٤١۔ كِتَابُ الْقَسَمِ وَالنُّشُوزِ
I also saw the wedding feast of Zainab, and he (the Holy Prophet) served bread and meat to the people, and made them eat to their heart's content, and he (the Holy Prophet) sent me to call people, and as he was free (from the ceremony) he stood up and I followed him. Two persons were left and they were busy in talking and did not get out (of the apartment). He (the Holy Prophet) then proceeded towards (the apartments of) his wives. He greeted with as-Salamu 'alaikum to every one of them and said: Members of the household, how are you? They said: Messenger of Allah, we are in good state 'How do you find your family? He would say: In good state. When he was free from (this work of exchanging greetings) he came back, and I also came back along with him. And as he reached the door, (he found) that the two men were still busy in talking. And when they saw him having returned, they stood up and went out; and by Allah! I do not know whether I had informed him, or there was a revelation to him (to the affect) that they had gone. He (the Holy Prophet) then came back and I also returned along with him, and as he put his step on the threshold of his door he hung a curtain between me and him, and (it was on this occasion) that Allah revealed this verse: (" O you who believe), do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless permission is given to 'you" (xxxiii. 53). (Using translation from Muslim 1428a)
وَلِيمَةَ زَيْنَبَ ؓ فَأُشْبِعَ النَّاسُ خُبْزًا وَلَحْمًا وَكَانَ يَبْعَثُنِي فَأَدْعُو النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَامَ وَتَبِعْتُهُ وَتَخَلَّفَ رَجُلَانِ اسْتَأْنَسَ بِهِمَا الْحَدِيثَ لَمْ يَخْرُجَا فَجَعَلَ يَمُرُّ بِنِسَائِهِ فَيُسَلِّمُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُنَّ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ كَيْفَ أَنْتُنَّ؟ فَيَقُلْنَ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ وَجَدْتَ أَهْلَكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَجَعَ فَرَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْبَابَ إِذَا هُوَ بِالرَّجُلَيْنِ اسْتَأْنَسَ بِهِمَا الْحَدِيثَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيَاهُ قَدْ رَجَعَ قَامَا فَخَرَجَا فَوَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي أَنَا أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَوْ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ بِأَنَّهُمَا قَدْ خَرَجَا فَرَجَعَ وَرَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ رِجْلَيْهِ فِي أُسْكُفَّةِ الْبَابِ أَرْخَى الْحِجَابَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ وَأُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ} [الأحزاب 53] الْآيَةَ
[Machine] He, O son of my sister, was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He would not favor some of us over others in staying with us, and hardly a day would pass without him coming to us and approaching every woman who was not menstruating until he reached the one who was on her day, and he would stay overnight with her. The rest of the narration is mentioned.
لَهُ يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي مُكْثِهِ عِنْدَنَا وَكَانَ قَلَّ يَوْمٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ عَلَيْنَا فَيَدْنُو مِنْ كُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسِيسٍ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الَّتِي هِيَ يَوْمُهَا فَيَبِيتُ عِنْدَهَا وَذَكَرَ بَاقِيَ الْحَدِيثِ
[Machine] "The wife of the Prophet said, There was not a day that would pass but the Messenger of Allah would visit all of us, kissing and touching what is below the navel. When he would reach the wife he would be spending the night with, he would sleep with her."
ؓ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ مَا كَانَ أَوْ قَلَّ يَوْمٌ إِلَّا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَطُوفُ عَلَيْنَا جَمِيعًا فَيُقَبِّلُ وَيَلْمَسُ مَا دُونَ الْوِقَاعِ فَإِذَا جَاءَ إِلَى الَّتِي هُوَ يَوْمُهَا يَبِيتُ عِنْدَهَا
