[Machine] A woman entered upon Aisha, the wife of Uthman bin Mazh'un, and I think her name was Khawla bint Hakeem. She spoke to Aisha, who was wearing a plain garment, and I asked her, "What is your problem?" She said, "My husband stays awake at night and fasts during the day." Then the Prophet ﷺ entered, and Aisha mentioned this to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met Uthman and said, "O Uthman, monasticism has not been prescribed for us. So what is the matter with you? By Allah, I fear Allah more than you do, and I observe His limits more than you do."

دَخَلَتْ امْرَأَةُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ أَحْسِبُ اسْمَهَا خَوْلَةَ بِنْتَ حَكِيمٍ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَهِيَ بَاذَّةُ الْهَيْئَةِ فَسَأَلْتُهَا مَا شَأْنُكِ؟ فَقَالَتْ زَوْجِي يَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ وَيَصُومُ النَّهَارَ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ عَائِشَةُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَلَقِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ يَاعُثْمَانُ إِنَّ الرَّهْبَانِيَّةَ لَمْ تُكْتَبْ عَلَيْنَا أَفَمَا لَكَ فِيَّ أُسْوَةٌ فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي أَخْشَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَحْفَظُكُمْ لِحُدُودِهِ

[Machine] A woman named Khawla bint Hakeem, who was seeking a meeting with Aisha, entered the home of Uthman ibn Mazh'un while Aisha was in her plain attire. Aisha asked her, "What is your concern?" She replied, "My husband stays awake during the night and fasts during the day." Prophet Muhammad ﷺ entered and Aisha mentioned this to him. The Prophet ﷺ then met Uthman ibn Mazh'un and said, "O Uthman, monasticism has not been prescribed for us. What do you say about a good example for yourself? By Allah, I fear Allah for your sake and safeguard you within His limits."

[Machine] A woman named Khawla bint Hakim, entered the presence of Aisha, the wife of Uthman bin Mazh'un, while she was fasting. Khawla asked Aisha, "What is the matter with you?" Aisha replied, "My husband stands in prayer at night and fasts during the day." The Prophet ﷺ then entered and Aisha mentioned this to him. The Prophet ﷺ sought out Uthman and said to him, "O Uthman, we were not commanded to practice monasticism. However, your example is commendable and by Allah, I fear Allah the most among you and I am the most obedient to His boundaries."
