Sayyidah Ruqaiqa Bint-e-Abi Saifi رضى الله عنها

 

Nabi kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم say qareebi rishta-dari:

 

Nam Ruqaiqa, Walid ka nam Abu Saifi Bin Hashim hai. Abdul Muttalib un ka chacha tha, Sayyiduna Abbas رضى الله عنه aur un kay tamam bhai Sayyidah Ruqaiqa رضى الله عنها kay chacha kay betay thay.

Abdul muttalib apnay yateem potay Sayyiduna Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم say walihana peyar kartay thay. Woh unhein apnay Ka’aba kay saaye mein bichay bistar par bitha diya kartay thay. Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم kay tamam chacha apnay walid kay ahtiram mein un kay bistar par nahin betha kartay thay.

Jab woh yeh irada kartay keh Sayyiduna Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ko bistar say utha dein to un kay walid Abdul Muttalib farmatay: Meray betay ko bistar par betha rehnay do, Yeh mera beta badi shan wala hai.

Jab Makkah Muazzamah mein sakhat qahat pada to Abdul Muttalib apni qoam ko sath lay kar Jabal-e-Abi Qais par chadhay. Un kay sath un ka pota bhi tha. Us nay hath oopar utha kar yeh dua ki:

“Ilahi! Tu zarooraton ko poora karnay wala hai, Tu museebaton ko talnay wala hai, Tu sab ko khilanay wala hai, Tu sab ka zimme-dar hai. Yeh teray banday aur Teri bandiyan Haram kay sehan mein apni qahat-sali ka shikwa kar rahay hain. Is qahat-sali mein in ki bakriyan aur oont halak ho gaye, Ilahi! Ham par khushgawar aur moosala-dhaar barish nazil kar day.”

Thodi hi deer bad nihayat khushgawar moosala-dhaar barish honay lagi, Jis say Makkah aur irad girad ka mahool khushgawar aur pur-bahar ho gaya. Quraish kay boodhay, Abdul Muttalab say kehnay lagay: Abul Bat’ha mubarak ho, Wadi-e-Bat’ha kay bashindon mein teri wajah say zindagi ki ronaqein loat aaien.

 

Ruqaiqa Bint-e-Abi Saifi nay Abdul Muttalib ki tareef kartay huaye yeh ash’aar kahay aur us Khair-o-Barkat ka tazkira kiya jo us ki wajah say logon ko muyassar aai:

 

بشيبة الحمد اسقى الله بلدتنا                                         وقد فقدنا احياء والجلوذ المطر

فجاء بالماء جونى له سبيل                                          سعا فعاشت به الانعام والشجر

منا من الله بالميمون طائره                                          وخير من بشرت يوما به مفر

مبارك الامر يستسقى الغمام به                        ما فى الأنام له عدل ولا حظر

 

(Dalaail-ul-Nubuwwah Lil-Baihaqi (1/399))

 

Jab Abdul muttalib ko mehsoos huwa keh ab us ka is duniya say kooch kar janay ka waqat qareeb aa gaya hai to us nay apnay betay Abu Talib ko bulaya aur usay apnay bhai kay betay Sayyiduna Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ki nigehdashat karnay ki wasiyat ki. (Seerat Ibn-e-Hishaam (Safha: 85), Mujam Kabeer Tabrani  (24/259). Dalaail-ul-Nubuwwah Lil-Baihaqi (1/404).) To Abu Talib aur us ki biwi Fatima Bint-e-Asad nay Sayyiduna Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم ki nigehdashat par apni aulad say zayada tawajjah di.

 

Qabool-e-Islam aur Nabi kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم kay sath aqeedat:

 

Jab Sayyiduna Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم Mansab-e-Risalat par faaiz huaye to Fatima Bint-e-Asad aur un kay tamam beton nay Islam qabool kar liya aur un kay sath hi Ruqaiqa Bint-e-Abi Saifi nay bhi Islam qabool karnay ki s’aadat hasil kar li. Us nay apnay betay makharma Bin Nofal par bhot dabao dala, Magar us nay Islam qabool nahin kiya aur apni zaat ko Khair-o-Bhalai say door kar liya.

Jab Quraish ikatthay huaye aur unhon nay pukhta irada kar liya keh tamam qabaail mein say aik aik nojawan ko muntakhib kiya jaaye aur yeh sab yakbargi Sayyidahna Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم par apni talwaron say hamla aawar hon, Taa’keh un ka khoon tamam qabaail par paday. To Sayyidah Ruqaiqa رضى الله عنها ko Quraish ki mansooba-bandi ka pata chal gaya. Woh Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khidmat mein hazir huien aur araz kiya: Aye Allah kay Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم! Guzishta raat Quraish nay ijtimai tor par Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم ko qatal karnay ka mansooba banaya hai. Nabi Kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم nay Sayyiduna Ali Bin Talib رضى الله عنه ko hukum diya keh woh Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم kay bistar par so jaye aur khud apnay sath Sayyiduna Abu Bakar Siddiq رضى الله عنه ko apnay hamrah lay kar Madinah ki taraf hijrat kar gaye.

Sayyidah Ruqaiqa رضى الله عنها ko Nabi Kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم kay dushmanon ki taraf say Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم ki jan ko khatra mehsoos huwa aur unhon nay Nabi Kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم ko sazish say aagah kiya. Yeh Taraz-e-Amal Sayyidah Ruqaiqa kay Sidq-e-Imaan aur Husan-e-Islam ki daleel hai aur is say maloom hota hai keh unhon nay Islam qabool karnay kay bad Islam kay sath wafadari ka saboot diya.

Jab Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم Fatah-e-Makkah kay din Lashkar-e-Islam ki qeyadat kartay huaye Makkah Muazzamah dakhil huaye to Raqaiqa رضى الله عنها ka beta Makharma Bin Nofil, Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khidmat mein hazir huwa aur Islam qabool karnay ka aelan kar diya jis say Sayyidah Ruqaiqa ki aankhein thandi aur dil masroor ho gaya. Kiunkeh us kay betay nay us kay dil ki aarzu poori kar di thi aur us nay Islam qabool karnay ki s’aadat kar li thi.

 

(Musnad-e-Ahmad (4/203) Sunan Kubra Nasaai (7482))

 

Phir donon maan betay nay zindagi bhar Islam kay sath wafadari ki. Allah in donon par Apni rahmat ki barkha barsaaye. Aameen Ya Rabbul-Aalameen!
