Household Chores<\/strong>
\nHousehold chores are necessary in marital life. Until these are not carried out properly, the affairs of the house do not run smoothly.

\nRasulullah \ufdfa decided that his daughter Fatimah RA will handle internal household chores while \u2018Ali RA will handle external household chores. [Hilyat al Awliya\u02be vol. 6 pg. 104 narration 340]<\/p>\n

Requesting for a Slave for Household Chores<\/strong>
\nWhen Fatimah RA began living with her husband, she would complete the household chores all by herself as was just mentioned. It was the beginning stages of Islam. Sometimes, slaves and slave girls would come after conquests and would be distributed among the Muslims. Once, some slaves came into the possession of Rasulullah \ufdfa, and \u2018Ali RA advised Fatimah RA to go to Rasulullah \ufdfa and request for a slave who could assist in her household chores; thus absolving her of the burden. Thus, Fatimah RA went to Rasulullah, but there were some other people by him talking to him. Fatimah RA thus returned and was unable to make her request. After some time, Rasulullah went to her house and \u2018Ali RA was also present.<\/p>\n

Rasulullah \ufdfa asked Fatimah RA her reason for coming to him. Out of modesty, Fatimah RA remained silent. Ali RA took up the courage to tell Rasulullah \ufdfa and explained, \u201cFatimah does all the house work herself. She grinds the mill which has caused calluses on her hands. She carries water bags of water which have left marks on her body. Some slaves have come to you so I advised her to request for a slave so that she can be saved from these burdens.\u201d In reply, Rasulullah \ufdfa advised his daughter to do her house work herself. He then told her that when she intends sleeping at night, she should recite \u0633\u0628\u062d\u0627\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 33 times, \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0644\u0644\u0647 33 times and \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0627\u0643\u0628\u0631 34 times which equal to a 100. These are better for you than a slave. Fatimah replied, \u201cI am pleased with Allah and His Rasul.\u201d [Bukhari, Abu Dawood]<\/p>\n

There is a great lesson for women in this incident. The households which were lofty in Islam, their women folk lived with simplicity. They would do housework themselves and are deserving of great rewards.<\/p>\n

The Poverty Stricken Life of this Woman of Jannat and her Insufficient Clothes<\/strong>
\nIncidents of her poverty stricken life have been documented by many authors. An incident regarding the simple dress of Fatimah RA is reported by Anas RA, that Rasulullah \ufdfa brought a slave \u2013 which he had gifted to Fatimah RA. She was wearing a piece of cloth (which was small) that if she had to cover her head, her feet would be exposed and if she covered her feet, her head would be exposed. When Rasulullah \ufdfa saw her plight he consoled her saying, \u201cDo not worry. It is only your father and your slave.\u201d [Sunan Abi Dawood vol. 2 pg. 213]<\/p>\n

We learn from this that the clothes of Fatimah RA at home were barely sufficient. There were no formalities in clothing. Whatever was available was worn.<\/p>\n

Abstention from Decorations<\/strong>
\nRasulullah \ufdfa was averse to worldly adornment and embellishment. There were no ornaments or decorations in the house of Rasulullah \ufdfa and he did not approve of decorations for his blessed children as well.<\/p>\n

Safinah RA reports that a man visited Ali RA. Ali RA prepared some food for him. Fatimah RA suggested, \u201cShould we not invite Rasulullah \ufdfa to eat with us?\u201d Thus, they invited him. He came and placed his hands on the door frame. He saw a decorated cloth hanging on one side of the house upon which he returned. Fatimah RA says, \u201cI followed him and asked, O Rasulullah, what made you return?\u201d He replied, \u201cIt is not appropriate for me or for a Nabi to enter a decorated house.\u201d [Narrated by Ahmed and Ibn Majah]<\/p>\n

We learn from this that worldly glitter and glimmer had no value in the eyes of Rasulullah \ufdfa, but instead there was aversion to it.<\/p>\n

Service in the Battle of Uhud<\/strong>
\nThe Battle of Uhud is one of the famous battles fought in Islam. It was a fearsome offensive attack of the kuffar upon the Muslims wherein the Muslim warriors fought bravely and the Muslim women participated by serving in this arduous battle. In this very battle, the blessed tooth of Rasulullah \ufdfa was injured, Ali RA brought water and Fatimah RA began cleaning the wound of Rasulullah \ufdfa. Fatimah RA was cleaning the wound while Ali RA was pouring water from a shield. When Fatimah RA saw that the water was only increasing the flow of blood, she took a piece of straw mat, burnt it and applied it to the wound which caused the flow of blood to cease.
