The Hairdresser of Firawn’s daughter

It was narrated that Ibn Abbaas (Radia Allahu anhu) said: The Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said:


"On the night on which  I was taken on the Night Journey (Isra') , a beautiful fragance come to me . I said: Oh Jibreel, What is this beautiful fragance? He said: This is the fragance of the hairdresser  of Pharaon's daughter and her childrens. I said: What is their history? He said: Whilst she was combing the hair of Pharaon's daughter one day , the iron comb fell from her hand and she said " Bismillaah" ( In the name of Allah) . The daughter of Pharaon said : My father? She said : No , my Lord and the Lord of your father is Allah. She said: ‘I will tell him about that.’ She said: ‘Yes.’ So she told him and he summoned her and said: ‘O So and so, do you have a Lord other than me?’ She said: ‘Yes, my Lord and your Lord is Allaah.’ He ordered that a baqarah (lit. “cow”) made of copper be heated up, then he ordered that she and her children be thrown into it. She said:I have a request  to make of you. He said: What is your request? She said: ‘I would like my bones and my children’s bones to be gathered together in one cloth and buried.’ He said: ‘This will be done for you.’ He ordered that her children be thrown into it in front of her, one by one, until they came to the last one who was an infant boy who was still being breastfed. It was as she wavered because of him but he said: ‘O mother, go ahead, for the punishment of this world is easier to bear than the punishment of the hereafter.’ So she went ahead.”
 Ibn ‘Abbaas (Radia Allahu anhu) said : Four infants spoke: ‘Eesa ibn Maryam (Alehsalam), the companion of Jurayj, the witness of Yoosuf and the son of the hairdresser of Pharaoh’s daughter.

Looking with the heart

Khalf Ibn Tameem ,reported that he heard Sufyaan say: "The vision of one's eyes is meant for this world , and the vision of one's heart is meant from the Hereafter. When a man looks with his eyes , he benefits naught. It is when he looks with his heart that he benefits.

Abdur Rahmaan Ibn 'Abdullah al Basri reported that a man said to Sufyaan : "Advise me" Sufyaan said: "Work for this world in proportion to the time you will stay in it (which does not amount to many years) and work for the Hereafter in proportion to the time you will stay in it (for eternity) and Peace be upon You.

Yousuf Ibn Asbaat reported that he heard Sufyaan Ath-Thauree say: " The following three are from patience : Do not speak about a calamity that has befallen you ; do not speak about your pain; and do not praise yourself."

"Once, I was in the presence of the Shaikh, a man came asking the Shaykh (financial) assistance , so the Shaykh gave him a generous amount. However the man was not satisfied and sayd to the Shaykh " This is not enought for my needs" So the Shaikh, most humbly and respectfully, said to him:
" Take it, and then will be Baraqah in it , with the permission of Allah"
And it appeared the man understood what the Shaykh had intended , so he took the money, thanking the Shaykh as he left."
