Hearing the voice of Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, his wife came out of a room. And saw Muhammad ibn al-Qasim.
Muhammad, when did you come?" Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf asked in surprise, how did you recognize him?"
She said while wiping her tears of happiness, how could I forget her?
Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf asked again. When did you see him?" When Zubaydah and I went on Hajj with his maternal uncle. We stayed with them in Medina on our way back. Muhammad had also come on leave from Turkistan.
"And you didn't even mention me?"
"I was urged by his mother and I was also afraid that you might not be offended."
So they still haven't forgiven my mistake.
"He is not angry with you but Qasim's death has a deep impact on his heart. Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf thought something and looked at Muhammad ibn al-Qasim and said, Muhammad, come on, I will go with you. Hajjaj's wife said. no! No!! Don't go there now. but why ?"
"They are sick."
So in that case I must go? Muhammad ibn al-Qasim worriedly said to the moneylender, "Is mother Jan sick?" Allow me
Muhammad ibn al-Qasim ran out of the house.
Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf turned to accompany him, but his wife stepped forward and blocked the way, didn't she? no! You don't go, I will definitely go.
You are afraid that she will say bad things to me and I will get angry. No, their morale is not that low.
Then why do you forbid me to take care of them and how did you know that they are sick?
"I am afraid that you will be surprised. I have been hiding something from you."
What ?"
"Since she came here. I go to his house every third or fourth day.
Yesterday I sent the maid and she told me that her health is very bad. I just came from there. If it were not for your fear, I would have stayed there a little longer.
Today, Zubaydah was with me and seeing her condition, I,,,,,,
Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf consoled and said,
"Why are you afraid?" Say clearly, if you left Zubaydah there, you did nothing wrong.
She will come soon. I have sent the maid.
But why did you hide all this from me?
Did you think that there was no humanity left in me?
"Excuse me!"
"Good! Now you also come with me!
Zubaydah was sitting on the head of Muhammad ibn al-Qasim's mother, pressing her head, and a Syrian slave girl was standing next to her. Muhammad ibn al-Qasim's mother, groaning, took Zubaydah's hand in her hand and placed it on her eyes and said. Daughter! Your hands cool my burning eyes. But I'm afraid if your father finds out, he'll be very upset, and then you might never come here, daughter.
Zubaydah replied with tears in her eyes. I don't want to leave you in this state."
Zubaydah got up and looked outside at someone's cry in the yard. Muhammad ibn al-Qasim put the bridle of his horse in the hands of the Syrian slave and ran forward. Seeing Zubaydah at the door, he bowed and recognized her and said, you here.
How is mom?
Instead of answering, Zubaydah moved aside, as if overwhelmed by his soldier's dress, and Muhammad ibn al-Qasim entered. ..
As soon as she looked at her son, the yellow face of the mother brightened.
He said while sitting, son, have you come?Muhammad ibn al-Qasim asked while taking off near him. Mom! How long have you been sick?
As soon as my son reached Basra, my health deteriorated, but why didn't he write me a letter?
Son you were far away from home and I didn't want to disturb you and it seemed good on your own.
Wear it and show me I want to look good in my young solider dress"
Muhammad smiled and put it on his head. Mother looked at him for some time.
He prayed, "My God!" May this head always be held high. Turning away from Muhammad, he looked at Zubaydah and said, "Daughter!" Why are you standing, sit down! Zubaydah, who was still near the door, hesitantly and shyly moved forward and sat on a chair near the bed. The mother looked at Muhammad ibn al-Qasim. Muhammad! You didn't recognize him?": He replied. I recognized her as soon as I saw her, but Zubaydah, how did you come?
Uncle didn't even know that he said,
"Mother is here?" Mother asked worriedly. Have you come to meet your uncle? .
Yes mom! The title was an essential message. So I went straight to them and they caught me and took me home. They themselves wanted to come to you, but I ran away after hearing about your illness and could not bring them along.
God bless his intention in coming here.
Zubaydah's face was turning yellow. He said getting up from the chair. Aunt ! I'm going" Syrian maids also stood up. But in the meantime, someone's footsteps were heard outside and maid stepped forward and looked towards the courtyard and a small cry came out of his mouth.
Muhammad got up worried and went towards the door. Zubaydah's mother entered and Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf stopped at the door and said to Muhammad ibn al-Qasim. Muhammad! Ask your mother. May I come in?"
Muhammad ibn al-Qasim turned and looked at his mother and said, "Mother, do you want permission to come in?"
The mother covered her head and face and replied, the door cannot be closed for a guest in the house. Call them." Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf entered. Many colors appeared on Zubaydah's face. Her mother placed her hand on her head and said,
"Why are you afraid, daughter?"
Your father himself has come to see your aunt's mood?"
Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf did not spend some time sitting there.Hearing the noise of the people in the street,Muhammad ibn al-Qasim went out and after a while came back smiling and said that all the people of the neighborhood had gathered at our door after seeing you. They were thinking that you have come to kill us.
A painful smile appeared on the face of Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf and he bowed his head.
