[Machine] Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , sold some of her belongings and said, "Give the remaining payment to the son of my brother, the son of Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah, as I have helped him with it. Then do not speak to me except from behind a barrier." Nabhān (the buyer) began to cry, and Um Salama said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us that if one of you writes to her slave, she should show him what remains of her writing. And when she finishes, she should not speak to him except from behind a barrier. This is how it should be done."  

سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَاعَتْ نَبْهَانَ مُكَاتَبًا لَهَا فَقَالَتِ ادْفَعْ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ كِتَابَتِكَ إِلَى ابْنِ أَخِي ابْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَعَنْتُهُ بِهَا ثُمَّ لَا تُكَلِّمُنِي إِلَّا مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ فَبَكَى نَبْهَانُ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ ؓ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَنَا إِذَا كَاتَبَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ عَبْدَهَا فَلْيَرَهَا مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ كِتَابَتِهِ فَإِذَا قَضَاهَا فَلَا تُكَلِّمْنَ إِلَّا مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ هَكَذَا
