The story of the hairdresser of the daughter of Pharaoh :) It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (r.a) said: The Messenger of ALLAH (Peace Be Upon Him) said: “On the night on which I was taken on the Night Journey (Isra’), a beautiful fragrance came to me. I said: O Jibreel, what is this beautiful fragrance? He said: This is the fragrance of the hairdresser of Pharaoh’s daughter and her children. I said: What is their story? He said: Whilst she was combing the hair of Pharaoh’s daughter one day, the iron comb fell from her hand and she said, ‘Bismillaah (in the name of ALLAH).’ The daughter of Pharaoh said: ‘My father?’ She said: ‘No. My Lord and your Lord and the Lord of your father is ALLAH.’ She said: ‘I will tell him about this.’ She said: ‘Yes.’ So she told him and he summoned her and said: ‘O So and so, do you have a Lord other than me?’ She said: ‘Yes, my Lord and your Lord is ALLAH.’ They began to punish her and ask her again “Who is your Lord?“ and she would continue to say “ALLAH is my Lord”. He ordered that a baqarah (lit. “cow”) made of copper be heated up, then he ordered that they brought all her children. So he told her to worship him and she said “NEVER” so he ordered her first child to be thrown into the hot boiling oil…and than the second child and the third and than the fourth child but she was strong and full of faith… and finally the last child who was still breast feeding, she was about to pull back when suddenly ALLAH (SWT) made her infant speak, “Be patience my mother.. This is the truth and ALLAH will grant us Junnah., for the punishment of this world is easier to bear than the punishment of the hereafter.” So she went ahead. and she knew she was going to be next….. She said to Pharaoh: ‘I have a request to make of you.’ He said: ‘What is your request?’ She said: ‘I would like my bones and my children’s bones to be gathered together in one cloth and buried, because I want to be resurrected with my children …. He said: ‘This will be done for you.’ Narrated by Imam Ahmad in al-Musnad (1/309), al-Tabaraani (12280), Ibn Hibbaan (2903) and al-Haakim (2/496).
