حَدَّثَنَا
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
عَيَّاشُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ ، عَنْ
الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الضَّمْرِيِّ ، أَنَّ
أُمَّ الْحَكَمِ أَوْ
ضُبَاعَةَ ابْنَتَيِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ حَدَّثَتْه , عَنْ إِحْدَاهُمَا ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : أَصَابَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبْيًا فَذَهَبْتُ أَنَا وَأُخْتِي وَفَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَشَكَوْنَا إِلَيْهِ مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ وَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ لَنَا بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ السَّبْيِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ وَسَلَّمَ : " سَبَقَكُنَّ يَتَامَى بَدْرٍ لَكِنْ سَأَدُلُّكُنَّ عَلَى مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُنَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ تُكَبِّرْنَ اللَّهَ عَلَى إِثْرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً وَثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ تَسْبِيحَةً وَثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ تَحْمِيدَةً وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ " ، قَالَ عَيَّاشٌ : وَهُمَا ابْنَتَا عَمِّ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Umm Al Hakam or Dubaah daughters of Al Zibair bin Abd Al Muttalib said “Some captives of war were brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I and my sister Fatimah, daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ went (to the Prophet) and complained to him about our existing condition. We asked him to order (to give) us some captives. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “the orphans of the people who were killed in the battle of Badr came before you (and they asked for the captives). But I tell you something better than that. You should utter “Allaah is Most Great” after each prayer thirty three times, “Glory be to Allaah” thirty three times, “Praise be to Allaah” thirty three times and “there is no god but Allaah alone, He has no associate, the Kingdom belongs to Him and praise is due to Him and He has power over all things. ” The narrator Ayyash said “They were daughters of Uncle of the Prophet ﷺ. ”
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
If anything were to be given to these noble ladies, it would have been from the khums, but perhaps all of that, along with the spoils of war and so on, had already been distributed among the orphaned children of the martyrs of Badr.
➋
The Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), in matters of material assistance, used to give priority to those in greater need, especially the families of the martyrs.
And regarding his own relatives, his (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) preference was that they live a life of sufficiency and contentment.
➌
The noble ladies of Ahl al-Bayt, like the women of the general Muslim community—even the Mothers of the Believers (Ummahat al-Mu'minin)—all used to perform all the household chores in their own homes.
The statement of some jurists that nothing is obligatory upon the wife except to show affection to her husband
(is contrary to the practice of the best generations and to the statement of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) mentioned in the following hadith).
➍
The remembrance of Allah and adherence to it is a cause of goodness and blessings in both this world and the Hereafter, whereas the benefit of a servant is limited only to this world.
And in the Hereafter, there is the matter of accountability in addition to this.
➎
This narration also contains the point that the fatigue which results from a day's labor
can be alleviated by the comfort that comes from having a servant,
and similar comfort can also be attained through these tasbihat (words of glorification).
