Umm al-Fadhl urged her sons and her freed slave Abu Rafi' to hide their celebrated feeling at this defeat became she was aware that the idolaters such as Abu Lahab, who was filled with hatred towards the Prophet ﷺ, his companions and his message, would harm them.

However, Abu Rafi' could not contained his joy and happiness, expressed his emotions at the Muslim's victory in front of Abu Lahab.

Abu Lahab proceeded to attacked and knocked Abu Rafi' to the ground and knelt on him, continuing to beat him. 

Flabbergasted, Umm al-Fadl grabbed a post and cracked it powerfully across Abu Lahab's head, screaming at him, "You have no right whatsoever to victimize this man, just because of his faith, and just because his master happens to be absent?" 

Being stood up so powerfully, Abu Lahab retreated in disgrace, and deflated, and quietly left the house. Abu Lahab's head was split opened, exposing his skull; When he died a week later, it was said to be of an infection, ulcer, or the plague.]]> 2017-01-14 13:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mrasyiqah/ummalfadhl/wish/147187932 Who is she? mrasyiqah https://padlet.com/mrasyiqah/ummalfadhl/wish/147188042 Umm al-Fadl was one of the earliest Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. She performed many duties and chores for the noble household of the Prophet ﷺ which behind the scenes helped and contributed greatly to the call of Islam.

This was because Umm al-Fadhl was a regular visitor of Khadeejah (may Allah be pleased with her) and hence often also met the Prophet ﷺ. In this way it was more easier for her to acquire knowledge of her new faith from him.

She was known as a woman of her word and a woman who was known to have the ability to keep secrets.

Not only did Umm al-Fadhl (may Allah be pleased with her) is remembered for her great feats but also for the fact that she was the mother of the great Companion, ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbaas, the learned of the Ummah, the interpreter of the Qur’aan and the scholar among the companions.]]> 2017-01-14 13:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mrasyiqah/ummalfadhl/wish/147188042 Contribution #1 mrasyiqah https://padlet.com/mrasyiqah/ummalfadhl/wish/147189055 Umm al-Fadhl, her husband and her sons used to hide their Islam, in obedience of Prophet's ﷺ command and in accordance with a well-thought out plan. They were able to learn the secrets of the idolaters in order to convey them to Prophet ﷺ.

Thus, Umm al-Fadhl became separated from her husband and withstood it with patience, for the sake of Allah s.w.t.

This was because she knew that these needy Muslims were still at war with the enemies of Allah s.w.t and that even though they had been denied the opportunity of confronting the enemy physically, they were fighting a war of perseverance in Makkah against the hostile Quraysh.

There are authentic narrations which clearly indicate her understanding and comprehension of the religion of Allah.

For example, she performed the farewell pilgrimage with the Prophetﷺ  in the company of her husband 'Abbaas and her children. On the blessed day of ‘Arafah, people where debating over a matter which they were unsure of. They were asking one another: “Is the Prophet ﷺ fasting or not?”

Umm al-Fadhl performed an outstanding act to dispel this rumour when she took a vessel of milk and brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Prophet took it from her and drank all of it in full view of the people. The people then realised that he was not fasting and so those of the Companions who were fasting broke their fasts.

There is no doubt that Umm al-Fadhl had indeed previously heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that it isn't permissible for the pilgrim to fast on the day of ‘Arafah. With her intelligence and wisdom she was able to clarify the confusion surrounding this issue without having to speak unnecessarily before the men.
