As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Prophets - 15th Shawwal 1431 (24th September 2010)
Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
Abraham ('Alaihis-Salam) did not tell a lie except on three occasions.
Twice for the Sake of Allah when he said, "I am sick," and he said, "(I
have not done this but) the big idol has done it."
The (third was) that while Abraham ('Alaihis-Salam) and Sarah (his wife)
were going (on a journey) they passed by (the territory of) a tyrant.
Someone said to the tyrant, "This man (i.e. Abraham) is accompanied by a
very charming lady." So, the tyrant sent for Abraham ('Alaihis-Salam) and
asked him about Sarah saying, "Who is this lady?" Abraham ('Alaihis-Salam)
said, "She is my sister." Abraham ('Alaihis-Salam) went to Sarah and said,
"O Sarah! There are no believers on the surface of the earth except you and
I. This man asked me about you and I have told him that you are my sister,
so don't contradict my statement."
The tyrant then called Sarah and when she went to him, he tried to take
hold of her with his hand, but (his hand got stiff and) he was confounded.
He asked Sarah. "Pray to Allah for me, and I shall not harm you." So Sarah
asked Allah to cure him and he got cured. He tried to take hold of her for
the second time, but (his hand got as stiff as or stiffer than before and)
was more confounded. He again requested Sarah, "Pray to Allah for me, and I
will not harm you." Sarah asked Allah again and he became alright.
He then called one of his guards (who had brought her) and said, "You have
not brought me a human being but have brought me a devil." The tyrant then
gave Hajar as a girl-servant to Sarah. Sarah came back (to Abraham) while
he was praying. Abraham ('Alaihis-Salam), gesturing with his hand, asked,
"What has happened?" She replied, "Allah has spoiled the evil plot of the
infidel (or immoral person) and gave me Hajar for service." (Abu Huraira
then addressed his listeners saying, "That (Hajar) was your mother, O Bani
Ma-is-Sama (i.e. the Arabs, the descendants of Ishmael, Hajar's son)."
