9.8. BACK TO UMM HABIBAH
Once again Umm Habibah said, “When I took my dowry I called Abrahah who brought me the glad tidings. I said to her, ‘I had given you before my jewels when I had had no money. But now (after I received my dowry) I offered you fifty mithqals.” Abrahah refused to take any money. Rather she returned the jewels she took earlier and said, “The king has ordered me not to take any from you, I am his private maid. Also, I submitted my self to Allah and adopted the religion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The king, moreover, has ordered his wives to bring you all perfume they possess. The next day, Abrahah brought Umm Habibah some waras, aloes-wood, and ambergris.
Abrahah said to me, “Would you please do me a favor?” I asked, “What is it?” She said, “Relay my greetings to the Messenger (peace be upon him) (That is to say to the Messenger (peace be upon him) on her behalf. “May the Peace of Allah be upon you”) and tell him that I embraced his religion.” She reminded me now and then saying, “Do not forget my issue please.” When I met the Prophet (peace be upon him), I remembered Abrahat s request and told him about the whole matter, there he smiled and said, “May the Peace and Mercy and Blessings of Allah be upon her too. “
