أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ الْبَلَدِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ يَحْيَىِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِأَزْوَاجِهِ «أَسْرَعُكُنَّ لُحُوقًا بِي أَطْوَلُكُنَّ يَدًا» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَكُنَّا إِذَا اجْتَمَعْنَا فِي بَيْتِ إِحْدَانَا بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَمُدُّ أَيْدِيَنَا فِي الْجِدَارِ نَتَطَاوَلُ فَلَمْ نَزَلْ نَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً قَصِيرَةً وَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَطْوَلَنَا فَعَرَفْنَا حِينَئِذٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ بِطُولِ الْيَدِ الصَّدَقَةَ قَالَ «وَكَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ امْرَأَةٌ صَنَّاعَةَ الْيَدِ فَكَانَتْ تَدْبُغُ وَتَخْرُزُ وَتَصَدَّقُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his wives: "The swiftest of you to join me is the one with the longest hand among you." Aisha said: "After the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, whenever we gathered in the house of one of us, we would stretch our hands against the wall, trying to measure. We continued doing that until Zainab bint Jahsh, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, died. She was a short woman, and she was not the tallest of us. Then we knew that the Prophet ﷺ meant by the length of the hand charity." He said: "Zainab was a woman skilled with her hands; she used to tan, sew, and give charity in the way of Allah ﷻ."
