al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 7831

Translation

✧ Some meat was given to me as a gift, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered me to send some of it to Zaynab. I sent it to her, but she returned it. He said, “Give her more.” I gave her more, but she returned it. He said, “I adjure you, will you not give her more?” I gave her more, but she returned it. Jealousy entered me, and I said, “She has humiliated you.” He said, “You and she are too insignificant in the sight of Allah for Him to humiliate me through any of you. I swear I will not enter upon you for a month.” He stayed away from us for twenty-nine days, then entered upon us on the evening of the thirtieth. She said, “You swore not to enter for a month.” He said, “A month is like this, and a month is like this,” and he spread his hands apart, and in the third he held back his thumb.
