The wives of Allah's Apostle ﷺ sent Fatima, the daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, to Allah's Apostle ﷺ. She sought permission to get in as he had been lying with me in my mantle. He gave her permission and she said: Messenger of Allah, verily, your wives have sent me to you in order to ask you to observe equity in case of the daughter of Abu Quhafa. She (ʿA'isha) said: I kept quiet. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her (Fatima): O daughter, don't you love whom I love? She said: Yes, (I do). Thereupon he said: I love this one. Fatima then stood up as she heard this from Messenger of Allah ﷺ and went to the wives of Allah's Apostle ﷺ and informed them of what she had said to him and what Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said to her. Thereupon they said to her: We think that you have been of no avail to us. You may again go to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and tell him that his wives seek equity in case of the daughter of Abu Quhafa. Fatima said: By Allah, I will never talk to him about this matter. ʿA'isha (further) reported: The wives of Allah's Apostle ﷺ then sent Zainab b. Jahsh, the wife of Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and she was one who was somewhat equal in rank with me in the eyes of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I have never seen a woman more advanced in religious piety than Zainab, more God-conscious, more truthful, more alive to the ties of blood, more generous and having more sense of self-sacrifice in practical life and having more charitable disposition and thus more close to God, the Exalted, than her. She, however, lost temper very soon but was soon calm. Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted her to enter as she (ʿA'isha) was along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in her mantle, in the same very state when Fatima had entered. She said: Messenger of Allah, your wives have sent me to you seeking equity in case of the daughter of Abu Quhafa. She then came to me and showed harshness to me and I was seeing the eyes of Messenger of Allah ﷺ whether he would permit me. Zainab went on until I came to know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not disapprove if I retorted. Then I exchanged hot words until I made her quiet. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said: She is the daughter of Abu Bakr.

[Machine] "A woman with a tray entered upon me, and then we went out to visit a neighborhood called Hair. Um Mistah stepped on a bone or a thorn, and she said, 'May Mistah be miserable.' I said, 'You spoke badly, a man from the companions of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ .' She said, 'I bear witness that you are one of the neglectful, believing women. Do you know what has been said about you?' I said, 'No, by Allah.' She said, 'When did the Messenger of Allah make a covenant with you?' I said, 'The Messenger of Allah does with his wives what he desires. He starts with the one he loves the most, and then comes to the one he loves less.' She said, 'Indeed, he has described you in such and such way.' I fainted, and the news reached Um Rumman, my mother. When she was informed of the situation, she came to me and carried me to her house. The Messenger of Allah was informed that Aisha had been informed of the situation, so he came to her, entered upon her, and sat beside her. He said, 'O Aisha, indeed Allah has made repentance wide.' This increased me in trouble. While we were in this state, Abu Bakr entered upon me and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what are you waiting for regarding this woman who has betrayed and embarrassed you?' I said, 'This only increased me in trouble.' He said, 'Send for Ali and ask him, "What do you see in Aisha?"' He said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Ask her and do not hide it from me, as Allah wills.' She said, 'Yes, Messenger of Allah, I do testify that you are the Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'I am asking you about something, so do not hide it from me.' She said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, I will inform you of anything you ask me, and I will not hide anything from you, Allah willing.' He said, 'I have been with Aisha, so have you seen anything from her that you dislike?' She said, 'No, by the One who sent you with Prophethood, since I have been with her, I have not seen anything from her that I dislike, except for her going to sleep while forgetting about the dough, and then a sheep came and ate it.' He sent for Usamah and said, 'O Usamah, what do you see in Aisha?' He said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Tell me what you see in her.' He said, 'I think she should be detained until Allah informs you concerning her.' She said, 'There was none present except a little time until the revelation descended upon the Messenger of Allah. The delight was continuously seen on his face. Her excuse came down from the heavens, meaning from Allah. Then the Messenger of Allah said, 'Rejoice, O Aisha! Rejoice, O Aisha! Allah has informed me concerning your excuse.' So, I uttered gratitude to Him and to the Companion."

Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said: She is the daughter of Abu Bakr. (Using translation from Muslim 2442a)   

ﷺ قَالَتْ أَرْسَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ مَعَ عَائِشَةَ فِي مِرْطِهَا فَأَذِنَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي إِلَيْكَ يَسْأَلْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ قَالَتْ وَأَنَا سَاكِتَةٌ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَسْتِ تُحِبِّينَ مَا أُحِبُّ؟ قَالَتْ بَلَى قَالَ فَأَحِبِّي هَذِهِ قَالَتْ فَقَامَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ؓ حِينَ سَمِعَتْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُنَّ بِالَّذِي قَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَ لَهَا مَا نَرَاكِ أَغْنَيْتِ عَنَّا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَارْجِعِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُولِي لَهُ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ يَسْأَلْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ قَالَتْ وَاللهِ لَا أُكَلِّمُهُ فِيهَا أَبَدًا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ فَأَرْسَلْنَ أَزْوَاجُ رسول الله ﷺ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي مِنْهُنَّ وَلَكِنِّي مَا رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً خَيْرًا فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ زَيْنَبَ ؓ أَتْقَى لِلَّهِ وَأَصْدَقَ حَدِيثًا وَأَوْصَلَ لِلرَّحِمِ وَأَعْظَمَ صَدَقَةً وَأَشَدَّ ابْتِذَالًا لِنَفْسِهَا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ الَّذِي تَصَدَّقُ بِهِ وَتَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ مَا عَدَا حِدَّةٍ فِيهَا تُوشِكُ الْفَيْئَةَ فِيهَا قَالَتْ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَ عَائِشَةَ فِي مِرْطِهَا بِمَنْزِلَةِ الَّتِي دَخَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا وَهُوَ بِهَا قَالَتْ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي إِلَيْكَ يَسْأَلْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ وَقَعَتْ بِي فَاسْتَطَالَتْ عَلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَرْقُبُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَرْقُبُ طَرْفَهُ هَلْ يَأْذَنُ لِي فِيهَا؟ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ تَبْرَحْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ حَتَّى عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا وَقَعْتُ بِهَا لَمْ أَنْشَبْ أَنْ أَعْتَبْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَتَبَسَّمَ إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ لَمْ يُقِمْ شَيْخُنَا هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةَ وَلَعَلَّ الصَّوَابَ أَنْ أَثْخَنْتُهَا غَلَبَةً وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى أَنْحَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا
