In this beautiful and heart-softening reminder, Shaykh ʿAlī ibn Zayd al-Madkhalī حفظه الله recounts the remarkable story of Abū Wadāʿah رحمه الله, a student of the great Tābiʿī Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib رحمه الله. After the death of his wife, Abū Wadāʿah returned to the gathering of his teacher with little to his name—possessing only two or three dirhams. Yet when Saʿīd ibn al-Musayyib learned that his student had not remarried, he did not allow poverty to stand as an obstacle. He married his own daughter to him for those few dirhams. That same evening, Saʿīd himself came to his student’s door and brought him his new wife—a woman distinguished by beauty, memorisation of the Book of Allah, knowledge of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and understanding of the rights of marriage. And when her husband later intended to return to her father’s circle to seek knowledge, she uttered words that beautifully reveal the kind of household in which she had been raised: “Sit down, for I will give you the knowledge of Saʿīd.” A remarkable story of simplicity in marriage, hastening towards goodness, seeking righteousness rather than wealth, and the tremendous blessing of a spouse raised upon the Qurʾān, the Sunnah and knowledge. #ahlussunnah #dhikr #islamiclecture #islamiclectures #islamicreminder #manhaj #salafi
