THE WISHES OF HADHRAT YUSUF BIN ASBAAT

Aishah Bint Sulaimaan (rahmatullah alayha) says that her husband, Hadhrat Yusuf Bin Asbaat (rahmatullah alayh) expressed three wishes. (1)  That he should not own any asset at the time of his Maut. (2)  There should be no debt on him. (3) He should be physically emaciated (skin and bone). All three wishes were fulfilled.

     During his maradhul maut (last illness), Hadhrat Asbaat asked his wife: ‘Do you have any money for your needs?’ She said: ‘I intend to sell our hut.’ He forbade her from this and instructed her to sell their goat. She sold the goat for ten dirhams. Hadhrat Asbaat instructed her to save one dirham for his kafan expenses and keep the nine dirhams for herself.

     His wife said: “When he died, only the one dirham (from the ten) which she had set aside was left.”
