(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me when Allah ordered him to give option to his wives. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ started with me, saying, "I am going to mention to you something but you should not hasten (to give your reply) unless you consult your parents.' He knew that my parents would not order me to leave him. Then he said, "Allah says:-- "O Prophet! Say to your wives..." (33.28-29) On that I said to him, "Then why should I consult my parents? Verily, I seek Allah, His Apostle and the Home of the Hereafter."  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ؓ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَهَا حِينَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُخَيِّرَ أَزْوَاجَهُ فَبَدَأَ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا فَلاَ عَلَيْكِ أَنْ تَسْتَعْجِلِي حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ أَبَوَىَّ لَمْ يَكُونَا يَأْمُرَانِي بِفِرَاقِهِ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ} إِلَى تَمَامِ الآيَتَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَفِي أَىِّ هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَىَّ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الآخِرَةَ  

(the wife of the Prophet) when Messenger of Allah ﷺ was ordered to give option to his wives, he started with me, saying, "I am going to mention to you something, but you shall not hasten (to give your reply) unless you consult your parents." The Prophet ﷺ knew that my parents would not order me to leave him. Then he said, "Allah says: 'O Prophet (Muhammad)! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world and its glitter........a great reward." (33.28-29) I said, "Then why I consult my parents? Verily, I seek Allah, His Apostle and the Home of the Hereafter." Then all the other wives of the Prophet ﷺ did the same as I did.  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ لَمَّا أُمِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِتَخْيِيرِ أَزْوَاجِهِ بَدَأَ بِي فَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا فَلاَ عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لاَ تَعْجَلِي حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ قَالَتْ وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ أَبَوَىَّ لَمْ يَكُونَا يَأْمُرَانِي بِفِرَاقِهِ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ قَالَ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا} إِلَى {أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ فَفِي أَىِّ هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَىَّ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الآخِرَةَ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلْتُ  

"When the Messenger of Allah was commanded to give his wives the choice, he started with me and said: 'I am going to say something to you and you do not have to rush (to make a decision) until you consult your parents.'" She said: "He knew that my parents would never tell me to leave him." She said: "Then he recited this Verse: 'O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter, then come! I will make a provision for you and set you free in a handsome manner.' I said: 'Do I need to consult my parents concerning this? I desire Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and His Messenger, and the home of the Hereafter.'" 'Aishah said: "Then the wives of the Prophet all did the same as I did, and that was not counted as a divorce, when the Messenger of Allah gave them the choice and they chose him."  

أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ لَمَّا أُمِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِتَخْيِيرِ أَزْوَاجِهِ بَدَأَ بِي فَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا فَلاَ عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لاَ تُعَجِّلِي حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ قَالَتْ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ أَبَوَاىَ لَمْ يَكُونَا لِيَأْمُرَانِّي بِفِرَاقِهِ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ تَلاَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ { يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا } إِلَى قَوْلِهِ { جَمِيلاً } فَقُلْتُ أَفِي هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَىَّ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللَّهَ ﷻ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الآخِرَةَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلْتُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ حِينَ قَالَ لَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاخْتَرْنَهُ طَلاَقًا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُنَّ اخْتَرْنَهُ  

"When the following was revealed: 'But if you desire Allah and His Messenger,' the Prophet came and started with me. He said: 'O 'Aishah, I am going to say something to you and you do not have to rush (to make a decision) until you consult your parents.'" She said: "He knew, by Allah, that my parents would never tell me to leave him. Then he recited to me: 'O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter.'" "I said: 'Do I need to consult my parents concerning this? I desire Allah and His Messenger.'"  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ { إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ } دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَدَأَ بِي فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا فَلاَ عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لاَ تُعَجِّلِي حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ قَالَتْ قَدْ عَلِمَ وَاللَّهِ أَنَّ أَبَوَىَّ لَمْ يَكُونَا لِيَأْمُرَانِّي بِفِرَاقِهِ فَقَرَأَ عَلَىَّ { يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا } فَقُلْتُ أَفِي هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَىَّ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ وَالأَوَّلُ أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ وَاللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ  

It was narrated from 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet, that the Messenger of Allah came to her when Allah commanded him to give his wives the choice. 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah started with me and said: 'I am going to tell you something, but you do not have to rush until you consult your parents.'" She said: "He knew that my parents would not tell me to leave him." Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter, then come! I will make a provision for you and set you free in a handsome manner.' "I said: 'Do I need to consult my parents about this? I choose Allah and His Messenger, and the abode of the Hereafter.'"

"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was ordered to tell his wives to make a choice, he started with me. He said: 'O 'Aishah! I am going to mention something to you, but you should not hasten (to reply) until you have consulted your parents.'" She said: "And he knew that my parents would not have ordered me to part from him.'" She said: "Then Allah [Most High] revealed: 'O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world and its glitter then come...' until reaching: '...for the good doers among you an enormous reward (33:28 & 29).' I said: 'For what should I consult my parents? Indeed I want Allah, His Messenger, and the abode of the Hereafter.' The (remaining) wives of the Prophet ﷺ did the same as I did."

[Machine] "O Aisha, I have something to discuss with you, so do not hasten in it until you consult with your parents Abu Bakr and Umm Rumman." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is it?" He said, "O Aisha, I have something to discuss with you, so do not hasten in it until you consult with your parents Abu Bakr and Umm Rumman." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is it?" He said, "O Aisha, I have something to discuss with you, so do not hasten in it until you consult with your parents Abu Bakr and Umm Rumman." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is it?" He said, "Allah said, 'O Prophet, say to your wives, "If you desire the worldly life and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and give you a gracious release. But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter, then indeed, Allah has prepared for the doers of good among you a great reward."' (Al-Ahzab 29)" She said, "Indeed, I desire Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter, and I do not consult in this matter with my parents Abu Bakr and Umm Rumman." The Prophet ﷺ smiled and touched the stone, then he said, "Verily, Aisha said such and such." He said, "So, say what Aisha said."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me and said, "I am going to propose something to you, but you shouldn't rush it. Consult your parents first." I asked him, "What is this matter?" He recited to me the verse from Surah Al-Ahzab: "O Prophet, tell your wives: If you desire the life of this world and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and release you in a gracious manner. But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter, then indeed, Allah has prepared for the doers of good among you a great reward." Aisha said, "I asked him if that meant I should consult my parents. He said, 'No, I mean that you should desire Allah, His Messenger, and the home of the Hereafter.' The Prophet ﷺ was delighted with my response and said, 'I will present to your co-wives what I have presented to you.' I told him not to inform them about my choice, but he didn't do so. He would tell them the same thing he told me and then say, 'Aisha has chosen Allah, His Messenger, and the home of the Hereafter.' Aisha said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us the choice, and we never saw it as divorce.'"  

أَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَأَعْرِضُ عَلَيْكِ أَمْرًا فَلَا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ تَعْجَلِي فِيهِ حَتَّى تُشَاوِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ فَقُلْتُ وَمَا هَذَا الْأَمْرُ؟ قَالَتْ فَتَلَا عَلَيَّ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلًا وَإِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُوَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنَاتِ مِنْكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [الأحزاب 29] قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ وَفِي ذَلِكَ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أُشَاوِرَ أَبَوَيَّ؟ بَلْ أُرِيدُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ قَالَتْ فَسُرَّ بِذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَعْجَبَهُ وَقَالَ سَأَعْرِضُ عَلَى صَوَاحِبِكِ مَا عَرَضْتُ عَلَيْكِ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَلَا تُخْبِرْهُنَّ بِالَّذِي اخْتَرْتُ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ لَهُنَّ كَمَا قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ قَدْ اخْتَارَتْ عَائِشَةُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ قَدْ خَيَّرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ نَرَ ذَلِكَ طَلَاقًا

She said: "He knew, by Allah, that my parents would never tell me to leave him." She said: "Then he recited to me: ' O Prophet (Muhammad)! Say to your wives: " If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter.'" I said: 'Do I need to consult my parents about this? I choose Allah and His Messenger."'

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {وَإِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ} [الأحزاب 29] دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَدَأَ بِي فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا فَلَا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لَا تَعْجَلِي فِيهِ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ؟ قَالَتْ قَدْ عَلِمَ وَاللهِ أَنَّ أَبَوَيَّ لَمْ يَكُونَا لِيَأْمُرَانِي بِفِرَاقِهِ قَالَتْ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيَّ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا} [الأحزاب 28] فَقُلْتُ أَفِي هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَيَّ؟ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللهَ ﷻ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ  

[Machine] "When twenty-nine nights had passed, the Prophet ﷺ entered upon me. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you took an oath that you would not enter upon us for a month, and it has only been twenty-nine nights. Did you count them?' He said, 'The month is twenty-nine days.' Then he said, 'O Aisha, I have something to discuss with you, so don't rush until you consult with your parents.' Then he recited to me, 'O Prophet, say to your wives...' until he reached 'a great reward.' Aisha said, 'He knew that my parents had not instructed me to separate from him.' So I said, 'Should I ask my parents about this matter?' Because I desire Allah, His Messenger, and the Hereafter."  

فَلَمَّا مَضَتْ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ لَيْلَةً دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ بَدَأَ بِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكَ أَقْسَمْتَ أَنْ لَا تَدْخُلَ عَلَيْنَا شَهْرًا وَإِنَّكَ قَدْ دَخَلْتَ مِنْ تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ أَعُدُّهُنَّ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الشَّهْرَ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا فَلَا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لَا تَعْجَلِي فِيهِ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَلَيَّ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ} [الأحزاب 28] حَتَّى بَلَغَ {أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [النساء 40] قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ أَبَوَيَّ لَمْ يَكُونَا يَأْمُرَانِي بِفِرَاقِهِ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ أَفِي هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَيَّ؟ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ came to me and said, "I will present a matter to you, and it is not necessary for you to rush until you consult your parents." So, I asked, "What is this matter?" She recited the verse to me, "O Prophet, say to your wives, 'If you should desire the worldly life and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and give you a gracious release. But if you should desire Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter - then indeed, Allah has prepared for the doers of good among you a great reward.'" (Quran 33:29) Then I asked, "Why do you command me to consult my parents?" Instead, I want Allah and His Messenger and the Hereafter. So the Prophet ﷺ was pleased with this and said, "I will present to your companions what I presented to you." So he would say to them what he said to Aisha, and then he would say, "Aisha has chosen Allah and His Messenger and the Hereafter." Aisha said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us a choice, but we did not see that as a divorce."  

أَتَانِي نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَأَعْرِضُ عَلَيْكِ أَمْرًا فَلَا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لَا تَعْجَلِي حَتَّى تُشَاوِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ فَقُلْتُ وَمَا هَذَا الْأَمْرُ؟ قَالَتْ فَتَلَا عَلَيَّ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلًا وَإِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنَاتِ مِنْكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [الأحزاب 29] قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ وَفِي أَيِّ ذَلِكَ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أُشَاوِرَ أَبَوَيَّ؟ بَلْ أُرِيدُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ قَالَتْ فَسُرَّ بِذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَعْجَبَهُ وَقَالَ سَأَعْرِضُ عَلَى صَوَاحِبِكِ مَا عَرَضْتُ عَلَيْكِ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ لَهُنَّ كَمَا قَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ قَدْ اخْتَارَتْ عَائِشَةُاللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقَدْ خَيَّرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ نَرَ ذَلِكَ طَلَاقًا  

[Machine] "When twenty-nine days had passed, the Messenger of Allah entered upon me and started with me. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! You took an oath not to enter upon us for a month, but you entered on the twenty-ninth day.' He replied, 'The month is twenty-nine days.' Then he said, 'O Aisha! I have something on my mind for you, but I do not want to rush you until you consult with your parents.' She said, 'Then he recited the verse to me, "O Prophet! Say to your wives, 'If you desire the life of this world and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and give you a gracious release. But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the home of the Hereafter, then indeed, Allah has prepared for the doers of good among you a great reward.'" Aisha said, 'By Allah, my parents never stopped me from obeying the Messenger of Allah, so I said, 'Shall I consult my parents regarding this matter? I only desire Allah, His Messenger, and the home of the Hereafter.'"

'Aishah said: "Then the wives of the Prophet all did the same as I did, and that was not counted as a divorce, when the Messenger of Allah gave them the choice and they chose him."

"When the following was revealed: 'But if you desire Allah and His Messenger, ﷺ the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me and said: 'O Aishah I want to say something to you, and you do not have to hasten (in making a decision) until you have consulted your parents."'

It was narrated from 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet, that the Messenger of Allah came to her when Allah commanded him to give his wives the choice. 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah started with me and said: 'I am going to tell you something, but you do not have to rush until you consult your parents.'" She said: "He knew that my parents would not tell me to leave him." Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter, then come! I will make a provision for you and set you free in a handsome manner.' "I said: 'Do I need to consult my parents about this? I choose Allah and His Messenger, and the abode of the Hereafter.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3201)   

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَهَا حِينَ أُمِرََ أَنْ يُخْبِرَ أَزْوَاجَهُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَبَدَأَ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا فَلا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لا تَعْجَلِي حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ قَالَتْ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ أَبَوَيَّ لَم يَأْمُرَانِّي بِفِرَاقِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ {يَأَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا} فَقُلْتُ فِي أَي هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَيَّ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الآخِرَةَ [148] 5292 أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا غُنْدَرٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الضُّحَى عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ «قَدْ خَيَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نِسَاءَهُ فَكَانَ طَلَاقًا»  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was commanded to give option to his wives, he started it from me saying: I am going to mention to you a matter which you should not (decide) in haste until you have consulted your parents. She said that he already knew that my parents would never allow me to seek separation from him She said: Then he said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: Prophet, say to thy wives: If you desire this world's life and its adornment, then come, I will give you a provision and allow you to depart a goodly departing; and if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the abode of the Hereafter, then Allah has prepared for the doers of good among you a great reward She is reported to have said: About what should I consult my parents, for I desire Allah and His Messenger and the abode of the Hereafter? She ('A'isha) said: Then all the wives of Messenger of Allah ﷺ did as I had done. (Using translation from Muslim 1475)   

لَمَّا أُمِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِتَخْيِيرِ أَزْوَاجِهِ بَدَأَ بِي فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنِّي مُخْبِرُكِ خَبَرًا فَلَا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لَا تَعْجَلِي حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ قَالَتْ وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ أَبَوِيَّ لَمْ يَكُونَا يَأْمُرَانِي بِفِرَاقِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلًا وَإِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِنَاتِ مِنْكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [الأحزاب 29] فَقُلْتُ فِي هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوِيَّ ‍‍ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ أَزْوَاجُهُ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلْتُ  

[Machine] The Prophet's wife informed him that the Prophet came to her when Allah commanded him to choose his wives. He started with me, the Messenger of Allah said to me, "I am reminding you of a matter, so you do not have to rush until you consult your parents." He knew that my parents did not order me to separate from him. He said then he said, "Indeed, Allah says, 'O Prophet, say to your wives'..." [Al-Ahzab: 28]. I said to him, "So in this, I consult my parents, for I desire Allah and His Messenger and the Hereafter."
