44.
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: One of the sons of Abu Talhah (May Allah be pleased with
him) was ailing. Abu Talhah went out and the boy died in his absence. When he came back, he inquired, "How is the
boy?''. Umm Sulaim, the mother of the boy, replied, "Better than before". Then she placed his evening meal before
him and he ate it; and thereafter slept with her. At last, she said to him: "Arrange for the burial of the boy". In the
morning, Abu Talhah went to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and informed him of the event. He enquired,
"Did you
sleep together last night?''
Abu Talhah replied in the affirmative, on which the Prophet (PBUH) supplicated,
"O
Allah bless them.
'' Thereafter, she gave birth to a boy. Abu Talhah said to me: "Take up the boy and carry him to the
Prophet (PBUH)''; and he sent some dates with him. The Prophet (PBUH) enquired,
"Is there anything with him?''
He said; "Yes, some dates". The Prophet (PBUH) took a date, chewed it and put it in the mouth of the baby and
rubbed the chewed date around the baby's gum and named him `Abdullah.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
The narration in Bukhari adds: Ibn `Uyainah relates that a man from the Ansar told him that he had seen nine sons of
this `Abdullah, every one of whom had committed the Noble Qur'an to memory.
The narration of Muslim says: The son of Abu Talhah (May Allah be pleased with him) who was born of Umm
Sulaim died. She (Umm Sulaim) said to the members of the family: "Do not tell Abu Talhah about his son until I
mention it to him myself.'' Abu Talhah came (home) and she gave him supper. He ate and drank. She then beautified
herself the best way she ever did and he slept with her. When she saw that he was satisfied after sexual intercourse
with her, she said, "O Abu Talhah! If some people borrow something from another family and then (the members of
the family) ask for its return, would they refuse to give it back to them.'' He said, "No". She said, "Then hope reward
for your son". Abu Talhah got angry, and said; "You left me uninformed until I stained myself (with sexual
intercourse) and then you told me about my son. "He went to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and informed him about
the matter. Thereupon Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"May Allah bless the night you spent together!''
He (the
narrator) said: She conceived. (One day) Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was in the course of a journey and she was
along with him. When Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to come back to Al-Madinah from a journey, he would not
enter it (during the night). When the people came near Al-Madinah, she felt labour pains. He (Abu Talhah) remained
with her and Messenger of Allah (PBUH) proceeded on. Abu Talhah said: "O Rubb, You know that I love to go
along with Messenger of Allah (PBUH) when he goes out and enter along with him when he enters, and I have been
detained as You see.'' Umm Sulaim then said: "O Abu Talhah, I do not feel (so much pain) as I was feeling earlier,
so we better proceed on. So we proceeded on and she felt the labour of delivery as they reached (Al-Madinah). She
gave birth to a male child. My mother said to me: "O Anas, none should suckle him until you go to Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) tomorrow morning.'' The next morning I carried the baby with me to Messenger of Allah (PBUH),
and narrated the rest of the story.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has many lessons for our social life. For instance:
1. The character of a woman of great patience and gratitude is mentioned here. In spite of the death of her child she
neither wept and cried nor did she moan and mourn. She was patient to the extent that when her husband came home
she looked after all his needs like a loving and obedient wife does and then broke the sad news of the death of their
child in a noble manner. Thus, this Hadith holds the lesson that it is the foremost duty of a wife that she should serve
her husband well and provide comfort and peace of mind to him.
2. It is meritorious for a wife to beautify herself at home for her husband.
