Abbah Rejects Al’ameen

Around five-thirty in the evening, they were seated calmly, chatting peacefully and
happily. A plate of food was in front of one of them, and he was eating with joy.

Suddenly, the plate was taken away from him.

When he raised his head, he saw Abbah standing before him, breathing heavily with anger.

The young man came down from the chair and said:

“Abbah, good evening.”

Abbah replied:

“Listen, young man. What kind of person are you? Did I not tell you that I never wanted
to see you in my house again? So now you are even eating food in my house?”

Then he turned and said:

“It is not your fault. I do not even know whose character you inherited, because this is
not my character. Go away from here.”

At that moment, the girl’s face looked as if she had been crying. She entered the house
while looking back.

Only then did the young man get the chance to speak.

“Abbah, please, do not separate me from Nabeelah. I beg you, Abbah.”

Abbah turned away and asked:

“What can you use to take care of her?”

He did not even allow the young man to answer before continuing:

“Or do you want me to sell my goat and later come back to feed you? That will never
happen, wallahi. Look at this beautiful girl, and you have already filled her ears with
your words. Listen carefully: my daughters are children of comfort. I
will not marry any of them into suffering.”

After saying that, he entered the house, still complaining.

The young man stood from where he had been squatting. He looked as if he would cry. Then
he left and went home.

Abbah Blames Nabeelah

When Abbah entered the house, he began shouting.

A woman came out and asked:

“Alhaji, what happened? Who are you arguing with?”

Abbah replied:

“It is this girl. I do not know where she got this stubbornness and hard-headedness from.
I have separated her from that boy, but she refuses to listen. Now they are even giving
him food in my house without my knowledge. And I know you are aware of everything she is
doing.”

The woman looked at Nabeelah and asked:

“Who came to see you?”

Nabeelah answered:

“Mama, it was Al’ameen.”

Abbah said:

“Am I the one responsible for feeding Al’ameen? He is the one who should bring food to
me, since he wants me to become his father-in-law.”

Mama said:

“Haba, Alhaji. Please, try to preserve your dignity before this boy. He is your future
son-in-law, yet you collected his food like that.”

Abbah replied:

“I have known for a long time that you are the one encouraging this girl to follow that
boy. But we shall see. Am I not the one who gives her out in marriage?”

After saying that, he went into his room.

Bauchin Yakubu

In another room, two young women sat on a bed, each holding an iPhone 11 Plus. Both of
them were pressing their phones and smiling. From all appearances, they were chatting
and enjoying themselves.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Quickly, both of them hid their phones and picked up books as if they were studying.

A mature man entered the room with a smile.

Together, they said:

“Daddy, good evening.”

The man widened his smile and said:

“So, twins, you are studying?”

They replied:

“Yes, Daddy. You know our exams are close.”

Daddy said:

“Masha Allah. May Allah help you. Continue reading seriously.”

They answered:

“Okay, Daddy.”

He turned and said:

“Let me go into my room. See you in the morning. Make sure you lock the door before you
sleep.”

They said:

“Okay, Daddy. Bye.”

As soon as he left, they brought out their phones again and continued chatting.

One of them said:

“Haseenah, wallahi, I want marriage, but Daddy does not understand. I do not know what
kind of life he wants us to live.”

The one called Haseenah said:

“I also want marriage because we can combine school with marriage. I do not know how old
Daddy wants us to become. We are already twenty-five years old, and he still says we have
not grown. When then?”

Mama Advises Abbah

In his room, Abbah could not sit peacefully. He kept thinking about how Nabeelah wanted
to destroy the long ambition he had carried for years.

He knew he had no problem with Safna and Husna, but Nabeelah’s matter disturbed him.

He was deep in thought and did not know when Mama entered until she touched him. He
raised his head and looked at her.

Softly, Mama said:

“I came so we can discuss with understanding.”

He took a deep breath, sat properly, and said:

“I am listening.”

She also sat and began speaking:

“Alhaji, at this point, it is better for you to reduce this harsh mindset and allow the
girls to bring the men they want as life partners. Then you can investigate them. If the
person has what Islam requires, then alhamdulillah, we bless the matter. But if they bring
someone unsuitable, we can sit them down, advise them, and give them another chance.”

She continued:

“Al’ameen is educated and respectful. He has good upbringing. If he marries this girl,
even we will be proud in the future.”

Abbah raised his hand to stop her and said:

“I will never send my daughters to a house where they will suffer, only for me to come
back and feed them later. What gain would I have made then?”

Mama breathed out and said:

“Alhaji, wallahi, I fear for you on the day you will regret, at a time when regret will
no longer help. You know the Messenger of Allah said that anyone whom Allah gives three
daughters, and he raises them well until he marries them off, Allah will place him in
Paradise.

“A woman then asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what if they are two?’ And the Messenger of
Allah said, ‘Even if they are two.’

“So there is no gain greater than this.”

Abbah said nothing more. He stood and left, leaving Mama seated.

Abbah Changes His Mind

After Abbah left, Mama remained seated, wondering whether he had accepted her advice.
She began praying silently, asking Allah to help her husband understand the truth before
the day of regret came to him.

When Abbah came out, he saw Safna and her suitor chatting. He adjusted his walking style
and approached them.

He greeted them, and they answered happily. They also greeted him respectfully.

As he was about to pass, the young man brought out money. Without even counting it, he
handed it to Abbah.

Happily, Abbah stretched his hand and collected it, thanking him so much that it almost
looked as if he wanted to sit down for the young man.

As Abbah walked away, he spoke to himself:

“If not that this girl inherited her mother’s character, what business does she have with
that poor boy who cannot even feed himself? I will leave her since she insists. Let her
go and marry him. After all, she is not the only child I have.”

When Safna’s suitor was leaving, he also gave Safna money before they said goodbye.

When Safna entered the house, she hid the money because she knew that if Mama saw it,
Mama would scold her for accepting it. Only Abbah knew, and she usually gave him something
from it.

When Abbah returned inside, he told Nabeelah:

“Tell Al’ameen to send his elders.”

Not only Nabeelah was surprised. Mama was also shocked by Abbah’s statement. Mama began
wondering whether he had truly accepted her advice.

As for Nabeelah, she simply answered:

“Okay.”

Then she stood and went to her room. When she entered, she picked up a phone and called
Al’ameen. After they greeted each other, she said:

“I have good news for you.”

Al’ameen replied:

“A big white kola nut.”

Nabeelah said:

“Abba has agreed that we should marry. He said you should send your elders.”

When Al’ameen heard this, he fell into prostration of gratitude to Allah.

Nabeelah called his name softly:

“My one, you are quiet. Are you not happy?”

Al’ameen said:

“Baby, I am first thanking Allah because He is the One who made everything easy for us.
Truly, I am very happy. May Allah make it good for us.”

Nabeelah replied:

“Ameen, my.”

Al’ameen said:

“Alright, baby. I will go and inform Umma now. You know the Hausa say one catches a
locust early. I will come later. Bye.”

Nabeelah smiled and dropped the phone. She usually used Safna’s phone or Mama’s phone
whenever she wanted to speak with him.
