How many days Sayyidah Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ decorated with a rainbow of smiles, especially for the reason of his misfortune if not the presence of his beloved son. A beautiful child unsightly, brilliant intellect and noble character has given coolness in his heart. Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ The mother's love.
And Sayyidah Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ P. F. was introduced to his father. Of course only by way of menziarahi his cemetery in Medina (Yathrib his former name), as well as acquainted with the relatives there. Incidentally, the mother of Abdul Mutthalib ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ came from Medina, thus the trip will be a place of friendship.
The very noble intention is not easy to realize, because the distance of Mecca to Medina is very far. Not to mention that they will face the weight of the desert sea that must be reached, which lurks with it the heat of the burning desert, the threat of wild animals, or even the whims of thieves or criminals and others. And during the face of all these challenges, Aminah will take with her son who is about 6 years old.
Will the mother abandon her intentions?
Apparently not!
In order to consider the security factor, Sayyidah Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ went by joining the trade caravan that departed from Mecca to Sham, which passed through Medina. Along with the mother and child was a servant named Barakah or Umm Aiman . They rode on two camels and began a heartwarming journey. Reading Aminah's determination through the heavy journey seemed to be a sign of the deepest premonition of a mother for her child.
By Allah's protection ⁇ Hittlets.Defr . Sayyidah Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ and his son arrived in Medina safely, and received a welcome of joy from relatives in Bani Adiy bin Najjar. They prepared the best place to stay for the mother and child in the house of An-Nabighah.
Families in Medina did not allow Sayyidah Aminah Qighth ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ and his son was only briefly there. The mother and son were asked to stay for about three months with the best service and banquets from the relatives of the mother of Abdul Muttalib .
As explained by M. H. Al-Hamid Al-Husaini in the book Building Civilization History of the Prophet. Since Before He was sent to be a Prophet (2000:209) explained, when Muhammad reached the age of 6 years He was invited by his mother, Aminah bint Wahb ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ , to visit his relatives in Medina, the Bani Adiy bin Najjar. According to Umm Aiman ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ helped Sayyidah Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ on that long journey. The three of them were driving two camels. Arriving in Medina they stopped at the house of An-Nabighah, and stayed there for about three months.
A few months in Medina gave a fond memory in the depths of the heart of the little Prophet Muhammad.
Because He ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ He had the opportunity to hang out with the kids there and have a great childhood experience. It was there that the son of Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ithrush was engrossed in playing in an exciting pool of water, which gave him swimming prowess.
Sayyidah Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ Pigsaw playing with his uncle's children. The little guy can recognize the surrounding nature, such as chasing the beautiful bird feathers and charming chirping. This experience continued to be remembered until He ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ adult and migrated to Medina.
M. H. Al-Hamid Al-Husaini (2000: 209-210) revealed, "One day when the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ Saw the settlement of Bani Adiy bin Najjar in Medina, He remembered his childhood, then he said to some friends, 'In this settlement I used to play with Anisah, a jariyah (maid) of the Anshar people. At that time I was with my uncle's children, chasing after the birds that fell in that place.'
"When he saw a house there, there he ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ) when he saw a house, he said, 'In that house I lived with my mother and near that house was the tomb of my father, Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib, and in the waterhole belonging to the Bani Adiy bin An-Najjar that I was able to swim well.'"
The most heartwarming experience of course was when Sayyidah Aminah Qixty ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ led his son on a pilgrimage to the tomb of Abdullah . Never knowing the voice of his father, Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ The devil must strengthen the heart just enough to look at his navel. However, on the sorrow that is still felt, Sayyidah Aminah can breathe a sigh of relief.
Because the trust had been fulfilled, the beloved son was raised well, and could also be taken on pilgrimage to the father's tomb. The relief was so soothing to the chest of Sayyidah Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ , as though apart from the heavy weight that was squeezing his shoulders.
Through the heavy journey also Sayyidah Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ has provided a very valuable living capital for his son. Who would have thought that in the future Madinah became the center of Islamic da'wah which was glorified by the son of Aminah. Even during his childhood, Barakah or Umm Aiman had understood these signs.
Muhammad Ali Qutb in the book The Great Woman Around the Prophet ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ The Barakah speaks specifically about this. He told me, “One day, two Medina Jews came to me and said, ‘Show Ahmad to us so we can see him.’ Then, the two men looked at Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ with deep gazes.
...*****...
After feeling enough, Sayyidah Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ also invited his son back to Mecca. They return to the heavy journey through the desert barren.
Along the way, Sayyidah Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ by teaching a few things as a good mother lovingly.
On the way, Sayyidah Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ fell ill. He then decided to stop first in a village located between Mecca and Yathrib, named Al-Abwa.
Riyadh Hashim Hadi in his book Sirah Nabawiyah The History of Imam Al-Bukhari (2020: 158-159) explains, Abwa is a village. The distance to Juhfah is 23 miles from Medina. There is evidence, he was named Abwa because the village had been exposed to outbreaks (many diseases). Abwa is a small village located between Mecca and Medina. It was there that the Prophet's mother, Aminah ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ was buried after dying of a fever.
The story of the Prophet's sorrow. Before he died, Sayyidah Aminah:
بارك الله فيك من غلام
يابن الذي من حومة الحمام
نجا بعون المالك العلام
فودي غداة الضرب بالسهام
بمائة من إبل سوام
You are a child blessed by God
O son whose father survived by a number of camels
Who survived because of the help of the Lord
For ransom of a hundred camels
Finally, Sayyidah Aminah did not make it back to her hometown, because she returned to the birthday of Allah ⁇ Hit ⁇ HittleythamFitts . Then complete the noble task carried by the great woman as the mother of the future Prophet of God's beloved.
Just now Prophet Muhammad ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ made a pilgrimage to my father's tomb, and at an early age he let go of his mother forever.
You can imagine how deep the sadness that struck the Prophet. At such a small age, and far away from his hometown, but He was ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ P.
Muhammad Husain Haikal in the book The History of Muhammad's Life (2007:53) describes the Prophet Muhammad's guilt, he increasingly felt lost. He was also destined to be an orphan. It felt as if life grew quieter, sadder.
And history cannot ignore the noble role of Umm Aiman ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ from Medina to Mecca. The slave woman is also referred to by the Prophet as 'Mother'.
