\"\"<\/a>Every single one of us women was offered to take Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) with her, but the moment she discovered that he was an orphan, she would refuse, as she would think to herself, \u201cWhat remuneration can one expect for raising and caring for a child who does not have a father?\u201d However, nobody knew that this child was not a Yateem (orphan), but was a Durre-Yateem (a rare pearl). Who knew that the keys to the treasures of Chosroes and Caesar would be placed in the hands of this child? Who knew that although the child had no apparent guardian and mentor who would pay remuneration, Allah Ta\u2018ala, in whose hands lies the incalculable treasures of the earth and skies, was the guardian of this child? He would remunerate those who nurtured and raised this child far more than they had ever imagined possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

All the women obtained at least one infant to take home. Only Hazrat Halimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) was left empty-handed. As the hour of departure drew closer, Hazrat Halimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) found it difficult to return home empty-handed. All of a sudden, from the unseen, a strong urge to take this orphan entered her heart. She went to her husband and said:<\/p>\n

\u0648\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u0670\u0647 \u0644\u0623\u0630\u0647\u0628\u0646 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0630\u0644\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u064a\u062a\u064a\u0645 \u0641\u0644\u0622\u062e\u0630\u0646\u0647<\/p>\n

\u201cBy Allah! I will definitely go to this orphan and take him.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Her husband responded:<\/p>\n

\u0644\u0627 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0643 \u0639\u0633\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u0670\u0647 \u0623\u0646 \u064a\u062c\u0639\u0644 \u0644\u0646\u0627 \u0641\u064a\u0647 \u0628\u0631\u0643\u0629<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no harm in this. Perhaps Allah Ta\u2018ala may bless us with barakah because of him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Barakah refers to goodness provided by Allah Ta\u2018ala. In other words, barakah refers to divine goodness that comes directly from Allah Ta\u2018ala without any apparent cause.<\/p>\n

Allah Ta\u2018ala says:<\/p>\n

\u0627\u0654\u0646\u0627 \u0639\u0646\u062f \u0638\u0646 \u0639\u0628\u062f\u064a \u0628\u064a<\/p>\n

\u201cI will deal with my servant in the manner he expects Me to deal with him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In hope of acquiring this barakah, Hazrat Halimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) went to fetch Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam). According to her expectation, Allah Ta\u2018ala opened the doors of barakah for Hazrat Halimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) and her family. The other women of Banu Sa\u2019d had pinned their hopes on the creation whilst Hazrat Halimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) had pinned her hopes on Allah Ta\u2018ala alone. Hazrat Halimah (radhiyallahu \u2018anha) recounts, \u201cAs soon as I placed this blessed child in my lap, my dried-out bosom began to fill with milk. I produced so much of milk that both he and his milk-brother were able to drink to their fill. When we went to milk our camel, we saw its udders full of milk. My husband and I both satiated ourselves with its milk. We passed the night in splendid comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next morning, her husband commented:<\/p>\n

\u062a\u0639\u0644\u0645\u064a \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u0670\u0647 \u064a\u0627 \u062d\u0644\u064a\u0645\u0629 \u0644\u0642\u062f \u0627\u062e\u0630\u062a \u0646\u0633\u0645\u0629 \u0645\u0628\u0627\u0631\u0643\u0629<\/p>\n

\u201cO Halimah! By Allah! Understand that you have taken an exceptionally blessed child.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

To this she replied:<\/p>\n

\u0648\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u0670\u0647 \u0625\u0646\u064a \u0644\u0623\u0631\u062c\u0648 \u0630\u0644\u0643<\/p>\n

\u201cBy Allah! I say with conviction that this is what I hope for from Allah Ta\u2018ala.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
