✧ A guest stayed with 'A'ishah, so she ordered for him a yellow blanket of hers. He slept in it and had a wet dream. He felt too shy to send it back with the trace of the wet dream on it. He said: So he dipped it in water, then sent it back. 'A'ishah said: Why did he ruin our garment for us?! It would have sufficed him to rub it with his fingers. Many a time I rubbed it from the garment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with my fingers.

He said: Wait, and when you are pure, go out to al-Tan'im, enter ihram from there, then meet us. And he said once: Then join us at such-and-such a mountain. He said: I think he said: such-and-such. But it is according to the extent of your effort, or the extent of your spending, or as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said.
Musnad Ahmad 24160Sahih
بَلَغَ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يَأْمُرُ النِّسَاءَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلْنَ أَنْ يَنْقُضْنَ رُءُوسَهُنَّ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا عَجَبًا لِابْنِ عَمْرٍو هُوَ يَأْمُرُ النِّسَاءَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلْنَ أَنْ يَنْقُضْنَ رُءُوسَهُنَّ، أَفَلَا يَأْمُرُهُنَّ أَنْ يَحْلِقْنَ ؟! لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَغْتَسِلُ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَمَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى أَنْ أُفْرِغَ عَلَى رَأْسِي ثَلَاثَ إِفْرَاغَاتٍ.
✧ It reached 'A'ishah that 'Abd Allah b. 'Amr commanded women, when they perform ghusl, to undo their hair. She said: How amazing of Ibn 'Amr! He commands women, when they perform ghusl, to undo their hair. Why doesn't he command them to shave their heads?! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I used to perform ghusl from a single vessel, and I did no more than pour water over my head three times.
Musnad Ahmad 24161Sahih
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُجْنِبُ، ثُمَّ يَنَامُ وَلَا يَمَسُّ مَاءً، حَتَّى يَقُومَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَيَغْتَسِلَ.

✧ My father sent a woman to 'A'ishah asking her: Which prayer was most beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to be constant upon? She said: He used to pray four rak'ahs before Zuhr, prolonging the standing in them and performing well the bowing and prostration in them. As for what he never omitted, whether healthy or ill, absent or present, it was two rak'ahs before Fajr.
قَبَّلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ مَظْعُونٍ وَهُوَ مَيِّتٌ، حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الدُّمُوعَ تَسِيلُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ.

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِأَسِيرٍ فَلَهَوْتُ عَنْهُ فَذَهَبَ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَ الْأَسِيرُ؟ قَالَتْ لَهَوْتُ عَنْهُ مَعَ النِّسْوَةِ فَخَرَجَ فَقَالَ مَا لَكِ قَطَعَ اللهُ يَدَكِ أَوْ يَدَيْكِ فَخَرَجَ فَآذَنَ بِهِ النَّاسَ فَطَلَبُوهُ فَجَاءُوا بِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ وَأَنَا أُقَلِّبُ يَدَيَّ فَقَالَ مَا لَكِ أَجُنِنْتِ؟ قُلْتُ دَعَوْتَ عَلَيَّ فَأَنَا أُقَلِّبُ يَدَيَّ أَنْظُرُ أَيُّهُمَا يُقْطَعَانِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ مَدًّا وَقَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي بَشَرٌ أَغْضَبُ كَمَا يَغْضَبُالْبَشَرُ فَأَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ مُؤْمِنَةٍ دَعَوْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَاجْعَلْهُ لَهُ زَكَاةً وَطُهُورًا
✧ The Prophet ﷺ entered upon me with a prisoner. I became distracted from him with the women, and he went away. The Prophet ﷺ came and said, 'What happened to the prisoner?' She said: I got distracted from him with the women, so he left. He said, 'What is wrong with you? May Allah cut off your hand or your hands!' Then he went out and informed the people, so they searched for him and brought him back. He entered upon me while I was turning my hands over. He said, 'What is wrong with you? Have you gone mad?' I said, 'You supplicated against me, so I am turning my hands to see which one will be cut off.' Then he praised Allah and extolled Him, raised his hands, and said, 'O Allah, I am only human; I get angry as humans do. So for any believing man or woman against whom I have supplicated, make it a purification and a cleansing for him.'

we (intended to pour) medicine in the mouth of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his illness, but he pointed out (with the gesture of his hand) that it should not be poured into the mouth against his will. We said: (It was perhaps due to the natural) aversion of the patient against medicine.

He said: "You will be tried in your graves like the trial of the Dajjal.' Aishah said: 'I heard him after that seeking refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1476)

He met Ibn 'Abbas and asked him about Witr. He said: "Shall I not lead you to one who knows best among the people of the world about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said: "Yes." (Ibn Abbas) said: "It is 'Aishah. So go to her and ask her (about witr) and then come back to me and tell me the answer that she gives you." So I went to Hakim bin Aflah and asked him to go accompany me to her. He said: "I shall not go to her, for I told her not to say anything about these two (conflicting) groups, but she refused (to accept my advice) and went on (to participate in the conflict)." I swore an oath, beseeching him (to take me to her). So he came with me and went unto her. She said to Hakim: "Who is this with you?" He said: "He is Sa'd bin Hisham." She said: "Which Hisham?" He said: "Ibn Amir." She supplicated for mercy for him and said: "What a good man Amir was." He said: "O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah." She said: "Don't you read the Qur'an?" I said: "Yes." She said "The character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the Qur'an." He said: "I wanted to get up (and leave), then I thought of the Qiyam (night prayer) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "Tell me about the Qiyam of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said: "Do you not recite this surah: "O you wrapped in garments?" I said: "Yes." She said: "Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, made Qiyam Al-Lail obligatory at the beginning of this surah, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions prayed Qiyam Al-Lail for one year. Allah (SWT) withheld the latter part of this surah for twelve months, then he revealed the lessening (of this duty) at the end of this surah, so Qiyam Al-Lail became voluntary after it had been obligatory." I felt inclined to stand up (and not ask anything further), then I thought of the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said: "O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said: "We used to prepare his siwak and water for his ablution, and Allah (SWT) would wake him when He wished during the night. He would use the siwak, perform ablution, and then pray eight rak'ahs in which he would not sit until he reached the eighth one. Then he would sit and remember Allah (SWT) and supplicate, then he would say the taslim that we could hear. Then he would pray two rak'as sitting after uttering the taslim, then he would pray one rak'ah, and that made eleven rak'ahs, O my son! When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ grew older and put on weight, he prayed witr with seven rak'ahs, then he prayed two rak'ahs sitting down after saying the taslim, and that made nine rak'ahs. O my son, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺoffered a prayer, he liked to continue to offer it, and when sleep, sickness, or pain distracted him from praying Qiyam Al-Lail, he would pray twelve rak'ahs during the day. I am not aware of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ having recited the whole Qur'an during a single night, or praying through the whole night until morning, or fasting a complete month, except Ramadan." I went to Ibn 'Abbas and told him what she had said, and he said: "She has spoken the truth. If I could go to her (and meet her face to face) I would so that she could tell me all of that verbally." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1601)

She said, 'When he entered the house, he would recite: If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth, he would seek a third, and nothing fills his mouth except dust.

انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ أَنَا وَعَمَّارٌ وَالْأَشْتَرُ، فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا أُمَّتَاهُ، فَقَالَتِ: السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَى، حَتَّى أَعَادَهَا عَلَيْهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَا وَاللهِ، إِنَّكِ لَأُمِّي، وَإِنْ كَرِهْتِ، قَالَتْ: مَنْ هَذَا مَعَكَ ؟ قَالَ: هَذَا الْأَشْتَرُ، قَالَتْ: أَنْتَ الَّذِي أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ ابْنَ أُخْتِي ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَدْ أَرَدْتُ ذَلِكَ وَأَرَادَهُ، قَالَتْ: أَمَا لَوْ فَعَلْتَ مَا أَفْلَحْتَ، أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عَمَّارُ، فَقَدْ سَمِعْتَ - أَوْ سَمِعْتُ - رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ: إِلَّا مَنْ زَنَى بَعْدَ مَا أُحْصِنَ، أَوْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ مَا أَسْلَمَ، أَوْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا فَقُتِلَ بِهَا.
✧ I, Ammar, and al-Ashtar came to Aishah. Ammar said, "Peace be upon you, O my mother." She said, "Peace be upon him who follows guidance," until he repeated it to her two or three times. Then he said, "By Allah, you are indeed my mother, even if you dislike it." She said, "Who is this with you?" He said, "This is al-Ashtar." She said, "Are you the one who wanted to kill my nephew?" He said, "Yes, I wanted that and he wanted it." She said, "If you had done it, you would never have prospered. As for you, O Ammar, you have heard - or I have heard - the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The blood of a Muslim man is not lawful except for three: except one who commits adultery after having been married, or one who disbelieves after having embraced Islam, or one who kills a soul and is killed in retaliation.'"
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَتْ: لَمْ تَكُنْ صَلَاةٌ أَحْرَى أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَهَا إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى حَدِيثٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ، وَمَا صَلَّاهَا قَطُّ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ إِلَّا صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا أَرْبَعًا أَوْ سِتًّا، وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَتَّقِي الْأَرْضَ بِشَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا أَنِّي أَذْكُرُ أَنَّ يَوْمَ مَطَرٍ أَلْقَيْنَا تَحْتَهُ بَتًّا، فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى خَرْقٍ فِيهِ يَنْبُعُ مِنْهُ الْمَاءُ
✧ I asked Aishah about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said, "There was no prayer he was more likely to delay, when he was engaged in conversation, than the later isha prayer. He never prayed it and then entered upon me except that he prayed after it four or six rak'ahs. I never saw him protect himself from the ground with anything at all, except that I remember that on a rainy day we placed under him a mat (batt). It is as if I am looking at a hole in it from which water gushed out."
بَتًّا - يَعْنِي: النِّطَعَ - فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ
✧ A mat (batt) - meaning the tanned leather mat - and he prayed on it, and indeed I saw...
Musnad Ahmad 24307Sahih
قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ: هَلْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَبْدُو ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، كَانَ يَبْدُو إِلَى هَذِهِ التِّلَاعِ، فَأَرَادَ الْبَدَاوَةَ مَرَّةً، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى نَعَمٍ مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ، فَأَعْطَانِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةً مُحَرَّمَةً، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا عَائِشَةُ، عَلَيْكِ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالرِّفْقِ، فَإِنَّ الرِّفْقَ لَمْ يَكُ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا زَانَهُ، وَلَمْ يُنْزَعْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا شَانَهُ.
✧ I said to Aisha, "Did the Prophet ﷺ show his emotions?" She replied, "Yes, he used to show his emotions on this hill. Once he wanted to go for a caravan raid, so he sent for some camels from the charity and gave me one of them. Then he said, 'O Aisha, be conscious of Allah and be gentle, for gentleness improves everything, and it is not removed from anything except that it ruins it.'"
Musnad Ahmad 24308Sahih
إِنَّ كَسْرَ عَظْمِ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَيِّتًا مِثْلُ كَسْرِهِ حَيًّا
✧ Breaking the bone of a believer when he is dead is like breaking it when he is alive.
Musnad Ahmad 24309Sahih
إِنْ كَانَ لَيَنْزِلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْغَدَاةِ الْبَارِدَةِ، ثُمَّ تَفِيضُ جَبْهَتُهُ عَرَقًا.
✧ Revelation would descend upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a cold morning, and then his forehead would drip with sweat.
Musnad Ahmad 24310Sahih
مَا غِرْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَا غِرْتُ عَلَى خَدِيجَةَ، وَلَقَدْ هَلَكَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَنِي بِثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ، لِمَا كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُهُ يَذْكُرُهَا، وَلَقَدْ أَمَرَهُ رَبُّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُبَشِّرَهَا بِبَيْتٍ مِنْ قَصَبٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَذْبَحُ الشَّاةَ ثُمَّ يُهْدِي فِي خُلَّتِهَا مِنْهَا.
✧ I was never jealous of any woman as I was jealous of Khadijah, and she had died three years before he married me, because of what I used to hear him mention of her. His Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, commanded him to give her glad tidings of a house in Paradise made of hollow pearl, and he would slaughter a sheep and then send gifts to her friends from it.
Musnad Ahmad 24311Sahih
دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ مِنْ كَدَاءٍ مِنْ أَعْلَى مَكَّةَ، وَدَخَلَ فِي الْعُمْرَةِ مِنْ كُدًى.
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered on the day of the conquest from Kada, from the upper part of Makkah, and he entered during the umrah from Kuda.
Musnad Ahmad 24312Sahih
فَزِعْتُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، وَفَقَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَدَدْتُ يَدِي، فَوَقَعَتْ عَلَى قَدَمَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَهُمَا مُنْتَصِبَتَانِ، وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ، لَا أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ، أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ.
✧ I was startled one night and could not find the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I reached out my hand and it fell upon the feet of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and they were upright, and he was prostrating, saying: 'I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your wrath, and I seek refuge in Your pardon from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot enumerate praise upon You; You are as You have praised Yourself.'
Musnad Ahmad 24313Sahih
لَمَّا جَاءَ نَعْيُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْرَفُ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْحُزْنُ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: وَأَنَا أَطَّلِعُ مِنْ شَقِّ الْبَابِ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ نِسَاءَ جَعْفَرٍ. فَذَكَرَ مِنْ بُكَائِهِنَّ، فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَنْهَاهُنَّ، فَذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ نَهَيْتُهُنَّ، وَإِنَّهُنَّ لَمْ يُطِعْنَهُ، حَتَّى كَانَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ. فَزَعَمَتْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: احْثُو فِي أَفْوَاهِهِنَّ التُّرَابَ. فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: قُلْتُ: أَرْغَمَ اللهُ بِأَنْفِكَ، وَاللهِ مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ مَا قَالَ لَكَ، وَلَا تَرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ.
✧ When the news of the death of Ja'far b. Abi Talib, Zayd b. Harithah, and 'Abd Allah b. Rawahah came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down, and sadness was recognizable on his face. 'Aishah said: 'I was looking through a crack in the door. A man came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, the women of Ja'far...' and he mentioned their weeping. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him to forbid them. The man went away, then came back and said: 'I forbade them, but they did not obey me,' until the third time. She claimed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Throw dust into their mouths.' 'Aishah said: I said: 'May Allah rub your nose in the dust! By Allah, you are not doing what he told you, and you have not left the Messenger of Allah ﷺ alone.'
Musnad Ahmad 24314Sahih

Musnad Ahmad 24316Sahih
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحِبُّ الْحَلْوَى وَيُحِبُّ الْعَسَلَ، وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ دَارَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ، فَيَدْنُو مِنْهُنَّ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَاحْتَبَسَ عِنْدَهَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا كَانَ يَحْتَبِسُ، فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقِيلَ لِي: أَهْدَتْ لَهَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهَا عُكَّةَ عَسَلٍ، فَسَقَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْهُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَمَا وَاللهِ لَنَحْتَالَنَّ لَهُ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِسَوْدَةَ وَقُلْتُ: إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْكِ، فَإِنَّهُ سَيَدْنُو مِنْكِ، فَقُولِي لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِرَ ؟ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَقُولُ لَكِ: لَا، فَقُولِي لَهُ: مَا هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ - وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُوجَدَ مِنْهُ رِيحٌ - فَإِنَّهُ سَيَقُولُ لَكِ: سَقَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ شَرْبَةَ عَسَلٍ، فَقُولِي لَهُ: جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ، وَسَأَقُولُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ، وَقُولِي لَهُ أَنْتِ يَا صَفِيَّةُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى سَوْدَةَ قَالَتْ سَوْدَةُ: وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَقَدْ كِدْتُ أَنْ أُبَادِئَهُ بِالَّذِي قُلْتِ لِي، وَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَى الْبَابِ فَرَقًا مِنْكِ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِرَ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قُلْتُ: فَمَا هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ ؟ قَالَ: سَقَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ شَرْبَةَ عَسَلٍ. قَالَتْ: جَرَسَتْ نَحْلُهُ الْعُرْفُطَ. فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ، قُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلَا أَسْقِيكَ مِنْهُ ؟ قَالَ: لَا حَاجَةَ لِي بِهِ. قَالَ: تَقُولُ سَوْدَةُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَاللهِ لَقَدْ حَرَمْنَاهُ، قُلْتُ لَهَا: اسْكُتِي.
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to like sweets and honey. When he had prayed 'Asr, he would go around to his wives and draw near to them. He entered upon Hafsah and stayed with her longer than he usually did. I asked about that and was told: 'A woman of her people gave her a skin of honey as a gift, and she gave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ some of it to drink.' I said: 'By Allah, we will contrive a plan against him.' I mentioned that to Sawdah and said: 'When he enters upon you, he will draw near to you. Say to him: O Messenger of Allah, have you eaten maghafir? He will say to you: No. Then say to him: What is this smell? — and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ disliked that an odor should be found on him — He will say to you: Hafsah gave me a drink of honey. Then say to him: Its bees grazed on 'urfut. I will say that to him, and you, O Safiyyah, say it too.' When he entered upon Sawdah, Sawdah said: 'By the One besides whom there is no deity, I was about to confront him with what you told me, while he was at the door, out of fear of you.' When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew near, I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, have you eaten maghafir?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'What is this smell?' He said: 'Hafsah gave me a drink of honey.' She said: 'Its bees grazed on 'urfut.' When he entered upon me, I said the like of that to him. Then he entered upon Safiyyah and she said the like of that to him. When he entered upon Hafsah, she said: 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I not give you some of it to drink?' He said: 'I have no need of it.' She [the narrator] said: 'Sawdah said: Glory be to Allah! By Allah, we have deprived him.' I said to her: 'Be quiet.'

أَمَّا بَعْدُ، أَشِيرُوا عَلَيَّ فِي نَاسٍ أَبَنُوا أَهْلِي، وَايْمُ اللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي سُوءًا قَطُّ، وَأَبَنُوهُمْ بِمَنْ ؟ وَاللهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ سُوءٍ قَطُّ، وَلَا دَخَلَ بَيْتِي قَطُّ إِلَّا وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ، وَلَا غِبْتُ فِي سَفَرٍ إِلَّا غَابَ مَعِي. فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ: نَرَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَنْ نَضْرِبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَلْخَزْرَجِ - وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ مِنْ رَهْطِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ - فَقَالَ: كَذَبْتَ، أَمَا وَاللهِ لَوْ كَانُوا مِنَ الْأَوْسِ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تَضْرِبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ. حَتَّى كَادُوا أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَ الْأَوْسِ وَالْخَزْرَجِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ شَرٌّ، وَمَا عَلِمْتُ بِهِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مَسَاءُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ خَرَجْتُ لِبَعْضِ حَاجَتِي، وَمَعِي أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ، فَعَثَرَتْ، فَقَالَتْ: تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ. فَقُلْتُ: [عَلَى مَا] تَسُبِّينَ ابْنَكِ ؟ فَسَكَتَتْ، ثُمَّ عَثَرَتِ الثَّانِيَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ، فَقُلْتُ: [عَلَى مَا] تَسُبِّينَ ابْنَكِ ؟ ثُمَّ عَثَرَتِ الثَّالِثَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ، فَانْتَهَرْتُهَا، فَقُلْتُ: [عَلَى مَا] تَسُبِّينَ ابْنَكِ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: وَاللهِ مَا أَسُبُّهُ إِلَّا فِيكِ. فَقُلْتُ: فِي أَيِّ شَأْنِي ؟ فَذَكَرَتْ لِي الْحَدِيثَ، فَقُلْتُ: وَقَدْ كَانَ هَذَا ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ وَاللهِ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى بَيْتِي، لَكَأَنَّ الَّذِي خَرَجْتُ لَهُ لَمْ أَخْرُجْ لَهُ، لَا أَجِدُ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا وَلَا كَثِيرًا، وَوَعَكْتُ، فَقُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: أَرْسِلْنِي إِلَى بَيْتِ أَبِي، فَأَرْسَلَ مَعِي الْغُلَامَ، فَدَخَلْتُ الدَّارَ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِأُمِّ رُومَانَ فَقَالَتْ: مَا جَاءَ بِكِ يَا بُنَيَّةُ ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا، فَقَالَتْ: خَفِّضِي عَلَيْكِ الشَّأْنَ، فَإِنَّهُ وَاللهِ لَقَلَّمَا كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ جَمِيلَةٌ تَكُونُ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ يُحِبُّهَا وَلَهَا ضَرَائِرُ إِلَّا حَسَدْنَهَا، وَقُلْنَ فِيهَا، قُلْتُ: وَقَدْ عَلِمَ بِهِ أَبِي ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قُلْتُ: وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَتْ: وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ. فَاسْتَعْبَرْتُ، فَبَكَيْتُ، فَسَمِعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ صَوْتِي وَهُوَ فَوْقَ الْبَيْتِ يَقْرَأُ، فَنَزَلَ فَقَالَ لِأُمِّي: مَا شَأْنُهَا ؟ فَقَالَتْ: بَلَغَهَا الَّذِي ذُكِرَ مِنْ أَمْرِهَا، فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ: أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بُنَيَّةُ إِلَّا رَجَعْتِ إِلَى بَيْتِكِ، فَرَجَعْتُ وَأَصْبَحَ أَبَوَايَ عِنْدِي، فَلَمْ يَزَالَا عِنْدِي حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ، وَقَدِ اكْتَنَفَنِي أَبَوَايَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي، فَتَشَهَّدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ، يَا عَائِشَةُ، إِنْ كُنْتِ قَارَفْتِ سُوءًا وَظَلَمْتِ، تُوبِي إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ. وَقَدْ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَهِيَ جَالِسَةٌ بِالْبَابِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَلَا تَسْتَحِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَقُولَ شَيْئًا ؟ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي: أَجِبْهُ. فَقَالَ: أَقُولُ مَاذَا ؟ ! فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي: أَجِيبِيهِ، فَقَالَتْ: أَقُولُ مَاذَا ؟ ! فَلَمَّا لَمْ يُجِيبَاهُ، تَشَهَّدْتُ، فَحَمِدْتُ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَأَثْنَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَوَاللهِ لَئِنْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي لَمْ أَفْعَلْ - وَاللهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنِّي لَصَادِقَةٌ - مَا ذَاكَ بِنَافِعِي عِنْدَكُمْ، لَقَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ بِهِ وَأُشْرِبَتْهُ قُلُوبُكُمْ، وَلَئِنْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ: إِنِّي قَدْ فَعَلْتُ - وَاللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَفْعَلْ - لَتَقُولُنَّ قَدْ بَاءَتْ بِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا، فَإِنِّي وَاللهِ مَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مَثَلًا إِلَّا أَبَا يُوسُفَ وَمَا أَحْفَظُ اسْمَهُ: صَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ فَأُنْزِلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَاعَتَئِذٍ، فَرُفِعَ عَنْهُ، وَإِنِّي لَأَسْتَبِينُ السُّرُورَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ جَبِينَهُ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: أَبْشِرِي يَا عَائِشَةُ، فَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بَرَاءَتَكِ. فَكُنْتُ أَشَدَّ مَا كُنْتُ غَضَبًا، فَقَالَ لِي أَبَوَايَ: قُومِي إِلَيْهِ، قُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَا أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَحْمَدُهُ وَلَا أَحْمَدُكُمَا، لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ فَمَا أَنْكَرْتُمُوهُ وَلَا غَيَّرْتُمُوهُ، وَلَكِنْ أَحْمَدُ اللهَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ بَرَاءَتِي، وَلَقَدْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْتِي، فَسَأَلَ الْجَارِيَةَ عَنِّي ؟ فَقَالَتْ: لَا وَاللهِ، مَا أَعْلَمُ عَلَيْهَا عَيْبًا إِلَّا أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَنَامُ حَتَّى تَدْخُلَ الشَّاةُ فَتَأْكُلَ خَمِيرَتَهَا أَوْ عَجِينَتَهَا - شَكَّ هِشَامٌ - فَانْتَهَرَهَا بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَقَالَ: اصْدُقِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أَسْقَطُوا لَهَا بِهِ - قَالَ عُرْوَةُ: فَعِيبَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى مَنْ قَالَهُ - فَقَالَتْ: لَا وَاللهِ مَا أَعْلَمُ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا مَا يَعْلَمُ الصَّائِغُ عَلَى تِبْرِ الذَّهَبِ الْأَحْمَرِ، وَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَاللهِ مَا كَشَفْتُ كَنَفَ أُنْثَى قَطُّ، فَقُتِلَ شَهِيدًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَأَمَّا زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ فَعَصَمَهَا اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِدِينِهَا، فَلَمْ تَقُلْ إِلَّا خَيْرًا، وَأَمَّا أُخْتُهَا حَمْنَةُ، فَهَلَكَتْ فِيمَنْ هَلَكَ، وَكَانَ الَّذِينَ تَكَلَّمُوا فِيهِ الْمُنَافِقُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ، كَانَ يَسْتَوْشِيهِ وَيَجْمَعُهُ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى كِبْرَهُ مِنْهُمْ، وَمِسْطَحٌ، وَحَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَحَلَفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَنْ لَا يَنْفَعَ مِسْطَحًا بِنَافِعَةٍ أَبَدًا، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَلا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ يَعْنِي: أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُؤْتُوا أُولِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْمَسَاكِينَ يَعْنِي: مِسْطَحًا أَلا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَكُمْ وَاللهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: بَلَى وَاللهِ، إِنَّا لَنُحِبُّ أَنْ يُغْفَرَ لَنَا. وَعَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِمِسْطَحٍ بِمَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ بِهِ. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: تضرب. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: علام. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: علام. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: علام. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: أو ظلمت. كذا في طبعة جمعية المكنز الإسلامي، وفي طبعة مؤسسة الرسالة: تغفر.
✧ To proceed: Advise me concerning people who have slandered my family. By Allah, I have never known any evil from my family, and they have slandered them with whom? By Allah, I have never known any evil from him, and he never entered my house except when I was present, and I never went on a journey except that he went with me. Sa'd b. Mu'adh stood up and said: 'We think, O Messenger of Allah, that we should strike their necks.' A man from the Khazraj stood up — the mother of Hassan b. Thabit was from the clan of that man — and said: 'You lie. By Allah, if they had been from the Aws, you would not have loved to strike their necks.' This almost led to evil between the Aws and the Khazraj in the mosque, and I did not know about it. When it was evening of that day, I went out for some need of mine, and Umm Mistah was with me. She stumbled and said: 'May Mistah perish!' I said: 'Why do you insult your son?' She was silent. Then she stumbled a second time and said: 'May Mistah perish!' I said: 'Why do you insult your son?' Then she stumbled a third time and said: 'May Mistah perish!' I scolded her and said: 'Why do you insult your son?' She said: 'By Allah, I do not insult him except because of you.' I said: 'In what matter of mine?' She mentioned the affair to me. I said: 'And this has happened?' She said: 'Yes, by Allah.' I returned to my house as if the thing I had gone out for I had not gone out for, finding nothing of it, little or much. I fell ill and said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: 'Send me to my father's house.' So he sent a servant with me. I entered the house and found Umm Ruman. She said: 'What has brought you, my daughter?' I told her. She said: 'Take it lightly, for by Allah, rarely is a beautiful woman with a husband who loves her and has co-wives except that they envy her and say things about her.' I said: 'And has my father come to know of it?' She said: 'Yes.' I said: 'And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' She said: 'And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' I wept and cried. Abu Bakr heard my voice while he was on the upper part of the house reading. He came down and said to my mother: 'What is wrong with her?' She said: 'The news of what was said about her has reached her.' His eyes overflowed. He said: 'I adjure you, my daughter, to return to your house.' So I returned. My parents came to me in the morning and remained with me until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me after 'Asr, while my parents were on my right and my left. The Prophet ﷺ recited the tashahhud, praised Allah, and extolled Him as He deserves. Then he said: 'To proceed, O 'Aishah: If you have committed an evil deed and wronged, repent to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, for Allah, Mighty and Majestic, accepts repentance from His servants.' A woman of the Ansar had come and was sitting at the door. I said: 'Are you not ashamed before this woman to say something?' I said to my father: 'Answer him.' He said: 'What should I say?' I said to my mother: 'Answer him.' She said: 'What should I say?' When they did not answer him, I recited the tashahhud, praised Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and extolled Him as He deserves. Then I said: 'To proceed: By Allah, if I tell you that I did not do it — and Allah, glorified be His majesty, bears witness that I am truthful — that will not benefit me with you. You have spoken of it and your hearts have absorbed it. And if I tell you that I did it — and Allah, Mighty and Majestic, knows that I did not do it — you will say: She has confessed it against herself. By Allah, I find no likeness for me and you except the father of Yusuf — and I do not remember his name —: "So patience is most fitting, and Allah is the one sought for help against what you describe."' Then revelation came down upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at that moment. When it was lifted from him, I could discern joy on his face while he wiped his forehead and said: 'Rejoice, O 'Aishah, for Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has sent down your innocence.' I was as angry as I had ever been. My parents said to me: 'Get up and go to him.' I said: 'By Allah, I will not get up to him, nor praise him, nor praise you two. You heard it and did not reject it or change it. But I praise Allah who sent down my innocence.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to my house and asked the slave girl about me. She said: 'No, by Allah, I know no fault in her except that she would sleep until the sheep came in and ate her dough or her leaven — Hisham was uncertain —.' One of his companions scolded her and said: 'Tell the truth to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ,' until they made her slip about it. 'Urwah said: 'That was considered a fault on the one who said it.' She said: 'No, by Allah, I know nothing of her except what the goldsmith knows of pure red gold.' That reached the man who had been told, and he said: 'Glory be to Allah! By Allah, I have never uncovered the side of any female.' He was later killed as a martyr in the path of Allah. 'Aishah said: 'As for Zaynab bt. Jahsh, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, protected her through her religion, and she said nothing but good. As for her sister Hamnah, she perished among those who perished. Those who spoke about it were the hypocrite 'Abd Allah b. Ubayy, who sought it out and spread it, and he was the one who took the greater part of it, and Mistah and Hassan b. Thabit. Abu Bakr swore that he would never benefit Mistah with any benefit again. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sent down: "And let not those of virtue and wealth among you swear not to give to the near of kin and the needy" — meaning Abu Bakr — "that they should give to the near of kin and the needy" — meaning Mistah — "Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." Abu Bakr said: 'Yes, by Allah, we love that He should forgive us.' And Abu Bakr returned to Mistah the kindness he used to show him.' [The matn includes notes about variant readings in different editions, which are not part of the narration.]
Musnad Ahmad 24318Sahih
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ إِذَا كُنْتِ عَنِّي رَاضِيَةً، وَإِذَا كُنْتِ عَلَيَّ غَضْبَى. قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: مِنْ أَيْنَ تَعْلَمُ ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا كُنْتِ عَنِّي رَاضِيَةً، فَإِنَّكِ تَقُولِينَ: لَا وَرَبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَإِذَا كُنْتِ عَلَيَّ غَضْبَى تَقُولِينَ: لَا وَرَبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. قُلْتُ: أَجَلْ، وَاللهِ مَا أَهْجُرُ إِلَّا اسْمَكَ.
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'I know when you are pleased with me and when you are angry with me.' She said: I said: 'How do you know that?' He said: 'When you are pleased with me, you say: No, by the Lord of Muhammad. And when you are angry with me, you say: No, by the Lord of Ibrahim.' I said: 'Yes, by Allah, I do not abandon except your name.'
Musnad Ahmad 24319Sahih
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِمَا يُطِيقُونَ، فَيَقُولُونَ: إِنَّا لَسْنَا كَهَيْئَتِكَ، قَدْ غَفَرَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ، فَيَغْضَبُ حَتَّى يُرَى ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُكُمْ بِاللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَأَتْقَاكُمْ لَهُ قَلْبًا.
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command them with what they were able to do, but they would say: 'We are not like you. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has forgiven your past and future sins.' So he would become angry until it was visible on his face. He said: 'Then he would say: By Allah, I am the most knowledgeable of you about Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and the most God-fearing of you in heart.'
Musnad Ahmad 24320Sahih
كَانَ يَوْمُ بُعَاثٍ يَوْمًا قَدَّمَهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِرَسُولِهِ ﷺ، فَقَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَقَدِ افْتَرَقَ مَلَؤُهُمْ، وَقُتِلَتْ سَرَوَاتُهُمْ، وَرَفَقُوا لِلهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلِرَسُولِهِ فِي دُخُولِهِمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ.
✧ The Day of Bu'ath was a day which Allah, Mighty and Majestic, brought forward for His Messenger ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah after their notables had become divided, their leaders had been killed, and they were inclined toward Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and His Messenger regarding their entering into Islam.

كَانَتْ لَنَا حَصِيرَةٌ نَبْسُطُهَا بِالنَّهَارِ وَنَتَحَجَّرُهَا عَلَيْنَا بِاللَّيْلِ، فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً، فَسَمِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ صَلَاتَهُ، فَأَصْبَحُوا، فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّاسِ، فَكَثُرَ النَّاسُ اللَّيْلَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ، فَاطَّلَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: اكْلَفُوا مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا. وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: كَانَ أَحَبُّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَدْوَمَهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ، وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَاةً أَثْبَتَهَا
✧ "We had a mat that we would spread during the day and roll up at night. One night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed and the people in the mosque heard his prayer. So, they gathered and mentioned it to the people, and the number of people increased on the second night. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw them and said, 'Engage in actions that you are capable of, for Allah does not get tired until you get tired.' Aisha said, 'The actions most beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were those that were continuous, even if they were little.' And when he prayed, he would make it firm.' Yazid said, 'We had a mat that we would spread during the day and roll up at night.'"

✧ A Jewish woman entered upon me and said: 'The punishment of the grave is from urine.' I said: 'You lie.' She said: 'Yes, indeed; we cut off from it the cloth and the skin.'
