Some people say that you must just go in tablîgh, do not worry about your house, employment, business, etc. Everything is under the control of Allah Ta’ala. Now you tell me, if someone’s wife is sick and she has to relieve herself, is there anyone in the world apart from the husband who can touch the woman’s private part? If such reliance (tawakkul) was permitted whereby a person says that everything is under the control of Allah Ta’alaand you do not have to opt for any means, why did the leader of all the Prophets, Muhammad Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam) order Hazrat ‘Uthmân (radhiallaho anho) in the very midst of the battle of Badr to go to Madînah and tend to his wife who was sick? The battle in which the angels were present, the battle over which the existence of Islam was dependent, the battle which was so blessed that all the Muslims who participated in Badr were given the glad tidings of Paradise, whose participants were so blessed that their names are mentioned as a means when making du‘â, the battle in which the leader of the Prophets was himself present – the reliance of that Prophet (sallellaho alaihe wasallam)was not that everything is under the control of Allah Ta’ala, you may therefore leave your wife and remain here. This, notwithstanding the fact that Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam) could have fallen into prostration and made du‘â by saying: “O Allâh! Cure my daughter.” Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam) upheld the limits of the Sharî‘ah because the definition of “reliance” is:

???????? ??????????? ?????? ?????????????? ???????????????? ????? ?????

In other words, you must opt for the means but do not rely on the means. Your reliance must be on Allah Ta’ala.

Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam) taught this practically despite there being only 313 Sahabah (Radhiallaho anhum) in the battle of Badr. There was a great shortage of mujâhidûn at that time, yet Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam) sent ‘Uthmân (radhiallaho anho) back to Madînah to go and attend to his wife. He will receive the full reward of this blessed battle and he will be included in the list of the participants at Badr. Rasulullah (sallellaho alaihe wasallam) taught us the rights of humanity. Today, the sick mother and father are lying in bed, and the wife is to give birth soon. At such a time, it is essential – according to the Sharî‘ah – for the husband to be present. It is harâm for him to go out at such a time. But here they are breaking the limits of the Sharî‘ah and running for Tablîgh. They say: “Come, come, go out, everything is under the control of Allâh.”
