Sarah: Difference between revisions

After the king received the report about Sarah's beauty, Ibrahim (a) was asked about Sarah's relation with him. He (a) knew that if he (a) told the king that she was his wife, the king would kill him and take Sarah, so he (a) said that she was his sister, as she was his sister in religion. So, the king ordered to make her up and send to him. It is mentioned in historical reports that Ibrahim (a) began praying and asked God for help after he (a) sent Sarah to the king. When the king of Egypt wanted to approach Sarah, his hand became numb and told Sarah to ask God to heal his hand and promised not to harm her. So, Sarah prayed and the king's hand was healed; but, he broke his promise and approached her and again his hand became numb and once then promised not to touch her if he was healed. The same happened three times. The king learned that Sarah was not a normal woman and that he could not take pleasure from her; thus, he gave a bondwoman to Sarah called [[Hajar]] (Hagar) in addition to some other gifts.
