passed away last night um hash should bless the family with uh with comfort and with strength during this difficult time. >> Please my friends let us begin. The puk says and Abraham prayed for aime to God and God healed aime and his wife and his maid servants the aladu and they and his maid servants the aladu and they gave birth. Of course, what are we talking about in the aftermath of Saiu being taken by Aime? So, uh, suddenly there was a plague that broke out in the house of Aimelik and all of the, uh, the holes of the A of the Aime was closed up and no one could give birth and also no one could go to the bathroom. There was excruciating pain for Aime and for his wife and for pain for Aime and for his wife and for the ones that needed to give birth. They were unable to give birth because he had tampered with because he had taken a like what's going on. Hashem appears to me and tells him you took the wife of the Nav'i of the prophet so you better go and ask him for forgiveness and if he prays for you good but if not nothing is going to change. So God leaves it completely in the hands of Abraham Au. Aimed comes to Abrau and he tells him what's happened. And he tells him what's happened. And Abraham says, "Don't worry, no problem." He forgives him. He prays for him. And God opens up uh these openings for Abime and his family. Now I want to quote to you a fascinating deo.
