Muhammad sa The Perfect Man 687 Hadrat ‘ A ’ishah ra relates; " H u du r sa was at home when we heard noise and voices of children from outside. He went out and saw a black woman was dancing and the children were standing around her. The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa told me to come and see. I put my chin on his shoulder and watched the dance. After a while H u du r sa would enquire if I had seen enough. I replied that I would like to see more. In my heart I was testing as to how long the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa was prepared to bear with my wishes. In the meantime Hadrat ‘Umar ra arrived and the children ran away in fear. The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa said, "It seems all the Satans among the mankind and jins run away for fear of ‘Umar. " 39 Hadrat ‘ A ’ishah ra relates; "Whenever I was angry, the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa used to put his hand on my shoulder and prayed, َ ّٰ ا ُ ﻟﻠ َّ ﻬ ِﻢ ْ ا ِ ﻏ ْ ﻔ ََ ﺮ َ هل ْ ﺎذ َ ﻧ َ ﺒ َ ﻬ َ ﺎو ْ ا ِ ذ ْ ﻫ َﺐ ْ ﻏ َ ﻴ َﻆ ْ ﻗ ِ ﻠ َ ﺒ َ ﻬ َ ﺎ و ِ ا ْ َ ﺬ ِ ﻫ َ ﺎﻣ ْﻦ ِ اﻟ َِ ﻔ نت meaning, "O All a h, forgive ‘ A ’ishah ra 's sins, remove, anger from her heart and save her from trials. " In another tradition it is related that whenever Hadrat ‘ A ’ishah ra was angry, H u du r sa would hold her nose and say, "O ‘Uvaish (smallish ‘ A ’ishah ra ) pray in these words, َ ّٰ ا ُ ﻟﻠ َّ ﻬ َّﻢ ِْ رَب َِ اﻟuَّىب ِِّ حمَُﻤَﺪ ٍّ اِﻏْﻔِﺮْىل ِْ ذَﻧْىب ِْ وَاَذْﻫِﺐ ْ ﻏَﻴْﻆ َ ﻗَﻠْىب وَاَﺟِﺮْىن ِْ ﻣِﻦ ْ ﻣُﻀِﻼَّت ِ اﻟْﻔِنت meaning: "O All a h, Lord of the Prophet Muhammad sa , forgive my sins, remove anger from my heart and save me from the trials which can lead astray.
