Musnad Ahmad 26866

Translation

✧ Abdul Razzaq was mentioned in my book, Sumayyah bint Huyay, that the Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj with his wives. While they were on the way, a man came and took hold of the reins of the camels, causing them to move faster. The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is how you control your market with bottles," meaning, women. While they were walking, Safiyyah bint Huyay's camel stumbled and she fell down. She began to cry, and when the Prophet ﷺ was informed of this, he wiped her tears with his hand. Her crying increased, and while he tried to stop her, her weeping grew louder. He instructed the people to stop and they did. It was my day, so when they stopped, the Prophet ﷺ struck me on my chest and entered a tent. I wondered why the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was so angry with me. I feared that there was something wrong with him, so I went to Aisha and said, "You know very well that I have never sold my day to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for anything. Indeed, I had donated my day to you in order to please the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She replied, "Yes, I know." I said, "Sheikh's favor is from Allah, and He grants favor to whom He wills." He said, "Go and join your family." When she objected, the Prophet ﷺ did not speak to her until he reached Makkah and stayed there for a few days. Then, during the journey back to Madinah, he passed by al-Muharram. He did not come to her or divide anything with her. She lost hope in him. In the month of Rabi' al-Awwal, he came to her and she saw his shadow. She said, "This is the shadow of a person, and the Prophet ﷺ does not enter upon me. Who is this?" The Prophet ﷺ entered and she said, "O Messenger of Allah, I do not know what to do when you enter upon me." She had a servant whom she used to hide from the Prophet ﷺ. She said, "It is yours, Fulanah." The Prophet ﷺ went to the bed of Zainab, which had been raised, and put it in his hand. Then, he went to his wife and was pleased with them.
