Excerpt From Our Monthly Read: “The Noble Women Scholars of Hadith”


Mu’adhah bint ‘Abdullah Ummu’s-Sahba’ al-‘Adhawiyyah al-Basriyyah al-‘Abidah said:


“I am amazed by the eye which sleeps while it knows the length of the sleep within the darkness of the graves.”

She once told a woman who she suckled until she grew up:

“O my daughter! Be amongst those who meet Allaah the Most High upon cautiousness and hope; for indeed I have seen the hopeful one encompassed with goodness of being close to Him on the day he meets Him and I have seen the one fearful of Him looking forward to Him at the time of the day in which the people will stand for the Lord of the worlds.”

She then wept and she used to say:

“I have accompanied the world for seventy years and I have never seen within it the coolness of the eyes.”
