एक सेब उसकी शादी की ओर ले जाता है. एक सुंदर कहानी!

One of our pious predecessors, Thabit Bin Nu’man, was hungry and tired as he was passing through a garden that bordered a river. He was so hungry that he could hear his stomach growling, and so his eyes became fixed on the fruits he saw on the various trees of the garden. In a fit of desperation, he forgot himself and extended his hand to an apple that was within reach. He ate half of it and then drank water from the river. But then he became overcome with guilt, despite the fact that he had only eaten because of dire need.

He said to himself, “Woe unto me! How can I eat someone else’s fruits without his permission? मैं अपने ऊपर यह बंधन रखता हूं कि मैं इस जगह को तब तक नहीं छोड़ूंगा जब तक मैं इस बगीचे के मालिक को नहीं ढूंढ लेता और उससे यह नहीं कहता कि वह मुझे उसका एक सेब खाने के लिए माफ कर दे।''

एक संक्षिप्त खोज के बाद, उसे मालिक का घर मिल गया. उसने दरवाज़ा खटखटाया और बगीचे का मालिक बाहर आया और उससे पूछा कि वह क्या चाहता है.

थबिट बिन नु'मान ने कहा, “मैंने आपके बगीचे में प्रवेश किया जो नदी की सीमा पर है, और मैंने यह सेब लिया और इसका आधा हिस्सा खा लिया. तब मुझे याद आया कि यह मेरा नहीं है, और इसलिए मैं अब आपसे इसे खाने के लिए क्षमा करने और मेरी गलती के लिए मुझे क्षमा करने के लिए कहता हूं।

आदमी ने कहा, “केवल एक शर्त पर मैं तुम्हें तुम्हारी गलती के लिए माफ कर दूँगा।”

थबिट बिन नु'मान ने पूछा, “और वो शर्त क्या है?"

उसने कहा, "कि तुम मेरी बेटी से शादी करो।"

थबिट बिन नु'मान ने कहा, “I will marry her.“

आदमी ने कहा, “But heed you this; indeed my daughter is blind, she does not see; mute, she does not speak;deaf, she does not hear.“

Thabit Bin Nu’man began to ponder over his situation; a difficult predicament indeed did he find himself in now; वह क्या करे? Not get out of it, thought Thabit, for he realised that to be tested by such a woman, to take care of her, and to serve her, are all better than to eat from the foul matter of the Hellfire as a reward for the apple that he ate. And after all, the days of this world are limited.

And so he accepted the condition to mary the girl, seeking his reward from Allaah, Lord of all that exists. He was nonetheless somewhat anxious in the days prior to the marriage.

He thought, “How can I have sexual relations with a woman who neither speaks nor sees nor hears?"

So miserable did he become that he almost wished for the earth to swallow him up before the appointed date.

Yet despite such apprehensions, he placed his complete trust upon Allaah and he said, “There is neither might nor power except with Allaah. Indeed to Allaah do we belong and indeed to Him shall we al return.“

On the day of the marriage he saw her for the first time. She stood up before him and said, “Peace, mercy and blessings of Allaah be upon you.“

When he saw her grace and beauty, he was reminded of what he would see when he would imagine the fair maidens of paradise (अर्थात।, the gorgeous hoor al-ayn). After a brief pause he said, “What is this? She indeed speaks, hears and sees.” He then told her what her father said earlier.

उसने कहा, “My father has spoken the truth. He said I was mute because I do not speak any forbidden word, and I have never spoken to any man who is not lawful to me (अर्थात।, she has never spoken to any ghair mahrams)! And I am indeed deaf in the sense that I have never sat in a gathering in which there is backbiting, बदनामी, or false and vain speech! And I am indeed blind, in the sense that I have never looked upon a man who is not permissible for me!"

Noble reader, reflect on and learn a lesson from this story!

My brothers in Islaam, see how much he feared Allaah, and how much he had his trust in Allaah, and where this got him!

My sisters in Islaam, see how this woman kept herself chaste, pious, in her hijaab, इतना जादा ताकि, उसे गूंगी समझा जाता था (किसी आदमी से बात नहीं कर रही), deaf (चुगली करने वाले स्थानों से बचना) और अंधा (किसी आदमी को नहीं देख रहा हूँ). अल्लाह अकबर, क्या ये वे गुण नहीं हैं जो धर्मनिष्ठ पुरुष अपनी पत्नियों में देखना पसंद करते हैं? अब से; क्या ये गुण सभी पुरुषों में नहीं होते? (मुस्लिम और गैर मुस्लिम) अपनी पत्नियों में देखना चाहते हैं? क्या ये वे गुण नहीं हैं जो पुरुषों को जन्नत में अपने हूर-अल-ऐन से मिलने की लालसा और लालसा देते हैं??

इस विवाह का फल एक बच्चे का जन्म था जो बड़ा होकर इमाम अबू हनीफा के नाम से जाना गया.
