[Machine] The Prophet's wives gathered around him one day and said, "O Prophet of Allah, which one of us is the fastest in giving charity?" He replied, "The one among you with the longest hand." So we all took a reed and measured our arms. Soodah bint Zam'a proved to have the longest arm among us. She said, "The Prophet ﷺ passed away and I became the fastest in giving charity." Later, we realized that the length of her hand was due to always giving charity. She was a woman who loved to give charity. Affaan said, "Once she vowed to give a reed that we could measure our arms with."
اجْتَمَعَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عِنْدَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَقُلْنَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَيَّتُنَا أَسْرَعُ بِكَ لُحُوقًا؟ فَقَالَ أَطْوَلُكُنَّ يَدًا فَأَخَذْنَا قَصَبًا فَذَرَعْنَاهَا فَكَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ أَطْوَلَنَا ذِرَاعًا فَقَالَتْ تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَكَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ أَسْرَعَنَا بِهِ لُحُوقًا فَعَرَفْنَا بَعْدُ إِنَّمَا كَانَ طُولُ يَدِهَا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ وَكَانَتْ امْرَأَةً تُحِبُّ الصَّدَقَةَ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ مَرَّةً قَصَبَةً نَذْرَعُهَا
