Within the limits of year 12 of the noble prophetic immigration, and while Saif Allah Khalid bin Al-Walid - may God be pleased with him - was a launcher in the conquests of Iraq as an effective arrow, hardly anyone stopped him, and during his incursion into the southern Iraqi regions near Kufa, and in an area called "Ain Al-Tamr" , Khalid managed to defeat the Persians and the Arabs allied with them, and eventually besieged the fortress of the region, to surrender those in it, and captivate a large number of boys reached forty at the time, to be taken to Medina later.
In the Prophet’s city, Caliph Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, decided as usual to distribute the spoils and loyalties to the common Muslims, so it was from the share of Anas bin Malik Al-Ansari - may God be pleased with him - the famous servant of the Prophet, and his well-known speaker, a boy from Ain Al-Tamr named Sirin, the days passed, and Anas decided that he would release Sirin for the sake of God, and marry him to a girl named Safiya, whom Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq - may God be pleased with him - had freed her as well.
And Sirin descriptive arose on piety, worship and devotion, in the midst of this environment that gathered the great companions in the city of the Prophet before deciding to go out and leave and settle in the city of Basra in southern Iraq, to produce a number of sons and daughters in the first half of the first century AH, a number of celebrities came out of them The greatness in the sciences of the Prophet’s Hadith, interpretation, jurisprudence, interpretation of visions, readings, etc., was led by their most famous son, Muhammad bin Sirin, but Muhammad had a sister who was no less knowledgeable, asceticized, pious and famous in and around Basra and around it, that woman was Hafsah, who died a thousand and three hundred Forty years and still mentioned in the literature of history and heritage. Who is Hafsa Bint Sirin? How did it arise and arise? What was she famous for? Who are the most famous professors and students? This is what we will see in our next lines.
In the middle of this good house, Hafsa was the daughter of Sirin "the oldest son of Sirin of men and women from the son of Safiya, and the son of (children) of Safiya was: Muhammad, Yahya, Hafsa, Karima and Umm Salim"; She tells about her mother and the mother of her famous follower brother, Mohammed bin Sirin, some of the atmosphere of this pleasant environment, saying: "Muhammad's mother was a Hijaz woman, and he liked the dye, and if Muhammad bought her a dress, he would buy what he finds that he does not look at his survival. If every day is a holiday he dyed it for her." Her clothes, she said: I never saw him raise his voice on her, and if he spoke to her he spoke to her like listening to something with her, and in another narration, and if he spoke to her (i.e. his mother) as if he was sick, and if he saw a man he did not know, he said: What is this with him? He will say: So will he be with his mother. "
In the midst of this environment Hafsa grew up and grew up, and she grew up to love and receive knowledge, especially from the generation of the Companions, some of whom were still alive, so it was at the head of those who received Hafsa the knowledge about them the great companion Anas bin Malik - may God be pleased with him - and he is their master Her father was freed, so Sirin came in his passengers to Basra, attached to him, and loved him in it, and Hafsa also received knowledge and prophetic talk about Al-Sahabiyah or Atiyah Al-Ansari, and she is one of the leading female companions who witnessed the facts and battles with the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - because she was going out for medical and nursing in These invasions were what Hafsa bint Sirin narrated from Umm Atiyah that she said: “I invaded with the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, seven invasions. I used to make their food for them, leave them in their journeys, heal the wounded, and resurrect the sick.”
She also narrated a number of other hadiths about her. On the authority of Hafsah Bint Sirin on the authority of Umm Atiyah Al Ansari, she said: “He (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) took us upon us in pledge of allegiance or at the pledge of allegiance that we do not depart.” Also, she narrated from Umm Attiyah the scene of washing the Lady Zainab the Great, daughter of the Prophet. - After her death, Hafsah Bint Sirin said: “Umm Atiyah told me, she said: One of the daughters of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, died, so the Messenger of God commanded us, so he said: Wash her a string of three or five or more of that if you see us, and wash her with water and a seder And make a camphor in the hereafter or something of camphor, so if you become empty then let me know. "
It was narrated from the companion Salman bin Amer al-Dabi who also inhabited Basra. She said: Salman bin Amer said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “For one of you to break the dates, if he does not find it, then the water is purified.” Because of her sincerity and high morals, two of the companions of the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - who lived in Basra visited her in her husband's house for peace and reassurance about her, namely Anas bin Malik and Abu Al-Alia as Ibn al-Jawzi narrated in “Al-Muntazem”. Rather, Al-Hafiz, the interpreter and the famous historian Ibn Many say in his history "The Beginning and the End" that Hafsah Bint Sirin was one of the most famous pupils of Mrs. Aisha, the mother of the believers - may God be pleased with her - the skillful and knowledgeable wizards, he says: "There were no women in her knowledge more than her pupils: Umrah bint Abdul Rahman, Hafsa bint Sirin, and Aisha Bint Talha. "
Hafsa of knowledge reached a high position that made her symmetry with the scholars and followers with confidence and knowledge. It was narrated that Muraqi ibn al-Mashmaraj al-Ajli was a knowledge of the hadith of the Prophet, confidence, famous for his literature and his dream, he used to study and study in the presence of her husband, Hafsa says: We visited him one day and greeted him, and I asked him, then he asked me and asked him. The scholar Al-Hafiz Al-Thahabi described it in his book "Al-Kashef" as "pious", which means that it excelled in the science of hadith and jurisprudence. This confirms that her famous brother, the modern interpreter of dreams (Muhammad ibn Sirin), who was one of the great scholars and followers, was "If something of the Noble Qur’an was formed upon him, he says: Go and ask Hafsah how to read."
Because of this high position that I gained from growing up in a large house of knowledge and literature, and learning it by a group of senior companions and followers, we see it from the layers of "trustworthiness" in the literature of wound and modification, and "trust" in the eyes of modern scholars is the person who combined justice, ethics and piety In religion, between discipline, the authenticity of the narration, and not lying, forgetting, or deceitful, Abu al-Hasan al-Ajli al-Kufi (d. 261 AH) says in his book “The History of Confidence”: “Hafsa bint Sirin or al-Hudhayel: visual, confidence, dependency, heard or Atiyah (Al-Ansari Al-Sahabi) ).
The truth is that the house of the Sirin had a number of senior followers, speakers, and trustworthy scholars, all of whom are brothers and sisters, until we found scholars saying in the right of this house full of: “Muhammad bin Sirin, Yahya bin Sirin, the temple of bin Sirin, Anas bin Sirin, Hafsa bint Sirin, These brothers are all trustworthy, "as the Hadith and Hafiz Abdul Rahman bin Yusef bin Kharash Al-Marwazi Al-Baghdadi mentioned.
Hafsah made sure to teach her sons, her pupils, and her students the sciences of the noble hadith, jurisprudence, morals, etiquette, and so on. Headed by their most famous son, Hudhayil bin Abdul-Rahman Al-Basri, whose history books and biographies that dealt with his biography are not read and only linked to his mother Hafsah, but some of them translated it as follows: Hadhil bin Abdul Rahman bin Hafsah bint Sirin, for the well-known and pious mother of Zahid’s scholar. Hudhayl was one of the most righteous people in his mother Hafsa, until she said in it: "He reached from the righteousness of my son Al-Hudhail that he was breaking reeds (woven) in the summer, and he lit me in the winter."
The follower Aisha bint Saad al-Sa`dia al-Basiyah also took it from her, and she was trustworthy from the people of Basra. And Iyas bin Muawiya al-Muzni was the judge of Basra, and one of the famous generation of followers at the end of the first century AH, from among her disciples, Hafsa was the daughter of Sirin, his favorite professor, never preferred over anyone else, nor even her brother Muhammad bin Sirin, nor Al-Hassan Al-Basri, although they were more One of the most famous of them, Iyas says: “I did not realize that I would prefer him over Hafsa, so he was told: Al-Hasan (Al-Basri) and Ibn Sirin (Muhammad)?” He said: As for me, I do not prefer anyone over her. He said: I read the Qur’an, which is twelve years old, and she died as a daughter. Seventy years. "
Hafsa was not merely a transmitter scholar of the Prophet’s hadith about the generation of companions whom she met and was taken away from them, but she was nonetheless famous for the devotion, recitation of the Qur’an, and the closeness of God Almighty to the supernatural and obedience, says Abu Abdul Rahman Al-Salami (d. 416 AH) in his book “Layers of Sufism”: Hafsah bint Sirin, the sister of Muhammad bin Sirin from the worshipers of Basra, and she was like her brother Muhammad bin Sirin in asceticism and piety, and she was the owner of verses and dignities ... Hafsa bint Sirin saddled her lamp from the night and then rose up and prayed in her prayer hall, maybe the lamp was extinguished, and the house was lit up until it became.
Ibn al-Jawzi (d. 597 AH), in his "regular" history, states that Hafsa had "read the Qur’an when she was a twelve-year-old girl, and she finished every two days, fasting forever (most of the year), and standing up for the night", and separates the tribe of Ibn al-Jawzi (d. 654 AH) in Its history, “Mirror of Time,” its concomitant act of worship and obedience, saying: “She stayed in her prayers for thirty years, leaving only for a need. She used to complete the Qur’an every day and night, fasting forever, breaking the two days and the days of Tashreeq.”
Hafsa had bought a maid to help her in the service of the house, so some people asked this maid about her lady Hafsa how she is, and she said: “Good; except that she has sinned a great sin because it is all night crying and praying.” The maid thought that Hafsa’s crying and her constant accompaniment to worship are due to A great sin I sinned, and the girl who did not realize that he was the love of her lady near God Almighty.
Because of these ethics, piety and science, many scholars and historians have praised them, such as Al-Hafiz and the Golden Historian (d. 748 AH) in some of his books, who say: "It was unparalleled in women at the time, a virtuous, virtuous, and large amount, who died after the hundred [of immigration]." Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani states in his book “Refining Discipline” that she died in 101 years of immigration at the age of ninety years.
Hafsa remained, even in the stage of old age and impotence, preserving her manners and morals, and she did not license her on the pretext that she had become one of the rules of the people who had reached the age of old. Of the women} verse. And she says: {And that it is good for them to curl up} by wearing robes. ”
Hafsa's last wish was to die on the testimony, and the great companion Anas bin Malik - may God be pleased with him - asked her: "What do you like to die? I said: With plague, it is a testimony for every Muslim." She also had "an infectious shroud; if she made Hajj and entered ihraam, put it on, and if the last ten days of Ramadan put it on, then she stayed at night."
At the age of seventy and ninety was said - which is the most famous - Hafsa received her Lord, and in her funeral senior followers such as Al-Hassan Al-Basri and Muhammad bin Sirin and other senior men of Islam in Basra were graduated at the time, after a life full of knowledge, worship and piety, and to prove to Hafsa bint Sirin that the early history of Islam The women in it had a remarkable contribution to science, ethics and ethics, and the formation of generations of leading scholars, jurists and followers.
