Hazrat Aishah Sayings |
“Don’t be sorry now. If you had told me at that time I would have perhaps given you one darham.”Once Aisha ( Radhiallaho Anho ) received a gift of two bags containing 1,00,000 darhams. She started distributing these among the poor till by the evening not a single darham was left with her. She was keeping fast that day. Her maid servant brought her a loaf of bread and a little olive oil for Iftar and remarked.’ I wish we had kept one darham for ourselves to get some meat for Iftar’. Aisha said:
Gifts of this nature were often reveived by aisha (R-A) from Amir Muawiah, Abdullah-bin-Zubair and others for that was the time of ease and plenty for the Muslims as territory after territory was falling in their hands. In spite of this abundance, Aisha (R-A) led a life of abstention. Look! She distributes 1,00,000 darhams to the poor but she does not remember to get some meat for her own Iftar. In our own atmosphere such stories seem to be impossible but to the people who have understand Sahabah’s frame of mind hundreds of such incidents are quite credible. There are many stories of this nature reported about Aisha (R-A). Once she was fasting and had nothing for her Iftar except one piece of bread. A poor man came and begged for some food. She asked her maid to give him that piece. The maid said:
“If I give him the piece of bread, there will be nothing left for your Iftar.”
She said : “Don’t mind. Let him have the piece.”
Once she killed a snake. She saw a vision in her dream saying:” Aisha you killed a Muslim”
She replied : “ How could a Muslim come into the house of the prophet’s widow ?”
The vision rejoined : “But he had come in pardah”
She abruptly got up from her sleep and at once spent 12,000 darhams in Sadaqah as that was the blood-money fixed for a Muslim killed by mistake. Urwah ( Radhiallaho anho ) says :
“I once saw Aisha ( R-A) spending 70,000 darhams in charity while she herself was wearing a shirt with patches.”
