Here is another image of the happiness of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, which we need to contemplate. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, rejoiced after the truth was revealed when Allaah The Almighty sent down the acquittal of his pure wife ‘Aa'ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, from what the scandalmongers and hypocrites had accused her of.

Then he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, also rejoiced when ‘Aa'ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, chose him after the verse of giving the choice (i.e., Quran 33:28, 29) was sent down. When this verse was revealed, he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, called ‘Aa'ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, and said to her: "I am going to tell you about something and you do not have to hasten to respond until you consult your parents." "Concerning what do I need to consult my parents?" she replied, "I choose Allaah and His Messenger and the Home of the Hereafter." In another narration, she, may Allaah be pleased with her, said, "O Messenger of Allaah, do I have to consult my parents about you! I choose Allaah, His Messenger and the Hereafter."

This was the happiness of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. It was in Allaah The Almighty and by Him, and in truth and by truth. Thus, we should follow his example and rejoice as he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to.
