Jealousy Consumes love

 

Jealousy

 

Qur’anic verses:

 

{And they have therein spouses purified; and they a bid therein (for ever).}

[Al- Baqarah: 25]

 

Prophetic Hadiths:

 

There are two types of jealousy[1] which Allah likes or dislikes. The jealousy which Allah likes is jealously in doubt, otherwise Allah dislikes it.

[Reported by Al-Hakim and Ibn Hibban]

 

One day, the Prophet (pbuh) got up during the night. He went out to visit the cemetery of Baqi .In the morning, he found ‘Aishah suffering from a painful headache, saying "O my head!" The Prophet (pbuh) who himself began to tell unwilling said, "By Allah, it is me who has headache." When she groaned again, he fondled her by saying, "what is wrong if you died before me and then I shrouded you, prayed over your body and buried you? ‘Aishah shouted, out of jealousy, “Did it be the end of other than me. I think you would return to my home after I pass a way to make love with your wives! Accordingly, the Prophet (pbuh) smiled and felt some kind of relief.

[Reported by Al-Hakim]

 

[1] It is better for the spouse not to doubt each other. One would rather let his or her partner keep the thought of Allah. A wife should advocates her husband not accuses him like a police inspector.
