A Gift2Shias from the Mother of the Believers رضي الله عنها وأرضاها

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، أَنَّهَا ذُكِرَتْ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ فَسَبَّهَا . فَقِيلَ لَهُ : أَلَيْسَتْ أُمَّكَ ؟ قَالَ : مَا هِيَ بِأُمٍّ ، فَبَلَغَهَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ : صَدَقَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرِينَ فَلَسْتُ لَهُمْ بِأُمٍّ . .

Hishaam bin Urwah narrated on the authority of his father Urwah bin az-Zubayr, that Aaishah (radiallah anha) was mentioned in the presence of a man and he reviled her, upon which it was said to him:

“Is she then not your mother?”

He said: “She is not my mother!!”

When news of this incident reached Aishah radhiallahu ‘anha, she said:

“He has spoken the truth! Indeed, I’m the mother of believers and not the mother of disbelievers”.
