قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، ثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ الْمَكِّيُّ - وَهُوَ الْقَدَّاحُ - عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ قَالَ:
كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ لَا تَزَالُ تَرَى جِنَّانًا فِي بَيْتِهَا فَأَمَرَتْ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ، فَأُتِيَتْ فِي النَّوْمِ فَقِيلَ لَهَا: لِمَ قَتَلْتِ عَبْدَ اللهِ الْمُسْلِمَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: لَوْ كَانَ مُسْلِمًا مَا اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِغَيْرِ إِذَنٍ، فَقِيلَ لَهَا: أَمَا إِنَّكِ قَدْ عَلِمْتِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَطَّلِعُ إِلَّا حِينَ تَجْمَعِينَ عَلَيْكِ ثِيَابَكِ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ بِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا

✧ 'A'ishah ؓ kept seeing a snake in her house, so she ordered it to be killed. She was approached in a dream and told: 'Why did you kill 'Abd Allah the Muslim?' She said: 'If he had been a Muslim, he would not have looked upon the wives of the Prophet ﷺ without permission.' It was said to her: 'But you knew that he would only look when you had gathered your clothes around you.' When morning came, she gave twelve thousand (dirhams) in charity.
