Once Muhammad bin Munkadir Rahmatullah alaihe visited Aishah Radhiallho anho at her place and told her that he was hard pressed for money and needed her help badly.
Aishah Radhiallaho anha
said to him, I am sorry; I do not have
anything with me at present and added even if I Possessed ten thousand (Dirhams
or Dinaars) I would give you the entire amount.
Hearing
this, Muhammad Rahmatullah alaihe went away but, not before long, a man brought
her a gift of ten thousand (Dirhams or Dinaars) from Khalid bin asad
Radhiallaho anho. She said, I have been put to trail for what I just said to
Ibn-ul-munkadir, and immediately sent for him and give him the entire amount as
a gift. Muhammad bin Munkadir
Rahmatullah alaihe spent one thousand Dirhams on marrying a slave-girl, from
whom he had three sons, Muhammad, Abu Bakr and Umar by name. All three were
well – known for their piety in Madinah Munawwarah. Aisha Radhiallaho anha will
have, of course, a due share in the benefits from the devotions of these three
beings, because her generous gift to Ibne Munkadir Rahmat ullah alaihe brought
about the marriage of their parents. (Tanhzeeb-ut-Tahzeeb) There are numerous
stories about the magnanimity of Aishah Radhiallaho anha like her illustrious
father, Abu Bakr Siddique Radhiallaho anho. We have narrated an episode in the
book. The stories of Sahabah, in which it is related how she distributed, among
the poor and the needy, two bags, amounting to one hundred thousand Dirhams, not
keeping back a single Dirham for herself to buy some meat for the Iftaar. There
is another story that, on one occasion, she distributed a hundred and eighty
thousand Dirhams among the poor. Tameem bin urwah Rahmatuallah alaihe narrates,
Once I
Saw Aishah Radhaillaho anha distributing seventy thousand Dirhams among the
poor, while she herself was wearing a patched shirt. Aishah Radhiallaho anha
was an aunt of Tameem s father. (Ithaaf)
