ahmad:24298Ibn Numayr > Hishām from his father > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] I used to play with the girls, and my friends would come to play with me. But when they saw the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , they would hide from him. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , would then bring them to me, and they would play with me.  

أحمد:٢٤٢٩٨حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كُنْتُ أَلْعَبُ بِالْبَنَاتِ وَيَجِيءُ صَوَاحِبِيفَيَلْعَبْنَ مَعِي فَإِذَا رَأَيْنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَقَمَّعْنَ مِنْهُ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُدْخِلُهُنَّ عَلَيَّ فَيَلْعَبْنَ مَعِي

bukhari:6130Muḥammad > Abū Muʿāwiyah > Hishām from his father > ʿĀʾishah

I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for ʿAisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fath-ul-Bari page 143, Vol.13)

كُنْتُ أَلْعَبُ بِالْبَنَاتِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَكَانَ لِي صَوَاحِبُ يَلْعَبْنَ مَعِي فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ يَتَقَمَّعْنَ مِنْهُ فَيُسَرِّبُهُنَّ إِلَىَّ فَيَلْعَبْنَ مَعِي

'A'isha reported that she used to play with dolls in the presence of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and when her playmates came to her they left (the house) because they felt shy of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, whereas Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent them to her. (Using translation from Muslim 2440a)
