وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى أَيْضًا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، ثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ؓ، قَالَتْ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِي، وَكَانَ بِيَدِهِ سِوَاكٌ، فَدَعَا بِوَصِيفَةٍ لَهُ - أَوْ لَهَا - حَتَّى اسْتَبَانَتِ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَخَرَجَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ ؓ إِلَى الْبَرَازِ، فَوَجَدَتِ الْوَصِيفَةَ وَهِيَ تَلْعَبُ بِبَهْمَةٍ، فَقَالَتْ: أَلَا أَرَاكِ تَلْعَبِينَ بِهَذِهِ الْبَهْمَةِ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدْعُوكِ، فَقَالَتْ: لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا سَمِعْتُكَ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: لَوْلَا خَشْيَةُ الْقَوَدِ لَأَوْجَعْتُكِ بِهَذَا السِّوَاكِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in my house, and he had a toothstick in his hand. He called a young slave girl of his — or hers — until anger became apparent in his face. Umm Salamah ؓ went out to the open area and found the girl playing with a lamb. She said: "Do I not see you playing with this lamb while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is calling you?" She said: "No, by the One who sent you with the truth, I did not hear you." He ﷺ said: "Were it not for the fear of retaliation, I would have caused you pain with this toothstick."
