In truth, I have put my trust in Allah, (who is) my Lord and your Lord. There is no crawling creature that Allah does not take by the forelock. Indeed, my Lord is on a Straight Path. (Surah Hud: 56) Kerana sesungguhnya aku telah berserah diri kepada Allah, Tuhanku dan Tuhan kamu! Tiadalah sesuatupun dari makhluk-makhluk yang bergerak di muka bumi melainkan Allah jualah yang menguasainya. Sesungguhnya Tuhanku tetap di atas jalan yang lurus.

'A'ishah: He Bestows it upon whom He wills

The Prophet's wives all knew of the Prophet's love for 'A'ishah and they talked about this love with pure intentions and pure souls. Because of this love, they used to always turn to 'A'ishah if the Prophet (pbuh) was angry with any one of them so that she could ask the Prophet (pbuh) to absolve.. 




Safiyya Bint Hoyaii, one of the Prophet's wives, went to 'A'ishah one day because the Prophet was angry with her for something. She said to 'A'ishah: Oh 'A'ishah! Would you ask the Prophet to forgive me and I will give you my day with him?? 'A'ishah agreed. She got up and dressed in a nice dress that was adorned with saffron, a plant that has the smell of perfume. She sprinkled it with water so that the smell would create an aroma. She then approached the Prophet (pbuh) and sat beside him. He said: 'A'ishah move away from me for today is not your day.? She told him about the deal between her and Safiyya. She shrugged and said: He [Allah] bestows it upon whom He wills.? (Surat Al Jumu?ah, 4). The Prophet (pbuh) laughed and forgave Safiyya.
