Sayyidah Umm-e-Alqama رضى الله عنها

Madina Munawwarah kay aik ghareeb gharanay mein aik boodhi aurat rehti thi, Jis kay sar kay baal siyah aur sufed milay julay thay, Us ko Umm-e-Alqama رضى الله عنه kay nam say pukara jata tha. Woh Deen-e-Islam qabool karnay ki s’aadat hasil kar chuki thi. Woh Allah ki shukar-guzaar thi keh Us nay usay Deen-e-Islam ki hidayat say sarfaraz kiya. Woh Islam ko Allah T’aala ki bhot badi naimat samajhti thi, Jis kay zariaye say Allah T’aala nay Apnay Fazal-o-Karam say us ko Jahannam ki aag say bacha liya tha. Lekin wahan aik muamla aisa bhi tha jis nay Umm-e-Alqama رضى الله عنه ki zindagi ko gadla kar kay rakh diya tha, Jis ki wajah say woh har waqat Ranj-o-Alam aur Huzan-o-Malal mein mubtala rehtein. Woh muamla yeh tha keh us ka beta Alqama us ka faranabardar na tha. Woh apni biwi ka ita’at guzaar aur apni maan ka na’farmnan tha, Halan’keh Islam nay waldain ki farmanabardari ka hukum diya hai aur na’farman aulad ko bhot bura bhala kaha hai.

Alqama nay apni walida ki na’farmani kartay huaye apnay buray anjam par ghor kiya tha aur na hi woh apnay buray anjam ka muntazir tha. Us ko duniya ki ranginiyon nay aakhirat say ghafil kar diya tha aur us nay us khatoon kay haq ko faramosh kar diya tha jis nay us ki parwarish ki. Alqama ko yeh bat sujhaai na di keh moat badi umar say ibtida nahin karti aur na hi choti umar ko mu’akkhar karti hai.

Kitnay hi aisay bachay hain jo apni kam-umari mein zindagi say hath dho baithay aur kitnay hi badi umar k log hain jo duniya mein chaltay phirtay hain. Huwa yeh keh Alqama bimar ho gaya aur Bistar-e-Alaalat par daraz ho gaya. Us kay sathi us kay pas timardari kay liye aanay lagay. Us ka maraz aahista aahista badhata gaya aur us ki haalat yeh ho gai keh woh chand lamhon ka mehman dikhai denay laga. Timardari karnay walay doston mein say aik us kay qareeb ho kar kehnay laga: Alqama! “أشهد ان لااله الا الله و ان محمد رسول الله” kaho. Alqama nay kai bar yeh kalmaat ada karnay ki koshish ki lekin apni zuban say ada na kar saka. Woh dosat apnay sathi kay baray mein ghabra gaya aur dodta hua Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم ki khidmat mein hazir huwa. Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم us waqat apnay Sahaba Karaam رضى الله عنهم mein tashreef farma thay.

Us nay hanpatay huaye kaha: Aye Allah kay Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم ! Alqama mar raha hai, Woh zindagi kay aakhiri lamhaat guzaar raha hai, Mein nay us say kaha: Kalma Tayyiba padh lo, Lekin woh na padh saka. Nabi Kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم nay us say poocha: Kya woh namaz padhta tha? Us nay kaha: Haan Allah kay Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم! Nabi Kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم aur Aap kay Sahaba رضى الله عنهم uthay aur Alqama kay ghar tashreef lay gaye. Jab Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay usay dekha to farmaya: “لااله الا الله” Us nay kaha: Aye Allah kay Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم! Mein yeh kehnay ki istita’at nahin rakhta. Nabi Kareem صلى الله عليه وسلم nay poocha: Kiun? …. To Ahal-e-Khana mein say kisi nay bataya keh yeh apni biwi ki ita’at karta tha aur apni maan ka na’farman tha. Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay poocha: Is ki walida zinda hai? Unhon nay bataya: Ji han! Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم nay farmaya: “Un ko bulao”. Un ko bulaya gaya to Alqama ki walida chadi kay saharay aa gai. Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay us say poocha: Kya yeh tera beta hai? Us nay kaha: Ji han! Yeh meray beta hai. Aap صلى الله عليه وسلم nay farmaya: Agar aag ka alaao bhadkaya jaaye aur aap say yeh kaha jaye keh agar tum is ki sifarash karti ho to ham is ko chod detay hain aur agar tum sifarash nahin karo gi to ham is ko aag mein jala kar bhasam kar dein gay to kya tum is ki sifarash karo gi? Us nay kaha: Han Aye Allah kay Rasool صلى الله عليه وسلم! Mein is ki sifarash karoon gi. Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay farmaya: Keh tum Allah aur mujhay gawah maan kar kaho keh mein Alqama say razi hoon.

Woh apnay betay kay qareeb aai aur apna hath us kay sar par rakha aur yeh kaha: “Aye Allah! Mein Tujhay aur Teray Rasool-e-Maqbool صلى الله عليه وسلم ko gawah bana kar kehti hoon keh mein apnay betay Alqama say razi hoon.

Is kay baad phir Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay Alqama say kaha keh ab “اشهد ان لااله الا الله وحده لا شريك له و أشهد ان محمدا عبده ورسوله” kaho, To us nay badi aasani aur rawani kay sath Kalma-e-Shahadat padh liya. Usay yeh kalma padhatay huaye koi diqqat ya rukawat mehsoos nahi hui.

Alqama apni maan ki na’farmani ki wajah say martay waqat Kalma-e-Shahadat na keh saka, Jab us ki maan nay apni razamandi ka aelan kiya to phir woh Kalma-e-Shahadat keh saka, Is moqa par Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم nay farmaya:

“الحمد لله الذى أنقذه من النار”

(Shuab-ul-Imaan (7892) Mujam Kabeer Tabrani, کما فى مجمع الزوائد: 8/148. Ahmad Bin Manee کما فى اتحاف المھرة: 5039, Musnad-e-Ahmad (4/382) مختصرا۔ واسناده ضعيف Sanad mein Faaid Abu Warqa rawi matrook hai. TANBEEH: Lekin kisi riwayat mein Sahabi aur us ki walida ka nam nahin mil saka. والله اعلم.)

“Allah ka shuksr hai keh Us nay isay Jahannam ki aag say bacha liya.”

Is kay bad Alqama wafat pa gaya. Allah T’aala us par Apni rahmat ki barkha barsaaye aur us ki walida par Apni rahmat ki barkha barsaaye. Aameen Ya Rabbul-Aalameen!
