The Tears Of Wedding
Chapter 44 Is my love as deep as Sayyidah Zainab's love for her husband?
Ba’da Isya Umi Ayu came delivered by Kyai Damar, he did not stop by the house. Having to attend the invitation rutinan in the village next door. Mas Guntur happened to be invited to the formation of a committee for an event at a neighboring house. I've bought salak fruit, oranges also fry tofu contents. One of Umi Ayu's favorite foods. It looks like Umi Ayu brought a package, I brought it into what was brought by Umi Ayu. I don't know what it is. But something I can make sure it's got sugar. Umi Ayu spoke to me not using the language, she used Indonesian.
“So like this mbak, I am confused tomorrow it wants me not to bother the congregation.it happened yesterday has so many activities. Worry pilgrims are burdened if they have to be re-engaged.” Umi Ayu said.
“So I mean Umi use dues from santri alone Mi?” I asked Umi Ayu, she agreed and grabbed a salak. Umi Ayu looks so carefully clean the skin of the salak.
Umi Ayu asked for a paper and Pena, he also invited me to approximately cook the graduation event which is likely to be present approximately 1500 of all.
“This 1.500 including parents santri Mi?” Ask me, ask me,
“Iya, but later maybe additional poro Kyai, this later we serve chicken ingkung with rice kebuli.” Umi Ayu.
I also sum the money needed, I count almost ten million more.
“Ya take even so 13 million mi...” Say me while handing over the paper that is full of shopping lists and needs for the first graduation event at the Umi Ayu cottage.
Umi Ayu read the note, then she rubbed my arm.
“Masyaallah, this njenengan usually help in ndalem huh Mbak? Surely I if njenengan Abdi ndalemnya Gus Furqon..” Umi Ayu said.
He told me how Gus Furqon was in his childhood. Instantly Umi Ayu mentioned the name of my best friend when in Ndalem Umi Siti.
“Means you know Zhafirah, mbak?” Ask Umi Ayu.
“Upload Umi, kulo know.” Answer me.
I was very happy when Umi Ayu washed her hands and took one tofu fill and then she had a colette with sauce that I prepared near her. After two pieces of tofu, he seemed to enjoy the ginger water that I gave milk.
“Hem, this must be the ginger on fire first yes mbak?” Said him while smiling.
“Wins umi,” Answer me.
I used to burn the red ginger that I would boil to make it taste more spicy. Umi Ayu then said that this afternoon he watched a video of the submissions from the Alumni. There was Zhafirah and her husband was also Ayra Khairunnisa. The author of the novel of the same name as himself.
“It turns out that Ning Ayra when writing the novel received criticism from fans of the novel, because why women believe, both men actually get husbands like Bram. And Ning Ayra's answer about the story of the Prophet's first daughter made fans of the novel precisely standing aplause.” Umi Ayu.
Both of my eyebrows were adrift and my forehead was furrowed. I remember the name of the first daughter of the Prophet.
“Sayyidah Zainab, Mi?” Ask me curious
“Yes. Ning Ayra told such a beautiful story. I even remember when Umi Laila told this story. There is a lot to teach in this story.” Umi Ayu said with sparkling eyes, somehow there is no courage for me to look into the eyes of Umi Ayu.
“Household story Mi?” Ask me again.
“Iya story of Sayyidah Zainab with Abul Ash son of Sayyidah Halah, his sister Sayyidah Khadijah.” Answer Umi Ayu.
I fixated for a moment, Ah I just remembered that Sayyidah Zainab married her cousin.
A love story of the Eldest Princess of the Prophet Sayyidah Zainab with Abul Ash the son of Sayyidah Halah the younger brother of Sayyidah Khodijah the wife of the Prophet. The story where the Prophet shed tears when he saw the necklace of his wife, Sayyidah Khadijah. But I was confused as to what it meant by many lessons. What does this have to do with Bram and Ayra in the novel.
“The story summarizes many things, from adab, responsibility,aqidah, mutual understanding of each other's wives, forms of wife's love for the husband, Ketawadhuan, leader's justice, and right promise to true love…” Umi Ayu said with a voice that had been heard softly, her tears had almost dripped if only she did not reveal her smile towards me.
I digested what Umi Ayu meant, I almost forgot a lot of stories because I did not open the books during my marriage, the only book I have opened is the holy book of the Quran.
“Which story is Umi?” Ask me, Umi Ayu confirmed his sitting position. He woke up from his back.
“Sayyidah Zainab's marriage to Abu Ash, an adab was performed by Zainab's cousin by proposing her eldest daughter to the Prophet, in an age when Muhammad had not yet been made an Apostle. And the Prophet was responsible but did not immediately accept the proposal of Khadijah's nephew, but the Prophet asked first Sayyidah Zainab.” Umi Ayu.
I immediately remembered the story, yes the story I had heard told by Umi Laila in our special study santriwati. Where when the Prophet delivered a proposal from Abu Ash Sayyidah Zainab even blushed the sign he received the proposal.
“They finally got married and had a son named Ali and a girl named Umamah, correct Umi?” Ask me.
“Say the package runs out, did Umi Siti ever tell this story?” Ask Umi Ayu to me.
“Looks like Umi Laila if I'm not mistaken Mi,” Answer me.
I remember a story that had so much meaning, again, meaning the patience of a wife and faith in the Prophet but still the wife of Abu Ash man who did not believe in Raysulullah when Sayyidah Zainab stated that He believed in his Father.
“But I'm as vague as this story, I almost forgot mi...” Say me,
“This story actually began when Prophet Muhammad was appointed as Prophet. Sayyidah Khadijah's husband was traveling. In the past, she could know the news as it is now a sophisticated era, so when she returned home, Sayyidah Zainab told her husband that she had believed in the Prophet Muhammad. There is a problem here about aqidah.” Umi Ayu.
“If not wrong Abu Ash object why Sayyidah Zainab did not inform him first, yes Mi?” Ask me.
I began to remember when it was indeed Sayyidah Khodijah, Ustman bin Affan and Ali bin Abi Tholib had faith in the Prophet Muhammad.
“Here, Sayyidah Zainab is so elegant in showing that the husband and wife must understand each other. You remember Sayyidah Zainab's reply when her husband gave the excuse that he could not betray his people and he also believed that his father-in-law could not lie.”
“If I don't accept your excuses, who else would accept your excuses?. I am your wife. I will try to help you on the right path with all my abilities..” My speech.
My heart feels tight, how not. I felt what Sayyidah Zainab felt at that time. She must defend her faith but she must also understand her husband. Her husband has not received guidance, Sayyidah Zainab even proved her patience and love for her husband for 20 years. Abul Ash is still in his disbelief. Even as the Prophet was about to emigrate to Medina, Sayyidah Zainab said to the Prophet, ‘O Prophet, do you allow myself to remain with my husband in Makkah?’. A form of wife's love for her husband, she could not leave her husband. She promised to be patient and guide her husband, without hurting his father or his parents.
“And I was in the part of the time of the war of Badr, when Abu Ash fought on the side of the infidels of Quraysh… we must be confused not playing for sure..” Umi Ayu said she was sobbing, ah so soft my teacher's heart. His tears will quickly fall only because the stories that give many lessons people in the present are still given so much ease.
Yes, the most moving time when Abu Ash became a prisoner of war. The news was heard by Sayyidah Zainab. He heard that victory was won by the Muslims. Sayyidah Zainab thanked Allah for his father's victory. When I heard the news that her husband was a prisoner of war, the one that made me shed tears. Her love for her husband, even though the husband has just been at war.
“I even felt moved in the part when Sayyidah Zainab gave a ransom for her husband.” My tears also fell down from the corner of the eye.
Who does not know that the eldest daughter of the Prophet did not have anything valuable to be used as a ransom except for the necklace that was once given by Khodijah the mother. She took off the necklace and left it to Abu Ash's brother to be given to the Prophet as her husband's ransom. The Prophet was even surprised when he saw the ransom war in the form of the necklace of Sayyidah Khodijah. He asked who the ransom was for, and it was for Abu Ash.
“RAsulullah even cried and said ‘This is Khodijah’ necklace...” Umi Ayu. We both bowed, pervading what the child, the father, felt in the situation. But I was more pervasive in what Sayyidah Zainab felt. Can I survive there? I may have whined and pleaded with my father, but Sayyidah Zainab did not do that, she instead let go of the only precious thing she had to redeem her husband, ah my chest was so tight, I was so full, I have nothing compared to the story of his daughters in living life as a wife.
“Rasulullah showed his steadfastness as a leader, the Prophet did not immediately release his son-in-law, whereas if the present times could be with his authority the Apostle did not need the approval of the Companions. Until the Prophet asked if the necklace of Khodijah could be returned to Sayyidah Zainab. The Companions have adab on the leader, they permit. Even in the state of his daughter-in-law who was still infidel, Rasulullah handed the necklace to his daughter, and said ‘Tell Zainab: Do not remove Khodijah's necklace this’.. What a beautiful character of the Prophet this.. “ Said Umi Siti who occasionally rubbed her cheeks, he said,
If in-laws now see difficult children because of their partners, they may have been blasphemed all out let alone want to believe. But not with the noblest man who must be believed that he is the last Prophet, His Majesty Muhammad Shallahu Alaihi Wassalam.
“But Abu Ash was a good soldier for keeping his promise, when the Prophet asked to return Zainab to him because Allah ordered to separate the Muslim woman from the infidel man…” Say me.
When Abu Ash returned to Makkah, Sayyidah Zainab was waiting for him at the door of Makkah, but Abu Ash told Sayyidah Zainab that he was going. But when Sayyidah Zainab asked where he was going, Abu Ash replied that he was not going but Sayyidah Zainab who was going back to his father. He is a true man who keeps his promises.
“Cinta is back in the role of Mi, Sayyidah Zainab even still asks her husband if the husband will accompany her and convert to Islam. But the husband still has not received guidance. Returning out of obedience to Allah that Muslim women should not be with infidel men, Sayyidah Zainab went with her son and daughter to Medina.” Saying me.
“Yes, and a boldness was again shown by Abu ash while going to trade to Sham with the caravan, while passing through Medina, their entourage was stopped by friends. But Abu Ash asks permission to meet Zainab, love still expects to unite. Sayyidah Zainab asked if her husband had come as a Muslim? But it turns out that it is still not and one sentence Sayyidah Zainab in it means for the good of men. He still asks ‘will you enter islam?’…. It's so beautiful this story.” Umi Ayu.
Sayyidah Zainab even told the companions that she protected Abu Ash as her cousin and father of her children. Even the Prophet was still implementing something in the form of deliberation in which he still asked the Companions when the apostle asked if he would let Abu Ash return to his people and return his property, but the Prophet is okay if the Companions object. But the Prophet kept reminding his daughter that Sayyidah Zainab may protect the father from his children but Abu Ash should not approach him because it is not lawful for his daughter. A form of affection without breaking the Sharia. And Sayyidah Zainab obeyed the orders of his father who was also the Prophet.
“And the love of a wife was still there when Sayyidah Zainab asked if Abu Ah would convert to Islam and stay there with her or the farewell was hard for her husband,”. Now I remember this story. A story that has many meanings.
“Love and hope and patience Sayyidah zainab fruit sweet when her husband back to Makkah, she said Asyhadu An Laa Ilaaha Illallohu Wa-Asyhadu Anna Muhammadar Rosulululloh…. And he returned to Madina to meet the Prophet and asked permission to return to Sayyidah Zainab. Really they have both deep love.” Umi Ayu said.
“But one year after that incident, Sayyidah Zainab died... “.
“And Abul Ash said, ‘O Prophet, now I am unable to survive without being accompanied by Zainab’.”Umi Ayu Imbuh.
One year later, Abul Ash died following Sayyidah Zainab.
“And Mbah Maimoen often mentions. 'those ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ Tuber “Take Umi Ayu again.
“Ya Allah...” Say it with tears.
