Profiles Of Historical Giants: Aisha, The Wife Of Prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings be upon him), Part 2.

The prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) told Aisha: i will present to you a matter in which you shouldn't rush to decide until you ask your parents permission (knowing that my parents will not command me to leave the messenger of ALLAH) then he recited:

O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter, Then come! I will make a provision for you and set you free in a handsome manner (divorce). But if you desire Allâh and His Messenger, and the home of the Hereafter, then verily, Allâh has prepared for Al­Muhsinât (good­doers) amongst you an enormous reward. (Al-Ahzab 33:28, 33:29)


When Aisha heard these magnificent verses she replied: In which matter should i seek my parents permission, verily i desire ALLAH, his messenger and the hereafter. The rest of the prophet's wives all followed suit when they heard the verse.

Aisha reported that the messenger of ALLAH (may peace and blessings be upon him) used to make a drawing to decide who from amongst his wives would accompany him on his journey. he made the drawing and it was me who won, so i accompanied the prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) on his journey which was after the verse of the Hijab came down. I used to get picked up in a covered suite and set on the camel and i also used to get carried down from the camel in it. When the prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) was done from his invasion and was on his way back to Medina. Aisha stayed back to have privacy to attend to her matters. While she was away the prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) instructed the people to move forward at night, Aisha's suite was picked up and set on the camel as usual, the carriers didn't know the suite was actually empty.

When Aisha came back, she found her camel and the people gone so she made tayamum and waited knowing that the people would come back for her in the place where they left her last, then she fell asleep.

Safouan ibn almuatal was commended by the prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) to stay back and retrieve any items or belongings left on the way by the army. He noticed from far the shape of a human being, came to check and recognized that it was the wife of the prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) because he saw her before the verse of the Hijab came down. Aisha woke up to the sound of safouan saying : "To ALLAH we belong and to ALLAH is our return" then she covered her face. Aisha said: by ALLAH he has not spoken a word to me except "to ALLAH we belong and to ALLAH is our return" then he offered me the camel and guided me all the way until we joined the rest of the group in the hot middle of the day.

When Abdullah Ibn Ubai Ibn saloul noticed them coming, he asked who is this woman?, they told him Aisha then he said: the wife of your prophet spends the night with a man until the morning and he's the one bringing her, by ALLAH she did not escape him neither did he escape her.....Such an atrocious statement against such a pure woman!
