Umm Ma'bad

Travelling to move the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam who accompanied his companions, Abu Bakr Ash-Siddiq radi' anhu took place secretly, avoiding the pursuit of Quraysh. The ride was not light. In the midst of Makkah-Madinah hopeless journey, they stopped in a tent, a place to stay a couple who always give a dinner to people who stop there. Amazing event was happening in the life of a woman named Umm Ma'bad.

Ma'bad Umm Al-Khuza'iyah, Atikah bintu bin Khalid bin Khalif bin Rabi'a bin Ashram Munqidz bin Dhabis bin Haram bin Habsyiyah bin Salul bin Ka'b ibn 'Amr from Khuza'ah. She was married to her cousin, Tamim bin 'Abd al' Uzza bin Munqidz bin Rabi'a bin Ashram bin Dhabis bin Haram bin Habsyiyah bin Salul bin Ka'b ibn 'Amr from Khuza'ah. They were blessed with a son who they named Ma'bad. With this name they kunyah.

They both live in Qudaid, between Mecca and Medina. But perhaps they never thought they would be a dwelling place with haven envoy praises Allaah there.

Umm Ma'bad is a woman determined and tenacious. He used to sit on the porch of his tent, giving food and drink to anyone who passes his tent.

Meanwhile, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam and Abu Bakr radi' anhu want to continue the journey back after hiding for three days in the cave. Slave Abu Bakr, 'Amr ibn Fuhairah accompany them. Also a signpost, Abdullah bin 'Uraiqith Al-Laitsi that come on the appointed day brought two mounts belonging to the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam and Abu Bakr. Monday morning they departed.

Tuesday, they got Qudaid. The four of them stopped at the tent of Umm Ma'bad. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam and Abu Bakr asked for bacon and dates that he had. They want to buy it."If we have something, you certainly will not have difficulty in obtaining the banquet," said Umm Ma'bad. When it is the lean times, the goats were childless.

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam saw a female goat beside the tent. "Why is this goat?" He asked. "He left behind from other goats because of the weak," said Umm Ma'bad. "Is he still put out the milk?" Asked the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam again. "In fact, he was more trouble than it is!" Said Umm Ma'bad.

"Do you allow when kuperah milk?" Asked the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. "Perhaps, for the sake of my father and mother," said Umm Ma'bad. "When you see he can still be milked, milk!"Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam rubbed goat milk bags that while the name of Allaah and pray. In that instant, a female goat milk bag was bulging and enlarged. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam asked vessels in Umm Ma'bad, and milking goats were in the vessel until it is full. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam submit it to Umm Ma'bad vessel. Umm Ma'bad was drinking milk until full. After that he gave it to the other until they were full. Then he drank the milk.

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam milking goats it again to meet the vessel. He left behind a vessel filled with milk it for Umm Ma'bad, then they move on.

Shortly thereafter, the husband of Umm Ma'bad come ushering goats thin and weak. When looking at a vessel of milk, he asked in astonishment, "Where's the milk? Though we are not goats give birth at home and no one could be milked goats! "

"By Allah," said Umm Ma'bad. "There was a man blessed through here. Between words, such and such .... "

"By God," said Abu Ma'bad, "I'm sure, he was one of the Quraish who are they looking for? Describe to me, how the characteristics, O Umm Ma'bad! "

Umm Ma'bad also describe the nature of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam saw, "He's really cute. Beaming. Good stature, not fat, not small head, looking handsome. Jet-black eyes, long eyelashes. Hoarse voice slightly hoarse, and neck level. Bushy beard, his eyes jelly like bercelak. His eyebrows arched length with both ends meet, her hair jet black. When silence, he looked dignified, when talking, he seemed friendly. Very nice and beautiful views from a distance, very handsome seen up close. Sweet-spoken, not a little speech, nor excessive, words like strands Marjan. Medium stature, not be underestimated because it was short, not too reluctant eyes looking at him because it was too high. He's like halfway between the two branches, he was the most handsome and the most noble of her other three. He has friends who surrounded him. When he spoke, they listened to his words carefully. When she ordered something, they immediately serve and obey his orders. He never surly and not rambling speech. "

Hearing narrative, Abu Ma'bad said sure, "By Allah, he is definitely the Quraysh who were they looking for. I was determined to accompany him, and really I would do if had way for it! "

Day full of goodness from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. On that day, Umm Ma'bad converted to Islam [~ historian others say, Umm Ma'bad came to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam after the event to declare his Islam and allegiance. And Allah knows best ~]. Narrated, goats Umm Ma'bad were swabbed by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam longevity. The goat was still alive until the reign of 'Umar Ibn al-Khattab radi' anhu year 12 H and always put out milk when milked, morning and afternoon.

Ma'bad Umm Al-Khuza'iyah, may Allaah pleased with her ....
