Hazrat Khadijah, may Allah be pleased with her, was given the glad tidings that she will have a palace made of pearls in paradise, with no noise or household cares to trouble her.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra) related that the angel Jibraa’eel came to the Holy Prophet (sas) and said, ‘Messenger of Allah! Here comes Khadijah (ra) who is bringing a utensil in which there is some food and condiments. When she sees you, give her the salutation of peace from her Lord and salutation of peace from me and give her good news that she will have a house made of shining pearls in paradise, wherein there would be no clamour and no disturbance.’
Hazrat Khadijah (ra), herself, related that one-day she went in search of the Holy Prophet (sas) towards the hills outside the city of Makkah. She was carrying some food for the Holy Prophet (sas). A stranger approached her and asked questions about the Holy Prophet (sas). She became worried and thought that the person might do some harm to the Holy Prophet (sas). Later she related the whole incident to the Holy Prophet (sas). The Holy Prophet (sas) said, ‘The person you met was Jibraa’eel. He had directed me to convey to you salutation of peace from God and the good news that God will bless you with a house, made of pearls, in heaven in which there would be no noise and no cause for fatigue.’
After receiving the message of salutations of peace from Allah, the Almighty and from Hazrat Jibraa’eel through the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sas), Hazrat Khadijah (ra) commented, ‘Allah, Himself, is a Source of Peace. As regards Jibraa’eel, may peace be upon Jibraa’eel and may peace and blessings be upon you O, Prophet.’
Hazrat Khadijah (ra), Mother of the Faithful, may God be pleased with her, is the ideal of womanhood in Islam. She devoted her entire life to the service of God, as did the Holy Prophet (sas). May Allah shower His choicest blessings on both of them. ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعٰلَمِينَ [‘All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds’].
