Saidina Faatimah RA, Weeps at the Pale Appearance of Rasulullah SAW
Caused by the Exertion In the Duty Allah SWT Entrusted to Him. Abu
Tha'laba Khushani RA narrates that Rasulullah SAW once returned from a battle and entered the Masjid to perform two Rakaahs
of salaah. Whenever he returned from a journey, Rasulullah SAW always
liked to proceed first to the Masjid to perform two Rakaahs of salah
and then go to the house of Saidina Faatima RA, his daughter before
proceeding to the homes of his wives.
Consequently, he went to the
home of Saidina Faatimah RA upon returning from a particular journey
before going to see his wives. Welcoming him at the door, Saidina
Faatimah RA started kissing Rasulullaah SAW his face and his eyes.
She then began weeping. When Rasulullah SAW asked her what it was
that made her weep, she replied, "0 Rasulullah!! It is because I
see your face so pale and your clothing so tattered (because of the
strenuousness of the journey) ."
And to this, Rasulullaah SAW
said, "Do not weep, 0 Faatimah. Allah has sent your father
with a Deen by means of which He will enter honour or disgrace into
every baked and unbaked home and every skin tent on the surface of
the earth (those who accept Islam will have the honour while the
others will have the disgrace). It (the Deen) shall reach wherever th
e night reaches (everywhere).
