PIOUS WOMEN

'Asmâ' bint Abî Bakr ra d iyallâhu ‘anhâ

She is the sister-in-law of Rasûlullâh s allallâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam and the sister of ‘Â'ishah ra d iyallâhu ‘anhâ . When Rasûlullâh s allallâhu ‘alayhi wa sallam was migrating to Madînah, he had a bag of food. However, he did not have anything to tie this bag with. She immediately tore a piece of cloth from her girdle which was used to tie the bag and the remainder of the cloth was used as her girdle.

Lesson : This type of love is found in a pious person who is prepared to tear something that she needs and give it away. O women! This is what love for the Dîn demands. That is, in order to safeguard the Dîn , the person does not worry about losing anything.
