Wife of the Prophet
Sayyidah Fatimah az - Zahra bin Muhammad
Fatimah Az Zahra, the youngest daughter of Prophet Muhammad with Siti Khadijah, is no stranger to Muslims around the world. Allah Swt has promised paradise to Fatimah who also became the role model of Islamic women
The Prophet was blessed with a beautiful daughter named Fatimah Az-Zahra for her marriage to Siti Khadijah. The name Fatimah Az-Zahra means the girl who is gentle in heart and always beaming.
There are many opinions about when this noble woman was born. One of the most popular among Ahlussunah wal worshipers is the 20th of the Final Friday as the date of birth of Fatimah Az-Zahra.
This noble woman has great faith, constancy and piety. As a woman who grew impressive, many men who intend to propose the Prophet's daughter.
Until finally Fatimah Az-Zahra chose the figure of Ali bin Abi Talib as her husband who later became caliph continued the minutes of leadership of the Prophet Muhammad.
His marriage to Ali ibn Abi Talib according to the Prophet was not an arbitrary marriage.
Prophet Muhammad when he rejected the proposal of many men other than Ali he said, "The marriage of Fatimah is a heavenly affair and requires the decree and law of God."
On his wedding day, Fatimah Az-Zahra got a gift in the form of a necklace from Ali bin Abi Talib. In the future, there is an interesting story between Fatimah Az-Zahra with this special necklace.
Once, there was a traveler who met the Prophet at a mosque. The traveler then asked for the Prophet's mercy because his food and all his property had been exhausted.
Even the traveler also explained that the clothes he had were only attached to his body at that time.
The Prophet then apologized to the traveler because at that time he did not have food or other things that could be given to the traveler. Then the Prophet told the traveler to go to the house of the Prophet to ask for help from his daughter, Fatimah Az-Zahra.
Arriving at the house of the Prophet, the traveler immediately met Fatimah and explained the purpose of her arrival.
Fatimah Az-Zahra who had a soft heart then thought how to help the traveler even though at that time Fatimah also did not have something to give to the traveler
The historic necklace was also given to the traveler to be sold and the results can be used to buy travel needs.
After receiving the necklace from Fatimah, the traveler then returned to the Prophet and told him about the new incident.
Hearing the story of the traveler, a friend of the Prophet named Ammar bin Yasir then bought the Fatimah necklace. Ammar's best friend bought it at a fantastic price of 20 dinars plus a dress and a camel.
After the necklace was in Ammar's hands, he immediately sent his slave to give the necklace to its owner, Fatimah Az-Zahra.
Ammar said to his servant, "Go to the Messenger of Allah and say I give him this necklace and you. So, from today on you are not my slave anymore but the slave of the Prophet."
The Ammar slave also fulfilled the trust given by his employer and handed over the historic necklace.
Knowing that, Fatimah then received her necklace back and freed the slave to make the slave laugh.
The boy said, "I laughed in amazement and amazement at the necklace's blessing. The necklace filled the hungry, covered the naked, fulfilled the poor man's wishes and finally freed a slave."
Such is the story of the sincerity of Fatimah Az-Zahra and her wedding necklace. May we take his lesson.
To live a marriage and make life
The couple Ali and Fatimah lived a rough life, with jobs as water bearers and bread makers. One day, Ali complained of his back hurting while Fatimah felt the same on her hands. The two then went to the house of Prophet Muhammad to ask for a slave. The Prophet refused the request and went to his second house. Ali opened the door and Fatimah was still in bed. Prophet Muhammad then sat among them and suggested reading Subhanallah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times, and Allahu Akbar 33 times before going to bed. Prophet Muhammad SAW said, their needs will be fulfilled with the permission of Allah Swt. Ali then said, their strength increased so that no longer need slaves with the permission of Allah Swt. f. At the age of 28 years Towards the age of 28 years various life experiences strengthen the character of Fatimah as a person who matures, patient, and wise. She had a quarrel with Ali, because her husband was offered to remarry with Juwayriyah bint Abu Jahl. Ali said he did not accept the offer, so the pair got along well and resolved the problem. At this age, Fatimah also had to face the loss of the Prophet. Fatimah knew because the Prophet no longer kissed her forehead as usual because of the declining conditions. At that time, Fatimah had to bring her ear closer to Prophet Muhammad to hear what was said. The Prophet is said to have said the time of death and Fatimah will follow soon. Fatimah was also promised heaven with Khadijah, Asiyah, and Maryam. Fatimah then watched her father leave and followed half a year later
