ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنِ الْهِجْرَانِ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ

[Machine] "In a sale or a gift, Aisha gave it, and I swear by Allah, she said, 'Either Aisha will finish or I will stone her.' Aisha said when she heard that, 'Indeed, I have made a vow to Allah that I will never speak to Ibn Zubair.' So when Ibn Zubair pleaded with her during her prolonged migration to him, she said, 'By Allah, I will not intercede for him with anyone, nor will I break my vow that I made forever.' And when this continued for a long time with Ibn Zubair, Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Abdul Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin Abdi Yaghuth, who were from the Banu Zuhrah tribe, spoke to him and said, 'We swear by Allah that we will not enter upon Aisha unless you allow us, as it is not permissible for her to make a vow regarding our relationship.' So Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Abdul Rahman bin Al-Aswad went along with Abdullah bin Zubair, and they covered themselves with their cloaks until they sought permission to enter upon Aisha. And they said, 'Peace be upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Can we come in, O Mother of the Believers?' Aisha said, 'Enter.' And they said, 'All of us?' She said, 'Yes, all of you.' And Aisha did not know that Ibn Zubair was with them. So when they entered, Ibn Zubair broke through the veil and entered upon Aisha and embraced her, and he began to beg her and cry. And Al-Miswar and Abdul Rahman also pleaded with Aisha and said to her, 'Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade what you did, and it is not permissible for a Muslim to abandon his brother for more than three days.' When they persisted in reminding Aisha of this, she began to cry and remind them, and she said, 'I have made a vow, and the vow is severe.' And they continued with her until she spoke to Ibn Zubair, and then she released him from his vow. This involved the freeing of forty slaves. And even after she had released him from his vow, she continued to weep until her tears soaked her veil."

[Machine] In a sale or donation she made, Aisha said, "By Allah, I will never speak to Ibn Zubayr again, ever. Abdullah ibn Zubayr interceded on his behalf when her seclusion with him became prolonged. Aisha said, "By Allah, I will not intercede for anyone in this matter, nor will I break the vow I made. When this went on for a long time, the Mawsur ibn Makhrama and Abdul Rahman ibn Al-Aswad ibn Abd Yaghuth, both of whom belonged to the tribe of Zuhra, spoke to him. They said, "We adjure you by Allah, unless you let us in to see Aisha, it is not permissible for her to sever ties with me. Mawsur and Abdul Rahman both approached the door of Ibn Zubayr, wrapped in their garments until they sought permission to enter upon Aisha. They said, "Peace be upon the Prophet and the mercy of Allah, may we enter?" Aisha said, "Enter." They said, "All of us, O Mother of the Believers?" She said, "All of you, and Aisha did not know that Ibn Zubayr was with them. When they entered, Ibn Zubayr broke into the curtain and embraced Aisha and began beseeching her and crying. Mawsur and Abdul Rahman also beseeched Aisha, except for what she said to them and accepted from them. They said to her, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade what you have learned about seclusion. It is not permissible for a Muslim to seclude himself from his brother for more than three nights." When they continued to remind and urge Aisha, she began to cry and said, "I made a vow and vows are serious." They persisted until she spoke to Ibn Zubayr and freed forty slaves in fulfillment of her vow. After that, she would often mention her vow and cry until her tears wet her face veil.

(the wife of the Prophet) that she was told that ʿAbdullah bin Az-Zubair (on hearing that she was selling or giving something as a gift) said, "By Allah, if ʿAisha does not give up this, I will declare her incompetent to dispose of her wealth." I said, "Did he (ʿAbdullah bin Az-Zubair) say so?" They (people) said, "Yes." ʿAisha said, "I vow to Allah that I will never speak to Ibn Az-Zubair." When this desertion lasted long, ʿAbdullah bin Az-Zubair sought intercession with her, but she said, "By Allah, I will not accept the intercession of anyone for him, and will not commit a sin by breaking my vow." When this state of affairs was prolonged on Ibn Az-Zubair (he felt it hard on him), he said to Al- Miswar bin Makhrama and ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abu Yaghuth, who were from the tribe of Bani Zahra, "I beseech you, by Allah, to let me enter upon ʿAisha, for it is unlawful for her to vow to cut the relation with me." So Al-Miswar and ʿAbdur-Rahman, wrapping their sheets around themselves, asked ʿAisha's permission saying, "Peace and Allah's Mercy and Blessings be upon you! Shall we come in?" ʿAisha said, "Come in." They said, "All of us?" She said, "Yes, come in all of you," not knowing that Ibn Az- Zubair was also with them. So when they entered, Ibn Az-Zubair entered the screened place and got hold of ʿAisha and started requesting her to excuse him, and wept. Al-Miswar and ʿAbdur Rahman also started requesting her to speak to him and to accept his repentance. They said (to her), "The Prophet ﷺ forbade what you know of deserting (not speaking to your Muslim Brethren), for it is unlawful for any Muslim not to talk to his brother for more than three nights (days)." So when they increased their reminding her (of the superiority of having good relation with Kith and kin, and of excusing others' sins), and brought her down to a critical situation, she started reminding them, and wept, saying, "I have made a vow, and (the question of) vow is a difficult one." They (Al-Miswar and ʿAbdur-Rahman) persisted in their appeal till she spoke with ʿAbdullah bin Az- Zubair and she manumitted forty slaves as an expiation for her vow. Later on, whenever she remembered her vow, she used to weep so much that her veil used to become wet with her tears. (Using translation from Bukhārī 6073)  

عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ طُفَيْلٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَخِي عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لِأُمِّهَا أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ فِي بَيْعٍ أَوْ عَطَاءٍ أَعْطَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ وَاللهِ لَتَنْتَهِيَنَّ عَائِشَةُ أَوْ لَأَحْجُرَنَّ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ هُوَ قَالَ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَهُوَ لِلَّهِ نَذْرٌ أَنْ لَا أُكَلِّمَ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ كَلِمَةً أَبَدًا فَاسْتَشْفَعَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ إِلَيْهَا حِينَ طَالَتْ هِجْرَتُهَا إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَتْ وَاللهِ لَا أُشَفِّعُ فِيهِ أَحَدًا أَبَدًا وَلَا أَحْنَثُ نَذْرِي الَّذِي نَذَرْتُ أَبَدًا فَلَمَّا طَالَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ كَلَّمَ الْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ وَهُمَا مِنْ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا أَنْشُدُكُمَا اللهَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلْتُمَانِي عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ لَهَا أَنْ تَنْذِرَ قَطِيعَتِي فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِ الْمِسْوَرُ بْنُ مَخْرَمَةَ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ مُشْتَمِلَيْنِ عَلَيْهِ بِأَرْدِيَتِهِمَا حَتَّى اسْتَأْذَنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَا السَّلَامُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ أَنَدْخُلُ؟ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ادْخُلُوا قَالُوا كُلُّنَا يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمِ ادْخُلُوا كُلُّكُمْ وَلَا تَعْلَمُ عَائِشَةُ أَنَّ مَعَهُمَا ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا دَخَلَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ الْحِجَابَ فَاعْتَنَقَ عَائِشَةَ وَطَفِقَ يُنَاشِدُهَا وَيَبْكِي وَطَفِقَ الْمِسْوَرُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يُنَاشِدَانِ عَائِشَةَ إِلَّا مَا كَلَّمَتْهُ وَقَبِلَتْ مِنْهُ وَيَقُولَانِ «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَمَّا قَدْ عَلِمْتِ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثِ لَيَالٍ» فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرُوا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ التَّذْكِرَةَ وَالتَّحْرِيجِ طَفِقَتْ تُذَكِّرُهُمْ وَتَبْكِي وَتَقُولُ إِنِّي قَدْ نَذَرْتُ وَالنَّذْرُ شَدِيدٌ فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا بِهَا حَتَّى كَلَّمْتِ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ فَأَعْتَقَتْ فِي نَذْرَهَا أَرْبَعِينَ رَقَبَةً ثُمَّ كَانَتْ تَذْكُرُ نَذْرَهَا ذَلِكَ بَعْدَمَا أَعْتَقَتْ أَرْبَعِينَ رَقَبَةً وَتَبْكِي حَتَّى تَبُلَّ دُمُوعُهَا خِمَارَهَا  

[Machine] Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, told me that Abdullah bin Zubair said about a sale or a gift that Aisha gave him, "By Allah, Aisha will either stop or I will stone her." She asked, "Is this what he said?" They replied, "Yes." She said, "He has made a vow to Allah that he will never speak to Ibn Zubair again." When Ibn Zubair's migration became lengthy, Ibn Musawir bin Makhrama and Abdul Rahman bin Aswad bin Abd Yaghooth, both of whom were from the Banu Zuhrah tribe, spoke to him. They said, "We swear by Allah, we will not enter upon Aisha unless you allow us." Aisha told them to enter. They asked, "May we all enter, O Mother of the Believers?" She replied, "Yes, all of you enter and make sure Aisha doesn't know that Ibn Zubair is with you." When they entered, Ibn Zubair entered the curtain and embraced Aisha. He trembled and she tried to console him. Ibn Musawir bin Makhrama and Abdul Rahman bin Aswad also tried to console Aisha and begged her, "For the sake of Allah, speak to him and accept his apology." She accepted his apology. They told her that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had forbidden migration, as she knew, and said, "It is not permissible for a Muslim to abandon his brother for more than three nights." When they persisted with Aisha, reminding and urging her, she trembled, reminded them, and wept, saying, "I made a vow, and a vow is a serious matter." They did not stop until she spoke to Ibn Zubair. Then she freed forty slaves as part of her vow. After she had freed the forty slaves, she would mention her vow and weep until her tears wet her veil.
