8.12. AN INHERENT NATURE AND A WISE TREATMENT
Such situations that took place among the Prophet’s wives were something natural and had it not been for them, the Muslim women would not learn from the Prophet’s life with his wives. So we can say that the Prophet’s life is a living example for all Muslims to learn from.
Nevertheless, despite all the jealousy that existed among the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him), every one of them knew her duties towards her other sisters. They lived in a loving peaceful atmosphere observing the guidance of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and never disobeying his orders. Never had they harbored any bad feelings against one another and here we find relating a situation that proves this. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was, once, angry with Safiyyah and so Safiyyah went to A’ishah and said to her, “Could you make the Prophet (peace be upon him) forgive me and I would give up my day for you?” A’ishah said, “Yes.
Aishah then took her yellow veil and perfumed it and then sat beside the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said, “O A’ishah, keep away from me, it is not your day”. said, “It is Allah’s Grace and He bestows it upon whomever He wants,” and then she told him the whole matter and he forgave Safiyyah.
This situation shows the greatness of Ummahat al-Mu ‘minin for here is Aishah trying to make the Prophet (peace be upon him) forgive Safiyyah despite her being jealous of her and here is Safiyyah giving up her day for seeking the Prophet’s content.
