Visit -http://aydnajimudeen.blogspot.com/- Islamic Stories - , Story of a pious woman at the time of Ferawoon

On the Prophet Muhammad's (sul Allahu alayhi wassalaam) Night Journey
to Jerusalem:
The Prophet (sul Allahu alayhi wassalaam) smelled a very nice odor.He
asked Jibril about thispleasant scent and Jibril informed him this
good smell was coming from the grave of the woman whose duty used to
be to comb Pharaoh's daughter's hair.
This woman was a good,pious believer. One day, as she was combing
Pharaoh's daughter's hair, the comb fell from her hand. At this she
said, "Bismillah." Pharaoh's daughter asked her, "Do you have a god
other than my father?" The woman said, "Yes. My Lord and the Lord of
your father isAllah." Pharaoh's daughter told her father what had
happened. Pharaoh demanded this woman blaspheme and leave Islam, but
she refused. At that, Pharaohthreatened to kill her children.
He brought a great pot of water and built a great fire under it.
Whenthe water boiled, Pharaoh brought her children and started to drop
them into that pot one after the other. Throughout all this, the woman
remained steadfast to Islam, even when Pharaoh reached her youngest
child--a little boy still breast feeding--but she felt pityfor him. At
that, Allah enabled this child to speak. He said to his mother, "O
Mother, be patient. The torture of the Hereafter is far moresevere
than the torture of this life, and do not be reluctant, because you
are right."
At this the woman requested Pharaoh collect her bones and the bones of
her children and bury them in the same grave. Pharaoh promised her
that--then dropped her into that boiling water. She died as a martyr.
The good odor the Prophet (sul Allahu alayhi wassalaam) smelled coming
from hergrave is an indication of her high status.
[May Allah make us like these people.]
