[Machine] That Nu'ayh was a scribe whom Umm Salamah, the wife of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , owned (as a slave) or was a slave to a free woman under him, and he divorced her twice and wanted to remarry her, so the wives of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ordered him to go to Uthman ibn Affan to ask him about it. So he went and met him at the staircase while holding the hand of Zaid ibn Thabit, and they both asked him about it and they all replied, "It is forbidden for you, it is forbidden for you."
أَنَّ نُفَيْعًا مُكَاتَبًا كَانَ لِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَوْ عَبْدًا كَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ امْرَأَةٌ حُرَّةٌ وَطَلَّقَهَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا فَأَمَرَهُ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ؓ فَيَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَذَهَبَ فَلَقِيَهُ عِنْدَ الدَّرَجِ آخِذًا بِيَدِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ فَسَأَلَهُمَا فَابْتَدَرَاهُ جَمِيعًا فَقَالَا حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكَ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكَ
