1 1 The Grave of Aamenah bentu Wahb آمنة بنت وهب The mother of Prophet Muhammad Sallaa Allaah Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam Bay Dr. Hassan Sheikh Hussein Osman, DVM

2 2 بسم هللا الرحمن الرحيم \ Sallaa Allaahu Alayhaa األبواء Abwaa\ Wa Sallam in Al أمنة بنت وهب The Tomb of Al Sayyedah Aamenah bentu Wahb The Town of Al األبواءAbwaa is equidistant from Makkah Al Mukarramah\ مكة المكرمة and Al Madinah Al Munawwarah\ المنورة :المدينة two hundred kilometers each way. You to take the Old Hjrah Road \ طريق الهجرة القديم connecting the two Haram\.الحرمين If you are coming from the direction of Makkah\,مكة when you had covered that distance you will see a board indicating the town of Al :األبواءAbwaa turn right to that sign and drive for about twenty kilometers. Then you will see few small houses of red bricks on your right hand side and a masjed, all built by a charity organization. Opposite these houses and on the other side of the street and on your left hand side you will see a chain of very small mountains. Turn left and drive as long as you can: you cover the distance of four or five mountains. Be careful because the terrain is soft and you do not want to get stuck in the sand. Have a 4 wheeldrive car if you would. Park there and go on foot. After four or five mountain you climb a mountain: it takes you maybe about ten to fifteen minutes to do so. All mountain tops are black, the stones and the dirt, except the mountain top where the tomb of Sayyedah Aamenah bentu Wahb \ أمنة بنت وهب Sallaa Allaahu Alayhaa Wa Sallam is located. The tomb is located on the top of this mountain: this mountain top is clear and the stones and the dirt are whitish-gray: no trees and no other sign of anything else. The grave was levelled to the ground only recently, but you will recognize it by this description. I had to climb and come down three or four mountains before getting on top of the right one. The grave is on top of the mountain located after the tallest mountain of them all. You will find also a thin trail going up this mountain. The mountain top is about ten or so meters wide. The pictures below shows you how the grave looks like. It took me about twenty minutes - half an hour to find the tomb, read Quraan for Aamenah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhaa Wa Sallam, thank her for giving birth and raising our Prophet بنت وهب \ Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam and make du aa for her. May Allaah accept my du aa for her. I wish you an excellent ziyaarah. Today the name of this town is Khuraybah\ خريبة because floods from the rain coming down these and other mountains damaged the area. In fact this valley is where two major Wadi s come together. Because of these floods the men of the caravan of Aamenah bentu Wahb منة بنت وهب أ Sallaa Allaahu Alayhaa Wa Sallam buried her on top of a mountain to protect her body. أمنة

3 3 Abdu Allaahe ben Abdu Al Muttaleb Al Haashemeyye and Aamenah bentu Wahb Sallaa Allaahu Calyhemaa Wa Sallam \ عبد هللا بن عبد المطلب الهاشمي وآمنة بنت وهب الزهرية are أهل البيت/ Baytka prominent members of Ahlu Al Al Imaamu Al Shaafe ee األمام الشافعي/ shaaficii and others as well reported that Ahlu Al Bayte and their بنوالمطلب Muttaleb\ and Banoo Al بنوهاشم Haashem\ is made of Banuu أهل البيت/ offspring the Ashraafs - and the wives of the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam and other members of his household as Zayd ben Haarethah\ بن حارثة,زيد Ummu Ayman Barakah\ أيمن بركة,أم among many others.

Ummu Ayman أم أيمن is my mother after my mother (she raised him Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Sallam after his mother passed away Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam),

O mother. Ummu Ayman Barakah \ أم أيمن بركة was a slave woman that the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam had inherited from his father Abdu Allaahe ben Abdu Al Muttaleb\ عبد هللا بن عبد المطلب and freed her. She married Zayd ben Haarethah\ زيد بن حارثة and is the mother of Usaamah ben Zayd ben Haarethah\ بن زيد بن حارثة,أسامة may Allaah have mercy on all of them. أهل بيتيBayt is a remaining member of his Ahly Al أم أيمن بركة If Ummu Ayman Barakah means that his father, mother and others who had passed away are also members of his Ahlu Al. أهل البيت \ Bayt.وهللا أعلم Aclamu\ Wa Allaahu Al Sayuutee \ السيوطي reports from Al Tabraanee\ الطبراني that ibnu Umar\ إبن عمر may Allaah be pleased with all of them said that the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: Awwalu man ashfa u lahu men ummatee, Ahlu Baytee.

5 5 Al Sayuutee\ السيوطي reports from Al Daylamii\ الديلمي that Alee\ علي may Allaah be pleased with him said:. Same tu Rasuula Allaahu Sallaa Allaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam yaqoolu: Awwalu man yaredu alayya al hawda Ahlu Baytee. The Hadeeth means: "سمعت رسول هللا ىلى هللا عليه وسلم يقول "أول من يرد علي الحوض أهل بيتي." I heard the Messenger of Allaah Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam saying: أهل بيتي are the members of my Family\Houshold الحوض Hawd\ The first ones to come to my Al Zarqaanii\ الزرقاني reported that Tammaam\ تمام in his book Al Fawaa-edu\ الفوائد by a weak chain of transmission reported from ibnu Umar\ إبن عمر that the Prophet Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam said: ethaa kaana yawma al qeyaamate shafa tu le abee wa ummee The Hadeeth means: "إذا كان يوم القيامة شفعت ألبي وأمي." On the Day of Judgement I will make intercession/shafaa ah\ شفاعة for my father and mother. Prophet Muhammad Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam does not make intercession for the Unbeleievers\Kaafer\ كفار that are of the people of Hellfire. Therefore Abdu Allaahe ben Abdu Al Muttalib and Aamenah bentu Wahb Sallaa Allaahu Alayhemaa Wa Sallam/ عبد هللا بن عبد المطلب وآمنة بنت وهب ىلى هللا عليهما وسلم are in the highest and best spot of the paradise, which is called Al الوسيلة/ Waseelatu the highest spot of Al Ferdawsa\ الفردوس together with their son Prophet Muhammad Sallaa Allaahu Alayhe Wa Alaa Aalehe Wa Sallam inshaa a Allaahu\ شاء هللا تعالى.إن The roof of Al Waseelah\ الوسيلة is the Throne of Allaah Most Gracious and Most High and who resides there can hear the sound of the.اللوح المحفوظMahfooth PEN writing, copying from Al Lawh Al
