ʿAbdullah bin Az-Zubair was the most beloved person to ʿAisha excluding the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr, and he in his turn, was the most devoted to her, ʿAisha used not to withhold the money given to her by Allah, but she used to spend it in charity. (ʿAbdullah) bin AzZubair said, " ʿAisha should be stopped from doing so." (When ʿAisha heard this), she said protestingly, "Shall I be stopped from doing so? I vow that I will never talk to ʿAbdullah bin Az-Zubair." On that, Ibn Az-Zubair asked some people from Quraish and particularly the two uncles of Messenger of Allah ﷺ to intercede with her, but she refused (to talk to him). Az-Zuhriyun, the uncles of the Prophet, including ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin ʿAbd Yaghuth and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama said to him, "When we ask for the permission to visit her, enter her house along with us (without taking her leave)." He did accordingly (and she accepted their intercession). He sent her ten slaves whom she manumitted as an expiation for (not keeping) her vow. ʿAisha manumitted more slaves for the same purpose till she manumitted forty slaves. She said, "I wish I had specified what I would have done in case of not fulfilling my vow when I made the vow, so that I might have done it easily."
