A famous story is that of the girl who refused to listen to her mother’s instructions to mix milk with water which they were planning to sell. The girl reminded her mother that the Caliph Umar bin al-Khattab instructed that no milk should be tampered with. Her mother replied that Umar was not around and no one would know. The girl said, “But Allah can see us”. Unknown to both girl and mother, the Caliph Umar heard the entire conversation. Umar was so impressed by the girl’s answer that he decided to marry her to one of his sons. The barakah of the girl’s piety led to a prosperous marriage that elevated her position in society. Further, she gave birth to another great man, sometimes known as the fifth guided caliph: Umar bin Abdul-Aziz.
