لا زالت تذكر كلماته : ” صونيها – أي الثلاثين ألف دينار- وثمريها ، وأنفقي منها على نفسك ووليدك بالمعروف حتى أعود إليك سالمًا غانمًا ، أو يرزقني الله الشهادة التي أتمناها “
She still remembered his words clearly: “Guard it — meaning the thirty thousand dinars — invest it, and spend from it on yourself and your child in a proper manner until I return to you safe and victorious, or until Allah grants me the martyrdom I long for.”
نزلت الأم ولا يزال رنين كلمات زوجها كما لو كان لتوه ، أمرت الجميع أن يتفرقوا شاكرة لهم حسن صنيعهم ، فإنما الرجل فرّوخ زوجها ووالد جارهم الشاب .
The mother came down while the echo of her husband’s words still rang in her ears as though he had only just spoken them. She asked everyone to disperse, thanking them for their good intentions, and explained that the man was Farukh, her husband and the father of their young neighbor.
لم يتمالك الرجلان نفسيهما فأكب كل منهما على الآخر معانقًا إياه ، والابن يجثو على يد أبيه يلثمها معتذرًا فرحًا – لقد اختلطت المشاعر عند كليهما ، وتقاطرت الدموع منهما ، فرحًا بلقاء لم يكن في حسبان أحدهما أو كليهما .
Neither man could restrain himself. Each embraced the other, while the son knelt and kissed his father’s hand, apologizing through his joy. Their emotions became completely intertwined, and tears flowed from both of them in happiness at a reunion neither of them had ever expected.
جلست الزوجة إلى زوجها يحدثها عن مسيرة ثلث قرن من الجهاد مع جيوش المسلمين ، مبينًا لها سبب غيبته وانقطاعه ، ظل الفارس يتحدث ولكن الزوجة كانت في هواجس أخرى ،
The wife sat with her husband as he told her about nearly a third of a century spent in jihad with the Muslim armies, explaining the reasons for his long absence and the complete break in communication. The warrior continued speaking, but his wife’s mind was occupied with another concern.
تحاول أن تجد إجابة مرضية لزوجها إذا سألها عن ذلك المبلغ الذي تركه على أن تثمره وتنفق منه بمعروف ، إنها تحاول أن تعثر على إجابة لا تغضبه ، ولكن كيف ؟
She was trying to find a satisfactory answer in case her husband asked about the money he had left with her to invest and spend from in a proper manner. She searched for an answer that would not anger him — but how could she possibly explain it?
ها هو يسألها وهي تتشاغل عنه ، هل تخبره أنه لم يعد من الثلاثين ألف دينار شيء ، أيقنعه أنها جميعًا أنفقت على تعليم ولده وتأديبه ؟
Now he was asking her about it while she tried to distract herself from the question. Should she tell him that nothing remained of the thirty thousand dinars? Would he believe that all of it had been spent on the education and upbringing of his son?
وأي علم ذلك الذي يستغرق كل هذا المال ؟! ، أيصدق أن ولده سخي النفس كريم الطبع ، لا يكاد ينقطع عن النفقة في كل وجوه الخير والبر ؟
What kind of education could possibly consume such a vast amount of money? Would he believe that his son was generous of spirit and noble in character, constantly spending in all kinds of charitable and righteous causes?
وبينما هي في خواطرها المتسارعة ، والتي قطعت عليها فرحتها بشمل جمعه الله بعدما ظنت كل الظن ألا يتلاقيا ، وبينما هي كذلك إذ قطع عليها تفكيرها بقوله : ” لقد جئتك – يا أم ربيعت – بأربعة آلاف دينار ، فأخرجي المال الذي أودعتك إياه ، نشتري به عقارًا أو بستانًا نعيش من غلته ما بقيت بنا الحياة “
While these thoughts raced through her mind, disturbing the joy of a reunion that Allah had brought about after she had become convinced they would never meet again, her husband interrupted her thoughts by saying: “O Umm Rabi’ah, I have come back to you with four thousand dinars. Bring out the money I entrusted to you so that we may purchase some property or a garden and live from its income for the rest of our lives.”
حاولت الزوجة أن تتشاغل عنه ، فلم تجبه ولكنه ألحّ في الطلب – إنها تخشى غضبته ، فيما لو عرف الحقيقة ، فماذا تفعل ؟
The wife tried to avoid answering him, but he persisted in his request. She feared his anger if he discovered the truth. What was she to do?
ردت في حكمة وثبات : لقد وضعته حيث يجب أن يوضع ، وسأخرجه لك إن شاء الله ،
With wisdom and composure, she replied: “I have placed it where it ought to be placed, and I will bring it out for you, in sha Allah.”
هنا انطلق صوت المؤذن لصلاة الفجر ، فقطع حديثهما ، وهَمَّ بالخروج إلى المسجد متسائلاً عن ربيعة ، ولكن ربيعة كان قد سبقه إلى مسجد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ،
At that moment, the voice of the mu’adhdhin rose for the Fajr prayer and interrupted their conversation. He prepared to leave for the mosque while asking about Rabi’ah, but Rabi’ah had already preceded him to the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
يخالجه شوق إلى روضة المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم ، ويدفعه حنين ثلاثين سنة عاشها مجاهدًا ، بعيدًا عن مدينته صلى الله عليه وسلم ،
A deep longing for the Rawdah of al-Mustafa ﷺ stirred within him, driven by thirty years of yearning spent as a warrior far from the City of the Prophet ﷺ.
وها هو يؤدي الصلاة ثم يجلس في الروضة الشريفة ، يملأ نفسه وعينه بذكر وصلاة ودعاء طالما اشتاق إليه في هذا المكان ،
He performed the prayer and then sat in the noble Rawdah, filling his heart and his eyes with remembrance, prayer, and supplication — acts he had long yearned to perform in that blessed place.
وها هو يخرج من المسجد ، ولكن ساحة المسجد تغص بالناس ، فلم يعد فيها موطأ لقدم .
When he came out of the mosque, however, he found its courtyard overflowing with people, so crowded that there was scarcely room to place a foot.
الكل يتحلق حلقة في إثر حلقة حول شيخ مهيب ، لم يتبين ملامحه لبعده عنه ، ولكن بيان الشيخ يأخذ باللبيب ، إذ ينثال على الشفاه علم متدفق يدل على حافظة واعية ، لا تكاد تغيب عنها شاردة ،
Everyone was seated in circle after circle around an imposing Shaykh. From where Farukh stood, he could not clearly make out the Shaykh’s features because of the distance. Yet the Shaykh’s eloquence captivated every discerning listener, as knowledge flowed from his lips in abundance, revealing a sharp and disciplined memory from which scarcely anything seemed to escape.
لقد أدهش الرجل خضوع الناس بين يدي الشيخ ، وتزاحمهم عليه وإحاطتهم به ، واندفاعهم خلفه بعدما ما أنهى حديثه ،
Farukh was astonished at the respect people showed before the Shaykh, at how they crowded around him and surrounded him, and how they hurried after him once he had finished his lesson.
To be continued in the next part, in sha Allah
