Hadhrat Aishah (Radhiyalltlho anha) and Fear of Allah:

Who does not know about the love that the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) had·

 for his dear wife Hadhrat Aishah (Radhiyallaho anha)?

 It is  said that when he was asked whom he loved most, he replied, "Aishah".

 She was so well-versed in Islamic jurisprudence that many eminent Sahabah would go to her for solving their problems in this field.

 Jibrail used to greet her with 'Assalamo alaikum'.

 The Prophet once told her that she would be his wife in the Paradise.

When she was 'slandered by the Munafiqin.

 Allah exonerated her from the slander and confirmed her innocence by revealing verses in the Qur'an.

According to Hadhrat Ibn Sa'd (Radhiyallaho anho) Hadhrat Aishah (Radhiyallaho anha) once enumerated as many as ten special virtues' that Allah had givan her over the other wives of the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam).

Her spending in the path of Allah has already been narrated in the .previous stories.

 In spite of all these "privileges and virtues, she feared Allah so much that she was often
.heard saying; .

,"I wish I was a tree, so that I could be always busy in Allah's tasbih and be absolved of reckoning on the Day of Judgment"

"I wish I had been a stone or a clod of earth".

"I wish I had been a leaf of tree or a blade of grass".

"I wish I had not been born at all".

The stories about the awe and fear of Allah, which Sahabah had in their hearts, have already been given in Chapter II. This was the guiding factor of their lives.
