[Machine] I have never been satiated with food after the Prophet ﷺ to the extent that if I wanted to cry, I would have cried. And the family of Muhammad ﷺ never had their fill until their passing.  

مَا شَبِعْتُ بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِنْ طَعَامٍ إِلَّا وَلَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أَبْكِي لَبَكَيْتُ وَمَا شَبِعَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ حَتَّى قُبِضَ  

[Machine] Aisha (may Allah have mercy on her) heard the verse: "So blessed is Allah, the best of all providers" [Al-Tur 27]. So she said, "O Lord! Bestow Your blessings upon me and protect me from the punishment of poisonous things."  

سَمِعَ عَائِشَةَ رَحِمَهَا اللَّهُ {فَمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَوَقَانَا عَذَابَ السَّمُومِ} [الطور 27] فَتَقُولُ رَبِّ مُنَّ عَلَيَّ وَقِنِي عَذَابَ السَّمُومِ  

[Machine] Whoever angers people for the sake of Allah, Allah suffices him; and whoever pleases people by angering Allah, Allah leaves him to the people.  

مَنْ أَسْخَطَ النَّاسَ بِرِضَا اللَّهِ كَفَاهُ النَّاسَ وَمَنْ أَرْضَى النَّاسَ بِسَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَكَلَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى النَّاسِ  

[Machine] Aisha heard reading "And stay in your houses" [Al-Ahzab 33:33][136] and she cried until her veil became wet with tears.  

سَمِعَ عَائِشَةَ تَقْرَأُ {وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ} [الأحزاب 33][136] فَتَبْكِي حَتَّى تَبُلَّ خِمَارَهَا  

[Machine] Aisha, may Allah have mercy on her, wished that I would be a forgotten person.  

عَائِشَةُ رَحِمَهَا اللَّهُ وَدَدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ نَسْيًا مَنْسِيًّا  

[Machine] I wished I were a supported tree; I wished I hadn't been created.  

وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي شَجَرَةٌ أُعَضَّدُ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أُخْلَقْ  

[Machine] Indeed, you are doing the best form of worship, which is humility.  

إِنَّكُمْ تَفْعَلُونَ أَفْضَلَ الْعِبَادَةِ التَّوَاضُعَ  

[Machine] Narrated by Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: "Decrease your sins, for you will not meet Allah with anything better than reducing your sins."  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَحِمَهَا اللَّهُ أَقِلُّوا الذُّنُوبَ؛ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ ﷻ بِشَيْءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ قِلَّةِ الذُّنُوبَ  

[Machine] I saw her dividing seventy thousand while she was repairing her shield.  

رَأَيْتُهَا تُقَسِّمُ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا وَهِيَ تُرَقِّعُ دِرْعَهَا  

[Machine] Aisha wrote to Muawiyah: As for what follows, certainly when a servant commits an act of disobedience towards Allah, his praising amongst the people turns into criticism.  

كَتَبَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا عَمِلَ بِمَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ عَادَ حَامِدُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ ذَامًّا  

[Machine] I wish I were a leaf from this tree.  

يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ وَرَقَةً مِنْ وَرَقِ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ  

[Machine] He had a destiny.  

كَانَ قَدَرًا  

[Machine] To me, O father of Hazar, should I not tell you what the deceased says on his bed? He said, "Yes, please tell me." She said, "Indeed, he calls out to his family and neighbors and to those who carry his bed. Do not be deceived by the world as it has deceived me, and do not let it play with you as it has played with me. For my family did not take any burden from me, and if they were to take an oath today before Allah, they would testify for me." Umm Addarda said, "The world is more enchanting to the heart of the servant than Harut and Marut, and no servant has preferred it except that it has destroyed his cheek."  

لِيَ أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ أَبَا هَزَّارٍ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ مَا يَقُولُ الْمَيِّتُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَتْ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَادِي يَا أَهْلَاهُ وَيَا جِيرَانَاهُ وَيَا حَمَلَةَ سَرِيرَاهُ لَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاغَرَّتْنِي وَلَا تَلْعَبَنَّ بِكُمُ كَمَا لَعِبَتْ بِي فَإِنَّ أَهْلِي لَمْ يَحْمِلُوا عَنِّي مِنْ وِزْرِي شَيْئًا وَلَوْ حَاطُّونَ الْيَوْمَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَحَجُّونِي قَالَتْ أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ الدُّنْيَا أَسْحَرُ لِقَلْبِ الْعَبْدِ مِنْ هَارُوتَ وَمَارُوتَ وَمَا آثَرَهَا عَبْدٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا أَصْرَعَتْ خَدَّهُ  

[Machine] Khadijah, the mother of Muhammad, told me in the year one hundred and twenty-six, she used to come to my father to listen to him and tell us. She said: "Isaac al-Azraq told us, who was told by al-Mas`udi, who said: Awn ibn Abdullah said: We used to sit with Umm ad-Darda and remember Allah in her presence. They said to her, 'Perhaps we have tired you?' She said, 'Do you think that you have tired me? I have sought worship in everything, but I have not found anything that soothes my heart and strengthens my faith more than the gatherings of remembrance.'"  

حَدَّثَتْنِي خَدِيجَةُ أُمُّ مُحَمَّدٍ سَنَةَ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ وَكَانَتْ تَجِيءُ إِلَى أَبِي فَتَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ وَتُحَدِّثُنَا قَالَتْ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ الْأَزْرَقُ حَدَّثَنِي الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كُنَّا نَجْلِسُ إِلَى أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ فَنَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ ﷻ عِنْدَهَا فَقَالُوا لَعَلَّنَا قَدْ أَمْلَلْنَاكِ؟ قَالَتْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ أَمْلَلْتُمُونِي فَقَدْ طَلَبْتُ الْعِبَادَةَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَمَا [137] وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْفَى لِصَدْرِي وَلَا أَحْرَى أَنْ أُصِيبَ بِهِ الدِّينَ مِنْ مَجَالِسِ الذِّكْرِ
