>So she said to her father; "Say Ameen three times.."

>

One of the Ulema from Riyadh narrated to us saying:

We went to one of the doors of the hospitals and we found a man with his daughter and she was in her illness, and her age was 40 years old and had not married. Every man who came for her, her father rejected him.

He (the shaykh) said: he was from the greediest people, a person of the Dunya however his Dunya did not benefit him. He had many offices, real-estate and cars and clinics, however he was known between the people that if his daughter were to be married, he cannot marry her except with hundreds of thousands, so all of the young men who came to her rejected marrying her, because those who came for her were poor youth. And most of the conditions of the people did not allow them to pay the high mahr. So every righteous man who came he was asked about his employment and his cars and his salary and if he informed him that he did not have that then he was left, until she reached 40 years of age. Then she suffered an acute illness and was admitted to the hospital and when the time for her death came, and it is a time for meeting the One, the Only One who Judges between the parties, and there is no Judge Except Him, and the One who does Justice between the Oppressed and the Oppressor, then when the death came to meet her, she said:

O Father, come close!

So he came closer to her.

She said: Say Aameen.

So he said: Aameen.

So she said: Say Aameen.

So he said: Aameen.

-By Allah, this was narrated to us by a Shaykh from the Mashayikh who witnessed this-

So she said: Say Aameen three times,

Then she said: May Allah prohibit for you Jannah as you have prohibited for me the delicacy of marriage

40 years she stayed in the house of her father, why wait?

"..I came to complain to you about my wife, I am the most lowly and disliked of things to her.”

Reference: Tahdheeb al Kamaal by Al Hafidh al Mizzee

Al Hafidh al Mizzi states in Tahdeeb al Kamaal: 11/194:

Yahya ibn Yayha an Naysaboori said:

I was with Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah when a man approached him and said:

“O Abu Muhammad, I came to complain to you about my wife, I am the most lowly and disliked of things to her.”

Sufyan remained silent for a while then said: “It may be that you were only interested in her to increase yourself in honor.”

The man said: “Yes, O Abu Muhammad.”

Sufyan said: “Whoever seeks honor [by marrying a woman] will be tested with lowliness, and whoever seeks wealth [by marrying a woman] will be tested with poverty, but whoever looks for righteousness [in a woman], then Allah would combine both honor and wealth with righteousness for him in her.”
 

He then told him a story, he said: 

“We were four brothers; Muhammad, ‘Imran, Ibraheem and me. Muhammad was the oldest, ‘Imran was the youngest and I was in between.

When Muhammad wanted to get married, he was interested in lineage, so he married a woman of better lineage than him, so Allah tested him with lowliness.

‘Imran was interested in wealth, so he married a woman who was wealthier than him, so Allah tested him with poverty. They took his wealth and didn’t give him anything.

So I pondered over their affair. Ma’mar ibn Rashid traveled to us so I spoke to him about the affair and told him of their story. He reminded me of the Ahadeeth that ‘A-isha and Yahya ibn Ja’dah narrated.

As for Ja’dah’s Hadeeth; the Prophet – صلى الله عليه وسلم – said:

“A woman is married for four reasons: righteousness, lineage, wealth and beauty. Marry the one with righteousness and you will be successful.”

‘A-isha’s Hadeeth is as follows; the Prophet – صلى الله عليه وسلم – said:

“The woman with the greatest blessing is the one with the least Mahr [dowry]”

So I chose righteousness and a small dowry, following the Sunnah of the Messenger – صلى الله عليه وسلم – so Allah combined honor, wealth and righteousness for me [in my wife].”

في تهذيب الكمال 11/194 للحافظ الم
قال يحيى بن يحيى النيسابوري: كنت عند سفيان بن عيينة إذ جاءه رجل فقال: يا أبا محمد، أشكو إليك من فلانة – يعني امرأته – ، أنا أذل الأشياء عندها وأحقرها
فأطرق سفيان مليا، ثم رفع رأسه فقال: لعلك رغبت إليها لتزداد بذلك عزا
فقال: نعم يا أبا محمد
فقال: من ذهب إلى العز ابتلي بالذل، ومن ذهب إلى المال ابتلي بالفقر، ومن ذهب إلى الدين يجمع الله له العز والمال مع الدين. ثم أنشأ يحدثه فقال
كنا إخوة أربعة: محمد، وعمران، وإبراهيم، وأنا، فمحمد أكبرنا وعمران أصغرنا، وكنت أوسطهم، فلما أراد محمد أن يتزوج رغب في الحسب فتزوج من هي أكبر منه حسبا، فابتلاه الله بالذل؛ وعمران رغب في المال فتزوج من هي أكبر مالا منه فابتلاه الله بالفقر، أخذوا ما في يديه ولم يعطوه شيئا!، فنقبت في أمرهما، فقدم علينا معمر بن راشد فشاورته، وقصصت عليه قصة أخوي، فذكّرني حديث يحيى بن جعدة وحديث عائشة، فأما حديث يحيى بن جعدة
قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

تنكح المرأة على أربع: دينها، وحسبها، ومالها، وجمالها، فعليك بذات الدين تربت يداك

وحديث عائشة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال

أعظم النساء بركة أيسرهن مؤنة

فاخترت لنفسي الدين وتخفيف المهر اقتداء بسنة رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – فجمع الله لي العز والمال مع الدين)اهـ

‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab said; “Seek richness through marriage!“

Marriage, The Door To Wealth!

“And marry those among you who are single (male and female) and (also marry) the pious of your (male) slaves and maid-servant (female slaves). If they be poor, Allaah will enrich them out of His Bounty. And Allaah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knowing.” [Surah An-Noor, 32]

Through this aayah, the companions would encourage others to get maried.

Abu Bakr As-Sadeeq is reported to have said, “Obey Allaah in what He comanded you to do by getting married; He will then fulfil His promise to you to make you rich.” He then recited the (above) verse.

‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab said. “Seek richness through marriage!“

Likewise, ‘Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood said, “Find richness by getting married.“

‘Abdullaah Ibn ‘Abbaas said, “Allah has commanded (the Muslims) to get married, and He has encouraged and enticed them for it. So He has commanded to marry off their free-men and slaves (i.e., all those under their protection), and He has then promised them richness as a result.“

It has been narated that ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab once remarked. “I have never seen any stranger than a man who does not seek richness through marriage, even though Allaah has promised, as a result of it (i.e., marriage) what He has promised: “…if they are poor, Allaah will enrich them out of His Bounty.““

So, O Servant of Alaah, what is there now that prevents you from marriage? Is not the promise of Allaah sufficient for you? And do you not know that the Prophet (saw) said: ”Three people have a right upon Allaah that they should be helped: (a) the one who desires to get married, seeking chastity, (b) the slave that desires to be freed (by paying his master a pre-agreed amount of money), (c) and the fighter in the way of Allaah.” [Tirmidhi 1/311, who declared it hasan saheeh, Al-Haakim 2/160 who declared it saheeh and Adh-Dhahaabi agreed with him, and others. It was also declared hasan by Shaykh Al-Albaani in Ghaayat Al-Maraam 210]

Concerning the aayah, ‘Alaamah As-Sa’di says in his tafseer that “it is obligatory on the close relative, and the one in charge of the orphan – all those whom he is obliged to support – to ensure that those who need to get married, are married.“

Regarding the saying “…If they be poor, Allaah will enrich them out of His Bounty…”, ‘Alaamah As-Sa’di says, “So do not be prevented by what you faulsly assume that, once he gets marrried, he will become poor because of his family. And in the verse is a strong encouragement tp get married, and a promise to the married one that he will become rich after poverty!“
