حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْخَفَّافُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ثنا عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ثنا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حَبِيبٌ مَوْلَى عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ
أَنَّ نُدْبَةَ مَوْلَاةِ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَظَرَتْ فَإِذَا فِرَاشُهُ مُعْتَزِلٌ عَنْ فِرَاشِ امْرَأَتِهِ بِنْتِ مِشْرَحٍ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَى مَيْمُونَةَ فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا بِرُجُوعِ رِسَالَتِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَتْ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ فِرَاشَهَا مُعْتَزِلًا عَنْ فِرَاشِهِ فَأَظُنُّ بَيْنَهُمَا هِجْرَةً فَقَالَتْ لَهُمَا مَيْمُونَةُ ارْجِعِي إِلَى بِنْتِ مِشْرَحٍ امْرَأَةِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَسَلِيهَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَرَجَعْتُ فَسَأَلْتُهَا فَقَالَتْ مَا بَيْنَنَا هِجْرَةٌ وَلَكِنَّهُ إِذَا طَمِثْتُ عَزَلَ فِرَاشَهُ عَنْ فِرَاشِي فَبَعَثَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ فَتَغَيَّظَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ أَيُ عَبْدَ اللهِ أَتَرْغَبُ عَنْ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَاللهِ «أَنْ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ لَتَأَزَّرُ بِثَوْبٍ مَا يَبْلُغُ أَنْصَافَ فَخْذَيْهَا ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُ جَسَدَهَا»

✧ That the mole of Maymuna, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, looked and saw that his bed was separated from the bed of his wife, the daughter of Mishrah. So she returned to Maymuna and informed her of her return message. Then she said, "I saw his bed separate from mine, so I think there has been a separation between them." Maymuna said to them, "Go back to the wife of Ibn Abbas and ask her about it." So I returned and asked her, and she said, "There is no separation between us, but when I have my period, he separates his bed from mine." Maymuna sent a message to Abdullah expressing her anger towards him, and she said, "O Abdullah, do you prefer to go against the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? By Allah, if a woman from her husbands wears a garment that does not reach the halfway point of her thighs, he can have intimate relations with her."
