قَالَ عَبْدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْأَشْعَثِ، بَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عِيَاضٍ، ثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنِي بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ:

إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: « يَا عَائِشَةُ، أَطْعِمِينَا »، قَالَتْ: وَاللهِ مَا عِنْدَنَا طَعَامٌ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: « أَطْعِمِينَا » فَقَالَتْ: وَاللهِ مَا عِنْدَنَا طَعَامٌ. فَقَالَ: « أَطْعِمِينَا » فَقَالَتْ: وَاللهِ مَا عِنْدَنَا طَعَامٌ. فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ الْمُؤْمِنَةَ لَا تَحْلِفُ عَلَى الشَّيْءِ إِنَّهُ مَا هُوَ عِنْدَهَا وَهُوَ عِنْدَهَا، فَقَالَ ﷺ: « وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ أَمُؤْمِنَةٌ هِيَ أَمْ لَا ؟ إِنَّ مَثَلَ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمُؤْمِنَةِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ كَمَثَلِ الْغُرَابِ الْأَعْصَمِ فِي الْغِرْبَانِ، وَإِنَّ النَّارَ خُلِقَتْ لِلسُّفَهَاءِ، وَإِنَّ النِّسَاءَ مِنَ السُّفَهَاءِ، إِلَّا صَاحِبَةَ الْمُشْطِ وَالْمِصْبَاحِ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ entered upon her with Abu Bakr ؓ and said to her: 'O Aishah, feed us.' She said: 'By Allah, we have no food.' He ﷺ said: 'Feed us.' She said: 'By Allah, we have no food.' He said: 'Feed us.' She said: 'By Allah, we have no food.' Abu Bakr ؓ said: 'O Messenger of Allah, a believing woman does not swear about something that it is not with her when it is with her.' He ﷺ said: 'And what makes you know whether she is a believer or not? The example of a believing woman among women is like a white-legged crow among crows. The Fire was created for the foolish, and women are among the foolish, except the woman who has the comb and the lamp.'
