3. THE IDLE MARRIAGE
A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) started her marital life in a modest house built beside the Prophetic mosque. She was and still is a live example for the believing men and women to learn from her how to start their life simply and easily without affectation or complexity. Abu Salamah reported, “I asked A’ishah, the wife of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him), How much was the dowry you received from Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)? She said, ‘It was twelve ounces and one nash.’ She said, ‘Do you know what is an-Nash?’ I said, ‘No.’ She said, “lt is a half of an ounce, and it amounts to five hundred dirhams, and that was the dowry given by Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) to his wives.”
Thus, a Muslim woman should consider the example of A’ishah and follow it. She should not be a burden for her husband since, as A’ishah narrated that the Messenger of Allah stated, “The most blessed woman is the easiest in her expenditure.
Her Life with the Prophet (peace be upon him)
A’ishah started her life with the Prophet (peace be upon him) while she was still young. Taking her tender age into consideration, the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to fondle her and provide her with everything she liked. By the course of time, A’ishah grew up and acquired an acute sense of awareness. She was an ideal wife and set a good example for the Muslim women. She used to console the Prophet (peace be upon him) and relieve his grievances and sufferings. Actually, She was keen on looking after his affairs, memorizing much of his sayings, and performing her duties towards her husband perfectly. It is right to describe A’ishah’s life with the Prophet (peace be upon him) as a happy quiet marital life.
