[Machine] He said, "The wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him for financial support, but he did not have anything to give them. So, they approached Abu Bakr and asked for permission to see him, but he did not grant them permission. Then, they approached Umar and asked for permission to see him, but he also did not grant them permission. After that, they sought permission again and were granted permission. They found him between his two wives, and Umar said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, the daughter of Zaid asked me for financial support, so I approached her or something like that, and he intended to make him laugh. So, he laughed until his teeth were visible and said, 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, nothing kept me away except this.' So, they both stood up and took him by their hands, and they said, 'Do you ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for something he does not have?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited them from doing so, and they said, 'We will not return.' At that point, the Revelation of choice descended."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَأَلْنَهُ النَّفَقَةَ فَلَمْ يُوَافِقْ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى أَحْجَزْنَهُ فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ عُمَرُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُذِنَ لَهُمَا وَوَجَدَاهُ بَيْنَهُنَّفَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ ابْنَةَ زَيْدٍ سَأَلَتْنِي النَّفَقَةَ فَوَجَأْتُهَا أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ وَأَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يُضْحِكَهُ فَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ وَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا حَبَسَنِي غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ فَقَامَا إِلَى ابْنَتَيْهِمَا فَأَخَذَا بِأَيْدِيهِمَا فَقَالَا أَتَسْأَلَانِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ؟ فَنَهَاهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالتَا لَا نَعُودُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ نَزَلَ التَّخْيِيرُ
