ذِكْرُ تَمْثِيلِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ الْمُتَصَدِّقَ الْكَثِيرَ بِطُولِ الْيَدِ

[Machine] The wives of the Prophet ﷺ gathered around him, and not one of them left. One of them said, "O Messenger of Allah, which one of us is the fastest in reaching you?" He replied, "The one with the longest hand." So they started grabbing a stick, trying to reach it. Soudah bint Zam'ah grabbed it, but she died. She used to give a lot in charity, so we thought that when he said the one with the longest hand, he meant in giving charity.  

أَنَّ نِسَاءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ اجْتَمَعْنَ عِنْدَهُ لَمْ تُغَادِرْ مِنْهُنَّ وَاحِدَةٌ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيَّتُنَا أَسْرَعُ بِكَ لُحُوقًا؟ فَقَالَ «أَطْوَلُكُنَّ يَدًا» قَالَ فَأَخَذْنَ قَصَبَةً يَتَذَارَعْنَهَا فَمَاتَتْ سَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ وَكَانَتْ كَثِيرَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَطْوَلُكُنَّ يَدًا بِالصَّدَقَةِ
