Hazrat Khadeejah (Radhiyallahu Anha)

• She was the first wife of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam).
• She possesses many virtues.
• Once, Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) told her: “Jibraeel (Alaihis Salaam) has come down with Salaam from Allah Ta’ala to you.”
• Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) also said: “Of all the women in the world, four are the best; Maryam, Aasiyah the wife of Fir’oun, Khadeejah and Faatimah.”
• Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) would come and tell her what trouble and torment the kuffaar were inflicting him with. She would console Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in such a manner that all his grief would go away.
• (This, notwithstanding the fact that she was not a Nabi, and Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was. Her consoling was still beneficial. On occasions of grief and anguish consoling is very efficacious and the heart spontaneously accepts the counsel. One is prepared to act accordingly, even though the one offering the advice is of lower rank in Taqwa and Deendaari – Piety and Deeni-consciousness – than the one the advice is proffered to.)
