Ibn Mubaarak and the Barkat of Halaal Food

Most Muslims must have heard the name of the illustrious Saint, Hadhrat Abdullah Ibn Mubaarak (rahmatullah alayh). His father, Mubaarak, was the slave of the Qaadhi of the City of Ray. The piety of his slave had made an indelible impression o­n the Qaadhi who was a very wealthy and prominent member of the community. Inspite of high-ranking and elite members of the community proposing marriage for his daughter, the Qaadhi married his daughter to his slave, Mubaarak.

The Qaadhi Saheb too was a pious man, hence he made the decision to have his daughter married to his slave. Taqwa was the criterion for his decision. After the bride was delivered to her husband Mubaarak, the now freed slave, he did not consummate the marriage for forty days. Both he and his wife remained in Ibaadat for this period. Meanwhile Mubaarak ensured that he fed his wife with halaal tayyib food for forty days.

Dan yang demikian itu adalah ketika menyebut baginda SAW, menyebut hadith dan sunnahnya, mendengar nama dan sirahnya, bermuamalah dengan ahli keluarganya serta memuliakan Ahlul Bait dan para sahabatnya.

Perjalanan da'awah Rasulullah s.a.w. semasa di Makkah

Munib Azdi r.a. berkata bahawa; Aku pernah melihat Rasulullah s.a.w. pada zaman Jahiliyah bilamana Baginda bersabda: Wahai Manusia!, Katakanlah "La Ilaha illallah", Kamu akan berjaya. Aku melihat orang ramai; di antara mereka ada yang meludahi wajah Baginda, ada yang menabur tanah di atas baginda dan ada pula yang memaki Baginda. (Keadaan begini berterusan) hingga berlalu setengah hari. Kemudian telah datang seorang budak perempuan kecil membawa satu mangkuk air dan dengan air itu Baginda telah membasuh muka dan kedua-dua tangan Baginda dan Baginda telah bersabda: "Wahai anakku!, Jangan khuatirkan bahawa bapamu tiba-tiba akan dibunuh dan jangan takutkan apa-apa kehinaan".Aku telah bertanya: Siapakah budak ini? Orang ramai telah menjawab bahawa ia adalah puteri Baginda. Zainab r.aha. Beliau adalah seorang budak perempuan yang cantik.

Dosa Yang Lebih Hebat Dari Berzina

Pada suatu senja yang lengang, terlihat seorang wanita berjalan terhuyung-huyung. Pakaiannya yang serba hitam menandakan bahawa ia berada dalam dukacita yang mencengkam. Kerudungnya menangkup rapat hampir seluruh wajahnya. Tanpa rias muka atau perhiasan menempel di tubuhnya. Kulit yang bersih, badan yang ramping dan roma mukanya yang ayu, tidak dapat menghapus kesan kepedihan yang tengah meruyak hidupnya. Ia melangkah terseret-seret mendekati kediaman rumah Nabi Musa a.s. Diketuknya pintu perlahan-lahan sambil mengucapkan salam. Maka terdengarlah ucapan dari dalam "Silakan masuk".
