ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمَرْءَ مُبَاحٌ لَهُ إِذَا كَانَ تَحْتَهُ نِسْوَةٌ جَمَاعَةٌ وَجَعَلَتْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ يَوْمَهَا لِصَاحِبَتِهَا أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ لِهَذِهِ دُونَ تِلْكَ

[Machine] "I have never seen a woman whom I love more than to be in her place, other than Sauda bint Zam'a, from a woman who possesses sharpness. But when she grew older, she offered her day to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for Aisha. She said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have made my day from you for Aisha.' He ﷺ said, 'And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to divide his time between Aisha and Sauda, two days for her and one day for Sauda.'"  

ابن حبّان:٤٢١١أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

مَا رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أكُونَ فِي مِسْلَاخِهَا مِنْ سَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زَمْعَةَ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ فِيهَا حِدَةٌ فَلَمَّا كَبِرَتْ جَعَلَتْ يَوْمَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ جَعَلْتُ يَوْمِي مِنْكَ لِعَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ «وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْسِمُ لِعَائِشَةَ يَوْمَيْنِ يَوْمَهَا وَيَوْمَ سَوْدَةَ»

muslim:1463aZuhayr b. Ḥarb > Jarīr > Hishām b. ʿUrwah from his father > ʿĀʾishah > Mā Raʾayt Āmraʾah Aḥab Ila

Never did I find any woman more loving to me than Sauda bint Zam'a. I wished I could be exactly like her who was passionate. As she became old, she had made over her day (which she had to spend) with Messenger of Allah ﷺ to 'A'isha. She said: I have made over my day with you to 'A'isha. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ allotted two days to 'A'isha, her own day (when it was her turn) and that of Sauda.  

مسلم:١٤٦٣aحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ

أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي مِسْلاَخِهَا مِنْ سَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زَمْعَةَ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ فِيهَا حِدَّةٌ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا كَبِرَتْ جَعَلَتْ يَوْمَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِعَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ جَعَلْتُ يَوْمِي مِنْكَ لِعَائِشَةَ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْسِمُ لِعَائِشَةَ يَوْمَيْنِ يَوْمَهَا وَيَوْمَ سَوْدَةَ
