The Story of Ummu Hisyam bin Haritsah, the Female Scholar who Memorized the Quran Directly from the Oral Teachings of Prophet Muhammad PBUH

<Ummu Hisyam bin Haritsah, Female Scholar and Companion of Prophet Muhammad SAW>

Ummu Hisyam bin Haritsah is one of the respected female companions of Prophet Muhammad saw who is also a scholar.

It participated in the event of Bai'atur Ridhwan or the event when the Prophet and his companions pledged allegiance under a tree near Mecca. Ummu Hisyam is a woman who is very obedient and obedient to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. In this case, the strong religious education ingrained in her is also inseparable from her father, Haritsah bin Nu'man. Haritsah's obedience was shown when he donated land and a house to the Prophet when his group migrated to Medina. That is the reason why Ummu Hisyam's house is close to the house of the Prophet Muhammad.

Not only Ummu Hisyam, but the Haritsah family also greatly took care of the Prophet Muhammad as stated by the hadith experts. This shows that the Prophet Muhammad was very close to the Haritsah family. In fact, the Prophet Muhammad once dreamt of being in heaven and hearing someone reciting the Quran. Then he asked, "Who is he?" They answered, "He is Haritsah bin Nu'man."

"Memorizing the Quran Directly from the Prophet Muhammad SAW"

Ummu Hisyam is one of the fortunate followers of Prophet Muhammad who directly memorized the holy verses of the Quran from the Prophet's words.

As narrated by Amrah bin Abdurrahman who heard Ummu Hisyam ra said: "I memorized Surah al-Qaf (directly) from the tongue of the Prophet Muhammad SAW every Friday, where he recited it on the pulpit every Friday sermon." (Sahih Muslim, no. 2049) The above hadith shows that during the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, women came to the mosque during Friday prayers. Their arrival was to listen to and memorize Surah Qaf, which consists of 45 verses.

This indirectly has become a fact that women should not always be confined to the house. She is allowed to leave the house to seek knowledge as Ummu Hisyam did.

"Narrating 10 Hadiths"

Besides memorizing the Al-Quran, Ummu Hisyam also narrates 10 hadiths.

Some friends narrated hadith from Ummu Hisyam, for example Muhammad bin Abdurrahman bin As'ad Zuarah, Yahya bin Abdullah, and Hubaib bin Abdurrahman bin Yasaf. Ummu Hisyam has a very high enthusiasm for learning. This is also commanded in Islam because there is a special virtue behind it. As the Prophet Muhammad said: "Those who embark on a journey to seek knowledge, Allah will make it easy for them to enter Paradise. The angels spread their wings as a sign of pleasure for those who seek knowledge."

People who seek knowledge will be asked for forgiveness by the inhabitants of the sky and the inhabitants of the earth, even the fish will also seek forgiveness for them. The virtue of knowledgeable people compared to worshipers is like the virtue of the moon compared to other stars.
