Patience of a wife Bismillahir rahmanir rahim Hadith: One of the sons of Abu Talha became sick and died and Abu Talha at that time was not at home. When his wife saw that he was dead, she prepared him (washed and shrouded him) and placed him somewhere in the house. When Abu Talha came, he asked, "How is the boy?" She said, "The child is quiet and I hope he is in peace." Abu Talha thought that she had spoken the truth. Abu Talha passed the night and in the morning took a bath and when he intended to go out, she told him that his son had died, Abu Talha offered the (morning) prayer with Rasulullah (SAW) and informed Rasulullah (SAW) of what happened to them. Rasulullah (SAW) said, "May Allah bless you concerning your night (That is, may Allah bless you with good offspring)." Sufyan said, "One of the Ansar said, 'They (i.e. Abu Talha and his wife) had nine sons and all of them became reciters of the Quran (by heart).' " Source: Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 23, Number 388 SubhanAllah!!!!!!! What a truly amazing example of a wife and a mother's patience :-* This is why the generation of the companions (may Allah swt be pleased with them all) was the best that ever existed :) [slm] :-) |

[slm] Jazakalla sister there is no doubt it's a model hadith for today's mothers and wives. I think the same hadith is also narrated with additional text that Holy Prophet [saw] asked Abu Talha (rau) "Did you have sex with your wife last night?" Abu Talha (rau) replied in affirmative then Holy Prophet [saw] prayed for both of them and rest of the hadith is same. |
