The Sleeping Prince and the Command to Wives
O Ahmad, sit and wait for the time of Asr, and write it down—for doing so will bring peace to your soul. And be patient until they understand your presence.
O Ahmad, Allah Azza waJalla intends to send a severe warning upon your land and even the surroundings of your birthplace, because of the tears of the poor and the worthless deeds (arguing about religion and insulting one another), and because of the people of Sodom, Ad-Daibub, and the legalization of intoxicants (protected by certain individuals). Indeed, no good comes when Allah’s warnings and news are ignored, so He inflicts punishment upon a people until they awaken.
O Ahmad, be patient and say: Indeed, your grandfather Muhammad is the most beautiful and perfect role model. He never responded to his wives’ anger except with a smile and said: "O Umairah, are you the Prophet, or am I Muhammad?" Then, the Noble Muhammad would give in until his wives were content, and he would follow Allah’s guidance—either going to the mosque, seeking solitude, or sitting with his companions.
The Prophet once said to his companions:
A time will come when most women will feel happiness only upon seeing their houses filled with stored wheat and milk, and when they unlock their treasure chests full of gold. Yet, they fail to understand that in Allah’s Paradise, there is everlasting happiness, beauty, and unimaginable delights, and that the levels of Paradise have vast and magnificent gates. However, most women abandon the keys to those gates and instead choose to grasp the keys to the doors of Hell. Truly, if I were to command someone to prostrate before another, I would have commanded wives to prostrate before their husbands. And let women be like Asiyah bint Muzahim.(Hadith)
O Ahmad, most people will be in loss at the end of Ramadan. In your land, there are those who claim to believe in Allah and His Messenger, yet they do not fast without a valid excuse permitted by Allah and His Messenger. Indeed, throughout this year’s Ramadan, Allah will send disasters upon them as a consequence of their own deeds. His wrath will be evident until the very land beneath them moves and opens up, with storms and mountains collapsing. Indeed, they cannot fathom the size and distance of the stones that descend from the sky.
Will they wait until Munkar and Nakir question them to determine whether they were right or wrong? Or will they speak the truth and repent while they stand upon the scales on the Day of Reckoning before Allah?
O Ahmad, they have obstructed the news I sent regarding the Sleeping Prince, preventing it from reaching his parents because they wish to keep him from rising and living. Their blindness is due to their obsession with power and wealth. Let them look again at the message I previously conveyed—indeed, someone close to him will dream of you. This is by the will of Allah Azza waJalla.
O Ahmad, go forth and leave behind the matters that burden your heart. Indeed, you must guard your heart and hold firmly to Allah’s decree for you in this year’s Ramadan.
