Who
does not know
about the love that the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) had for
his dear
wife Sayyidatina Aishah (Radhiyallahu anha)? It is said that when he was asked whom he loved most, he replied, "Aishah".
She was so well-versed in Islamic
jurisprudence that many eminent Sahabah
would
go to her for solving their problems in this field.
Jibrail
used to greet
her with 'Assalamo alaikum'. The Prophet once
told her that she would be his wife in the Paradise. When she was
slandered by
the Munafiqin, Allah exonerated her
from the
slander and confirmed her innocence by revealing verses in the Qur'an.
According to Ibn Sa'd (Radhiyallahuanho),
Sayyidatina
Aishah (Radhiyallahu anha) once enumerated as many
as ten special virtues that Allah had given her over the other wives of the Prophet (Sallallaho
alaihe
wasallam).
In
spite of all these
privileges
and virtues, she feared Allah so much that
she was
often heard saying; “I wish I was a tree, so that I could be always
busy in
Allah's tasbih and be absolved of reckoning
on the
Day of Judgment". "I wish I had
been a stone or a clod of earth". "I
wish I had been a leaf of tree or a blade of grass". "I wish I had
not been born at all".
