Prophet
Muhammad married Ummul Mu'minin Saudah binti Zum'ah in month Shawwal in the
10th year in prophethood. Saudah including those who have long embraced Islam
and moved to Abbisinia / Ethiopia in the second wave. Initially she was the
wife of Sakran bin Amr who had also converted to Islam and migrated together to
Abbisinia, but Sakran died in that country. So after Saudah returned to Mecca
and his iddah period was over, Prophet Muhammad immediately married her. Thus,
Saudah was the first woman married to Rasulullah after the death of Khadijah.
Saudah
including women who are noble and intelligent minds. Tall and big stature. With
the freshness of her jokes, she becomes a wife who pleases Prophet Muhammad, as
in the story narrated by Ibrahim An-Nakha'i that Saudah said to Prophet
Muhammad, "O Messenger of Allah, last night I prayed behind you, when
bowing your back touched my nose hard , then I hold my nose out of fear that blood
will come out, "then laughed Prophet Muhammad. Ibrahim said, "The
usual Saudah made Prophet Muhammad laugh with jokes".
Among
the virtues of Saudah is obedience and loyalty to Rasulullah. When the Hajj
Wada', Rasulullah said to his wives, "This is the time of pilgrimage for
you, then after this you should hold back in your homes". So after
Rasulullah's death, Saudah was always at her house and did not leave Hajj until
she died. (Sunan Abu Dawud 2: 140)
Saudah
died at the end of the Umar Caliphate in Medina in the year 54 Hijri. Before
she died, she left her house to Aisha.
Rasulullah
married Aisha (Ayesha) when she was only six years old through a sacred bond
that confirmed the title of the Ummul Mukminin of Aisha. This marriage took
place in the month Shawwal of the 11th year in Prophethood. However, they built
a household in Madinah in the 1st year of Shawwal, when Aisha was nine years
old. Aisha said, "Prophet Muhammad married me after the death of Khadijah,
while I was six years old, and I was met with him when I was nine years old.
The women came to me even though I was busy playing swings and my hair was
long. Then they decorate me and bring me to the Prophet SAW ".
Rasulullah's marriage with Aisha also strengthened the friendship with Abu
Bakr.
One
time Amr bin Ash asked Prophet Muhammad, "O Messenger of Allah, who are
the people you love the most?" He replied, "Aisha." "Among
men?" Amr asked. He replied, "Her father." (Narrated by Bukhari
and Muslim).
Aisha
bint Abu Bakr was born four years after Muhammad was appointed as a Prophet.
Her mother was named Ummu Ruman bint Amir bin Uwaimir bin Abdi Syams bin
Kinanah who died when the Rasulullah was still alive, in the 6th year of the
Hijri. Their household lasted 8 years and 5 months, until Rasulullah died in 11
Hijri. While at that time Aisha was only 18 years old.
Aisha
is a beautiful white woman. In addition, she is also known as an intelligent
woman whom Allah SWT has prepared to be a companion to Rasulullah in carrying
out a mission of preaching which will be an eye-cooling and solace for
Rasulullah. One day the Angel Gabriel (Jibril) showed (to the Prophet) a
picture of Aisha on a piece of green silk cloth while saying, "She is your
future wife, in the world and in the hereafter". (Narrated by At-Tirmidzi)
In
addition to being a faithful companion who always gives motivation to her
beloved husband in the struggle to preach Islamic teachings and face the enemy,
Aisha also becomes a claimant of knowledge that is always studying in the
nubuwwah madrasa that gets knowledge directly from the source. She was noted to
be among those who narrated many hadith and had excellence in various fields of
science, including fiqh, health, and Arabic poetry. At least 1,210 hadiths
which she narrated have been agreed upon by Imam Bukhari and Muslim and 174
hadiths which were only narrated by Imam Bukhari and 54 hadiths which were only
narrated by Imam Muslim.
Aisha
died in Medina at night on the 17th of Ramadan 57 Hijriah, during the reign of
Muawiyah, at the age of 65 years, after her inheritance to be prayed by Abu
Hurairah and buried at Baqi's funeral that same night.
