Ghareeba 0 Posted March 26, 2005 :D OKay, now time to say. I'd like to first thank all the people who participated! i really appreciate those who took a "risk" and weren't sure!! :D :D :D :D WEll, the answer was Moosa alyhee as salam. But good job everybody! :D I know sometimes, you know the story really well, but you forget the name of the prophet, etc. The ayaat are from surat Al Qasas. :D 20. And there came a man, running, from the furthest end of the City. He said: "O Moses! the Chiefs are taking counsel together about thee, to slay thee: so get thee away, for I do give thee sincere advice." He therefore got away therefrom, looking about, in a state of fear. He prayed "O my Lord! save me from people given to wrong-doing Then, when he turned his face towards (the land of) Madyan, he said: "I do hope that my Lord will show me the smooth and straight Path And when he arrived at the watering (place) in Madyan, he found there a group of men watering (their flocks), and besides them he found two women who were keeping back (their flocks). He said: "What is the matter with you?" They said: "We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take back (their flocks): And our father is a very old man." So he watered (their flocks) for them; then he turned back to the shade, and said:"O my Lord! truly am I in (desperate) need of any good that Thou dost send me!" Afterwards one of the (damsels) came (back) to him, walking bashfully. She said: "My father invites thee that he may reward thee for having watered (our flocks) for us." So when he came to him and narrated the story, he said: "Fear thou not: (well) hast thou escaped from unjust people." Said one of the (damsels): "O my (dear) father! engage him on wages: truly the best of men for thee to employ is the (man) who is strong and trusty".... He said: "I intend to wed one of these my daughters to thee, on condition that thou serve me for eight years; but if thou complete ten years, it will be (grace) from thee. But I intend not to place thee under a difficulty: thou wilt find me, indeed, if Allah wills, one of the righteous." He said: "Be that (the agreement) between me and thee: whichever of the two terms I fulfil, let there be no ill-will to me. Be Allah a witness to what we say." :D :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jawharah 2 Posted March 27, 2005 :D The daughters were from the progeny of Shoayb (Alayhis Salaam) right? I heard that...any clarifications? :D Jazakallah khair for the ayaat sis Batoota. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibn_Khaldun 0 Posted March 27, 2005 :D yes I am glad that u mentioned this sister, thats why i said in the first post that wierd question, I was a bit confused, but yes they lived in Madian the area where the Noble prophet Shu'ayb was raised amongst the people as a warner and bringer of good tidings. But then I looked quickly in a tafsiir and couldnt find it being mentioned, inshAllah ill look around more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghareeba 0 Posted March 27, 2005 :D OH MY! :D I'm so sorry, now I understand the confusion.

Jawharah 2 Posted April 22, 2005 :D Err...
