The Majesty of the Moon Lights up the World...

Sunday, October 18, 2009

"Once the Prophet (salAllahu 'alaihi wa salam) was sitting in a room with Aisha and fixing his shoes. It was very warm, and Aisha looked to his blessed forehead and noticed that there were beads of sweat on it. She became overwhelmed by the majesty of that sight. She was staring at him long enough for him to notice. 
                                               He said, "What's the matter?"
She replied, "If Abu Bukair Al Huthali, the poet, saw you, he would know that his poem was written for you."
The Prophet (salAllahu 'alaihi wa salam) asked, "What did he say?"
She replied, "Abu Bukair said that if you looked to the majesty of the moon, it twinkles and lights up the world for everybody to see."
So the Prophet (salAllahu 'alaihi wa salam) got up, walked to Aisha, kissed her between the eyes, and said, "Wallahi ya 'Aishah, you are like that to me and more."

[This was narrated in Dala'el Al-Nubuwa for Imam Abu Nu'aim with isnad including Imam Bukhari and Imam Ibn Khuzaina.]
