- So Jibreel Alayhi Salaam has already come
to give salaam specifically
to the woman that the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
loved most, the best woman of this Umma,
Khadijah radiAllahu Anha and give her the glad tidings
of her home in paradise.
Now, after she passes away,
we know that this was a period of great sadness
for the Messenger SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And Rasulullah SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
did not get married for some time.
And eventually Khaula radiAllahu Anha comes
to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
and suggest to him to get married to two women.
(somber music)
So, she brings up Sawda radiAllahu Anha
who's old and who can be motherly to his children.
And she's also particularly distinguished
with her laughter and also Aishah radiAllahu ta'ala Anha
who she introduces as the daughter
of the most beloved person to you. Okay.
So it was Khaula radiAllahu Anha
who first came to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
and suggested Aishah radiAllahu ta'ala Anha.
However, it would be some time
before the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
would marry Aishah radiAllahu Anha
because, it would be until she would reach her age.
However, there is another dream
that the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam says,
and in that dream, the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
sees Jibreel Alayhi Salaam once again.
And Jibreel Alayhi Salaam approaches
the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam in this dream
and he shows the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
a green cloth made of silk.
And on that green cloth made of silk
is an image of a Aishah radiAllahu Anha
and Jibreel Alayhi Salaam says,
Inna Hathihi Zawjatukah Fiddunya Wal Akhirah
this here is going to be your spouse
in this dunya and in the hereafter.
So SubhanAllah Jibreel Alayhi Salaam
who just gave Khadijah radiAllahu Anha the glad
tidings of what she's going to, is now telling
the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
what comes next for him.
And that would be Aishah radiAllahu ta'ala Anha
would spend so much time
with the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
and of course, would be his joy, and would document
the life of the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
in such detail for us.
And this would be the woman that would be
around the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
in his moments of privacy, in his moments of worship,
in so many different moments where he's interacting
with Jibreel Alayhi Salaam.
So you just think about the amount
of times she would have interacted
with the angels in the presence
of the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
during his
Qiyam.
which she narrates more than anyone else.
And there's a specific narration where
Abu Salama bin Abdur Rahman,
he said, I asked Aishah radiAllahu Anha,
how would the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
start his prayer?
So she said, when he used to get up
and he would pray at night,
he would start his prayer with the words
Allahuma Rabba Jibreel wa Mikaeel wa Israfeel
fatira assamawatiwal-ardi AAalima alghaybi washshahadah
anta tahkumu bayna AAibadika fee ma kanoofeehi yakhtalifoon
Ihdini Bimakhtulifa Feehi minal Haqq
Innaka Tahdee Man Tashaa' ila Siratim Mustaqim
So, O Allah, the lord of Jibreel
and Mikaeel and Israfeel, Creator of the heavens
and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen,
you are the One who judges between your slaves concerning
that which they differ over.
O Allah, guide me to the disputed matters of truth,
or through those differences to the truth
for You are the One who guides to the straight path.
So Aishah radiAllahu ta'ala Anha is narrating the way
that the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
is calling upon Allah, and invoking Allah,
first and foremost, before the Lord
of the heavens and the earth,
the Lord of the angels
and naming these angels in particular.
Now did Jibreel Alayhi Salaam ever himself interact
with Aishah radiAllahu Anha?
Aishah radiAllahu ta'ala Anha,she says
that the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
once said to me,
Yaa Aishah, O Aishah, Haatha Jibreel YaqraU Alaikas Salam
Jibreel Alayhi Salaam is here,
and he sends you salaam.
So Jibreel Alayhi Salaam specifically
names Aishah radiAllahu Anha to send salaam to her.
And Aishah radiAllahu ta'ala Anha responds
and she says
Wa alayhis Salaam warahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
and upon him is salaam and Allah's mercy and His blessings.
And she says,
Yaa Rasullulah taraa maalaa Araa
O Messenger of Allah, you see things that I don't see.
SubhanAllah, you are seeing this and I don't see it.
This was Jibreel Alayhi Salaam coming in his angelic form.
There are also times that Aishah radiAllahu Anha
would see Jibreel Alayhi Salaam in human form,
which we will talk about from a distance however.
So, this is the woman who Jibreel Alayhi Salaam would come
to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam most
in her presence.
And this is something
the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
mentioned as one of the
FaDaa'il
And one of the virtues of Aishah radiAllahu Anha
that there is no person
who Jibreel Alayhi Salaam came to him in her presence,
in any human being's presence, like Aishah radiAllahu Anha.
And of course, even to the very moment of his death,
when the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam's body and soul
was perched against the chest of Aishah radiAllahu Anha.
In his last moments,
while the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam was having
that conversation with Jibreel Alayhi Salaam
where he was given the option
to stay amongst his followers on earth
or to join the highest companion,
it would be in the hands
and the arms of Aishah radiAllahu ta'ala Anha
with the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam responding
and his soul leaving his body.
So Aishah radiAllahu Anha has experienced
a mighty journey of interactions
with Jibreel Alayhi Salaam.
And she used to mention this as well
from
FaDaa'il
from her virtues that, Jibreel Alayhi Salaam
was the one who proposed on her behalf,
that Allah sent Jibreel Alayhi Salaam
with the declaration of her innocence.
That Jibreel Alayhi Salaam used to come to her
with salaam. That Jibreel Alayhi Salaam used
to come to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
with revelation frequently while she was in his presence.
However, she also notes that there's one person
that's surpassed her in this regard.
And in one of the narrations where she says,
Wallahi,
I was never jealous of any woman,
the way I was of Khadijah.
And, she starts to mention
that the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam used
to mention Khadijah radiAllahu Anha so much,
and the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
would not sacrifice except
that he sent something to her friends.
And then she mentions at the end
of this narration and Allah sent Jibreel Alayhi Salaam
to give her the good news
of having a palace of Qasab in Paradise.
So even though Aishah radiAllahu Anha
encountered Jibreel AAlayhi Salaam
and had the experience of having salaam delivered
to her from Jibreel Alayhi Salaam,
she did not have what Khadijah radiAllahu Anha had
of the
Bushraa
the glad tiding of that particular palace of Qasab
in Paradise.
