Do you make us (women) equal to dogs and donkeys? While I used to lie in my bed, the Prophet

my guilt.

Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away. for I disliked to face him.”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) I had seen my parents following Islam since I attained the age of puberty.
Not a day passed but the Prophet visited us, both in the mornings and evenings. My father Abii Bakr
thought of building a mosque in the courtyard of his house and he did so. He used to pray and recite
the Qur’an in it. The pagan women and their children used to stand by him and look at him with
surprise. Abu Bakr was a Softhearted person and could not help weeping while reciting the Quran.

Narrated ‘Aisha:
Barira came to seek my help regarding her manumission. I told herself you like I would pay your
price to your masters but your Al-Wala(1) would be for me.” Her masters said, “If you like, you can
pay what remains (of the price of her manumission), (Sufyan the sub-narrator once said), or if you
like you can manumit her, but her (inheritance) Al-Wala would be for us. “When Allah’s Apostle
came, I spoke to him about it. He said, “Buy her and manumit her. No doubt Al-Wala(1) is for the
manumitted.” Then Allah’s Apostle stood on the pulpit (or Allah’s Apostle ascended the pulpit as Sufy –
an once said), and said, “What about some people who impose conditions which are not present in
Allah’s Book (Laws)? Whoever imposes conditions which are not in Allah’s Book (Laws), his condi –
tions will be invalid even if he imposed them a hundred times.”
