Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi was very beautiful. The commentators write that her beauty was such that Arab women used to stand behind the doors and secretly see Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi. But at that time you did not become a Muslim. One day, Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him), the crown prince of Madinah, saw Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi. You saw the face of Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi that he is such a beautiful young man. You prayed to Allah Almighty at night O Allah! Make such a beautiful young man, put the love of Islam in his heart, make him a Muslim, save such a beautiful young man from hell. At night he prayed, in the morning Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi came to the service of the Holy Prophet.
Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi (RA) said: O Messenger of Allah! Please tell, whats the story of them big puppys ….. He said: I am the messenger of Allah and Allah is One, there is no partner for Him. Then he told Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi about Tawheed and Prophethood. Hazrat Dahiya said: I may become a Muslim but I am always afraid of one thing. One sin I have committed is that your God will never forgive me. He said: Tell me, O Dahiya, what sin have you committed? Then Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi said: O Messenger of Allah! I am the head of my tribe and our daughters are buried alive at birth. Since I am the chief of the tribe, I have buried the daughters of seventy houses alive. Your Lord will never forgive me. At that time, Hazrat Jibril Amin (peace be upon him) came and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Allah greets him and says that he should never commit such a sin after what has happened so far. We forgive.
Hazrat Dahiya heard this from your tongue and started crying. He said: What has happened to Dahiya now? Why are you crying Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi said: O Messenger of Allah! I have another sin that your Lord will never forgive. He said: What is the sin of Dahiya? Tell me
Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi began to say: O Messenger of Allah! My wife was pregnant and I had to move to another country for some work. As I was leaving, I told my wife to raise him if he had a son, and to bury him alive if he had a daughter. Dahiya is crying and telling the story. When I returned home after a long time, I knocked on the door. A little girl opened the door and asked who? I said: Who are you? So she said; I am the daughter of the owner of this house. who are you? Dahiya began to say: O Messenger of Allah! Out of my mouth: If you are the daughter of the owner of this house, then I am the owner of this house. O Messenger of Allah! It was too late for this word to come out of my mouth that this little girl grabbed me by my legs and started saying: Baba Baba Baba Baba where did you go? Baba, how long have I been waiting for you? Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi is weeping and says: O Prophet of Allah! I pushed my daughter and asked her: Who is this girl? The wife started crying and said; دحیہ! This is your daughter O Messenger of Allah! I have no regrets. I thought I was the chief of the tribe, if he did not bury his daughter, people would say he kept burying our daughters and loved his daughter. Tears welled up in Dahiya’s eyes. Or Rasoolullah that girl was very beautiful, very beautiful. My heart was trying to hold it to my chest. Then he thought that if people don’t say things later that it was his daughter’s turn then why didn’t he bury her alive? I got my daughter out of the house and she grabbed my feet. Don’t kill her, Dahiya, this is your daughter.
The mother is the mother after all. I pushed my wife back and walked away with the baby. On the way my daughter said: Baba are you taking me to grandma’s house? Dad, are you going to give me toys? Dad, where are we going? Dahiya Kalbi cries and narrates the incident. O Messenger of Allah! I didn’t even answer the girl’s questions. She is asking: Where did Baba go? Sometimes she kisses my face, sometimes she wraps her arms around my neck. But I don’t say anything. I went to a place and sat him down and started digging his grave myself. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is hearing the incident from the tongue of Dahiya and is weeping. My daughter got up and came to me when she saw my father working hard in the sun. She takes off the small dupatta around her neck and wipes the sand from my face and says: Why is Baba working in the sun? Come to the shadows. Why is Baba digging this place? Baba, it is hot, come in the shade, and at the same time my sweat and dirt was clearing, but I did not feel sorry. When the grave was finally dug, my daughter came to me. I pushed. She fell into the grave and I started throwing sand. Crying in the sand, the girl folded her little hands in front of me and said: Baba, I don’t take toys, Baba doesn’t go to Nani’s house, Baba doesn’t like my shape, so I never come in front of you. Dad, don’t hit me like that. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace! I poured sand and I did not feel sorry for him. When the dust on my daughter was full and her head was left, my daughter turned her attention away from me and spoke. O my lord, I have heard that a prophet will come to you who will honor the daughters, who will save the honor of the daughters. O Allah! The daughters of those prophets are dying. Then I buried him in the sand. Hazrat Dahiya Kalbi (RA) wept profusely while narrating the incident. When he narrated this incident, he saw that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was crying so much that his beard got wet with blessed tears. He said: Tell me the story of your daughter again. The story of the daughter who died while I was waiting for Muhammad. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) heard this incident three times and wept so much that the Companions, seeing him, began to weep and said: O Dahiya, why does our master weep? We can’t stand it. When he heard the incident from Hazrat Dahiya three times, Hazrat Dahiya was in tears. At that time Gabriel (peace be upon him) came and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Allah greets you and says: O Beloved! Tell Dahiya that he was when he did not believe in Allah and you. Now he has accepted me and you, so we have forgiven this sin of Dahiya too.
