The wives of Allah's Apostle ﷺ sent Fatima, the daughter of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, to Allah's Apostle ﷺ. She sought permission to get in as he had been lying with me in my mantle. He gave her permission and she said: Messenger of Allah, verily, your wives have sent me to you in order to ask you to observe equity in case of the daughter of Abu Quhafa. She (ʿA'isha) said: I kept quiet. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her (Fatima): O daughter, don't you love whom I love? She said: Yes, (I do). Thereupon he said: I love this one. Fatima then stood up as she heard this from Messenger of Allah ﷺ and went to the wives of Allah's Apostle ﷺ and informed them of what she had said to him and what Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said to her. Thereupon they said to her: We think that you have been of no avail to us. You may again go to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and tell him that his wives seek equity in case of the daughter of Abu Quhafa. Fatima said: By Allah, I will never talk to him about this matter. ʿA'isha (further) reported: The wives of Allah's Apostle ﷺ then sent Zainab b. Jahsh, the wife of Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and she was one who was somewhat equal in rank with me in the eyes of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I have never seen a woman more advanced in religious piety than Zainab, more God-conscious, more truthful, more alive to the ties of blood, more generous and having more sense of self-sacrifice in practical life and having more charitable disposition and thus more close to God, the Exalted, than her. She, however, lost temper very soon but was soon calm. Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted her to enter as she (ʿA'isha) was along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in her mantle, in the same very state when Fatima had entered. She said: Messenger of Allah, your wives have sent me to you seeking equity in case of the daughter of Abu Quhafa. She then came to me and showed harshness to me and I was seeing the eyes of Messenger of Allah ﷺ whether he would permit me. Zainab went on until I came to know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not disapprove if I retorted. Then I exchanged hot words until I made her quiet. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said: She is the daughter of Abu Bakr. (Using translation from Muslim 2442a)   

«أَرْسَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ مَعِي فِي مِرْطِي فَأَذِنَ لَهَا» فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي إِلَيْكَ يَسْأَلْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ وَأَنَا سَاكِتَةٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ أَلَسْتِ تُحِبِّينَ مَا أُحِبُّ» قَالَتْ بَلَى قَالَ فَأَحِبِّي هَذِهِ فَقَامَتْ فَاطِمَةُ حِينَ سَمِعَتْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُنَّ بِالَّذِي قَالَتْ وَالَّذِي قَالَ لَهَا فَقُلْنَ لَهَا مَا نَرَاكِ أَغْنَيْتِ عَنَّا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَارْجِعِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُولِي لَهُ «إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ يَنْشُدْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ» فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ «لَا وَاللهِ لَا أُكَلِّمُهُ فِيهَا أَبَدًا» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ «فَأَرْسَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الْمَنْزِلَةِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ أَرَ امْرَأَةً قَطُّ خَيْرًا فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ زَيْنَبَ وَأَتْقَى لِلَّهِ وَأَصْدَقَ حَدِيثًا وَأَوْصَلَ لِلرَّحِمِ وَأَعْظَمَ صَدَقَةً وَأَشَدَّ ابْتِذَالًا لِنَفْسِهَا فِي الْعَمَلِ الَّذِي تَصَدَّقُ بِهِ وَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ مَا عَدَا سَوْرَةً مِنْ حِدَّةٍ كَانَتْ فِيهَا تُسْرِعُ فِيهَا الْفَيْئَةَ» فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَ عَائِشَةَ فِي مِرْطِهَا عَلَى الْحَالِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ دَخَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا فَأَذِنَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي إِلَيْكَ يَسْأَلْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ وَوَقَعَتْ بِي فَاسْتَطَالَتْ وَأَنَا أَرْقُبُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَرْقُبُ طَرَفَهُ هَلْ يَأْذَنُ لِي فِيهَا فَلَمْ تَبْرَحْ زَيْنَبُ حَتَّى عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ فَلَمَّا وَقَعْتُ بِهَا لَمْ أَنْشَبْهَا حَتَّى أَنْحَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ» [152] 8842 أَخْبَرَنِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَتْ فَأَرْسَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَدَخَلَتْ فَقَالَتْ نَحْوَهُ خَالَفَهُمَا مَعْمَرٌ فَرَوَاهُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ  

"The wives of the Prophet got together and sent Fatimah to the Prophet. They told her to say: 'Your wives'" -and he (the narrator) said something to the effect that they are urging you to be equitable with regard to the matter of the daughter of Abu Quhafah. She said: "So she entered upon the Prophet when he was with 'Aishah under her cover. She said to him: 'Your wives have sent me and they are urging you to be equitable with regard to the matter of the daughter of Abu Quhafah.' The Prophet said to her: 'Do you love me?' She said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then love her.' So she went back to them and told them what he said. They said to her: 'You did not do anything; go back to him.' She said: 'By Allah, I will never go back (and speak to him) about her again.' She was truly the daughter of the Messenger of Allah. So they sent Zainab bint Jahsh." 'Aishah said: "She was somewhat my equal among the wives of the Prophet. She said: 'Your wives have sent me to urge you to be equitable with regard to the matter of the daughter of Abu Quhafa.' Then she swooped on me and abused me, and I started watching the Prophet to see if he would give me permission to respond to her. She insulted me and I started to think that he would not disapprove if I responded to her. So I insulted her and I soon silenced her. Then the Prophet said to her: 'She is the daughter of Abu Bakr.'" 'Aishah said: "And I never saw any woman who was better, more generous in giving charity, more keen to uphold the ties of kinship, and more generous in giving of herself in everything by means of which she could draw closer to Allah than Zainab. But she had a quick temper; however, she was also quick to calm down." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3946)  

اجْتَمَعْنَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلْنَ فَاطِمَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْنَ لَهَا «إِنَّ نِسَاءَكَ وَذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا يَنْشُدْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ» قَالَتْ فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مَعَ عَائِشَةَ فِي مِرْطِهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ «إِنَّ نِسَاءَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي وَهُنَّ يَنْشُدْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ» فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَتُحِبِّينَنِي؟» فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَأَحِبِّيهَا» قَالَتْ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِنَّ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُنَّ بِمَا قَالَ لَهَا فَقُلْنَ إِنَّكِ لَمْ تَصْنَعِي شَيْئًا فَارْجِعِي إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ وَاللهِ لَا أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ فِيهَا أَبَدًا وَكَانَتِ ابْنَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَقًّا فَأَرْسَلْنَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ «وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ» فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي وَهُنَّ يَنْشُدْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَتْ عَلَيَّ فَشَتَمَتْنِي فَجَعَلْتُ أَرْقُبُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَنْظُرُ طَرْفَهُ هَلْ يَأْذَنُ لِي فِي أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ مِنْهَا قَالَتْ فَشَتَمَتْنِي حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ مِنْهَا فَاسْتَقْبَلْتُهَا فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ أَفْحَمْتُهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ «وَلَمْ أَرَ امْرَأَةً أَكْثَرَ خَيْرًا وَلَا أَكْثَرَ صَدَقَةً وَأَوْصَلَ لِرَحِمٍ وَأَبْذَلَ لِنَفْسِهَا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ مِنْ زَيْنَبَ مَا عَدَا سَوْرَةً مِنْ حِدٍّ كَانَ فِيهَا تُوشِكُ فِيهَا الْفَيْئَةُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ وَالصَّوَابُ الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The superiority of ʿAisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid to other kinds of food . " (Using translation from Bukhārī 5419)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «فَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The superiority of ʿAisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid to other kinds of food . " (Using translation from Bukhārī 5419)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «فَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'O Umm Salamah, do not bother me about 'Aishah, for by Allah, the Revelation has never come to me under the blanket of any of you apart from her.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3949)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ «لَا تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةَ فَإِنَّهُ وَاللهِ مَا أَتَانِي الْوَحْيُ فِي لِحَافِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْكُنَّ إِلَّا هِيَ»  

"We love good things as much as 'Aishah does." So she spoke to him, but he did not reply her. When her turn came again, she spoke to him again, but he did not reply her. They said to her: "How did he respond?" She said: "He did not answer me." They said: "Do not leave him alone until he answers you or you comprehend what he says." When her turn came again, she spoke to him and he said: 'Do not bother me about 'Aishah, for the Revelation has never come to me under the blanket of any of you apart from the blanket of 'Aishah.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3950)  

أَنَّ نِسَاءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَلَّمْنَهَا أَنْ تُكَلِّمَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَتَحَرُّونَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ وَتَقُولُ لَهُ «إِنَّا نُحِبُّ الْخَيْرَ كَمَا تُحِبُّ عَائِشَةَ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهَا فَلَمَّا دَارَ عَلَيْهَا كَلَّمَتْهُ أَيْضًا فَلَمْ يُجِبْهَا» وَقُلْنَ مَا رَدَّ عَلَيْكِ قَالَتْ «لَمْ يُجِبْنِي» قُلْنَ لَا تَدَعِيهِ حَتَّى يَرُدَّ عَلَيْكِ تَنْظُرِينَ مَا يَقُولُ فَلَمَّا دَارَ عَلَيْهَا الثَّالِثَةَ كَلَّمَتْهُ فَقَالَ «لَا تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ الْوَحْيُ وَأَنَا فِي لِحَافِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْكُنَّ إِلَّا فِي لِحَافِ عَائِشَةَ»  

[Machine] People used to present their gifts to Aisha on a specific day, seeking thereby the pleasure of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abu Abdur Rahman said, "These two hadiths are authentic, narrated by Abdah."  

كَانَ النَّاسُ يَتَحَرُّونَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ يَبْتَغُونَ بِذَلِكَ مَرْضَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ «وَهَذَانِ الْحَدِيثَانِ صَحِيحَانِ عَنْ عَبْدَةَ»  

"Allah sent Revelation to the Prophet when I was with him, so I got up and closed the door between him and I. When it was taken off him, he said to me: 'O 'Aishah, Jibril sends greetings of Salam to you.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3952)  

أُوحِيَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَقُمْتُ فَأَجَفْتُ الْبَابَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَلَمَّا رُفِّهَ عَنْهُ قَالَ لِي «يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ يُقْرِئُكِ السَّلَامَ»  

"Jibril sends greetings of Salam to you." She said: "And upon him be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings; you see what we do not." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3953)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهَا «إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكِ السَّلَامَ» قُلْتُ «وَعَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ تَرَى مَا لَا نَرَى»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Aisha, this is Jibril and he is conveying peace upon you." Similarly, Abu Abdullah Al-Rahman said, "This is correct, and what preceded it was an error." And Ahmad bin Yahya bin Al-Wazir bin Suleiman narrated from Sa'eed bin 'Ufair from Al-Laith from Abdur Rahman bin Khalid bin Musafir from Az-Zuhri, who said...  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا عَائِشُ «هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكِ السَّلَامَ» مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا الصَّوَابُ وَالَّذِي قَبْلَهُ خَطَأٌ 8852 وَعَنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْوَزِيرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُفَيْرٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ مُسَافِرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهِ
