Hadith 88

ww and said to him-saww, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you-asws, O Rasool-Allah-saww! You-saww ordered me with the marriage of Juweybir, and by Allah-azwj, he was not from the ones we would have married, but I obeyed you-saww. It was Obligatory upon me to marry her to him’. The Prophet-saww said to him: ‘So what it is that you are disliking from him? ’ He said, ‘We prepared a house for him, and chattels, and I entered my daughter into the house, and I entered chattels along with her, but he neither spoke to her nor looked at her, nor did he approach her, but he stood by a corner of the room and did not cease to recite the Quran performing Ruku’u and Sajdah until he heard the call (Azaan), and he went out. The he did similar to that during the second night, and similar to that during the third, and did not approach her, and did not speak to her until I came over to you-saww, and we do not see him as wanting the women. Therefore, look into our matter’. Ziyad left, and Rasool-Allah-saww sent for Juweybir, so he-saww said to him: ‘Do you not go near the women? ’ Juweyir said to him-saww, ‘Or am I not a stallion? Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww! I have intense craving for the women’. Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘I-saww have been informed opposite to what you are describing yourself with. It has been mentioned to me-saww that they prepared a house for you, and a bed, and chattels, and entered upon you a beautiful young girl, perfumed, and you were downcast and did not look at her, and did not speak to her, and did not approach her. So what is your wisdom then? ’
Juweybir said to him-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I entered a spacious house, and I saw a bed, and chattels, and a beautiful young girl, perfumed, and I remembered my state which I used to be upon, and my poverty, and my destitution, and my place, and my clothes along with the poor ones and the needy, so I loved it that I should give preference to Allah-azwj for that and thank Him-azwj upon what He-azwj had Given me, and wanted to be closer to Him-azwj with the reality of the gratefulness. Therefore, I went to a side of the house, and did not cease in my Salat, reciting the Quran bowing and prostrating, thanking Allah-azwj until I heard the call (Azaan), so I went out. When it was the morning, I viewed that I should be Fasting for that day. I did that for three days and nights, and I viewed that compared to Allah-azwj had Given me, is little, but I will be pleasing her, and pleasing them tonight, Allah-azwj Willing’. Rasool-Allah-saww sent for Ziyad, so he came over to him-saww. He-saww let him know of what Juweybir had said, and they gladdened themselves’. He-asws said: ‘And Juweybir was loyal with what he had said. Then Rasool-Allah-saww went out regarding a military expedition of his-saww, and with him-saww was Juweybir. He was martyred, may Allah-azwj the Exalted have Mercy upon him. So there was no woman more in demand than her among the Helpers, after Juweybir’’. [90]
