That during the Mina days, Abu Bakr came to her, while there where two girls with her, beating drums, and the Prophet ﷺ was (lying) covering himself with his garment. Abu Bakr rebuked the two girls, but the Prophet ﷺ uncovered his face and said, "O Abu Bakr! Leave them, for these are the days of Id (festival)." Those days were the days of Mina-. ʿAisha added, "I was being screened by the Prophet ﷺ while I was watching the Ethiopians playing in the Mosque. ʿUmar rebuked them, but the Prophet ﷺ said, "Leave them, O Bani Arfida! Play. (for) you are safe."

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا جَارِيَتَانِ فِي أَيَّامِ مِنًى تُدَفِّفَانِ وَتَضْرِبَانِ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ مُتَغَشٍّ بِثَوْبِهِ فَانْتَهَرَهُمَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَكَشَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ دَعْهُمَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَإِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ عِيدٍ وَتِلْكَ الأَيَّامُ أَيَّامُ مِنًى وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَسْتُرُنِي وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَزَجَرَهُمْ {عُمَرُ} فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ دَعْهُمْ أَمْنًا بَنِي أَرْفَدَةَ يَعْنِي مِنَ الأَمْنِ

The Prophet ﷺ was screening me with his Rida' (garment covering the upper part of the body) while I was looking at the Ethiopians who were playing in the courtyard of the mosque. (I continued watching) till I was satisfied. So you may deduce from this event how a little girl (who has not reached the age of puberty) who is eager to enjoy amusement should be treated in this respect.

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا الَّذِي أَسْأَمُ فَاقْدُرُوا قَدْرَ الْجَارِيَةِ الْحَدِيثَةِ السِّنِّ الْحَرِيصَةِ عَلَى اللَّهْوِ

Abu Bakr, leave them alone for these are the days of 'Id. And 'A'isha said: I recapitulate to my mind the fact that once the Messenger of Allah ﷺ screened me with his mantle and I saw the sports of the Abyssinians, and I was only a girl, and so you can well imagine how a girl of tender age is fond of watching the sport.

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا جَارِيَتَانِ فِي أَيَّامِ مِنًى تُغَنِّيَانِ وَتَضْرِبَانِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُسَجًّى بِثَوْبِهِ فَانْتَهَرَهُمَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَكَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْهُ وَقَالَ دَعْهُمَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَإِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ عِيدٍ وَقَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ وَأَنَا جَارِيَةٌ فَاقْدِرُوا قَدْرَ الْجَارِيَةِ الْعَرِبَةِ الْحَدِيثَةِ السِّنِّ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon her and there were two girls with her who were beating the duff. Abu Bakr scolded them, but the Prophet ﷺ said: "Leave them, for every people has an 'Eid."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا جَارِيَتَانِ تَضْرِبَانِ بِدُفَّيْنِ فَانْتَهَرَهُمَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ دَعْهُنَّ فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ عِيدًا

"I remember the Messenger of Allah ﷺ covering me with his Rida' while I was watching the Ethiopians playing in the masjid, until I got bored. So you should understand the keenness of young girls to play."

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا أَسْأَمُ فَاقْدُرُوا قَدْرَ الْجَارِيَةِ الْحَدِيثَةِ السِّنِّ الْحَرِيصَةِ عَلَى اللَّهْوِ

Entered upon her and there were two girls with her beating the duff and singing, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was covered with his garment. He uncovered his face and said: "Let them be there, O Abu Bakr, for these are the days of 'Eid." Those were the days of Mina and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in Al-Madinah on that day."

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا جَارِيَتَانِ تَضْرِبَانِ بِالدُّفِّ وَتُغَنِّيَانِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُسَجًّى بِثَوْبِهِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى مُتَسَجٍّ ثَوْبَهُ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ دَعْهُمَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ عِيدٍ وَهُنَّ أَيَّامُ مِنًى وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ

[Machine] That Abu Bakr entered upon her and had two servant girls with him during the days of Mina, who were playing the drums. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was reclining on his garment, so he scolded them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then uncovered his face and said, "Leave them, O Abu Bakr, for these are the days of celebration." Aisha also said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ covering me with his garment while I watched the Abyssinians playing in the mosque until I became bored, and then I would sit and estimate the age of the young servant girl who was avidly interested in playing."

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا جَارِيَتَانِ فِي أَيَّامِ مِنًى تَضْرِبَانِ بِدُفَّيْنِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُسَجّىً عَلَيْهِ بِثَوْبِهِ فَانْتَهَرَهُمَا فَكَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَجْهَهُ فَقَالَ دَعْهُنَّ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَإِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ عِيدٍ وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا أَسْأَمُ فَأَقْعُدُ فَاقْدُرُوا قَدْرَ الْجَارِيَةِ الْحَدِيثَةِ السِّنِّ الْحَرِيصَةِ عَلَى اللهْوِ

BY Allah, I remember the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing on the door of my apartment screening me with his mantle enabling me to see the sport of the Abyssinians as they played with their daggers in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upom him). He (the Holy Prophet) kept standing for my sake till I was satiated and then I went back; and thus you can well imagine how long a girl tender of age who is fond of sports (could have watched it). (Using translation from Muslim 892d)

وَاللهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُومُ عَلَى بَابِ حُجْرَتِي وَالْحَبَشَةُ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ لِكَيْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى لَعِبِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ مِنْ أَجْلِي حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا الَّتِي أَنْصَرِفُ فَاقْدُرُوا قَدْرَ الْجَارِيَةِ الْحَدِيثَةِ السِّنِّ الْحَرِيصَةِ عَلَى اللهْوِ

[Machine] I have seen the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , standing at the door of my room while the Abyssinians played with their spears in the mosque, and the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , would cover me with his cloak so that I could watch their play. He would stand up for me until I had finished watching, and then he would leave. May you measure, O son of my sister, the quantity of the young, eager slave girl's talk about frivolous matters.

«لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُومُ عَلَى بَابِ حُجْرَتِي وَالْحَبَشَةُ يَلْعَبُونَ بِحِرَابِهِمْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ لِكَيْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى لَعِبِهِمْ فَيَقُومُ مِنْ أَجْلِي قَائِمًا حَتَّى كُنْتُ أَكُونُ أَنَا أَنْصَرِفُ فَاقْدُرْ يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي قَدْرَ الْجَارِيَةِ الْحَدِيثَةِ السِّنِّ الْحَرِيصَةِ عَلَى اللهْوِ»

[Machine] That Abu Bakr entered upon her and she had two servant girls with her in the days of Mina, and they were playing the drums. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was resting in his garment, so Abu Bakr scolded them. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ uncovered his face and said, "Leave them, O Abu Bakr, for these are the days of celebration."

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا جَارِيَتَانِ فِي أَيَّامِ مِنًى تُغَنِّيَانِ تَضْرِبَانِ بِدُفَّيْنِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُسَجًّى بِثَوْبِهِ فَانْتَهَرَهُمَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَكَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «دَعْهُمَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَإِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ عِيدٍ»

The Prophet ﷺ was screening me with his Rida' (garment covering the upper part of the body) while I was looking at the Ethiopians who were playing in the courtyard of the mosque. (I continued watching) till I was satisfied. So you may deduce from this event how a little girl (who has not reached the age of puberty) who is eager to enjoy amusement should be treated in this respect. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5236)

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا أَسْأَمُ فَاقْدُرُوا قَدْرَ الْجَارِيَةِ الْحَدِيثَةِ السِّنِّ الْحَرِيصَةِ عَلَى اللهْوِ»

[Machine] Abu Bakr As-Siddiq entered (to Aisha) and she had two slave girls with her. They were singing, playing the tambourine, and clapping their hands. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came in, wrapped in his garment (to hide himself). Abu Bakr rebuked them, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ uncovered his face and said: "Leave them alone, O Abu Bakr, for these are the days of 'Eid and the days of Mina." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in Madinah at that time. 'A'isha said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ covering me with his garment, while I was watching the Abyssinians playing in the mosque, and I was a young girl."

أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ ؓ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا جَارِيَتَانِ فِي أَيَّامِ مِنًى تُغَنِّيَانِ وَتُدَفِّفَانِ وَتَضْرِبَانِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُتَغَشٍّ بِثَوْبِهِ فَانْتَهَرَهُنَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَكَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ دَعْهُمَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَإِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ عِيدٍ وَتِلْكَ أَيَّامُ مِنًى وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتُرُنِي بِثَوْبِهِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَأَنَا جَارِيَةٌ
