NABI ISA ALAYHIS SALAAM ANDTHE PIOUS LADY

Once, a pious woman lit the fire to heat some bread. After igniting the fire, it was time for Namaaz. She left the fire and engaged in Namaaz. After completing her Namaaz she saw her baby playing happily in the fire. She quickly retrieved him from the fire and narrated the episode to her husband. Her husband went and narrated it to Nabi Isaa (Alayhis salaam). He instructed the man to bring his wife. When the woman came, Nabi Isaa (Alayhis salaam) asked: “What do you do so pleasing to Allah Ta‟ala Who has granted you this status that the fire became cool for your baby?”

The woman said: “Allah is Aalimul Ghaib (The Knower of the Unseen). I am not aware of anything except four things: I am grateful for the bounties He bestows to us. I patiently bear the calamities He afflicts us with. I am pleased with whatever He is pleased. I give preference to the deeds of the Hereafter over the deeds of this world even if I should lose the worldly benefit.” 

On hearing this, Nabi Isaa (Alayhis salaam) said: “This is the reason for the protection. If she had been a male, she would have been the recipient of Wahi.”
