Deep Concern for the Deeni Upbringing of the Daughter and Son-In-Law

After the marriage of Hazrat Sayyidah Faatimah (Radhiyallahu anha), Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was still deeply concerned about her Deeni upbringing.

Hazrat Ali (Radhiyallahu anhu) narrates: “Once, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) came to our house during the night and woke us up for Tahajjud. He then went back to his home and performed (Tahajjud) Salaat for a long while.

Not hearing the sounds of us getting up (and making wudhu, etc.) he returned a second time and woke me up saying, ‘Get up and perform Salaah!’ Rubbing my eyes, I sat up and said, ‘By Allah! We will perform the amount of Salaah that is ordained for us to perform. Our souls are in the control of Allah. When He wants to wake us up, He wakes us up.”

Hearing this Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) hit his thigh with his hand (in a gesture of dismay) and repeated my words. He then recited the Aayat:

وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ اَكْثَرَ شَيْء ٍجَدَلًا

‘Man is most argumentative.’”
