Book Name:Seerat e Bibi Khadija tul Kubra
Dear Islamic brothers! Umm-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا is the first wife of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. According to one opinion, she رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا had the honour of being the first to embrace faith in the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Her virtues and merits are countless. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم love her dearly, to such an extent that even after her passing, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would remember her often. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would honour her friends so much that whenever something would be presented to him, he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would often send it to them. This abundant remembrance and love became the cause of Rashk (positive envy) of Umm-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا, thus, she رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا herself states, ‘I did not have Ghayrat from any of the blessed wives of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم as much as I did from Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا. Even though I had not even seen her, however, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would mention her frequently.’ (Bukhari, vol. 2, p. 565, Hadith 3818)
Remember! Ghayrat here refers to Rashk (positive envy). Meaning, just as the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would praise Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا so much after her passing, if only he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would mention me like this after my passing too. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 8, p. 496, summarised)
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Honouring the friend of Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا
Dear Islamic brothers! Not only did the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم frequently remember Sayyidatuna Khadijah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا after her passing, but he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would shower her friends with gifts and generosity. Thus, when something would be presented to him, he
