   ✧ We attended with Ibn 'Abbas the funeral of Maymunah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, at Sarif. Ibn 'Abbas said: "This is Maymunah. When you lift her bier, do not shake it or jolt it, for the Messenger of God ﷺ had nine wives with him; he used to divide his time among eight, and one he did not apportion to."

   ✧ 'A'ishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ was commanded to give his wives the choice, he began with me and said: 'I am going to mention something to you, but you need not hasten until you consult your parents.' She said: 'He knew that my parents would not command me to part with him.' She said: Then he recited this verse: {O Prophet, say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and release you with a kind release} [al-Ahzab 28]. I said: 'About which of this should I consult my parents? For I desire God and His Messenger and the Final Abode.' 'A'ishah said: Then the wives of the Prophet ﷺ did the same as I did, and that was not when the Messenger of God ﷺ said it to them and they chose him, a divorce, because they chose him.

In the Jahiliyyah, whoever adopted a man, the people called him by his [adoptive father's] name and he inherited his estate, until Allah sent down concerning that: {Call them by their fathers; that is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers, then they are your brothers in religion and your clients.} [al-Ahzab 5]. So they were returned to their fathers. Whoever's father was not known was a client and a brother in religion.

    ✧ She was the wife of Abu 'Amr b. Hafs. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed 'Ali b. Abi Talib over Yemen, he went out with him and sent her a divorce, which was the remainder of her divorce, and al-Harith b. Hisham and 'Ayyash b. Abi Rabi'ah ordered maintenance for her. She sent, she claimed, to al-Harith and 'Ayyash asking them for what her husband had ordered for her. They said: By Allah, she has no maintenance upon us unless she is pregnant, and she has no right to stay in our dwelling except with our permission. She claimed that she came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him, and he confirmed what they said. Fatimah said: Where shall I move, O Messenger of Allah? He said: 'Move to the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, the blind man whom Allah named in His Book.' Fatimah said: So I observed my waiting period at his house. He was a man whose sight had gone, and I would put down my garments in his presence, until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ married her to Usamah b. Zayd. Marwan disapproved of that and said: I have not heard this hadith from anyone before you, and I will adhere to the established practice that we found the people upon.

Rabi'ah, while he was a client of a woman from the Ansar, just as the Prophet ﷺ adopted Zayd. Everyone who adopted a man in the Jahiliyyah, the people called him by his [adoptive father's] name and he inherited from his estate, until Allah sent down concerning that: {Call them by their fathers; that is more just in the sight of Allah. But if you do not know their fathers, then they are your brothers in religion and your clients.} [al-Ahzab 5]. So whoever's father was not known was a client and a brother in religion.

     ✧ About the saying of Allah ﷻ {And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of women} [al-Nisa 3], she said, “O son of my sister, this is about the orphan girl who is in the care of her guardian and shares in his wealth, and her wealth and beauty please him, so her guardian wants to marry her without being just in her dowry, giving her the like of what another would give her. They were forbidden to marry them unless they deal justly with them and give them the highest of their customary dowries. So they were commanded to marry other women who please them besides them.” Urwah said: Aishah said, “Then the people later sought a ruling from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ concerning them, so Allah revealed {And they seek your ruling concerning women. Say: Allah gives you a ruling about them} [al-Nisa 127] up to His saying {and you desire to marry them} [al-Nisa 127].” Aishah said, “And what Allah, the Exalted, mentioned that is recited in the Book is the first verse in which is {And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of women}.” Aishah said, “And the saying of Allah in the other verse {and you desire to marry them} [al-Nisa 127] refers to the desire of one of you to turn away from his orphan girl who is in his care when she has little wealth and beauty. They were forbidden to marry those orphan women whose wealth they desired except with justice, because of their desire to turn away from them.”

He said: 'Look, even if it is an iron ring.' He went and returned and said: 'No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, not even an iron ring, but this waist-wrapper of mine.' Sahl said: 'He had no upper garment.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'What will you do with your waist-wrapper? If you wear it, she will have nothing of it, and if she wears it, you will have nothing of it.' The man sat down until his sitting became long, then he stood up.

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach us the istikhara in all matters, just as he used to teach us a surah from the Quran.

For You have power and I have none, and You know and I do not know, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, and my ultimate destiny—or he said: in my immediate and my deferred affairs—then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and bless me in it. And if You know that this matter is evil for me in my religion, my livelihood, and my ultimate destiny—or he said: in my immediate and my deferred affairs—then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me good wherever it may be, then make me content with it.' He said: And he names his need.
