Umm Ayman

All you see is what the Prophet ﷺ would have taught you and advised you to do.

The next person to accept Islam, number four, Umm Ayman.

Umm Ayman.

We haven't talked about her story.

We're going to talk about her more as we go through the seerah.

But Umm Ayman was the nursemaid of the Prophet ﷺ, his foster mother.

And again, also a former slave.

Someone who was freed from slavery.

I got the guarantee, right? No, they just kept, in fact, they became better.

Bilal ibn Rabah al-Habashi رضي الله عنه who was from Abyssinia.

A mother-like figure to the Prophet ﷺ from the time that he was born, Umm Ayman from Habesha.

Our history is rich from the very beginning.

In the final sermon, the Prophet ﷺ also told us that there is no virtue of an Arab over a non-Arab and vice versa.

And this is the idea, looking at the connection of the Quran, the attachment of the Quran the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam had.

You know, after the demise of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Umar radiallahu anhuma, they went to visit Ummu Ayman, the lady who was the caretaker, the woman who nursed the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and was with him throughout his life.

And when they went to visit him after the demise of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, they went to visit her, they found her crying.

And they said to her that, "Ummu Ayman, O mother, don't cry because where the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is now, it's better for him than him being here on Earth." And she said, "I'm not crying out of separation.

I understand that where the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is now is better for him than where he was here with us on the Earth.

He's with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and the highest of companions." They said, "Why are you crying then?" She says, "I'm crying because we've been disconnected from wahi and revelation.
