(After previous part)
After fasting for the whole day, They (Saiyidatu Nissaai Ahlil Jannah, Hajrat Zahra ’ Alaihas Salaam and Hajrat Asadullaahil Ghwalib, KarramAllahu Wazhahu RwadiAllahu Ta’ala Anhu) would now go for ‘Iftar’ (breakfast). All arrangements have been made accordingly. Right at this time, one orphan boy approaches their home, banging on the doors, ‘May I have something to eat please? I’m starving for last few days!’ When that orphan boy called in, Saiyidatu Nissaai Ahlil Jannah, Hajrat Zahra ’ Alaihas Salaam told Hajrat Asadullaahil Ghwalib, KarramAllahu Wazhahu RwadiAllahu Ta’ala Anhu, “We took our ‘Sahri’ (early morning meals before fasting) last night, isn’t it? Now this orphan boy telling he’s been without food for few days! So, whatever Iftar arrangement done for us, let us give away the stuff to him!” They offered the food items to the boy and took water for Themselves for Iftar. SubhaanAllah!
At night again, they could take something for Sahri and went fasting the next day. The next day again, some arrangements had been duly made while Iftar time was approaching. Moments before Iftar, some poor fellow arrived and banging the doors, expressed, ‘I am a ‘masakin’. Please get me something to eat; I am without food for couple of days’. Hearing this, Saiyidatu Nissaai Ahlil Jannah, Hajrat Zahra ’ Alaihas Salaam told Hajrat Asadullaahil Ghwalib, KarramAllahu Wazhahu RwadiAllahu Ta’ala Anhu, “We took our ‘Sahri’ last night, isn’t it? This masakin has been without food for few days! So, let us give away our food stuff to him!” They offered the food items to the boy and took only water for Iftar. SubhaanAllah!
And then on the third day, They again went fasting taking some Sahri before that. When they were about to take Iftar on the third day, one ‘Asir’ (prisoner) approached. He was starving for last couple of days and some food items would have been appreciated. Hearing this, Saiyidatu Nissaai Ahlil Jannah, Hajrat Zahra ’ Alaihas Salaam again uttered the same words to Hajrat Asadullaahil Ghwalib, KarramAllahu Wazhahu RwadiAllahu Ta’ala Anhu, “We took our ‘Sahri’ last night, isn’t it? This Asir has been without food for few days! So, let us give away our food stuff to him!” They offered the food items to the man. SubhaanAllah!
Allah Pak, on being pleased on such an A’amal (practices), sent down the Ayat Shareef,
ويطعمون الطعام على حبه مسكينا ويتيما واسيرا. انما نطعمكم لوجه الله لا نريد منكم جزاء ولا شكورا
Allah Ta’ala Sends down Ayat Shareef toward Noor-e-Mujassam, HabeebAllah, Nabee of the Nabee Alaihimus Salaam, Rwasool of the Rwasool Alaihimus Salaam being extremely pleased on Him, on the Ahle Baeet Alaihimus Salaam, particularly Saiyidatu Nissaai Ahlil Jannah, Hajrat Zahra Alaihas Salaam because of their rare A’amal (practices and conducts). What People were Them and what conduct did They do that Allah Ta’ala Liked Their acts so much, specifically Saiyidatu Nissaai Ahlil Jannah, Hajrat Zahra Alaihas Salaam, Hajrat Asadullaahil Ghwalib, KarramAllahu, Wazhahu RwadiAllahu Ta’ala Anhu, Those Who sacrifice Their own food for the sake of orphans, masakin and prisoners only for earning the satisfaction of Allah Pak and Noor-e-Mujassam, Habeebullah, Huzur Pak Swallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam. SubhaanAllah! And They do not ask any returns for it! Only the Satisfaction! These things are like that. Their dignity, status, honour and blessings are unprecedented, unparallel.
As it has come in Hadis Shareef, Noor-e-Mujassam, Habeebullah, Huzur Pak Swallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam Dictates:
سيدة نساء اهل الجنة حضرت فاطمة الزهراء عليها السلام بضعة منى
“Saiyidatu Nissaai Ahlil Jannah, Hajrat Zahra Alaihas Salaam is indeed a piece of flesh of My Body Mubarwak. SubhaanAllah! فمن احبها فقد احبنى .
Those who adore Her in fact adore Me! SubhaanAllah! ومن اغضبها اغضبنى
And those who are malicious toward Her, are in fact hostile to Me!” Na’oo’zubillah! It is needless to mention about Their dignity and status, ranks and rewards. How much dignity and status have They been awarded? Saiyidatu Nissaai Ahlil Jannah, Hajrat Zahra ’ Alaihas Salaam and all always sought for the satisfaction of Noor-e-Mujassam, HabeebAllah, Nabee of the Nabee ’ Alaihimus Salaam and Rwasool of the Rwasool ’ Alaihimus Salaam, Huzur Pak Swallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam while they did it for the contentment of The Creator, The Lord, Allah Pak as well.
There is an incident narrated in the Hadis Shareef. Once, Noor-e-Mujassam, HabeebAllah, Huzur Pak Swallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam made a dress all by Himself and sent it to Saiyidatu Nissaai Ahlil Jannah, Hajrat Zahra ’Alaihas Salaam as Hadia (gift). When that piece (of Dress Mubarwak) reached Her, just at that time, a poor woman appeared and approached her, ‘Let me have a dress please!’ These are points to ponder as to how Allah Pak Communicated their dignity and status, blessings and benefits to the people, the Ummah, male and female. The poorly woman begged Her, ‘It would be nice if I had a dress now’. Now Saiyidatu Nissaai Ahlil Jannah, Hajrat Zahra ’ Alaihas Salaam wondered, ‘Previously She had an old set with Her, and now a new one has reached; which one should She donate, the old one or the new one?’ She concluded, Allah Ta’ala Dictated,
لن تنالوا البر حتى تنفقوا مما تحبون
“Till such time, you donate the best of your stuff, you won’t earn any virtues or satisfactions (of Allah)”. SubhaanAllah! So long you do not give away the most likeable item of yours as a gift, you don’t get that satisfaction. Now the Ummah must be taught on this aspect, lessons to be imparted and advices to be disseminated. Who shall do it? It’s Them! What She did, She Donated that new piece of dress to that needy woman. SubhaanAllah! Allah Pak, the Merciful, the Creator Is otherwise always Happy on Them, which are exposed only sometimes. Allah Did it this time. What was that action? Instantly Allah Ta’ala Sent Hajrat Jibreel Alaihis Salaam with a set of ‘Jannati Libaas’ (heavenly dress) to Noor-e-Mujassam, HabeebAllah, Huzur Pak Swallallahu Alaihi Wa Salam. SubhaanAllah!
Noor-e-Mujassam, Habeebullah, The Nabee of the Nabee ’Alaihimus Salaam, The Rwasool of the Rwasool Alaihimus Salaam, Huzur Pak Swallallahu Alaihi Wa Salam Knew things; yet Ya Rwasoolullah! Ya HabeebAllah Swallallahu ’Alaihi Wa Sallam! The Dress Mubarwak that You Did Hadia, was so much liked by Saiyidatu Nissaai Ahlil Jannah, Hajrat Zahra ’Alaihas Salaam Who adored it much! She didn’t really want it to give away but since Allah Pak Dictated to donate the best likeable stuff, She did it. And now that, Allah Pak became pleased on this action and therefore, Sent down a pair of dresses from the Jannah (Paradise). SubhaanAllah! There is no over-emphasizing on the dignity and status, blessings and benefits of Theirs. They were unmatched in making grants and donations. It has been narrated in Honour of Noor-e-Mujassam, HabeebAllah, Huzur Pak Swallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam that, He Donated so much and did them in the speed of more than strong winds. SubhaanAllah! And what to talk about the part of His Life, His Flesh and Blood; He would obviously Do it that way! (Incomplete)
