In the slave on sale
market women slaves were being purchased. But, the people preferred good
looking and healthy women. In a corner a rejected and discarded looking girl
was also standing. On her, nobody paid attention. She was very emaciated
teenaged girl with lean and thin body. Skeleton of bones were thin and the flesh
was hanging like the cloth on a rope. Her hair was like dry bunch of straw
similar to the nest of house sparrow. Aamir (R.A.) took pity on this women and
purchased her at very small sum. He told her,- come women, follow me, we will
go to market for essential purchase for Ramadan. As she was, already throughout
all the year remained on fasting, She
remarked Aamir (R.A) ---------Alhamdulillah I have been observing fast all the
months like Ramadan. She fasted in the
day and stood in the salaat for all the nights.
When Eid came nearer Aamir (R.A) said the women now,
you have to come with me tomorrow for Eid purchase. Women remarked, my master it seems you are too much absorbed in the worldly affairs then
remembering God. She went towards her room in the house and started her
salaat. when she recited sixteenth verse of surah Ibrahim which tells us.
“Hell is before him and he is made to drink boiling
fetid water on the dooms day (for disbeliever or week believer)” she repeated
it again and again, a number of times
and ultimately gave out a big cry and then breathed her last. What an explicit
example of fear of Almighty, taken to nerves by her true devotion towards God.
