The Pious Women

HADHRAT UMME QAIS BINT MIHSAN (RA) - 

She was the sister of Hadhrat Ukkaashah Ibn Mihsan (RA) who was from amongst the companions of the Prophet (SAW) who participated in the battle of Badr. She embraced Islam in the early days of Makkah and migrated to Madinah with her household. She has narrated from the Holy Prophet (SAW) - Hadhrat Ubaydah Ibn Abdullah Ibn Utbah has narrated that Umme Qais sister of Ukkaashah Ibn Mihsan has said,

"I bought my son in the presence of the Holy Prophet (SAW) who did not eat food (i.e. he was still a suckling child). The Holy Prophet (SAW) sat him in his lap and he urinated upon the Holy Prophet's (SAW) clothes. The Holy Prophet (SAW) asked for water and sprinkled it upon his clothes, and did not (thoroughly) wash it."

Hadhrat Durrah Bint Mu'aadh (RA) narrates from Umme Qais (RA) that she once questioned the Holy Prophet(SAW), "When we shall die, shall we go to see each other?" The Holy Prophet (SAW) replied, "Bodies will be in form of birds hanging onto Jannah until the day of judgement, when every soul will enter its body."

Ubaidullah Ibn Abdullah also narrates that Umme Qais Bint Mihsan (RA) was from those first migrating women that took an oath of allegiance upon the hands of Holy Prophet (SAW). She was the sister of Ukkaashah and she brought in the service of Holy Prophet (SAW) a son of hers in whose neck she had tied a piece of thread due to him suffering pain. The Holy Prophet (SAW) said,
"Why do you remedy your children through this mean. Make compulsory upon
yourselves the use of aloeswood, because there are remedies in it; from amongst
them the remedy of pleurisy (a form of pneumonia) also."

KNOWLEDGE - A DIVINE LIGHT

Knowledge is a deep ocean without an ocean bed - the deeper a person dives the more mysteries of knowledge will open up for him.
By diving in the heavenly ocean he will be gifted with pearls and corals, the fruits of the ocean of knowledge.
Knowledge is a divine light which shades it's radiance on the path of life, guiding its followers through every phase of life. Knowledge is divine - it differentiates between good and evil.
So O Muslims! - Take up this quest - the quest for the search of knowledge.
Grasp it while you are healthy and fine.
Gain it with zeal and crave.
Gain it from the cradle to the grave...
