أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحِرَّانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ فِرَاسٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ
أَنَّ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ اجْتَمَعْنَ عِنْدَهُ فَقُلْنَ أَيُّنَا أَسْرَعُ لُحُوقَا بِكَ؟ قَالَ «أَطْوَلُكُنَّ يَدًا» فَأَخَذْنَ قَصَبَةً فَجَعَلْنَ يَذْرَعْنَهَا وَكَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ أَسْرَعَهُنَّ بِهِ لُحُوقًا وَكَانَتْ أَطْوَلَهُنَّ يَدًا فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الصَّدَقَةِ

✧ The wives of the Prophet ﷺ gathered with him and said: "Which of us will be the quickest to join you?" He said: "The one with the longest hand." So they took a stick and began measuring their forearms, and Sawdah was the quickest to join him, and she had the longest hand, and that was because of her abundant charity.
