9.5. A BEAUTIFUL VISION
This affliction that Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) experienced did not last for long as a beatific occurrence was awaiting for her once her Iddah (the prescribed period of waiting during which a woman may not remarry after being divorced or widowed) was completed.
Umm Habibah saw in her sleep that somebody was calling her Umm al-Mu ‘minim She woke up and she interpreted the vision that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would marry her. Her interpretation of the vision proved to be true. By the time her Slddah ended she found Abrahah, a slave of the Negus (an-Najashi), knocking her door and telling her that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) wrote to the Negus asking for Umm Habibah’s hand in marriage. Umm Habibah could not believe herself and was overwhelmed by happiness and joy. She soon took off all the jewels she was wearing and gave them to Abrahah as reward for the good tidings she had brought her. She then chose Khalid ibn Sax id ibn a12 As to be her guardian in marriage. She felt that she was the most fortunate woman on earth; how could she not feel so while she would be married to the greatest man on earth?
