Obedience to the Prophet, come what may

1988 7 July 16 Obedience to the Prophet, come what may: (103) When Mughirah ibn Shuaba told the Prophet that he intended to marry the daughter of a certain person, the Prophet told him to go and see her first. He did as he was bade by the prophet, informing the girl’s parents of his intentions and of the Prophet’s injunction. The girl’s parents were nevertheless reluctant to let their daughter appear before a stranger. The girl, however, who was in the next room, overheard the conversation and said, “If the prophet has given this order, then come and see me. If he has not, I implore you in God’s name not to do so.”
