Rumaysa Bint Milhaan (Umme Sulaym) رضي الله عنها

Even before Islam was introduced to Madinah, Rumaysa was known for her excellent character, the power of her intellect and her independent attitude of mind. She was known by various names including Rumaysa and Ghumaysa, but these were possibly nicknames. One historian says that her real name was Sahlah but later she was popularly known as Umm Sulaym. Umm Sulaym was first married to Malik ibn an-Nadr and her son by this marriage was the famous Anas ibn Malik, one of the great companions of the Prophet. Umm Sulaym was one of the first women of Yathrib to accept Islam. She was influenced by the refined, dedicated and persuasive Musab ibn Umayr who was sent out as the first missionary or ambassador of Islam by the noble Prophet. This was after the first pledge of Aqabah. Twelve men of Madinah had gone to Aqabah on the outskirts of Makkah to pledge loyalty to the Prophet.

Exemplary Traits Of Aaisha رصي الله عنها

Allah Ta'ala  has blessed Hadhrat Aaisha رضي الله عنها with many praiseworthy and exemplary traits. Despite her life of difficulty and hardship she never once complained and remained content, always obeying Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم and endeavouring to please him. She would even keep in mind the close relatives of Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم. Her devotion to Ibadah was such that she never missed performing her Tahajjud, Chasht as well as other nafl Ibadah. She would fast on the most scorching days. She had the habit to perform Hajj every year (after the demise of Rasoolullah صلى الله عليه وسلم). She was ever fearful of Allah Ta’ala and was always concerned over the Aakhirah.  At times her concern for the Aakhirah would cause her to tear uncontrollably. She was extremely soft hearted. Her generosity and kind heartedness was such that she gave a hundred thousand dirhams as Sadqah in one day and would not keep a single dirham for herself.  She would always come to the assist
