But to the Prophet ﷺ, she was more noble than many. Not much is known about the life of Umm Mahjan (ra). But what we do know is enough to emulate. When she died, the Prophet ﷺ immediately noticed her absence and gave her a special funeral. Learn what he ﷺ... ## Transcript **[0:00]** Dear brothers and sisters, the life of the Prophet ﷺ and the companions around him continues to give us so much and as I said, SubhanAllah, every single sahabi, you fall **[0:18]** in love with the Prophet ﷺ over and over and over again. The next category of people that we're going to cover, bi'idhnillahi ta'ala, are people who hit a little bit different in regards to that love because their biographies are short, but the one or two recorded interactions **[0:35]** that you have about the Prophet ﷺ with them are so profoundly beautiful and awe-inspiring and give us so many lessons that they're actually so practical. And so consider the next three biographies insha'Allah ta'ala to be shama'il class, a lesson in how the Prophet ﷺ used **[0:57]** to deal with people, particularly the next three that we're going to cover insha'Allah ta'ala are of the category of the unnoticed. They're the people that disappear in the community, they're the people that others don't say salam to, they are the people that no one asks about, **[1:13]** they're the people that go and come and no one even knows that they were there in the first place, and the more involved you are in the community's affairs, the less likely you are to notice them. And so SubhanAllah I'll say this from the perspective of an imam, **[1:31]** like it's the hardest for an imam to keep track of these things, or for someone that's dealing with the masjid at a macro level. But somehow the Prophet ﷺ not only notices these people but he gives them an incredible stature. And so we're going to go through three biographies insha'Allah ta'ala, short biographies bi'idhnillahi ta'ala. The next **[1:51]** season of the first we're going to actually do the mawali, the freed slaves in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, which is actually a whole set of biographies insha'Allah ta'ala, about ten to fifteen biographies that we'll cover when we get there bi'idhnillahi ta'ala. So the people that we're covering today are not necessarily from the mawali, but they fit **[2:09]** the same mold of those who were most prone to exploitation in society and most easily forgotten. So we'll start with a very famous story, the woman that used to clean the masjid. **[2:26]** And before I start with her, I actually want to give this introduction about the virtues of cleaning the masjid. SubhanAllah so that the next time you walk outside and you see a bag of chips or you see something laying on the ground insha'Allah ta'ala, maybe you'll take this into consideration. Sulaiman ibn Samura, rahimahullah, he narrates **[2:44]** from his father Samura, rahimahullah, that he wrote to his son as his son was far away and he said to proceed, فإن رسول الله ﷺ كان يأمرنا بالمساجد أن نصنعها في ديارنا **[3:03]** ونصلح صنعتها ونطهرها. That the Prophet ﷺ used to command us to build masajid in our localities and he used to command us to keep them well and to keep them clean and to keep them pure. That the Prophet ﷺ used to explicitly give these instructions. **[3:22]** So when you build a masjid in a place, don't just build it and neglect it, make sure that the upkeep is also there. And I want you to think about the rapid construction of masajid in the time of the Prophet ﷺ. Like right now when you walk around Medina and you find the ruins, like he was only there for a decade ﷺ but there is a masjid in every hayy, a masjid **[3:45]** in every single area, every neighborhood had a masjid. And you can still find its ruins today for the most part. The Prophet ﷺ would say build a masjid, take care of it, build a masjid, take care of it, build a masjid, take care of it. So what ends up happening is that a whole society, a whole neighborhood gets into their mindset in the time of the Prophet ﷺ that the **[4:04]** center of our neighborhood is the masjid and everyone is responsible for its upkeep. So the kids grow up with a mindset towards it, the adults grow up with a mindset towards it. And the ulama say in the commentary on this hadith, because this is a letter that's being given as an instruction, that as fast as Islam spread before the sahaba built their homes in a place, **[4:24]** they built the masjid first. So it was like a sunnah that had some repetition to it that when the Prophet ﷺ came to Medina, the masjid took precedence over his own home ﷺ. Likewise when the sahaba went anywhere in the world, the masjid took precedence over their own homes, but the **[4:43]** Prophet ﷺ used to also indicate that they should be kept clean. Aisha (رضي الله عنها), as she narrates, qalat amara rasool Allah ﷺ bi bina il masajdi fidduri, that the Prophet ﷺ, he commanded us to build multiple masajid in the different locations, in different localities. **[5:07]** And that they should be cleaned and they should be perfumed. So you'll find entire chapters in the books of hadith about the scent of the masjid. How does the masjid smell? And it gives you some context to like your breath, like that you're part of the ibadah, you know, you're engaging in **[5:23]** individual ibadah and you're beautifying the masjid when you brush your teeth before you come to the masjid, right? And you put on, you know, something that smells good, that you don't bring any foul stench to the masjid. And in one narration, it's mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ used to be in the **[5:40]** masjid cleaning it with his own hands to the extent, I want you to think about this, so you don't think that this belongs to a particular type, to the extent that he was seen peeling dried snot off of his minbar ﷺ. Like you think who wiped their nose out of all places you could **[5:59]** find was the minbar of the Prophet ﷺ. Look, people were learning, this was rapid conversion happening, okay? So you had the story of the man that urinated in the masjid, like all right, like he came to the masjid, got off his camel, he looked around, he went to the corner of the masjid and **[6:16]** just started urinating, okay? People are learning pretty quickly and they're of different classes and different backgrounds and you know just yesterday they didn't even know that there was an unseen god or there was anything beyond this world. They were relegated to bones and dirt **[6:32]** and now they're being told that there is Allah and there is the houses of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and you have to treat it with this way. And Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) I'll just move on from here because the ahadith are numerous and beautiful that the Prophet ﷺ **[6:54]** he saw one time ﷺ some snot, some dried snot. Nukhama could be like, not to get too descriptive, but someone spit something out and it stuck or it could be from the nose but it stuck and it was a lot and she says **[7:13]** that the Prophet ﷺ got upset and his face turned red okay so a woman from the Ansar got up she saw the face of the Prophet ﷺ and she got up and she scratched it off herself **[7:30]** and she you know she then cleaned it up and she put some perfume in its place and the Prophet ﷺ smiled and he said like what a beautiful action that she just did. Is this the same woman that **[7:46]** we're talking about? Allah knows best. These are the things that are left to the muhaditheen but just how that small action made the Prophet ﷺ so happy so quickly he went from being upset that someone had the disregard and he would have gone and cleaned it himself he became overjoyed **[8:03]** by the simple act of a woman to go then and to clean it and he said what a beautiful example that was just that what a beautiful small deed that was just set. The ulama would say you know give this a layer and I couldn't find this in writing but I do remember one of my shuyukh and **[8:23]** hadith commenting on this. He said if the Prophet ﷺ said I saw someone strolling in Jannah because he removed something harmful from the road and he said ﷺ that the lowest act of iman the lowest branch of iman is to remove something harmful from the road **[8:41]** then imagine to remove something harmful from the houses of Allah ﷻ so I never want you to see that bug or that tissue or that thing ever again the same way when you're walking out or you're walking in this place always think that's Jannah right there that's my Jannah right there if the **[8:59]** Prophet ﷺ would say how good is that Allah would say how good is that and it might be that that small action is what gets you into Jannah. Another contrast that I was thinking about when we talk **[9:14]** about this woman, you contrast SubhanAllah this woman who is mentioned by the name of her husband as carrying the firewood of hellfire. Who are we talking about? The wife of Abu Lahab and what was **[9:30]** her crime? That she used to drop atha, she used to drop garbage filth right in front of the Prophet ﷺ's house. She would obstruct his path with with atha ﷺ and her royalty burns with her in hell. Whereas this woman that we're going to talk about is from **[9:50]** a completely humble background we don't know much about her at all but she becomes royalty in the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ and amongst the most royal generation of all being the sahaba of the Prophet ﷺ. So who is this woman? Her name comes in two ways **[10:08]** Mahjana or Ummi Mahjana. Mahjana or Ummi Mahjana. So Ummi Mahjana or Mahjana. Bint who? We don't know. We don't know who she's the daughter of, we don't know what tribe she's from, we know nothing but **[10:25]** the first name. Everything else is very subjective and you have to piece her biography through several narrations and sometimes there's an assumption being made that this is the same woman being spoken about here. So like in the hadith that I mentioned about the woman that went and quickly dried this, it would make sense that if there was a woman that used to look **[10:43]** after the masjid and she saw it and she went there quicker that it was expected and the Prophet ﷺ found happiness in her action. And there's one story that potentially is her backstory and it makes the most sense to be her backstory because of the way that it ends. Aisha she says **[11:04]** there was a woman that used to clean the masjid in Medina and I used to go sit with her and she would sit with me and we would talk. I used to enjoy her company. Already tells you by the way the the breaking down of barriers in society. Aisha (رضي الله عنها) Ummul Mu'mineen, **[11:21]** the mother of the believers, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ and she said I used to enjoy going and talking to her. Now she's next door, the masjid of the Prophet ﷺ is the house so that means that sometimes at night perhaps, that means that sometimes after the salah when everyone has **[11:37]** left you have the visual of Aisha (رضي الله عنها) sitting in the corner talking to the woman that's cleaning the masjid. And Aisha (رضي الله عنها) said that she had this poem that she kept on reciting and the Arabs were known for abyat. The Arabs had these lines like it **[11:53]** wasn't uncommon to find a person that would have that line of poetry that they always would say to themselves and hum to themselves. We find it with numerous companions. Her line was **[12:13]** and the day of the red scarf was an amazing miracle from the Lord and verily he saved me from a disbelieving people. So one day she said I asked her I always hear you saying this **[12:28]** so you can imagine her going around the masjid cleaning up and she keeps saying this statement to herself and what is it? So she sat me down and she told me the story. She said that I was a slave girl amongst the people and the implication is that she was from Habesha, Habesha. Okay so she **[12:47]** was from Abyssinia somewhere from Africa in the broadest sense. Habesha in the broadest sense. We don't know what part exactly what tribe anything like that right but she said that I was a slave girl amongst the people and I used to take care of the daughter of the head of the tribe. So he **[13:04]** was a powerful man. My master was a powerful man and his daughter was you know under my care and he said so one day we were on a journey and you can imagine her on the journey taking care of the daughter of this man and she had a wisha this like precious red scarf. Okay and she says that **[13:27]** when she went to sleep and she put her red scarf to the side and it was made of something special or it was you know very shiny she said that this bird came and picked it up and took it away. Okay so as the bird came and picked it up and took it away she theorizes that maybe it thought **[13:47]** it was some kind of meat or there was some kind of food or whatever it is but just swooped in and took it away. So the girl wakes up starts touching herself looks to the side and she starts to cry out that someone stole my red scarf. Okay so the master comes who's her dad **[14:08]** and says to me what happens because I'm supposed to be the caretaker you know I'm not supposed to sleep everybody else goes to sleep I have to watch everything right like that's the expectation. She's the first one to blame so she said I said wallahi while she was sleeping a bird came and took it and went away with it thinking that it was some kind of food or there was some kind of food **[14:27]** inside of it and what did the master say to her the master said you couldn't come up with a more creative lie than this that's the best you can do a bird came and took her scarf that's all you've got. Now SubhanAllah she then says and this is the harsh reality of the life that she's coming from **[14:47]** and she's sharing it with Aisha (رضي الله عنها) she says that they then strung me up and they did not leave a single part of my body except that they stripped me and they beat me they searched me and they beat me. So I became the victim for something I didn't do at all. **[15:04]** They took me, they put me in the middle, started to beat me, they started to search me, they violated me. And obviously this is a very traumatic incident and she's like a bird came and took the red scarf. I didn't take it. And then she says that while they're doing this, **[15:19]** suddenly bird swoops in and drops the red scarf right between them. So when they saw that, the father, the master felt so bad for what he did that he freed her. **[15:35]** So her freedom came because of this incident. So SubhanAllah she says and while that happened, so she's somewhere in the Arab world now, right? She said I heard that the Prophet ﷺ had appeared here and I was curious about what's going on here. **[15:52]** So she said I came to Medina and I found the Prophet ﷺ and I embraced Islam. SubhanAllah and she said and that's the meaning of وَيَوْمَ الْوِشَاحِ مِنْ أَعَاجِي بِرَبِّنَا That day was such an incredible day, one of the miracles of the Lord. **[16:11]** أَلَا إِنَّهُ مِن بَلْدَةِ الْكُفْرِ أَنْجَانِ Verily He saved me from a disbelieving people. SubhanAllah, pause here, you have no idea the story of these people. The stories that are in your masjid. How Allah ﷻ brought someone to the masjid of the Prophet ﷺ. **[16:26]** You think about all the things that had to go wrong, right? But to bring her to that moment where she is just by virtue of meeting the Prophet ﷺ and believing in him, a Muslimah, a Mu'minah, a Sahabiyah. So if it just stops at that, she gets to now belong to not just the Muslims **[16:42]** and Ummah Muhammad ﷺ and earn her salvation on the Day of Judgment The bird came and stole a red scarf and threw it back and all this stuff. But she gets to be from the Sahabiyah. That in and of itself is enough. But Aisha (رضي الله عنها), she says **[16:57]** فَكَانَ لَهَا خِبَاءٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَوْ حِفْشِ She had like a khibah. A khibah is like a tent that's made of leather. It's like a long-standing tent. You know the Arabs used to have tents that they would pitch for short journeys and they had tents that were made for long-term endurance. **[17:15]** So a khibah means something that's a semi-permanent type of tent that she had in the masjid. Or a hifsh, more like a hut. Okay? So you can imagine when you came into the Prophet ﷺ's masjid, you had Ahl as-Suffah, then you had this woman that lived in the masjid, **[17:33]** she had her tent, she had her little hut, and basically when the Sahaba would finish their salah and they would leave when the masjid would empty out, she'd go around and she'd clean it up, and she would perfume the masjid as well. **[17:49]** So this is the woman, SubhanAllah, look at the story that's behind her. This is the woman that's going around and perfuming the masjid and cleaning it up until Bilal (رضي الله عنه) comes out and gives the adhan. Like you think about the community that the Prophet ﷺ is building and the empowerment and the love and the reverence, right? **[18:06]** Like the stories of these people, SubhanAllah, as they're building a new home for themselves and a new life for themselves. And the Prophet ﷺ honoured her, of course, in a very special way. Now you come to the hadith of Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه) **[18:21]** about what appears to be the same woman, right? He says (رضي الله عنه) that there was a woman that used to clean the masjid of the Prophet ﷺ and the only detail he mentions is that she was African. **[18:39]** He doesn't mention anything else about her. We don't know anything about her. And he says that one day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and he noticed that she was missing. So he asked, where is she? **[18:54]** He came out and asked, where is she? And they said, she died. And SubhanAllah, the Prophet ﷺ noticed that she was missing and he missed her ﷺ. And he immediately catches these types of things in his masjid. **[19:11]** What do you mean she died? Ya Rasulullah, she died, it was night time. We didn't want to wake you up. It was late and some of the women came, they took care of her, they did her ghusl and we prayed janazah on her and we buried her. **[19:28]** The Prophet ﷺ says, أَفَلَا كُنْتُمْ آذَنْتُمُونِي I mean, couldn't you have come and told me what happened? And Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه), he's the one who says, فَكَأَنَّهُمْ سَغَّرُوا أَمْرَهَا **[19:43]** It seems like they belittled her affair. Like they didn't realize how much she meant to the Prophet ﷺ and how great she actually was, like her rank actually was. So they said, Ya Rasulullah, I mean, we're sorry, we didn't know, we honestly just didn't want to bother you. **[19:58]** And the implication is if this was a woman of status or this was someone else, obviously it would have been like an announcement on the groups, right? And people would have come and they would have carpooled and it would have been something, figuratively of course. Ya Rasulullah, it was just a woman, they used to clean the masjids, **[20:14]** just one of the freed slave women, we don't know anything about her. What's the big deal? The Prophet ﷺ was so upset. So he said ﷺ, دُلُّونِي عَلَى قَبْرِهَا فَدَلُّوهُ فَصَلَّ عَلَيْهَا The Prophet ﷺ said, take me to her grave, **[20:30]** take me to where you buried her. So they took the Prophet ﷺ to her and he prayed on her ﷺ a separate janazah. And he said ﷺ, إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ الْقُبُورَ مَمْلُوءَةٌ ظُلْمَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهَا **[20:46]** That verily these graves are full of darkness for their occupants. وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُنَوِّرُهَا لَهُمْ بِصَلَاتِ عَلَيْهِمْ And verily Allah gives light to these graves by my praying upon these people. Almost to say, don't ever think that anyone is so insignificant again. **[21:04]** Because the difference between my praying upon someone when they pass away and my not praying upon them could be the darkness and the light. Do not belittle her situation. There's an alternative narration that's weaker. **[21:19]** So the first one is متفق علي. It's actually narrated in the six books and it's authentic. There's another narration that's a little bit longer that the Prophet ﷺ saw a fresh grave and that piqued his interest. So you can imagine like seeing a fresh grave and the Baqir is not that many people **[21:38]** and the Prophet's ﷺ house is between the Masjid and the Baqir. And then also noticing that a person is missing and he says ﷺ, who is this? And they say Umm Hijam. So this is where the name actually comes out from, Umm Hijam. The Prophet ﷺ says, الَّتِي كَانَتُ قُومُ الْمَسْجِدِ **[21:54]** You mean the one that used to live in the Masjid and care for the Masjid? قالوا نعم They said yes. فصف الناس So the Prophet ﷺ lined up the people. وصلّى عليها And he prayed upon her ﷺ. Now in this narration, which is weaker, **[22:11]** okay, which is weaker. And there is a weakness in the chain. And so I mentioned it just to, if you see it and you see the virtue of it, it's one of those things that we can't confirm happened. But SubhanAllah, the beauty of the entire story comes out. That he said, أيّ العمل وجدتي أفضل **[22:27]** Like he was talking to her ﷺ. Which deed did you find to be the best? فقالوا يا رسول الله أتسمع They said, يا رسول الله, does she hear you? Like which deed have you found to be the most hopeful for you in this regard? And the Prophet ﷺ said, **[22:42]** ما أنتم بأسمع منها You do not hear better than her. Meaning that Allah عز و جل causes her to hear. And we know that this is established through other places that the Prophet ﷺ addressed Abu Jahl. Right? The enemies and said, have you found the promise of Allah to be true? **[22:57]** The promise of punishment. So in this situation, the Prophet ﷺ is saying that she also hears me. فذكر أنها أجابته ﷺ That it's been mentioned that she responded to the Prophet ﷺ from her grave. **[23:12]** And she said, تقوم المسجد That it was the cleaning up of the masjid. So this is the first woman. (رضي الله عنها) أم محجن That Allah عز و جل be pleased with her and have mercy on her. And this is all that we know about her. **[23:27]** So what are the ulama derived from her story? Obviously, number one, the virtue of cleaning the masjid. Obviously, they'll talk about that. And it's the most obvious one. Number two, the right of the janazah of a Muslim, even when that Muslim is unknown. That one of the sunnah that gets lost amongst the people is to not pray janazah. **[23:43]** If you didn't notice them in life, you don't notice them in death. Okay? If you didn't notice them in life, you don't notice them in death. Number three, the status. إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ Verily, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is your taqwa, is your piety. **[23:59]** This took time to learn. Like this takes time to practice. Not everyone gets this right away. Right? We have the narrations where you have some of the jahiliyya, the ignorance that comes back. It resurfaces. The tribalism was still fresh. The elitism is still fresh. All of these things are still fresh. **[24:15]** It takes time to just get away from the ignorance of it. But to get to a point where this woman is actually أَكْرَمَ مِنْكُمْ She's actually more noble than you, is a very, very hard thing for people to actually come to terms with and to actually understand. **[24:31]** And obviously, the stories that people have, سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَتَعَالَىٰ Allah عز و جل sets them in different directions so that they can arrive at the place that is best for them فِي الدُّنْيَا وِالْآخِرَةِ in this life and the next. So this is أُمْ مِحْجَنَ (رضي الله عنها) **[24:48]** or مَحْجَنَ (رضي الله عنها) and that's all we know about her. الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَقُمُوا الْمَسْجِدِ The one that used to clean the masjid, perfume the masjid, and take care of it and has an incredible story behind her. ## Other Episodes in "The Firsts (Sahaba Stories) | The Forerunners of Islam" -
