The question of Umm al-Mu'mineen Umm Salamah رضي الله عنها to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Allaah نعالى says:
{Verily, the Muslims (those who submit to Allaah in Islaam) men and women, the believers men and women (who believe in Islaamic Monotheism), the men and the women who are obedient (to Allaah), the men and women who are truthful (in their speech and deeds), the men and the women who are patient (in performing all the duties which Allaah has ordered and in abstaining from all that Allaah has forbidden), the men and the women who are humble (before their Lord – Allaah), the men and the women who give Sadaqaat (i.e. Zakaat and alms), the men and the women who observe Saum (fast) (the obligatory fasting during the month of Ramadaan, and the optional Nawaafil fasting), the men and the women who guard their chastity (from illegal sexual acts) and the men and the women who remember Allaah much with their hearts and tongues – Allaah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward (i.e. Paradise).}
[Surah al-Ahzaab (33):35]
Al-Haafidh Ibn Katheer reported the following Hadeeth in the Tagseer of the above ayah:
Imaam Ahmad recorded that Umm Salamah رضي الله عنها, the wife of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, said: “I said to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم: Why is it, that we are not mentioned in the Qur’aan as (often as the) men are?’ Then one day without my realizing it, he صلى الله عليه وسلم was calling from the Minbar and I was combing my hair, so I tied my hair back and went to the outer chamber of my house, and I started listening, and he صلى الله عليه وسلم was saying from the Minbar:
«يَاأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ:
“O People! Verily Allaah says:
﴿إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ﴾»
{Verily, the Muslims: men and women, the believers: men and women...}”
to the end of the Aayah.”
[Musnad Imaam Ahmad (26575, 26603, 26604) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh Shuaib al-Arnaoot. A similar narration is also reported by Tirmidhee (3211) and graded as "Saheeh" by Shaikh al-Albaanee]
It is sufficient for our Muslim sisters to suffice with what sufficed the Sahaabiyaat (the female Companions) رضوان الله عليهن اجمعين, and trust in Allaah that He تعالى is going to give them {a great reward}, which no eyes have seen, no ears have heard, and never perceived by any human heart.
