numerous times, he would come to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he was worried. He was confused and he was also like, sort of depressed, and he will also he will complain to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that time after time, Xena, you know, in a very subtle manner, indirectly, she always reminds me and she always she always reminds me and tells me that in terms of lineage, she is always she always comes from a better family than I

do. She always brings that up. And and so one time Dave came he complained, the province Allaha some said don't worry, inshallah make dua we will you know, I'll talk to her, he will console Zaid or the Allah the line and then they will go away and then as they again they will come back he will complain about the same thing. And the problem is sent him he will say don't worry about it, and just kept on going on and on. Until the Zaid said to the Prophet SAW Salem that jasola I can no longer take this. I just I just can't take this anymore. And that is when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he realized that this is not going to be this is not going to be I mean this

marriage won't last and therefore he calls in as in with the Allah Tala on her talk to her and a divorce was was established between zayde and Zenodo. The Allah Allah Allah Now, the Prophet sallallahu ala he was sending them he himself was now in a very difficult situation. First of all, is that in so that it has Allah subhanaw that I mentioned very clearly, is that the children that you may adopt, they are you are not to give them your last name, like Zayn, like Zaid was not called they've been highly thought before he was called Zayn. Zaid Bin Mohammed. So Allahu alayhi wa sallam, but when Allah subhanho wa Taala in the Quran, he says that, that through whom leave him

they call them by their father's name, do not give them your name, give them your father's name. This is a rule in Islam that if you adopt children, then you cannot give them your last name you have let them keep in let them keep their last name number one. Number two is that they are not your biological son, and therefore, you may adopt them as your your son, but the laws that apply to a biological son will not apply to a adopted son. So therefore Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was told about this but

but the people in the society I remember this is happening in Medina. You had who living in Medina, naughty naughty Qureshi people who were in Mecca you had the Jews who are living in Medina, they were, they were very well aware of the fact that first of all, in their practice is according to their belief, if you adopt a son, then he becomes equivalent to your biological son. And if you if there is someone who is some also says that you cannot get married, you cannot get married to the wife. Even though they are divorced, you cannot get married to the ex wife of your biological son. Now when Xena was divorced by Zenonia Allah Tala Island

Allah subhanahu wata, Isla says and so that reserve that we have put you or Muhammad in Zainab into a marriage. Now when this came, this didn't concern the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam because he's thinking to himself, that when I when I read this idea to the people and people are going to come to know that I have married Xena Rhodiola Unha. What are people going to say? What are people going to say? Allah subhanho wa taala. Immediately he consoled the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam and he says that it will law who are hackle and Tasha

will law Haku Untaek sha Allah says what action nurse you will feel the people will Allahu wa Quan Tasha. The only one who you should fear is other people is only Allah subhanho wa taala. If Allah is deciding something for you, you should not be hesitant at all about this. And therefore, Xena of the Allahu dal, Xena, rhodiola Unha was put into the marriage with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and this was a Nika that was not taking place on Earth. This was a Nikka that was taking place and the one who conducted this marriage and this Nika was Allah subhanho wa taala. And that's why Zeno the Allah Tala on her later on, even when she was with the otherwise of Rasulullah

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, she will always remind them too, that who I am, I am Xena from this lineage. But at the same time, she would always boast that all of you women, all of you wives also so Allah hottie was sending them. Your marriage took place on the faces Earth, my marriage, to please know Allah subhanho wa Taala my Nika was on by who? Allah subhanahu wa taala. So this was Xena Rhodiola on her now one thing, one point I want to make here is this. You know when people talk about it, so the Allah Tala Anna and people and how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you know, especially sama Fobes they talk about the how can a man you know, 53 years old, get married to

someone who is you know, or someone who was 53 years old, consummate the marriage with a young girl who is of nine years old. So this is something that's out there. And you know, one scholar gave a really good answer. He was called to give a really, really good answer. He says that, during the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you had the parade who are always against the Prophet alayhi salam. So that means that if the Prophet were to do something which was against the norms of society, the Quran would have addressed it. I mean, it does not make sense that the Prophet alayhi salam would do something abnormal and the Quran will not will not come after the profit. If

the profit is something abnormal operation will come after the profit. While in Medina, if the profit is something that was against the norms of society, then the people will come the Jews living in Medina, they would have come behind the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when the Prophet Mary, Zainab did the people come after the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? Yes, they did.

Yes, they did. As soon as the prophet married Xena and this this Nikka was done. The people came after us Rasul Allah Salam, that how can a man marry the ex wife of his son and then people began to even spread rumors, then oh, the beloved Dalek that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was attracted to Xena. And he therefore persuaded Zaid to divorcing her so that he can marry her the whole load of poetry in Lebanon. That is not what happened. This marriage between Zane Zane of did not they were not getting along. And it was Allah subhanho wa taala, who before it was even the prophet who proposed to her it was Allah Subhana Allah who put them into a marriage. So we do know

for a fact that when the Prophet Mary Zane up, the Jews came out for the Prophet SAW Allah while he was sending them. Here's my question. If marrying, I shall have your lotta Unha for a man of that age with the girl of that age, if there was something wrong with that the Jews of Medina would have come after the Prophet sallallahu it was sending them the Qureshi people would have come on behalf of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but neither did the Jews come after the Prophet Sal. Well, why do you send them neither the police came after the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam which tells you what, that it was a norm of society.

It was a normal society now, things are different today. Things are different times change, practices change, culture change, but during that time, that was the practice that was a practice. So we should always keep that in mind. Now, last thing is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was one time sitting with his wives. And he said that the very first person to accompany me in the arcade I mean that the very first person to who will depart from this one

Old after me is the one with the longest hand, the one with the longest hand. So all the ones of the problems said on the stand up, they stood up, they began to measure their hands, okay, who has the longest time who has long as when they began to measure their hands now when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said this, they, they were measuring their hand, they were trying to interpret the statement of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and try to they're trying to create some meaning after the, you know, they were trying to create some meaning of the statement of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. But they realized, after the death of Rasulullah sallallahu, ala he was

sending them that it was a number of Yolanda on her

who passed away and she said

and she said, You know what, as was mentioned, that she you know, what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam meant, by having a long hand was the one who was most generous, the one who was most generous and we do know that the that out of the wise the resource alojado some even though there were some very generous women, Zeno the Alana was extremely generous. So so that's, you know, this is just about Xena, Viola Anna. Also Zina Rhodiola. And when the time when I should have the alotta on her when she was going through that difficult moment about the story of if that is mentioned to note in the Quran. One of the people who gave her a lot of support was the animal the Allah Tala AHA

and also as mentioned about Xena with the Allah Tala and had that before she passed away. She even said to her family members that when I die, oh my god Allah Tala and he will send a coffin he will send a shroud for me. I want you to take that shroud that is given by Almighty Allah the line and give it to some poor person that they may use it and the shroud that I've created for myself, I want you to use that for me. However, when this when she passed away in the shroud came since it was given by Almighty Allah to line in Amara Yolanda and he insisted upon this, therefore,

he they took her shroud and gave that in charity. And they wrapped her in the shroud that was given by amaro the alotta line. So that is, you know, this is Hussein Rhodiola and he was she was also once again very close to the Prophet sallallahu ala he was sending them someone who was very dear to Allah subhanho wa taala. And as I showed you a lot going on and she says that, you know, the profit center would always care for her and look after her also like he will look after all the other wives. So I pray to Allah subhanho wa Taala that May He give us some of the characteristics of these great, noble women who are actually our mothers we call the Omaha Thoreau meaning they are our

mothers. And so we pray to Allah subhanho wa Taala that he gives them the highest award the highest the highest status in Accra Inshallah, and also we pray to Allah subhanaw taala that he gives that he gives us some of the good characteristics that they had embodied.
