I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Suppose you landed in a valley where there is a tree of which something has been eaten and then you found trees of which nothing has been eaten, of which tree would you let your camel graze?" He said, "(I will let my camel graze) of the one of which nothing has been eaten before." (The sub-narrator added: ʿAisha meant that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had not married a virgin besides herself .)

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ نَزَلْتَ وَادِيًا وَفِيهِ شَجَرَةٌ قَدْ أُكِلَ مِنْهَا وَوَجَدْتَ شَجَرًا لَمْ يُؤْكَلْ مِنْهَا فِي أَيِّهَا كُنْتَ تُرْتِعُ بَعِيرَكَ قَالَ فِي الَّذِي لَمْ يُرْتَعْ مِنْهَا تَعْنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَتَزَوَّجْ بِكْرًا غَيْرَهَا

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to me), "You have been shown to me twice in (my) dreams. A man was carrying you in a silken cloth and said to me, 'This is your wife.' I uncovered it; and behold, it was you. I said to myself, 'If this dream is from Allah, He will cause it to come true.' "

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُرِيتُكِ فِي الْمَنَامِ مَرَّتَيْنِ إِذَا رَجُلٌ يَحْمِلُكِ فِي سَرَقَةِ حَرِيرٍ فَيَقُولُ هَذِهِ امْرَأَتُكَ فَأَكْشِفُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ أَنْتِ فَأَقُولُ إِنْ يَكُنْ هَذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ يُمْضِهِ
