Did he marry Khadija for her money?

Text of the doubt: -

One of the malicious people says: ( I ask God’s forgiveness for saying this .)

The Messenger of Islam was greedy. He was 25 years old and married a much older woman for her money. Greed is not satisfied with what he achieves. After eating his wife's money, he claimed prophethood to gain power. Do not be fooled by the fact that he rejected the Quraysh's offer to appoint him over them because he wanted kingship over all the Arabs. The Quraysh were not able to grant him that. And they actually did.

Reply:-

The response to this suspicion has several aspects.

Let us address what the claimant said, point by point . 1. The response to the claim that the Messenger of Islam was greedy:

Our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was never... greedy for money, fame or power...

Our Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was the most ascetic of people in this world, and the least desirous of it. He was content with what he had to offer, content with a life of hardship,

and obeying the words of his Lord, the Almighty: {And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them - the splendor of the life of this world - by which We test them. But the provision of your Lord is better and more lasting.} (Taha: 131)...

even though the world was in his hands, and even though he was the most honored of creation in the sight of God, and if he had willed, He would have made mountains flow with gold and silver for him.

Imam Ibn Kathir mentioned in his interpretation on the authority of Khaithamah that it was said to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace: If you wish, we will give you the treasures of the earth and its keys, which We have not given to any prophet before you, nor will We give to anyone after you, and that will not diminish what you have with God. He said: Collect them for me in the Hereafter .

Then God Almighty revealed regarding that: {Blessed is He who, if He wills, can grant you better than that - gardens beneath which rivers flow - and He will grant you palaces.} (Al-Furqan: 10)

Indeed, he, peace and blessings be upon him, was given the choice between being a prophet king or a messenger slave, so he chose to be a messenger slave. Where did this idiot get the idea that his master and the master of all creation was greedy? Did Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, steal from him or did he hear things that were offensive to his morals from those who lived with him? Or were Paul’s nightmares affecting his mind and nerves? It is stated in ( The Path of Guidance and Right Direction ) on the authority of Dawud bin Al-Hussain, who said : ( So the Messenger of God (:salla-icon:) grew up, and God protected him and shielded him from the filth of ignorance and its faults, because of what He wanted from him of honor and his message until he became the best man of his people in chivalry and the best of them in character..). .................. And we must not forget the dispute that took place between the men of Quraish when they wanted to lift the Black Stone and the situation became critical, and the reins almost slipped, had it not been for Abu Umayyah ibn al-Mughira - who was the oldest of them - who suggested that the first one to enter upon them from the door of Bani Shaiba should judge between them. So they responded to his advice and waited for the savior to appear, and the Chosen One (:salla-icon:) appeared to them, and when they saw him, they said: This is the trustworthy one, we are satisfied with him. This is Muhammad .

Those who lived during his time said that this was the trustworthy man,
and then this lying claimant comes and says that he is greedy. And if we look at his qualities, may God bless him and grant him peace,is there any greed in his qualities :salla-icon:?No, and a thousand times no.

1- The beloved was famous for being honest and trustworthy, and greed cannot possess these two qualities.

2- Muhammad (salla): was famous for his generosity, kindness and altruism, to the point that it is said about him that Muhammad gives as one who does not fear poverty,

and greed cannot be described by these qualities .

3- Does the greedy person prevent himself and his family from zakat and charity money?

4- Is greed the one who receives the spoils of war - and he has a fifth of it - and spends it all and remains with his family, the crescent moon passes over them, then the crescent moon, then the crescent moon, three crescents, and no fire is lit in his house, and he even prevents them from inheriting from him?

What do you think if we take a look at the God of the pretender and what this deceitful God commands them?

Let us see what his book says about the origins of fraud, theft and deception

. Their Lord commands them to use usury
(Deuteronomy 23:19 ) You shall not lend to your brother on interest... To a stranger you may lend on interest, but to your brother you shall not lend on interest, that the Lord your God may bless you in all that you set your hand to in the land which you are entering to possess .
( Deuteronomy 15:1 ) This is the rule of release: Every creditor shall release from what he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not demand it back to his neighbor or his brother, for a release has been proclaimed to the Lord. A stranger you shall demand it back .

O you who pretend to doubt,
your Lord commands you to steal, defraud and cheat
. God said to the children of Israel: When you depart from the land of Pharaoh, you shall not depart empty-handed . Butevery woman shall ask of her neighbor jewels, silver and gold and clothing, and you shall put them on your sons and your daughters, and you shall plunder the Egyptians ( Exodus 3:21 ).

By this, the children of Israel were able to steal the money of the Egyptians. The children of Israel did according to the words of Moses: “ Ask of the Egyptians jewels of silver and jewels of gold and clothing. And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent to them, and they plundered the Egyptians ” ( Exodus, Chapter 12 ).

Don't talk about greed, Christian, and educate your God first 3

Didn’t Quraysh and Khadija discover this greed of your master and the master of mankind so that you, the geniuses of the 21st century, would discover it?
You say that Muhammad was running after Khadija’s money:
Let us ask the one who claims doubt this question:
Who sent to Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and offered him work in money and trade?
Ibn Ishaq answers that by saying:
Ibn Ishaq said:

quote:

Khadija bint Khuwaylid was a wealthy and honorable merchant woman who would hire men with her money
and trade it with them for something she would give them. The Quraysh were a people of merchants. When she heard what she heard about the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace,
about the truthfulness of his speech, the greatness of his trustworthiness, and the nobility of his character, she sent to him and offered him to go with her money to Syria as a merchant,
and she would give him the best of what she used to give to other merchants, along with a slave of hers called Maysarah. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, accepted
it from her, and went with her money and her slave Maysarah went with him until he arrived in Syria.

:The response to the fact that he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) married her for her money.
Here we say: Who went to marry the other?
Who sought out the other?
Who proposed marriage to the other?
Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar mentioned in his book Al-Isabah that Lady Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her) was a woman of honor and beauty among the Quraysh,
and that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went out to trade for Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her) to the market of Busra, and
he made a profit twice what others made. Nafisa, the sister of Ya`la ibn Umayya, said: Khadija sent me to him as a deceiver to propose marriage to her, so
he accepted and married her when he was twenty-five years old. The one who married her to him was her uncle Amr because her father had died in the pre-Islamic era,
and when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) married her, she was a widow of forty years old.

From the above we conclude that: -
Lady Khadija, may God be pleased with her, knew about the Messenger of God’s honesty and virtue, and thus a great emotion arose within Lady Khadija,

and despite the fact that there was no one in Quraysh who could compete with her in honor and lineage , she hesitated whether the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, would accept her, as she was an old woman with children ...
Would “Muhammad” respond to her? And he turned away from the virgins of Mecca and the fresh flowers of Banu Hashim, so she confided her secret to her friend “ Nafisa bint Umayya ” and “Nafisa” went to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and was kindly directed to Lady Khadija, may God be pleased with her, and he had a desire for her, but he did not have what he could marry with, so when she directed him, he proposed to her and the Messenger of God married her...

The reason for his marriage, peace and blessings be upon him, to Lady Khadija was not greed for her money . 5 Did Lady Khadija need this marriage and could not find anyone to marry her other than Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him? And did our noble Messenger not find anyone to marry so that he would deceive Khadija into marrying her? Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar mentioned in his book Al-Isabah:

Every nobleman of Quraish wished to marry her,
but she preferred to marry the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and thus she attained the best of this world and the hereafter.

The question here is why did Lady Khadija refuse to marry a nobleman of Quraish and agree to marry the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace?


Because of the noble qualities and noble morals known about him, may God bless him and grant him peace, he was famous among the Arabs for his honesty, trustworthiness and good morals
and was called the Truthful and Trustworthy because of his constant advice to merchants and urging them to be honest and warning them against cheating and betrayal . This is what Maysarah witnessed during the blessed trade journey and told what he told his mistress Khadija, may God be pleased with her. We return and ask, did the Messenger need this marriage and not find anything else? Did he need honor and lineage? Our noble Prophet is the highest and greatest in lineage, as he is from Banu Hashim, the highest tribe of Quraish in lineage. As for Lady Khadija, she was from the middle of their lineage . Let us see what Abu Talib said when he stood with Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace , to propose to Lady Khadija: He gave the marriage sermon and among what he said in that sermon was:

quote:

And after that , Muhammad is one of those who cannot be compared to any young man from Quraysh except that he outweighs him in honor, nobility, virtue, and intelligence . If he has little money,
then it is a fleeting shadow and a loan that will be returned. He has a desire for Khadija bint Khuwaylid and she has the same desire for him.”
So Amr said: He is the stallion whose nose will not be cut off, so marry her to him.

Why did Amr not say to Abu Talib: (You lied, Abu Talib, he is neither honorable nor noble nor intelligent )?

6.
The response to the fact that he was not satisfied with what he achieved, and after eating his wife’s money, he claimed prophethood in order to gain power .
First: Did Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, eat Khadija’s money?
Was Lady Khadija so naive as to let a young man who was years younger than her eat her money that she worked hard for and made through her trade?
Lady Khadija, may God be pleased with her, earned many times more money at the hands of our beloved Messenger than she earned at the hands of others.
Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar mentioned in his book Al-Isabah, as we mentioned before :
( The Prophet , peace and blessings be upon him, went out to trade for Khadija, may God be pleased with her, to the market of Busra, and
earned twice what others earned ).
Did he eat her money and return to her from his trade without money? Second: Where did Lady Khadija’s money go after her marriage to the Prophet , peace and blessings be upon him? Did Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, build houses and palaces with it? Did he build gardens and orchards with her money? Let us take a quick look at the material level of our noble Prophetand the life of this great man whose nation ruled the East and the West,Khadija’smoney didin his life. bed, may God bless him and grant him peace, was made of leather and stuffed with palm fibers. As for his food, a crescent moon would pass over him, then a crescent moon, then a crescent moon, three crescents. No fire was lit in the houses of the Messenger of God, but the two black ones weredates and water. He might spend a whole day twisting from severe hunger and not finding enough dates -which are bad dates- to fill his stomach. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, never ate his fill of wheat bread for three consecutive days until he died,and most of his bread was barley. It is not reported that he ever ate thin bread. God bless him and grant him peace, never ate from a tray -which is the place on which food is placed- until he died.In fact, his servant Anas, may God be pleasedwith him, mentioned thatthe Prophet,may God bless him and grant him peace,never had lunch or dinner of bread and meat together except when guests came to him.His clothing was not less than what was mentioned above. His companions, may God be pleased with them, testified to his asceticism and lack of affectation in his clothing, although he was able to wear the most expensive clothes.One of the companions described his clothing saying:I came to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, to talk to him about something, and he was sitting, wearing a thick cotton loincloth. Abu Burdah, may God be pleased with him, entered to Aisha, the Mother of the Believers, and she brought out a felted cloak and a thick loincloth, then she said:The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was taken in these two garmentsAnas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, said:I was walking with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he was wearing a Najrani cloak with a thick border.Khadija’s moneythat Muhammad ate, O claimant?In addition to what was mentioned above:

When he died, may God bless him and grant him peace, he did not leave behind a single dirham or dinar, a male or female slave, or anything else except his white mule, his weapons, and land that he had made into charity. Aisha, may God be pleased with her, said: “ The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, died and there was nothing on my shelf that a person with a liver could eat except half a barley in my shelf. I ate from it until it became too much for me.” He,

may God bless him and grant him peace, died and his armor was mortgaged to a Jew in exchange for some barley.

Where is Khadija's money?
Why didn't her children or grandchildren inherit it?
Why didn't it appear to Muhammad?

Lady Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her) spent all her money for Allah, the poor, and to support the Islamic call,
to the extent that during the siege of the Quraysh and their boycott of Banu Hashim, she did not find anything to eat that day .
The siege of the infidels of the Quraysh on the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and his companions reached a great extent.
They were besieged for three lean years. They reached the point of eating tree leaves.
Despite that, they did not give up their principles and did not let down their Prophet (peace be upon him)!! Rather, they stood firm with him until relief came to them from Allah Almighty.

So where was the money that Muhammad ate in this hardship?

Why did he and his wife not eat from it in this ordeal and eat tree leaves?
Why did he tie two stones to his stomach and not one stone from the severity of hunger and did not eat from the money of Lady Khadija that he ate as you claim?
He spent his money and his wife’s money on the Muslims, trying to relieve their suffering.

It is stated in the book Al-Kamil fi Al-Tarikh - 1-604

quote:

The Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family
and grant them peace, spent his money, and Abu Talib spent his money, and Khadija bint Khuwaylid spent her money, and they reached the point of distress and poverty,
and their hardship became so severe that they were forced to eat herbs and tree leaves. Despite this, Abu Talib,
his son Ali, peace be upon him, and his brother Hamza did not put anything in their account other than the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and his family and grant them peace, and his care,
so that no one from Mecca would sneak in at night to assassinate him,
and this thought did not leave Abu Talib night and day.

Why did Muhammad not live in happiness and comfort and endure hardship and suffering with the Muslims?

The malicious person says that the Prophet , may God bless him and grant him peace, claimed prophethood in order to gain power:
We will not talk here about the evidence of the Prophet’s prophethood , may God bless him and grant him peace, because they are many and this is not the place for it,
but:
Does this humble person covet power through the following actions?

1- The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, lived a humble life, with humble wings, as a shepherd of sheep - not camels.

Look and contemplate this noble Prophet when he saw a man approaching, trembling with fear of him, and he said to him: ( Take it easy; I am not a king, I am only the son of a woman from Quraysh who used to eat dried meat ).

Are these the tendencies of a man who wants to assume power and kingship ( peace be upon the Chosen One)? 2- The Chosen One (peace be upon him) grew up in a pagan society that worshipped idols, so she was the goddess of masters and slaves, and she was even a major reason for the revival of trade among the Arabs, as idols were sold and sacrifices were bought to be presented.

It was an important source of livelihood and a significant benefit for them. Is it reasonable and wise for a man to rise up and destroy people’s beliefs, demolish idols, and waste money and benefits for people who he wants to take power over? ( Do you not understand?)

Would anyone expose himself to such risks in pursuit of power?
Would anyone claim prophethood among these infidels who might all kill him in pursuit of power?
Did our noble prophet ever need power?
Doesn't the claimant know who Abdullah ibn Abdul Muttalib is?
Doesn't he know who Abdul Muttalib is?
Who is Abu Talib?
Who is Hamza?
Who are the Banu Hashim?

All this lineage and honor in the Banu Hashim and the noble prophet is looking for a sultan?
So look, O claimant, at the lineage of your god and tell us about his lineage honored by adultery and debauchery . As for the claim of prophethood:What was the fate of every one who claims prophethood?This is Musaylimah the Liar . Let us compare Musaylimah’s positions and sayings with what the Master of Creation brought to us to know how the claimant of prophethood who covets power thinks and how his intentions ooze from between his lips.

When he came to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, before he claimed prophethood, Imam Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated on the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, may God be pleased with them, who said: “Musaylimah the Liar” came during the time of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he began to say: If Muhammad gives me the authority after him, I will follow him.”
After he claimed prophethood, he wrote to the Prophet , may God bless him and grant him peace - as in Musnad Abi Uwanah -: “From Musaylimah, the Messenger of God, to Muhammad, the Messenger of God. As for what follows, I have been made a partner in the authority with you, and we have half the earth and the Quraysh have half the earth, but the Quraysh transgress .”
Since Musaylimah was greedy for power, he exploited the spirit of fanaticism among his people and fanned it so that he would increase his followers. Let us look at him when he addressed the people, saying: “ I want you to tell me how the Quraysh became more deserving of prophethood and imamate than you ?”

By God, they are not more numerous or more powerful than you. Your country is more spacious than theirs, and your wealth is more than their wealth.”

His lie was so obvious that Amr ibn al-Aas, may God be pleased with him , said to him before his conversion to Islam: “By God, you know that I know that you lie .” And one of Musaylimah’s followers, Talha al-Namri , said to him: “I testify that you are a liar and that Muhammad is truthful, but the liar of Rabi’ah is more beloved to us than the truthful one of Mudar.”

Here we see that Musaylima’s intention has become clear through his positions and words. So where is this in comparison to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, whose contemporaries testified to his prophethood and message? This is something that is not hidden from any fair-minded, rational person.

The plaintiff says:
Do not be deceived by the fact that he rejected the Quraysh’s offers to appoint him over them because he wanted a kingdom over all the Arabs.
And the Quraysh were not able to achieve that for him. And that is what he actually achieved .

Which king of the Arabs is greater than the king of Quraysh?
Is there anyone greater and better than the tribe of Quraysh among the Arabs?
Quraysh enjoyed a distinguished position and great awe in the hearts of the Arabs, and several factors contributed to this, the most important of which is
the existence of the Sacred House of Allah, and the Quraysh’s care for it and hospitality to its people, and the story of the death of Abraha : The incident of the elephant had a double effect in increasing the sanctity of the Sacred House among the Arabs throughout the peninsula, and increasing the status of its people and its masters from Quraysh, which helped them to travel the land in safety, wherever they settled. They found dignity and care, and this encouraged them to establish two great trade routes - via caravans - to Yemen in the south, and to the Levant in the north,
and to organize two huge trade trips: one to Yemen in the winter, and the second to the Levant in the summer .
What status is greater than the sovereignty of Quraysh, which is the master of the Arabs? Then what did the people of Medina do when they learned of the Prophet’s arrival to them? In addition to the tribes and groups that came to him as Muslims without meeting him, just because they heard about the great method that he brought. Let us not forget that our Prophet (salla): was given the choice between being a king and a messenger or a slave and a messenger, so he chose to be a slave and not a messenger.

Why didn't he make himself king of the country with the money he ate from Khadija , you pretender? 9 The pretender says: Quote: Because he wants a king over all the Arabs in spite of you, the Prophet ruled the East and the West , and you will not find a place on the face of the earth, large or small, except that there is a believing Muslim in it who sacrifices his soul and blood for his Prophet. This sovereignty that God wanted for His law is for the whole world, not just for the Arabs. Isn't that enough to show the status of the teachings that were sent down to him that subjugated the hearts of the inhabitants of the earth? They believe in a prophet without seeing him, and this is what is happening today. In every Christian family you will find a Muslim who is on the truth and believes in the oneness of God, and this is the reason for their hatred, spite, and raising doubts about the noble Prophet. But no way, you dead ones, Islam is still high and sublime in spite of the pretender. 10 Go, you pretender, and curse your God as he cursed himself ( say to him, "O cursed one ") and do not talk about the most honorable son of Adam.

Galatians 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “ Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree .”
11

Woe and torment to you and your god

In the Book of Jeremiah, Chapter 10:19, the Lord rebukes Himself!!

19 Woe is me because of my contempt, for my wound is incurable. Yet I said, “ Surely this is a disaster, and I must bear it .”
Micah 7:1 Woe is me, for I have become like summer reapers, like the gleanings of vintage, with no clusters to eat, no firstfruits of figs that my soul desires .

12
Except the Messenger of God, O you who lack hearts and insights [IMG][/IMG]

Brother Mutalim added the following to what we have mentioned:


If Christians call every benefit from the money of others “greed” and condemn it, then they should condemn Christ all the more.
Because according to them, women served Christ from their money, as their Gospels stated.
We say “all the more” for several reasons:
First , our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, only benefited from the money of one woman, while Christ in their Gospels benefited from the money of many.
Second , our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, only benefited from the money of his wife, and the husband is the master of the woman and has a known favor over her. As for Christ, he benefited from the money of women who were not his relatives.
Third , our Prophet benefited his wife personally, through his work and blessing in her money. Christ never benefited those non-mahram women personally.
Fourth , the money that our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, benefited from was lawful, as Khadijah’s money, may God be pleased with her, was from lawful trade. As for the money that Christ benefited from, it contained what was known as forbidden, because all or most of those women were prostitutes before their repentance, so the money that they obtained in exchange for prostitution is what they used to serve Christ.
Fifth : Our Prophet did not benefit from the money personally in his food and clothing, this never happened, but rather she (may Allah be pleased with her) served him with her money in calling to Allah, in freeing slaves and the like. And her example in this is Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), he benefited our Prophet with his money, but the benefit intended here is that he freed slaves and the like, it did not benefit our Prophet in his food and clothing.
Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said : “ Abu Bakr’s spending was not for the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) in his food and clothing, for Allah has made His Messenger independent of the wealth of all creation. Rather, it was to help him establish faith. So his spending was for what Allah and His Messenger love, not for the Prophet himself . So he bought the tortured ones like Bilal, ‘Aamir ibn Fuhayrah, Zunayrah and a group .” (Minhaaj as-Sunnah 8/401).
As for Christ, it is apparent from the Gospels that the spending was for his person and his food. The Gospels do not mention that he freed a male or female slave, nor do they mention his helping any believer with money. So all that remains is his benefit from the money in his person, such as food, for example.
Sixth : Our Prophet ate from the work of his hand, whether it was herding sheep, trading, or jihad. As for Christ, it is apparent from the Gospels that since the beginning of his call, he had abandoned the carpentry trade. If benefiting from someone else’s money is an accusation in general, then it is more proven and confirmed in the right of someone who has no profession, who eats from the work of his hand.
Seventh : Our Prophet remembered and thanked the favor. As for her life, may God be pleased with her, he took care of her in the best way. As for after her death, he was never mentioned, may God be pleased with her, except that he thanked her for her actions, and he continued to praise her until his wives became jealous. Rather, he was kind to her after her death in her relatives, cheering them up, making them happy, and giving them . As for Christ, the Gospels did not mention a single word of thanks that he said to one of those women who served him from their money .

So if benefiting from someone else’s money is a doubtful matter, And the accusation is more appropriate for the one who conceals a favor than for the one who is grateful for it. Rather, it is known that the “greedy” person is malicious in soul and does not remember the favor during the life of its owner at all, let alone remember it after his death .
