Explanation of the author's statement: "And al-Siddiqah, the daughter of al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with her), about whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: "And al-Siddiqah" is conjoined to Khadijah, meaning specifically al-Siddiqah, the daughter of al-Siddiq.
As for her being al-Siddiqah, it is due to the perfection of her belief in the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the perfection of her truthfulness in her dealings with him. She treated him in a manner for which she is to be thanked (may Allah be pleased with her), and she was patient with the harm that occurred in the incident of al-Ifk. What indicates her truthfulness and the truthfulness of her faith in Allah is that. This indicates the perfection of her faith and her truthfulness.
As for her being the daughter of al-Siddiq, it is likewise, for her father (may Allah be pleased with him) is al-Siddiq, the sincere friend of this Ummah. Indeed, he is the sincere friend of all nations, because this Ummah is the best of nations. So his sincere friend is the best of the sincere friends.
He said: "About whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 3281Sahih (Darussalam). Sahih al-Bukhari 3770"
: Which women? Its apparent meaning is generality regarding all women, like the superiority of tharid over all other food.
It was said that he said this after Khadijah died, and that the intended meaning is: The superiority of A'ishah over women, meaning among his wives, is like the superiority of tharid over all other food.
However, the correct view is that it is general, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 3769. This indicates that she is superior to women absolutely.
However, she is not superior to Fatimah in terms of lineage, because Fatimah is undoubtedly more noble than A'ishah in lineage.
As for rank, A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) has great virtues that no one else has attained.
The apparent statement of the author (may Allah have mercy on him) is that these two wives (may Allah be pleased with them) are in the same rank, because he said: "Specifically Khadijah and al-Siddiqah", and he did not say: "Then al-Siddiqah." The scholars differed on this issue: which of the two is superior?
Some scholars said: Khadijah is superior, because she has virtues that A'ishah did not attain.
Some scholars said: Rather, A'ishah is superior, because of this hadithSahih al-Bukhari 3770, and because she has virtues that Khadijah did not attain.
Some scholars of knowledge distinguished and said: Each of them has a virtue that the other did not attain. In the early period of the message, there is no doubt that the virtues attained by Khadijah were not attained by A'ishah, and it is not possible for her to equal her. After the mission and after the death of the Messenger (may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him), A'ishah attained the spreading of knowledge, the spreading of the Sunnah, and the guidance of the Ummah, which Khadijah did not attain. Therefore, it is not correct to prefer one of them over the other with an absolute preference. Rather, we say: This one is superior from one aspect, and this one is superior from another aspect. And we have thus followed the path of justice. We have not neglected the virtue of this one, nor the virtue of that one. When details are considered, the result is good, because some people look at one side and take it, and do not look at the other side. But whoever looks at all sides and distinguishes attains the good. In any case, they are in the same rank as the rest of the wives of the Messenger (may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him) in Paradise, because they are at the level of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Paradise, for they are his wives in the Hereafter.
As for her being al-Siddiqah, it is due to the perfection of her belief in the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the perfection of her truthfulness in her dealings with him. She treated him in a manner for which she is to be thanked (may Allah be pleased with her), and she was patient with the harm that occurred in the incident of al-Ifk. What indicates her truthfulness and the truthfulness of her faith in Allah is that
When her exoneration was revealed, she said: I do not praise anyone except Allah
لما نزلت براءتها. قالت : إني لا أحمد أحدا غير اللهAs for her being the daughter of al-Siddiq, it is likewise, for her father (may Allah be pleased with him) is al-Siddiq, the sincere friend of this Ummah. Indeed, he is the sincere friend of all nations, because this Ummah is the best of nations. So his sincere friend is the best of the sincere friends.
He said: "About whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The superiority of ‘Aishah over other women is like the superiority of Tharid over all other foods.
فضل عائشة على النساء كفضل الثريد على سائر الطعامThe superiority of `Aisha over other women is like the superiority of Tharid
فضل عائشة على النساء كفضل الثريدover women
على النساءIt was said that he said this after Khadijah died, and that the intended meaning is: The superiority of A'ishah over women, meaning among his wives, is like the superiority of tharid over all other food.
However, the correct view is that it is general, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Many men are complete, and among women, so-and-so and so-and-so are complete
كمل من الرجال كثير، وكمل من النساء فلانة وفلانةAnd the superiority of `Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. an Arabic dish) to other meals.
وفضل عائشة على النساء كفضل الثريد على سائر الطعامHowever, she is not superior to Fatimah in terms of lineage, because Fatimah is undoubtedly more noble than A'ishah in lineage.
