أحمد:٢٦١٩٤حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

سُئِلْتُ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْمَلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ؟ قَالَتْ كَانَ بَشَرًا مِنَ الْبَشَرِ يَفْلِي ثَوْبَهُ وَيَحْلُبُ شَاتَهُ وَيَخْدُمُ نَفْسَهُ

Collected by Ibn Ḥibbān

ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ لَا يَأْنَفَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ الْمُسْتَحْقَرِ فِي بَيْتِهِ بِنَفْسِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَظِيمًا فِي أَعْيُنِ الْبَشَرِ

[Machine] She was asked about the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ actions in his home. She said, "He was nothing but a human among humans. He used to mend his garment, milk his sheep, and serve himself."  

ابن حبّان:٥٦٧٥أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّهَا سُئِلَتْ مَا كَانَ عَمَلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِهِ؟ قَالَتْ «مَا كَانَ إِلَّا بَشَرًا مِنَ الْبَشَرِ كَانَ يَفْلِي ثَوْبَهُ وَيَحْلِبُ شَاتَهُ وَيَخْدُمُ نَفْسَهُ»
