Woman Behind the Veil
Chapter 30
the evening after the ba'da Isya mosque in my home complex is the arrival of guests from Jakarta, namely ustadz Firanda Andirja, an ustadz with qualified knowledge and often fill in studies at the nabawi mosque, Madinah, I did not waste the opportunity to gain knowledge from him, at that time the theme of the study "the charm of the Angel of Heaven" a very scientific and very motivating discussion for pilgrims to race to pursue the afterlife to get fadhilah enjoy being a paradise.
myself after hearing the study seemed to want to hurry to practice what he said, after the study was completed ended with a question and answer session from the congregation to Ustadz, he said, and there is one interesting question from an Akhwat, he asked "ustadz is it reprehensible if an Akhwat volunteered to be married by a Brotherhood?"
ustadz then replied "there is no reproach at all for Akhwat who wants to propose to the Brotherhood to be married as our Mother Khadijah Radhiallahu'anha proposed to our Prophet Muhammad shallallahu'alaihi wassalam and there is also a proposition
From Tsabit al-Bunani that Anas bin Malik once told,
جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ – صلى الله عليه وسلم – تَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَكَ بِى حَاجَةٌ
There was a woman facing the Prophet Shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam offering herself to the Prophet shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you want to marry me?"
Hearing this, the daughter of Anas bin Malik immediately commented,
مَا أَقَلَّ حَيَاءَهَا وَاسَوْأَتَاهْ وَاسَوْأَتَاهْ
"How shameless is he. What a shame, what a shame."
Anas replied to his comment, though,
هِىَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكِ رَغِبَتْ فِى النَّبِىِّ – صلى الله عليه وسلم – فَعَرَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسَهَا
"He is better than you, he wants to marry the Prophet Shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam, and offer himself to the Prophet shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam." (CHR. Bukhari 5120)
"so there is no reproach for Akhwat to propose himself to be married to a Brotherhood but better through an intermediary such as his mahrom"
after hearing the answer from Ustadz the study was completed because the question was the last question from the congregation, I then left the mosque with several complex congregations, then walked along with some of my neighbors including Zubair.
"who is Akh Akhwan that Akhwat likes the questioner?, lucky to think" asked Zubair
"do you know Akhi, do you want antum?" candaku
"hehe..one is grateful, afraid the endak can be fair that there ribs ana fell in the day of retaliation later" replied Zubair
while walking casually accompanied by small talk with Zubair arrived from behind the sound of a man greeting us "assalamu'alaikum warrahmatullah"
"wa'alaikumsalam warrahmatullah" we both said simultaneously while turning our bodies towards the back
a 40-45-year-old man was standing behind us with a friendly smile, and then his hand wanted to shake my hand and said, "name of Ana Toha, if you may know the name antum?" ask her
"oh yes Ana Abe Pak, if this is Zubair" I said introduce myself
"oh if Mas Zubair is already familiar, Ana just wants to get to know Antum closer, if there is time can Ana Sowan go home?"
"oh na'am na'am sir, tafadhol if you want to go to Ana's house" I replied
"jazakallah khairon Akhi, God willing, tomorrow Ana Sowan to the house of Antum" he said and passed from before me
on the way home I asked him what he was going to say?, and there were people who wanted to get to know me when I was not a famous person.
so thinking about the incident just now I almost hit Aisyah who was putting a motor into the garage "BUUUKK...ADUUHHH" said Aisyah
"what are you doing here?" much
"should Aisyah ask Mas where is the view?know his wife this big was hit too" Aisyah snorted in annoyance
"hehe sorry, the way of view just saw my big toe doang kok Syah"
"no other Akhwat lyrics" Aisyah asked as her eyebrows rose next door
do you see that your husband's face is looking at something that Allah forbids?"
"hehe sorryfin your wife yah Mas, just kidding me doang kok" while a slide on my shoulder
I also sat in the guest room while Aisyah kitchen to make tea for me, I still keep thinking about the incident, I hope that the Father brings good not bad to my house.
"heh Mas, what are you daydreaming about?, from the last light continues?, anyone wants to be told?" said Aisyah who came to bring tea served in front of me
"oh ndak kok yank, just nginget the incident just after praying there was a 40-45 year old Brotherhood came to know me, he said tomorrow want to visit home, do not want to say what" said I
"you want the arrival of guests anyway, is that why?, is it just a guest doang who wants the silahturahmi same neighbor"
"Yes, too, did you think of others, saying how the sale of our clothes Yank?" ask me
"hmmm, there was Mas 2 people of the Brotherhood mesan gamis, the other from the other jogja in west Java, just finished I wrap up live sent tomorrow" said Aisyah
"Alhamdulillah there is also a mesen shirt, hopefully add rame deh mesen" said I while rubbing his cheek
"aamiin" answered Aisha
the next morning around 10 am when I was relaxing while playing my laptop listening to the study while marketing the gamis products I wanted to sell on Instagram, because they are still selling clothes online so that customers rarely comment or ngeDM to order, it is natural that they may not fully trust the new seller even though the product I offer is very good.
"ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM" a voice came from outside the entrance of the house
at that time I was sitting in the guest room so it was clear the voice of the person who was greeting from behind the door.
"wa'alaikumsalam warrahmatullah" I said, rising from my seat to the front door
when my door opened it turned out that Father last night who wanted to meet me intensely who came to fulfill his promise last night, but he was not alone, he was not alone, he was with a veiled Akhwat who hid behind the body of the Father, I thought the Akhwat was his wife but too young to be the wife of the Father, suitable like Son and Father.
"Masya Allah ahlan wa sahlan sir, let's go in, tafadhol.. tafadhol" my pinta.
"jazakallahu khair Akhi, sorry if it interferes with his activities this morning" he said
"oh no sir, I happen to be relaxing at home" I replied
He then entered the house and sat down while the Akhwat was accompanying from behind and sat beside the Father, I then went to the kitchen to ask Aisyah to make a drink for guests and then came back to Mr. Toha, clearly visible to me the Akhwat like shaking the arm of Mr. Toha like a child who wants to ask for something, I don't think too much about it.
"have I moved here for a long time?" ask Him
"just now sir, not a week" I replied
"where did Akhi come from?"
"the original woman lived in the village of Madinah Pak" I replied
"oalah ana also has relatives there, my brother and sister live there as well as the problem" he said
I was silent as I watched him speak, until a very serious remark came out of Mr. Toha's mouth.
"hmmm...in fact this is Akh, the purpose of the arrival of Ana here is good is to want to marry, and in addition also want to offer the child of Ana Umi Kalsum if Antum is willing to marry"
hearing the statement from the Father I was stunned to not expect the word to come out of his mouth, and more to my surprise Aisyah was standing while her hand was still carrying a drink, he seemed to have heard what the father said.
I can't imagine what Aisyah felt when she heard that someone had offered an Akhwat to her husband.
