Ladies Spirit and Fear of ALLAH ( Aisha R-A)

Hazrat Aishah Gets Angry with his nephew Hazrat Ibn-Zubair

Aisha gets angry with Ibn-Zubair :

Abdullah-bin-Zubair was Aisha's nephew. He was very dear to her as she had brought him up. He did not like her spending so much in charity while she herself lived in want and poverty. He mentioned this to somebody and said :
"I must  stop her from doing that"

She learnt about it and was so much upset that she swore not to speak with Abdullah for the rest of her life. Abdullah-bin-Zubair (Radhiallaho anho) was very much shocked by her oath. He disputed many people to speak to her for him but she told them, "I have taken an oath and I am not prepared to violate it." He, at least took two persons from the family of the prophet's mother to her house to intercede for him. Aisha (R-A) allowed the persons to enter the house and to speak to her from behind a curtain. Ibn Zubair (Radhiallaho anho) also stealthily got in with the persons. When the persons started talking, he could not control himself aand crossed the curtain and fell at the feet of her aunt and entreating her for pardon. The two persons also interceded and reminded her of the Prophet's forbidding a Muslim from discarding speech with another Muslim. When she heard this hadith she got Scared of ALLAH's displeasure and the result thereof and began to weep very bitterly. She forgave zubair and began to speak with him. She was then liberating slave after slave in expiation of her oath till 40 slaves had been set free by her. Even later on whenever she thought of the violation of her oath, she wept so much that her shawl would become wet with her tears.
How much do we worry for the oaths we take from morning till evening? It is for everyone to examine his own self and answer. Come and see the people who had real reverence for ALLAH and his name, how much did they feel when they were unable to fulfill an oath. We see
Aisha (R-A) weeping so much when she remembered that incident about the violation of her oath.

Aisha and Fear of ALLAH :

Who does not know about the love that the Prophet (PBUH) had for his dear wife Aisha (R-A) ? It is said that when he was inquired whom he loved most, he replied, Aisha. She was so well versed in Islamic jurisprudence that many eminent Sahabah would go to her for solving their problems in this feild. Jibrail used to greet her with 'Aslam o Alikum'. 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 Quran.
According to Ibn-saad, Aisha once enumerated as many as ten special virtues which ALLAH had given her over the other wives of the Prophet(PBUH). Her spending in the path of ALLAH has already been narrated in the previous posts. In spite of all these privileges and virtues she feared ALLAH so much that she was often heard saying:

"I wish I were 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 clot 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."

The stories about the awe and the Fear of ALLAH which Sahabah had in their hearts have already been given in later posts. This was the guiding factor of their lives.
