Book Name:Farooq e Azam ka Ishq e Rasool

Farooq-e-A’zam pleased the Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللّٰہ تعالٰی علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said: The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was once very sad and grieved, went to him and asked the servant to seek permission for my entry, the servant went in, asked the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and then returned saying, ‘I have spoken to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and mentioned you but he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم observed silence.’ I then returned and sat with a group of people sitting near the pulpit. But I could not bear this situation and once again I said to the servant, ‘Will you seek permission for ‘Umar?’ He went in and returned, saying, ‘I mentioned you to him but he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم observed silence.’ When I returned again the servant called me, saying, ‘The Noblest Prophet   صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has given you permission.’

I then entered and saw the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم lying on a bed made of stalks of date palm leaves and there was no bedding between it and him. The stalks left marks on his side and he was leaning on a leather pillow stuffed with date-palm fibres. I greeted him and while still standing I said       to please him, ‘اَسۡتَاۡنِسُ يَا رَسُوۡلَ اللّٰهI want to talk to you and cheer you up,         O Allah’s Prophet (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم)? We, the people of Quraysh used to have power over our women, but when we arrived in Madinah we found that     the men (here) were overpowered by their women.’ The Holiest Prophet      صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم smiled and then I said, I approached Hafsah and said to     her, ‘Do not be tempted to imitate your companion (SayyidatunaAaishah   رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا), for she is more charming than you and more beloved to the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.’ The Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم smiled for a second time. (Sahih Bukhari, Kitab-un-Nikah, vol. 3, pp. 460, Hadees 5191)

 

Dear Islamic brothers! Ponder over this parable. Sayyiduna ‘Umar Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ could not tolerate the Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم falling into any kind of grief or sadness, therefore, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ intended to cheer him up and finally he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ succeeded in his blessed purpose and the Prophet of Rahmah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم smiled at his efforts. Think seriously! On the one hand we observe the state of the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم who become sad when they find the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم grieved
