We Need Your 3 Minutes To Read A story of (A
pious and intelligent woman)
••• A pious and intelligent woman •••
Once there was a great alim (Scholar) and
abid (Wise) . He loved his wife very much. Co-
incidentally, she passed away. This person
was so grieved by this that he locked his door
and abstained from meeting and conversing
with people.
A woman from the Banu Israil heard about
this so she went to him. She informed those
who were guarding the entrance to his
house that she wants to ask him a mas'ala
(Question) and that it can only be asked
directly to him. Saying this, she sat down
stubbornly by the door.
The person was informed of this and
eventually permitted her to enter. She said: "I
want to ask you a mas'ala." He replied: "Go
ahead." She said: "I have a neighbour from
whom I borrowed some jewellery. I am
wearing it for quite some time now.
Thereafter she sent a person asking for her
jewellery.
The question I want to ask you is that do I
have to give it back to her?" The alim replied:
"Yes, you have to give it back to her." The
woman replied: "That jewellery was with me
for a very long time. How can I give it?"
The alim replied: "In such a case, you should
give it even more happily because it was out
of her kindness that she allowed you to use it
for such a long time."
When he said this, the woman replied: "May
Allah have mercy on you? Why, then, are you
so sad? Allah had loaned you something and
when He wished, He took it back. (Because) it
belongs to Him." Upon hearing this, the alim
realized his mistake and benefited
tremendously from this conversation.
Lesson ♥ : Look at how this woman put some
sense into this man who was a great 'alim. O
women! You should also bear this in mind
when you have to encounter any difficulty or
calamity. You should also explain this to
others.
