Oppressions

Number 620:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle said, "When the believers
pass safely over (the bridge across) Hell, they
will be stopped at a bridge in between Hell and
Paradise where they will retaliate upon each other
for the injustices done among them in the world,
and when they get purified of all their sins, they
will be admitted into Paradise. By Him in Whose
Hands the life of Muhammad is everybody will
recognize his dwelling in Paradise better than he
recognizes his dwelling in this world."

Narrated Safwan bin Muhriz Almazini:
While I was walking with Ibn 'Umar holding his
hand, a man came in front of us and asked,
"What have you heard from Allah's Apostle
about An-Najwa?" Ibn 'Umar said, "I
heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'Allah will bring a
believer near Him and shelter him with His Screen
and ask him: Did you commit such-and-such sins? He
will say: Yes, my Lord. Allah will keep on asking
him till he will confess all his sins and will
think that he is ruined. Allah will say: 'I did
screen your sins in the world and I forgive them
for you today', and then he will be given the book
of his good deeds. Regarding infidels and
hypocrites (their evil acts will be exposed
publicly) and the witnesses will say: These are
the people who lied against their Lord. Behold!
The Curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers."

Volume 3, Book 43, Number
648:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
I had been eager to ask 'Umar about the two
ladies from among the wives of the Prophet
regarding whom Allah said (in the Qur'an saying):
If you two (wives of the Prophet namely Aisha and
Hafsa) turn in repentance to Allah your hearts are
indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet
likes) (66.4), till performed the Hajj along with
'Umar (and on our way back from Hajj) he went
aside (to answer the call of nature) and I also
went aside along with him carrying a tumbler of
water. When he had answered the call of nature and
returned. I poured water on his hands from the
tumbler and he performed ablution. I said, "O
Chief of the believers! ' Who were the two ladies
from among the wives of the Prophet to whom Allah
said:
'If you two return in repentance (66.4)? He
said, "I am astonished at your question, O
Ibn 'Abbas. They were Aisha and Hafsa."
Then 'Umar went on relating the narration and
said. "I and an Ansari neighbor of mine from
Bani Umaiya bin Zaid who used to live in 'Awali
Al-Medina, used to visit the Prophet in turns. He
used to go one day, and I another day. When I went
I would bring him the news of what had happened
that day regarding the instructions and orders and
when he went, he used to do the same for me. We,
the people of Quraish, used to have authority over
women, but when we came to live with the Ansar, we
noticed that the Ansari women had the upper hand
over their men, so our women started acquiring the
habits of the Ansari women. Once I shouted at my
wife and she paid me back in my coin and I
disliked that she should answer me back. She said,
'Why do you take it ill that I retort upon you? By
Allah, the wives of the Prophet retort upon him,
and some of them may not speak with him for the
whole day till night.' What she said scared me and
I said to her, 'Whoever amongst them does so, will
be a great loser.' Then I dressed myself and went
to Hafsa and asked her, 'Does any of you keep
Allah's Apostle angry all the day long till
night?' She replied in the affirmative. I said,
'She is a ruined losing person (and will never
have success)! Doesn't she fear that Allah may get
angry for the anger of Allah's Apostle and thus
she will be ruined? Don't ask Allah's Apostle too
many things, and don't retort upon him in any
case, and don't desert him. Demand from me
whatever you like, and don't be tempted to imitate
your neighbor (i.e. 'Aisha) in her behavior
towards the Prophet), for she (i.e. Aisha) is more
beautiful than you, and more beloved to Allah's
Apostle.
In those days it was rumored that Ghassan, (a
tribe living in Sham) was getting prepared their
horses to invade us. My companion went (to the
Prophet on the day of his turn, went and returned
to us at night and knocked at my door violently,
asking whether I was sleeping. I was scared (by
the hard knocking) and came out to him. He said
that a great thing had happened. I asked him: What
is it? Have Ghassan come? He replied that it was
worse and more serious than that, and added that
Allah's Apostle had divorced all his wives. I
said, Hafsa is a ruined loser! I expected that
would happen some day.' So I dressed myself and
offered the Fajr prayer with the Prophet. Then the
Prophet entered an upper room and stayed there
alone. I went to Hafsa and found her weeping. I
asked her, 'Why are you weeping? Didn't I warn
you? Have Allah's Apostle divorced you all?' She
replied, 'I don't know. He is there in the upper
room.' I then went out and came to the pulpit and
found a group of people around it and some of them
were weeping. Then I sat with them for some time,
but could not endure the situation. So I went to
the upper room where the Prophet was and requested
to a black slave of his: "Will you get the
permission of (Allah's Apostle) for Umar (to
enter)? The slave went in, talked to the Prophet
about it and came out saying, 'I mentioned you to
him but he did not reply.' So, I went and sat with
the people who were sitting by the pulpit, but I
could not bear the situation, so I went to the
slave again and said: "Will you get he
permission for Umar? He went in and brought the
same reply as before. When I was leaving, behold,
the slave called me saying, "Allah's Apostle
has granted you permission." So, I entered
upon the Prophet and saw him lying on a mat
without wedding on it, and the mat had left its
mark on the body of the Prophet, and he was
leaning on a leather pillow stuffed with palm
fires. I greeted him and while still standing, I
said: "Have you divorced your wives?' He
raised his eyes to me and replied in the negative.
And then while still standing, I said chatting:
"Will you heed what I say, 'O Allah's
Apostle! We, the people of Quraish used to have
the upper hand over our women (wives), and when we
came to the people whose women had the upper hand
over them..."
'Umar told the whole story (about his wife).
"On that the Prophet smiled." 'Umar
further said, "I then said, 'I went to Hafsa
and said to her: Do not be tempted to imitate your
companion ('Aisha) for she is more beautiful than
you and more beloved to the Prophet.' The Prophet
smiled again. When I saw him smiling, I sat down
and cast a glance at the room, and by Allah, I
couldn't see anything of importance but three
hides. I said (to Allah's Apostle) "Invoke
Allah to make your followers prosperous for the
Persians and the Byzantines have been made
prosperous and given worldly luxuries, though they
do not worship Allah?' The Prophet was leaning
then (and on hearing my speech he sat straight)
and said, 'O Ibn Al-Khatttab! Do you have any
doubt (that the Hereafter is better than this
world)? These people have been given rewards of
their good deeds in this world only.' I asked the
Prophet . 'Please ask Allah's forgiveness for me.
The Prophet did not go to his wives because of the
secret which Hafsa had disclosed to 'Aisha, and he
said that he would not go to his wives for one
month as he was angry with them when Allah
admonished him (for his oath that he would not
approach Maria). When twenty-nine days had passed,
the Prophet went to Aisha first of all. She said
to him, 'You took an oath that you would not come
to us for one month, and today only twenty-nine
days have passed, as I have been counting them day
by day.' The Prophet said, 'The month is also of
twenty-nine days.' That month consisted of
twenty-nine days. 'Aisha said, 'When the Divine
revelation of Choice was revealed, the Prophet
started with me, saying to me, 'I am telling you
something, but you needn't hurry to give the reply
till you can consult your parents." 'Aisha
knew that her parents would not advise her to part
with the Prophet . The Prophet said that Allah had
said:--
'O Prophet! Say To your wives; If you desire
The life of this world And its glitter, ... then
come! I will make a provision for you and set you
free In a handsome manner. But if you seek Allah
And His Apostle, and The Home of the Hereafter,
then Verily, Allah has prepared For the good-doers
amongst you A great reward.' (33.28) 'Aisha said,
'Am I to consult my parents about this? I indeed
prefer Allah, His Apostle, and the Home of the
Hereafter.' After that the Prophet gave the choice
to his other wives and they also gave the same
reply as 'Aisha did."

Allah's Apostle took an oath that he would not
go to his wives for one month as his foot had been
sprained. He stayed in an upper room when 'Umar
went to him and said, "Have you divorced your
wives?" He said, "No, but I have taken
an oath that I would not go to them for one
month." The Prophet stayed there for

father?" The baby replied that his father was

them to make it of mud only."
