O Allah, shower Your mercy upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and the family of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), and shower Your blessings and peace upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and the family of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), and shower Your compassion upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and the family of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), as You showered Your mercy, blessings, and compassion upon Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam) and the family of Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam) in all the worlds. Indeed You are praiseworthy and most glorious.
An Ansari Woman's Anxiety about Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)
In the battle of Uhud, the Muslims suffered heavy losses and quite a large number of them were killed. When the news of their heavy casualties reached Madinah Munawwarah, the women came out of their homes eager to know the details of the war.
On seeing the large crowd of people gathered at a certain place, a woman of the Ansar anxiously inquired: “How is Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)?” When told that her father was killed in the battle, she uttered ‘Inna Lillahi Wainna ilaihi raaji’oon’ and impatiently repeated the same question about Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). This time she was told that her husband was no more, her brother was dead and that her son too was slain. With ever-growing anxiety, she repeated the same question about the welfare of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). She was told that he was safe and sound, but she would not rest contented, and insisted on seeing him herself. When at last she had satisfied her eyes with his sight, she said:
كُلُّ مُصِيبَةٍ بَعْدَكَ جَلَلٌ
"O Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), with the blessing of seeing you every affliction is eased and every worry is removed." (Hayatus Sahaabah, Fazaail Aa'maal)
يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَ سَلِّمْ دَائِمًا أَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيبِكَ خَيرِ الخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
