Assalamu alaikum, Rakhmatullahi wa Rakatuhi, brothers and sisters. Welcome back to the first shorts

0:10.4

Today we are with a companion by the name of Subei'a, Bint Al-Harif al-Aslamiyah, Radeel Allahu ta'ala anha. Now

0:18.0

I know that a lot of these names can get jumbled up and I've said multiple times that I hope people start to name their children and

0:26.0

After some of these lesser known companions of the Prophet Salaam. But I do want to say from now in

0:32.0

Sh. Allah ta'ala that a couple of episodes from now will be talking about another Bint Al-Harif that is not the sister of Subei'a, but she is a

0:41.5

Woman of Allah who has one or two prominent incidents about her that give us something important about our faith.

0:49.0

Subei'a, Radeel Allahu ta'ala anha is considered one of the scholars of the companions. Okay, so she's considered one of the Fukkahah, the

0:57.1

Juris of the companions. And as we've said, not all of the companions were considered amongst the scholars of their generation, right?

1:04.7

So you've had categories of people, some that were narrators, some that were considered amongst those that were

1:10.7

Capable to give Fatwa in certain areas. Subei'a, Radeel Allahu ta'ala anha is referred to as one of the scholars of the companions.

1:18.0

He says that the Fukkahah of Medina An-Kufa, the Juris, the scholars of Medina An-Kufa studied with her, narrated from her, including most prominently Abdullab Nuh Umar,

1:33.0

Radeel Allahu ta'ala anha. So she is a woman who would go on to become a scholar of this Dean.

1:39.0

And we don't know much about her early history except that she is one of the first people to embrace Islam alongside her

1:58.0

are amongst the first couples to embrace Islam. And they are amongst those who would make Hijra to Abyssinia and to Medina.

2:06.0

So they're from the people of the two Hijras. And amongst those that would be very beloved to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaaikum for their early sacrifices.

2:13.0

Now, her story is interesting in that, you know, we learn most about her in the subject of their idda.

2:22.0

And that is because what is most prominent about her husband is his death.

2:27.0

So Sa'id ibn Khawla, Radeel Allahu ta'ala anha, he was according to some biographers, a Persian man from Yemen,

2:35.0

who was a Halif and al-Ala of the tribe of Amr ibn al-Ai, considered a freed slave,
