قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، ثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ، قَالَتْ:

خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ، وَأَخْرَجَ مَعَهُ نِسَاءَهُ ؓ. قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ مَتَاعِي فِيهِ خِفَّةٌ، فَكَانَ عَلَى جَمَلٍ نَاجٍ. وَكَانَ مَتَاعُ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ ؓ فِيهِ ثِقَلٌ، وَكَانَ عَلَى جَمَلٍ ثَقَالٍ بَطِيءٍ يَنْتَظِرُ بِالرَّكْبِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « حَوِّلُوا مَتَاعَ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى جَمَلِ صَفِيَّةَ، وَحَوِّلُوا مَتَاعَ صَفِيَّةَ عَلَى جَمَلِ عَائِشَةَ، حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ الرَّكْبُ ». فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ: قُلْتُ: يَا لَمَعَاذَ اللهِ ! غَلَبَتْ هَذِهِ الْيَهُودِيَّةُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ! قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « يَا أُمَّ عَبْدِ اللهِ، إِنَّ مَتَاعَكِ كَانَ فِيهِ خَفٌّ، وَكَانَ مَتَاعُ صَفِيَّةَ فِيهِ ثِقَلٌ، فَأَبْطَأَ الرَّكْبُ، فَحَوَّلْنَا مَتَاعَهَا عَلَى بَعِيرِكِ، وَحَوَّلْنَا مَتَاعَكِ عَلَى بَعِيرِهَا » ! قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: أَلَسْتَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ؟ قَالَتْ: فَتَبَسَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، وَقَالَ: « أَفِيَّ شَكٌّ أَنْتِ يَا أُمَّ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؟ » قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: أَلَسْتَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ؟ فَهَلَّا عَدَلْتَ ؟ وَسَمِعَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ، وَكَانَ فِيهِ غَرْبٌ، أَيْ حِدَّةٌ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَلَطَمَ وَجْهِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « مَهْلًا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ »، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَمَا سَمِعْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « إِنَّ الْغَيْرَى لَا تَنْظُرُ أَسْفَلَ الْوَادِي مِنْ أَعْلَاهُ

✧ I went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Farewell Pilgrimage, and he brought his wives ؓ with him. She said: My baggage was light, so it was on a swift camel. The baggage of Safiyyah bt. Huyayy ؓ was heavy, so it was on a slow, heavy camel that held back the caravan. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Transfer Aishah's baggage onto Safiyyah's camel, and transfer Safiyyah's baggage onto Aishah's camel, so that the caravan can proceed." When I saw that, Aishah ؓ said: I said, "O refuge with Allah! Has this Jewess prevailed over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Umm Abd Allah, your baggage was light, and Safiyyah's baggage was heavy, so the caravan was delayed. We transferred her baggage onto your camel and your baggage onto her camel." She said: I said, "Do you not claim that you are the Messenger of Allah?" She said: The Prophet ﷺ smiled and said, "Are you in doubt about me, O Umm Abd Allah?" She said: I said, "Do you not claim that you are the Messenger of Allah? Then why did you not act justly?" Abu Bakr ؓ heard me, and he had sharpness, that is, a temper. He came to me and slapped my face. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Gently, O Abu Bakr." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you not hear?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A jealous woman cannot see the bottom of the valley from its top."
