حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَنَابٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتِ:
اجْتَمَعْنَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ امْرَأَةً فَتَعَاهَدْنَ، وَتَعَاقَدْنَ أَنْ لَا يَكْتُمْنَ مِنْ أَخْبَارِ أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَتِ الْأُولَى: زَوْجِي لَحْمُ جَمَلٍ غَثٍّ، عَلَى رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ، لَا سَهْلٍ فَيُرْتَقَى، وَلَا سَمِينٍ فَيُنْتَقَلُ. قَالَتِ الثَّانِيَةُ: زَوْجِي لَا أَبُثُّ خَبَرَهُ، إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ لَا أَذَرَهُ، إِنْ أَذْكُرْهُ أَذْكُرْ عُجَرَهُ وَبُجَرَهُ. قَالَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ: زَوْجِي الْعَشَنَّقُ، إِنْ أَسْكُتْ أُعَلَّقْ، وَإِنْ أَنْطِقْ أُطَلَّقْ. قَالَتِ الرَّابِعَةُ: زَوْجِي كَلَيْلِ تِهَامَةَ، لَا حَرٌّ وَلَا قَرٌّ، وَلَا مَخَافَةَ وَلَا سَآمَةَ. قَالَتِ الْخَامِسَةُ: زَوْجِي إِنْ أَكَلَ لَفَّ، وَإِنْ شَرِبَ اشْتَفَّ، وَإِنْ نَامَ الْتَفَّ، وَلَا يُولِجُ الْكَفَّ لِيَعْلَمَ الْبَثَّ. قَالَتِ السَّادِسَةُ: زَوْجِي غَيَايَاءُ - أَوْ عَيَايَاءُ، شَكَّ عِيسَى - طَبَاقَاءُ، كُلُّ دَاءٍ لَهُ دَاءٌ، شَجَّكِ، أَوْ فَلَّكِ، أَوْ جَمَعَ كُلًّا لَكِ. قَالَتِ السَّابِعَةُ: زَوْجِي إِنْ دَخَلَ أَسِدَ، وَإِنْ خَرَجَ فَهِدَ، وَلَا يَسْأَلُ عَمَّا عَهِدَ. قَالَتِ الثَّامِنَةُ: زَوْجِي الْمَسُّ مَسُّ أَرْنَبٍ، وَالرِّيحُ رِيحُ زَرْنَبٍ. قَالَتِ التَّاسِعَةُ: زَوْجِي رَفِيعُ الْعِمَادِ، طَوِيلُ النِّجَادِ، عَظِيمُ الرَّمَادِ، قَرِيبُ الْبَيْتِ مِنَ النَّادِي. قَالَتِ الْعَاشِرَةُ: زَوْجِي مَالِكٌ، وَمَا مَالِكٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، لَهُ إِبِلٌ قَلِيلَاتُ الْمَسَارِحِ كَثِيرَاتُ الْمَبَارِكِ، إِذَا سَمِعْنَ صَوْتَ الْمِزْهَرِ أَيْقَنَّ أَنَّهُنَّ هَوَالِكُ. قَالَتِ الْحَادِيَةُ عَشْرَةَ: زَوْجِي أَبُو زَرْعٍ، وَمَا أَبُو زَرْعٍ، أَنَاسَ مِنْ حُلِيٍّ أُذُنَيَّ، وَمَلَأَ مِنْ شَحْمٍ عَضُدَيَّ، وَبَجَّحَنِي فَبَجِحَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي، فَوَجَدَنِي فِي أَهْلِ غُنَيْمَةٍ بِشِقٍّ، فَجَعَلَنِي فِي أَهْلِ صَهِيلٍ، وَأَطِيطٍ، وَدَائِسٍ، وَمُنَقٍّ، وَعِنْدَهُ أَقُولُ فَلَا أُقَبَّحُ، وَأَرْقُدُ فَأَتَصَبَّحُ، وَأَشْرَبُ فَأَتَقَمَّحُ. أُمُّ أَبِي زَرْعٍ، وَمَا أُمُّ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ؟ عُكُومُهَا رَدَاحٌ، وَبَيْتُهَا فَسَاحٌ. ابْنُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ، فَمَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ؟ مَضْجَعُهُ كَمَسَلِّ شَطْبَةٍ، وَيُشْبِعُهُ ذِرَاعُ الْجَفْرَةِ. ابْنَةُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ، وَمَا ابْنَةُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ؟ طَوْعُ أَبِيهَا، وَطَوْعُ أُمِّهَا، وَمِلْءُ كِسَائِهَا، وَغَيْظُ جَارَتِهَا. جَارِيَةُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ، وَمَا جَارِيَةُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ؟ لَا تَبُثُّ حَدِيثَنَا تَبْثِيثًا، وَلَا تَنْقُلُ مِيرَتَنَا تَنْقِيثًا، وَلَا تَمْلَأُ بَيْتَنَا تَعْشِيشًا. خَرَجَ أَبُو زَرْعٍ وَالْأَوْطَابُ تُمْخَضُ، فَلَقِيَ امْرَأَةً مَعَهَا وَلَدَانِ لَهَا كَالْفَهْدَيْنِ، يَلْعَبَانِ مِنْ تَحْتِ خَصْرِهَا بِرُمَّانَتَيْنِ، فَطَلَّقَنِي وَنَكَحَهَا، فَنَكَحْتُ بَعْدَهُ رَجُلًا سَرِيًّا، رَكِبَ شَرِيًّا، وَأَخَذَ خَطِّيًّا، وَأَرَاحَ عَلَيَّ نَعَمًا ثَرِيًّا قَالَ: كُلِي أُمَّ زَرْعٍ، وَمِيرِي أَهْلَكِ. قَالَتْ: فَإِنْ جَمَعْتُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَعْطَانِيهِ، مَا بَلَغَ أَصْغَرَ آنِيَةِ أَبِي زَرْعٍ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا عَائِشُ، كُنْتُ لَكِ كَأَبِي زَرْعٍ لِأُمِّ زَرْعٍ

✧ Eleven women gathered and made a pact and covenant not to conceal anything about their husbands. The first said: “My husband is the flesh of a lean camel on top of a mountain, not easy to climb, nor fat to be carried down.” The second said: “My husband, I will not spread his news. I fear I cannot leave him. If I mention him, I mention his visible and hidden faults.” The third said: “My husband is tall and thin. If I am silent, I remain suspended; if I speak, I am divorced.” The fourth said: “My husband is like the night of Tihamah, neither hot nor cold, and there is no fear or boredom with him.” The fifth said: “My husband, when he eats, he devours; when he drinks, he gulps; when he sleeps, he wraps himself up, and he does not extend his hand to know my grief.” The sixth said: “My husband is inept—or impotent, ‘Isa was uncertain—utterly incompetent. Every ailment is his ailment. He may crack your skull or break your bone, or do both to you.” The seventh said: “My husband, when he enters, he is like a lion; when he leaves, he is like a leopard, and he does not ask about what he entrusted.” The eighth said: “My husband’s touch is the touch of a rabbit, and his scent is the scent of carnation.” The ninth said: “My husband is lofty in stature, long in sword-belt, great in ash, and his house is near the assembly.” The tenth said: “My husband is Malik, and what is Malik? He is better than that. He has camels that are few in pastures but many in resting places. When they hear the sound of the lute, they are certain that they are doomed.” The eleventh said: “My husband is Abu Zar‘, and what is Abu Zar‘? He adorned my ears with jewelry, filled my upper arms with fat, and made me happy, so I became pleased with myself. He found me among people of a small flock in a rugged place, and he placed me among people of neighing, creaking, threshing, and winnowing. With him I speak and am not rebuked; I sleep and wake late; I drink and quench my thirst. The mother of Abu Zar‘, and what is the mother of Abu Zar‘? Her bundles are ample, and her house is spacious. The son of Abu Zar‘, and what is the son of Abu Zar‘? His bed is like a drawn sword, and the foreleg of a young goat satisfies him. The daughter of Abu Zar‘, and what is the daughter of Abu Zar‘? She is obedient to her father, obedient to her mother, fills her garment, and is the envy of her neighbor. The slave girl of Abu Zar‘, and what is the slave girl of Abu Zar‘? She does not spread our talk, does not scatter our provisions, and does not fill our house with clutter. Abu Zar‘ went out when the skins were being churned, and he met a woman with two sons like leopards playing beneath her waist with two pomegranates. He divorced me and married her. After him I married a noble man who rode a fine horse and took a spear, and he brought me abundant livestock. He said: ‘Eat, Umm Zar‘, and give to your family.’ She said: ‘If I gathered everything he gave me, it would not reach the smallest vessel of Abu Zar‘.’” ‘A’ishah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: “O ‘A’ish, I am to you as Abu Zar‘ was to Umm Zar‘.”
