✴ NUSAIBAH BINTI KA’AB ✴
"The Shield of Rasulallah ﷺ"
● WOMEN WITH HIS DEATH WELCOME TO ANGELS ●
This story we may have heard often. However, just a reminder of the struggle of this noble woman, hopefully it can restore us to also be able to emulate her, a woman who is 'steel-hearted'.
Nusaibah Binti Ka'ab radhiyallahu anha, his name is recorded in golden ink full of glory.
Even his death invited thousands of angels to greet him.
That day Nusaibah was in the kitchen. Her husband, Said was resting in the bed room. Suddenly there was a roar like rock mountains collapsing. Nusaibah guessed, it must be the enemy army. Indeed, in recent days tensions have peaked in the Mount Uhud area. Hurrying, Nusaibah left what he was doing and entered the room. Her husband who was sleeping softly and softly was startled.
"My dear husband", Nusaibah said, "I heard a screaming voice going to Uhud. Maybe infidels have attacked. "
Said who was still not fully conscious, gasped. He regretted why he didn't hear the voice. In fact, his wife. He immediately got up and wore his war clothes. When he prepared the horse, Nusaibah approached. He handed Said a sword.
"My husband, bring this sword. Don't go home before winning. "
Said looked at his wife's face. After hearing those words, there was never any doubt for him to go to battle. He lifted the horse swiftly, then the sound of the steps of the horse came to the north. Said immediately jumped into the middle of the raging battlefield. In another corner, the Prophet saw him and smiled at him. That sincere smile fueled Said's courage.
At home, Nusaibah sat nervously. His two children, 15-year-old Amar and Saad who were two years younger, watched his mother with anxious look. That was when suddenly a horse rider appeared who seemed very nervous.
"Mother, greetings from the Messenger of Allah," said the horseman, "Mother's husband, Said, just died on the battlefield. He was martyred ... "
Nusaibah bowed briefly,
"Inna lillah ..." he murmured,
"My husband has won the war. Thank you, dear Allah."
After the newscaster left the place, Nusaibah called Amar. He smiled at him in the midst of a muffled cry,"Amar, you see Mother crying? .. This is not sad tears to hear your father has been martyred. I was sad because I had nothing left to give in the morning the Prophet's fighters. Will you see your mother happy?" Amar nods. His heart is pounding.
"Take a horse in a cage and bring a spear. Fight with the Prophet until the unbelievers are erased. "*
Amar's eyes glow. "Thank you mom. This is what I have been waiting for since. I doubt if Mother did not give me the opportunity to defend God's religion. "
The thin body Putera Nusaibah continued to apply his horse following in his father's footsteps. There was not the slightest fear in his face. In front of the Prophet, he introduced himself.
"O Messenger of Allah, I am Amar bin Said. I came to replace my fallen father. "
The Apostle moved to embrace the young man. "You are a true Muslim youth, Amar. God bless you…."
That day the battle passed quickly. Bloodshed lasted until evening. Early in the morning an envoy of Islamic forces departed from the camp on the battlefield, they headed to Nusaibah's house.
Arriving there, the stoic woman was stunned to wait for the news, "What news is there?" He exclaimed trembling as the envoy had not yet opened his voice, "Is my child dead?"
The envoy looked down sadly, "Right ..."
"Inna lillah ...." Nusaibah muttered smallly. He cried.
"You're grieving, aren't you, Amar? .."
Nusaibah shook his head a little. "No, I'm happy. Only I'm sad, who else will I leave? ... Saad is still a child. "
Hearing that, Saad, who was right next to his mother, interrupted, "Mother, don't underestimate me. If you allow, I will show that Saad is the son of a brave father. "
Nusaibah was shocked. He looked at his son. "You're not scared, kid?"
Saad who had jumped on his horse shook his head, sure. An ornamental smile on his face. When Nusaibah waved his hand, Saad disappeared with the army envoy.
In the battle arena, Saad really showed his ability. The 13-year-old young man has thrown down many infidels. Until finally arrived at that time, namely when an arrow stuck in his chest. Saad fell to kiss the earth and called out, "Allahu Akbar! ..."
Again the Prophet sent messengers to Nusaibah's house.
Hearing the news of the death, Nusaibah bruised his neck.
"Hi messenger," he said, "you saw for yourself that I had nothing left. Only this old self remains. For that, let me come with you to the battlefield. "
The messenger frowned.
"But you are a woman, Mother ..."
Nusaibah was offended, "You underestimate me because I'm a woman? .. Do women not want to go to heaven through jihad too? .."
Nusaibah did not wait for an answer from the messenger. He rushed to meet the Prophet by riding an existing horse.
Arriving there, the Prophet heard all Nusaibah's words. After that, the Prophet said with a smile.
"Nusaibah which is glorified by God. It's not the time for women to take up arms. For the time being, just collect the medicines and take care of the injured soldiers. The reward is the same as the one who fought. "
Hearing the Prophet's explanation, Nusaibah immediately carried drugs and went to the center of the fighting forces.
He cared for those who had been seriously injured. At one point, when he was looking down and drinking a wounded young soldier, suddenly his hair was splashed with blood. Nusaibah then looked. It turned out that the head of an Islamic soldier lay dead, killed by the weapons of an infidel.
Angered Nusaibah witnessed this atrocity.
Especially when he saw the Prophet fell from his horse due to his forehead slammed by the arrows of the enemy. Nusaibah could not hold back anymore, watching that.
He rose bravely. He took the sword of the dead soldier.Riding the horse.Then like a lioness, she went berserk.Many enemies are scornfully avoiding it. Dozens of infidel souls fell.
Until at one time there was an infidel who settled from behind, and immediately cut off his left arm. Nusaibah fell, trampled by a horse. War continues. The battlefield was farther away, so Nusaibah's body sat alone.Suddenly Ibn Mas'ud rode his horse, watching for someone to help. That friend, as soon as he saw a body that was struggling with difficulty, he immediately approached him. Sprinkled water on the body's face.
Finally Ibn Masud recognized him, "Said wife, are you? .."
Nusaibah is vaguely paying attention to his helper. Then asked, "What about the Messenger of Allah? .. Congratulations, king? .."
"Your Majesty the Prophet is not lacking in anything ..."
"You are Ibn Mas'ud, aren't you? .. Lend me your horse and weapon ..."
"You are still seriously injured, Nusaibah ..."
"You want to prevent me from defending the Messenger of Allah? .."
Forced by Ibn Masud to hand over his horse and weapon. With difficulty, Nusaibah climbed the horse, then moved him towards the battlefield. Many enemies are overturned. But because his hands were stumped, his neck finally collapsed broken by the enemy's sword.
The mighty woman fell to the sand. His blood soaked the land he loved.
Suddenly the sky turned cloudy, black and gray. Even though the sky was bright and bright. The battle stopped for a moment. *
The Apostle then said to his friends,
"You see the sky is suddenly blackened isn't it? .. It is a shadow of the thousands of thousands of angels. They flock to welcome the arrival of the Nusaibah spirit, the mighty woman. "
