Ruqayah was surprised why a girl from Al Firuz tribe would be staying with us.
She had heard that the tribe was known for their fierce warriors and wondered what Busayna was doing in their home. However, she didn't want to offend the guest and continued to ask her warmly " So what happened with you ya Busayna to bring you here?" So Busayna explained that she had come to seek refuge from a dangerous situation in her own tribe. She told them how the chief Huzaifa killed her whole with false accusation of betrayal on her father who used to be the most loyal to their tribe and he wanted to kill Busayna as wel but she ran away and met sheikh Ali and his men in her way who helped her to survive and she was very grateful to Sheikh Ali.
Ruqayah listened attentively, feeling a sense of compassion for the young girl and thinking ho can someone like Huzaifa act foolishly and with cruelty to her family. She knew that it was important to offer hospitality and protection to those in need, regardless of their background or tribe.
Then Busayna noticed Ali's grandmother Maryam who was in her late 50s approached slowly at her and sat next to her. then Patted her head with kindness with a sad smile on her face then she said " Whatever happened with your family was wrong, was very wrong, but Allah is always with the right ones, He ids the most merciful, so turn to Allah for supplication, he will ease your pain In Sha Allah, have sabr ( patience), you will stay here until we find a solution for your situation" Ruqayah nodded in agreement with her mother in law's words of comfort. Busayna knew that relying on Allah's mercy and having patience were key to overcoming any hardship.
Amira, who appeared to be the same age as Busayna, was a very attractive young woman, and her mother Ruqayah, who was in her early 40s, had a few wrinkles on her face but still looked lovely and always kept a kind smile on her face.
Busayna was grateful for their kind gesture towards her, who was a complete stranger to them. Busayna felt at ease in this strange environment. Being surrounded by such kindhearted individuals brought her relief because she had been through so much in the previous few days.
She glanced around the space and saw Amira's brother sitting calmly in the corner. He had a severe face, and she wondered what he was thinking and if he didn't want her here at their home. She stared at her hands. Busyana was politely questioned by Amira, "Do you want something to drink?"
Busayna shook her and politely said " No, Jazakallah."
Maryam hold her hands and looked at Amira and said " Ya Amira, shy must be thirsty bring water for her" Amira Nodded and left the room.
Everyone present observed the front door open as Sheikh Ali entered his house. He briefly glanced at Busayna before turning to face his family and said, "Assalamu alaikum, ya ummi (Mother) wa ya Jadti (Grandma), how have you all been?" He then approached his mother and grandmother and kissed them on the forehead.
Busayna watched as Sheikh Ali greeted his family with warmth and affection. She couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the way he treated his loved ones. It was clear that family was important to him, and she found that to be a rare quality in the world they lived in.
As Sheikh Ali turned to her, Busayna felt a flutter in her chest. But he didnt say anything his eyes didnt show any emotions, his mother and grandmother greeted him back with a broad smile on their face and Maryam replied, " Ya Ali my bravest grandson, we have been well by the grace of Allah, and I must say Im very proud of you that you made such a great decision by bringing this poor orphan here or else she would be dead like her family." Ali smiled at his grandma and said " Im happy to hear that ya jadti that you approved of my decision."
He looked at his mother and he saw his mother smiling at him.
