THE ERA OF THE FOUR RIGHTLY GUIDED CALIPHS AND MUAWIYA

Though they suffered, life continued. Though the Messenger of God was absent, Aisha, who had spent the most time with him and who had carefully observed him in a variety of situations, remained.

In her presence was a two-sided communication — people came and asked Aisha questions, or Aisha interfered when something wrong happened. Conveying the message continued, with Aisha as the teacher. She shared the knowledge that she had acquired from the Messenger of God, and was reassured that future generations would have healthy information about the religion.

One day, there was a land dispute between one of the Companions, Abu Salam and others who could not agree to whom the land belonged. Abu Salam shared his troubles with Aisha, probably expecting her support. But after she had listened to him, Aisha told Abu Salam to keep away from that land matter since she had heard from the Messenger of God that whoever behaves unjustly even for one unit of land will be tormented after death.243

Another day, someone came to her and said that a number of people recited the whole Qur’an in one night in one or two sessions, and wanted to know whether that was proper. She said:

“They recite, but in reality, they do not understand! The Messenger of God and I used to get up and perform prayer nearly the whole night. He recited suras al-Baqara, al-Imran and An-Nisa. When he came to a verse that had a threatening expression in it, he immediately sought refuge in God from that punishment. When he recited a verse that included good news, he turned to God and asked for that reward.”244

As before, people continued to bring their newborn children to the house of felicity to ask for prayers and blessings, and Aisha prayed and asked for God’s blessings. One such day, while she was putting the baby back on his pillow, she noticed an amulet used for fortune telling on the pillow. She looked at it carefully and put it aside, and asked:

“What is this?”

They said:

“It will protect the baby from an evil spirit.”

Aisha became angry. It was a deviation, and such a deviation so early after the death of God’s Messenger meant an open invitation to many mistakes in the future. She threw away the amulet and said:

“There is no doubt that the Messenger of God banned fortune-telling, and was very angry with those who did this too.”245

After the conquest of new lands, people wondered about the permissibility of beverages that they had recently encountered, and so they asked Aisha. She approached each issue carefully, and reminded them of the statements of God’s Messenger about intoxicants, and advised them to avoid drinking beverages of an unknown nature.246

During the season of Hajj, when all roads led to Mecca, women gathered around Aisha to ask any questions on their minds. It happened so frequently, that she would walk with a group of women who gathered around her. She considered their talk as a time to convey the message and advise them.
