Jumu'ah Live: "The Moses Method For Finding A Mate"

28:24. So he watered (their flocks) for them; then he turned back to the shade and said: "O my Lord! truly am I in (desperate) need of any good that thou dost send me!"...

     25. Afterwards one of the (damsels) came (back) to him walking bashfully. She said: "My father invites thee that he may reward thee for having watered (our flocks) for us." So when he came to him and narrated the story he said: "Fear thou not: (well) hast thou escaped from unjust people."

     26. Said one of the (damsels): "O my (dear) father!  engage him on wages: truly the best of men for thee to employ is the (man) who is strong and trusty"...

     27. He said: "I intended to wed one of these my daughters to thee on condition that thou serve me for eight years; but if thou complete ten years it will be (grace) from thee.  But I intend not to place thee under a difficulty: thou wilt find me indeed if Allah wills one of the righteous."

     28. He said: "Be that (the agreement) between me and thee: whichever of the two terms I fulfil let there be no ill-will to me.  Be Allah a witness to what we say."

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sa) said:

“If anyone fulfils his brother's needs, Allah will fulfil his needs; if one relieves a Muslim of his troubles, Allah will relieve his troubles on the Day of Resurrection…" [Bukhari and Muslim].
