Not
only doing Zikr about the Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ, blessed companions
and blessed Sahabiyyat رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُم is a matter of great
privilege for us but the parables of these holy personages are also guidance
for us. Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Sa’d رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْھا is also one of these great
and blessed personalities.
Brief introduction
Sayyidatuna
Umm-e-Sa’d’s name was ‘Jameelah’ but she رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْھا became known as ‘Umm-e-Sa’d’
which was her Kunyat. ‘Sayyiduna Sa’d Bin Rabi’ Ansari Khazraji رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ’, an
illustrious and glorious blessed companion of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ
وَسَلَّمَ, was the father of Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Sa’d رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْھا. He رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ was the
same Sa’d Bin Rabi’ who was made ‘Deeni Bhai’, Islamic brother of Sayyiduna ‘Abdur
Rahman Bin ‘Awf رَضِیَ
اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ when the Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ established a relationship of brotherhood between
Muhajireen and Ansaar. (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp.
75, Hadees 2293) Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Sa’d’s mother name was Khallaadah
Bint Anas Bin Sinaan.
Blessed birth
Sayyidatuna
Umm-e-Sa’d رَضِیَ
اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْھا was born after her blessed father had embraced martyrdom in the
battle of Uhud. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ took the responsibility of
bringing her up and took care of her in an excellent way. (Al-Isaabah, vol. 8, pp. 401)
Revelations about
inheritance laws
After
the demise of the father (رَضِیَ
اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ) of Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Sa’d رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْھا, her uncle usurped entire
wealth depriving the wife and daughters of his brother following the practice
of pre-Islamic era and left them with nothing.
Blessed
wife of Sayyiduna Sa’d Bin Rabi’ رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ, along with her two
daughters, came in the blessed court of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ
وَسَلَّمَ and humbly said, ‘Both [these girls] are the daughters of Sa’d
Bin Rabi’. Father [of these girls] has been martyred in the battle of Uhud and
their uncle has usurped their entire wealth. Their marriages will only be possible
when they have something.’ The Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ
وَسَلَّمَ said, ‘Allah Almighty will make a judgement for you.’
Thereafter,
blessed Ayahs regarding laws of inheritance revealed; after the revelation of
these blessed Ayahs, the Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ sent a
message to the uncle of Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Sa’d رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْھا asking
him to give 2/3 of the wealth to both daughters of Sa’d, 1/8 to their mother
and the rest of the wealth is his. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi,
vol. 4, pp. 28, Hadees 2099)

Mu’allimah of Quran
Dawood
Bin Haseen said, ‘I, along with ‘Musa Bin Sa’d’, grandson of Sayyidatuna
Umm-e-Sa’d, used to learn Glorious Quran from Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Sa’d رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْھا.’
Siddeeq-e-Akbar رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی
عَنْہُ laid chador
One
day Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Sa’d رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْھا came to the house of
Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ, he رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ laid chador for
her. In the meantime, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ also
arrived and humbly asked, ‘Who is this young girl?’ Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ said, ‘She
is the daughter of that man who had the honour
of being the ‘Naqeeb’ [chief] of Khazraj tribe, who privileged to take part in
the battle of Badr; [who], embraced martyrdom in the battle of Uhud and who got
his abode in Jannah. It means she is a daughter of Sa’d Bin Rabi’ (رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ).’ (Al-Isaabah, vol. 1, pp. 49)
