Our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her
O Aisha, protect yourself from Hell, even with a half of dates
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was keen to raise his wives to do good deeds
He used opportunities to teach them, guide them, and correct their path
This is from his love for them, may God bless him and grant him peace
Love between spouses requires advice to the other party
And making sure that he is saved from Hell on the Day of Resurrection and that he wins Paradise
From what the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, taught Aisha, may God be pleased with her, the issue of charity and what to give in charity
On the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to her
O Aisha, protect yourself from Hell, even with a half of dates
It blocks the hungry person as it blocks the full person. Narrated by Ahmad
O Aisha, this gentle call is repeated with us in the hadiths of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
With the Mother of the Believers, Aisha, may God be pleased with her
Which indicates that this is the approach of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
In calling his wives by the beautiful name that the wife loves
How beautiful is the name of our mother Aisha in pronunciation and meaning
God made us among those who love it, support it, and draw closer to God thereby
This hadith contained important educational directions
Among them is the importance of protecting oneself from Hell, even with a small amount of charity
As in his saying, may God bless him and grant him peace
O Aisha, protect yourself from Hell, even with a half of dates
It indicates that all humans on the Day of Resurrection will be exposed to Hell
It is in front of them in the crowd and there is no escape from passing by it
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, guided his wife, Aisha, may God be pleased with her
To a simple work that will protect her from the fire, its heat, its flames, and its torment
It is giving a portion of the dates in charity
He has known about women throughout the history of our nation
Her love for charity and kindness to people
But it may sometimes be burdensome on the pretext that what it will produce is little and will not be enough for those in need
Therefore, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, guided her to give charity
Even if it is half a date, it will protect her from the fire
Ibn Hajar, may God have mercy on him, said
That is, if protection is done by giving charity in the form of one date, it will be beneficial
This laziness in giving charity with little is evident among women
Therefore, the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, directed women to give a small amount in charity in more than one hadith
From that, may God bless him and grant him peace
O Muslim women, do not despise a neighbor to her neighbor, even if he raises a horse
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
Ibn Battal, may God have mercy on him, said
It encourages gifts and museums, even if it is small
Because it attracts affection, removes resentment, and selects neighbors
And because of its cooperation in the matter of living for the living
Also, if the gift is small
It is more indicative of affection and less burdensome
It will be easier for Al-Mahdi to assign the task
This is laziness in giving little in charity
It may stem from self-doubt
What could this little do to the needy, poor, hungry person?
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, removed this suspicion from the soul of Aisha, may God be pleased with her
Before you fall into it
By saying
It blocks the hungry as it blocks the full
Ibn Hajar, may God have mercy on him, said
It is as if what unites them is their sweetness
That is, the one who is full eats it, enjoying its sweetness
The hungry person eats it, enjoying its taste and sweetness
This upbringing bore fruit in Aisha, may God be pleased with her
So I gave in charity a little and a lot
On the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, she said
A woman entered with her two daughters asking
You did not find anything with me except a date
So I gave it to her
So she divided it between her two daughters and did not eat from it
Then she got up and went out
Then the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, entered upon us
So I told him and he said
Who among these girls has been afflicted with anything?
Be a cover for him from the fire
Narrated by Al-Bukhari
Aisha only found one date in her house
So I gave it in charity in compliance with what I learned from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Since she had a lot, she gave it in charity as well
Urwa said
One day, eighty thousand people came to it from Muawiyah
She did not have a dirham
Her maid said to her
Did you buy us meat for a dirham?
She said if you had reminded me, I would have done so
Imam Al-Ghazali, may God have mercy on him, mentioned the conditions of asceticism
He mentioned five cases
Then he said
And behind these five conditions
A state that is higher than asceticism
It is that the presence and loss of money are equal to him
If he finds it, he will not be happy about it and will not be harmed
Even if he loses it
Rather, his condition was the same as that of Aisha, may God Almighty be pleased with her
One hundred thousand dirhams came to her as a gift
So I took it and separated it from that day on
Her maid said
I couldn't do anything different today
To buy us meat for a dirham to slander us
And she said
If you reminded me, I would
This is how he is
If the entire world were in his hand and his treasures
Didn't hurt him
Because he sees the money in the treasury of God Almighty, not in his own hands
It makes no difference whether it is in his hand or in the hands of someone else
Can we protect ourselves from Hellfire by splitting a date in this holy month?
Do we raise our husbands in this way?
We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
Our mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her
