Hazrat Juwairiyah — Page 26
HADRAT juwairiyAH 26 of Allah sa. ” When she found out that Allah the Almighty likes it when His servants fast, she started fasting a lot. One Friday, the Holy Prophet sa came to her house and found out that she was fasting. He asked, “Juwairiyah, did you fast yesterday as well?” She replied, “No. ” He asked, “Will you fast tomorrow then?” She replied, “No. ” Upon that the Holy Prophet sa said, “Then you should break the fast. ” 15 The Holy Prophet sa did not like fasting only on Fridays. 16 The wives of the Holy Prophet sa used to listen to his teachings very carefully and then obey them strictly. They observed his actions, and then advised others while citing him as an example. This way the sayings and actions of the Holy Prophet sa have been preserved in a way that can be claimed as one hundred percent accurate. Even the relatives of his wives were involved in these observations. Because of it, we find so many A ha d i th that explain the teachings of Islam very clearly. For example, we will present here a H ad i th narrated by Hadrat ‘Amr bin Ha rith ra , the brother of Hadrat Juwairiyah ra.
