The Woman who Spoke in Ayats……?
The undermentioned incident is narrated by Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu. He was a man of great learning and he lived in the era of the Abbasids. This incident reflects the love and attachment with the Noble Qur’an. It also Manifestates the comprehensiveness of the Noble Qur’an.
An elderly Arab lady was sitting at the trunk of a tree, on the way to Haj. Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu happened to pass that way. He was also heading for Baitullah, for Hajj, and to the Sacred tomb of the Noble Prophet (Sallallaahu ?layhi Wasallam). Seeing this lady very disturbed and in a state of despair, (distressed) he spoke to her. The discussion is recorded as follows:
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah
The lady: “The word from a merciful Lord is Peace” (Surah 36 ayat 58). She meant that the reply of salaam is from Allah, Most High, Himself. She said further: “Those whom Allah sendeth astray, there is no guide for them.” (Surah 7 ayat 186). She meant that she has lost her way.
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: Where are you coming from?
The lady: “Glorified be He who carried His servant by night from the Musjid-e-Aqsa (invioble place of worship) to the Musjid-e-Haraam” (Far distant place of worship) (Surah 17 ayat 1). She meant that she had come from Musjid-e-Aqsa.
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: How long are you in this place?
The lady: “For three nights” (Surah 19 ayat 10).
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: What arrangements are made for your food?
The lady: “And who (Allah) feedeth me and watereth me” (Surah 26 ayat 79). She meant that somehow or the other, her food is provided to her by Allah.
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: Is there any water for Wudhu?
The lady: “And ye find not water, then go to high clean soil and (make tayammum) rub your faces and hands.” (therewith) (Surah 4 ayat 43). She meant that she makes tayammum, due to not finding water.
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: Here is some food. Partake of it.
The lady: “Strictly observe the fast till nightfall” (Surah 2 ayat 187). She indicated that she is fasting.
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: This is not the month of Ramadaan.
The lady: “And he who does good of his own accord (for him) lo! Allah is responsive, aware”. (Surah 2 ayat158) meaning that I have observed an optional (nafl) fast.
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: It is permitted to break the fast when in a journey.
The lady: “And that ye fast is better for you, if you did but know.” (Surah 2 ayat 184)
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: Speak like how I speak.
The lady: “He (man) uttereth no word but there is with him an observer ready” (Surah 50 ayat 18). She meant that since every word of a person is observed and recorded, she is taking precaution by speaking only in the words of the Noble Qur’an al kareem.
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: Which clan do you belong to?
The lady: “Follow not that whereof thou hast no knowledge, lo! The hearing and the sight and heart of each of these it will be asked” (Surah 17 ayat36). She meant those things that you have no knowledge of, nor do they concern you, you are wasting your strength (senses) by enquiring about them.
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: Forgive me. I have certainly made a mistake.
The lady: “Have no fear this day. May Allah forgive you” (Surah 12 ayat 92)
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: Would you like to travel on my camel and meet your caravan?
The lady: “And whatsoever good ye do Allah knoweth it” (Surah 2 ayat 197). Meaning that if you will do this good deeds towards me, Allah will recompense you for it.
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu: Well, then you may mount it. Saying this he made the camel to sit down.
The lady: “Tell the believing men (when confronted by women) to lower their gaze”. (Surah 24 ayat 30). Hadrat Abdullah understood and (turned) looked away. While she was mounting, the camel jerked and her clothes got estrangled in the saddle (dorsers) and she proclaimed: “whatever of misfortune striketh you, it is what your hands have earned.” (Surah 42 ayat 30). In other words she was drawing Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak’s radi Allahu anhu attention towards this mishap.
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu understood and he tied the legs of the camel and he straightened the straps of the saddle (or dorser). She applauded him for his proficiency and capability by saying “And we made Sulaiman to understand” (Surah 21 ayat 79). When the journey was about to begin, the lady recited the ayats which are read when undertaking a journey “Glorified be he who hath subdued these unto us, and we were not capable (of subduing them). And lo, unto our Lord we are returning.” (Surah 43 ayat 13). Hadrat Abdullh bin Mubarak radi Allahu anhu he
