“The Prophet ﷺ was with one of the Mothers of the Believers (his wives) and another (wife) sent a bowl containing food. She (the first wife) struck the hand of the Messenger of ﷺ and the bowl fell and broke. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the two pieces and put them back together, then he started gathering up the food and putting it in (the bowl). He said: 'Your mother was jealous. Eat.' So they ate, and she (the wife who broke the bowl) brought the bowl that was in her house and gave the intact bowl to the Messenger ﷺ, who left the broken bowl in the house of the one who broke it.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2334)  

قَالَ أَنَسٌ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عِنْدَ إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَرْسَلَتْ أُخْرَى بِقَصْعَةٍ فِيهَا طَعَامٌ فَضَرَبَتْ يَدَ الرَّسُولِ فَسَقَطَتِ الْقَصْعَةُ فَانْكَسَرَتْ فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْكِسْرَتَيْنِ فَضَمَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا إِلَى الْأُخْرَى فَجَعَلَ يَجْمَعُ فِيهَا الطَّعَامَ وَيَقُولُ «غَارَتْ أُمُّكُمْ كُلُوا فَأَكَلُوا فَأَمَرَ حَتَّى جَاءَتْ بِقَصْعَتِهَا الَّتِي فِي بَيْتِهَا فَدَفَعَ الْقَصْعَةَ الصَّحِيحَةَ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَتَرَكَ الْمَكْسُورَةَ فِي بَيْتِ الَّتِي كَسَرَتْهَا»  

"Eat; your mother got jealous," twice. Then the Messenger of Allah took the dish of 'Aishah and sent it to Umm Salamah and he gave the dish of Umm Salamah to 'Aishah. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3956)  

أَنَّهَا تَعْنِي أَتَتْ بِطَعَامٍ فِي صَحْفَةٍ لَهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَجَاءَتْ عَائِشَةُ مُؤْتَزِرَةً بِكِسَاءٍ وَمَعَهَا فِهْرٌ فَفَلَقَتْ بِهِ الصَّحْفَةَ فَجَمَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ فِلْقَتَيِ الصَّحْفَةِ وَيَقُولُ «كُلُوا غَارَتْ أُمُّكُمْ» مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَحْفَةَ عَائِشَةَ فَبَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَأَعْطَى صَحْفَةَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ لِعَائِشَةَ  

"I never saw any woman who made food like Safiyyah. She sent a dish to the Prophet in which was some food, and I could not keep myself from breaking it. I asked the Prophet what the expiation was for that, and he said: 'A dish like that dish, and food like that food.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3957)  

مَا رَأَيْتُ صَانِعَةَ طَعَامٍ مِثْلَ صَفِيَّةَ أَهْدَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَاءً فِيهِ طَعَامٌ فَمَا مَلَكَتْ نَفْسِي أَنْ كَسَرْتَهُ فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ كَفَّارَتِهِ فَقَالَ «إِنَاءٌ كَإِنَاءٍ وَطَعَامٌ كَطَعَامٍ»  

I heard ʿAisha saying, "The Prophet ﷺ used to stay for a long while with Zanab bint Jahsh and drink honey at her house. So Hafsa and I decided that if the Prophet ﷺ came to anyone of us, she should say him, "I detect the smell of Maghafir (a nasty smelling gum) in you. Have you eaten Maghafir?' " So the Prophet ﷺ visited one of them and she said to him similarly. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Never mind, I have taken some honey at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, but I shall never drink of it anymore." So there was revealed: 'O Prophet ! Why do you ban (for you) that which Allah has made lawful for you . . . If you two (wives of Prophet) turn in repentance to Allah,' (66.1-4) addressing Aisha and Hafsa. 'When the Prophet ﷺ disclosed a matter in confidence to some of his wives.' (66.3) namely his saying: But I have taken some honey." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5267)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَمْكُثُ عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ فَيَشْرَبُ عِنْدَهَا عَسَلًا فَتَوَاصَيْتُ أَنَا وَحَفْصَةُ أَنَّ أَيَّتُنَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَلْتَقُلْ إِنِّي أَجِدُ مِنْكَ رِيحَ مَغَافِيرَ أَكَلْتَ مَغَافِيرَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى إِحْدَاهُمَا فَقَالَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَا بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا عِنْدَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ وَلَنْ أَعُودَ لَهُ فَنَزَلَتْ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللهُ لَكَ تَبْتَغِي مَرْضَاةَ أَزْوَاجِكَ} {إِنْ تَتُوبَا إِلَى اللهِ} [التحريم 4] لِعَائِشَةَ وَحَفْصَةَ وَإِذْ أَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ حَدِيثًا لِقَوْلِهِ «بَلْ شَرِبْتُ عَسَلًا»  

"O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you.' until the end of the Verse. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3959)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَمَةٌ يَطَؤُهَا فَلَمْ تَزَلْ بِهِ عَائِشَةُ وَحَفْصَةُ حَتَّى حَرَّمَهَا عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللهُ لَكَ} [التحريم 1] إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ  

"I looked for the Messenger of Allah and I put my hand on his hair." He said: "Your Shaitan has come to you." I said: "Don't you have a Shaitan?" He said: "Yes, but Allah helped me with him, so he submitted." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3960)  

الْتَمَسْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَدْخَلْتُ يَدِي فِي شَعْرِهِ فَقَالَ «قَدْ جَاءَكِ شَيْطَانُكِ» فَقُلْتُ أَمَا لَكَ شَيْطَانٌ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمَ»  

"I noticed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was missing one night, and I thought he had gone to one of his other wives. I tried to feel for him, and I found him bowing or prostrating and saying: 'SubhanakAllahumma wa bihamdika la ilaha ila ant (Glory and praise be to You, O Allah, there is none worthy of worship but You.)'" She said: "May my father and mother be ransomed for you. I thought you were doing one thing and you were doing something else altogether." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1131)  

فَقَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ ذَهَبَ إِلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَتَحَسَّسْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَاكِعٌ أَوْ سَاجِدٌ يَقُولُ «سُبْحَانَكَ وَبِحَمْدِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ» فَقَالَتْ «بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي إِنَّكَ لَفِي شَأْنٍ وَإِنِّي لَفِي آخَرَ»

افْتَقَدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ ذَهَبَ إِلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَتَحَسَّسْتُهُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَاكِعٌ أَوْ سَاجِدٌ يَقُولُ «سُبْحَانَكَ وَبِحَمْدِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ» فَقُلْتُ «بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي إِنَّكَ لَفِي شَأْنٍ وَإِنِّي لَفِي آخَرَ»  

"Shall I not tell you about the Prophet and I?" We said: "Yes." She said: "When it was my night, he came in, placed his shoes by his feet, lay down his Rida' (upper garment), and spread his Izar (lower garment) on his bed. As soon as he thought that I had gone to sleep, he put his shoes on slowly and picked up his Rida' slowly. Then he opened the door slowly, went out and shut it slowly. I put my garment over my head, covered myself and put on my Izar (lower garment), and I set out after him until he came to Al-Baqi', raised his hands three times and stood there for a long time. Then he left and I left, he hurried and I hurried, he ran and I ran, and I got there before him and entered (the house). I had only just laid down when he came in and said: 'O 'Aishah, why are you out of breath?' (one of the reporters) Sulaiman said: I thought he (Ibn Wahb) said: 'short of breath.' He said: 'Either you tell me or the All-Aware, All-Knowing will tell me.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you;' and I told him the story. He said: 'You were the black shape I saw in front of me?' I said: 'Yes.'" She said: "He gave me a shove in the chest that hurt me and said: 'You thought that Allah and His Messenger would be unfair to you.' She said: 'Whatever people conceal, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, knows it.' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Jibril came to me when you saw (me leave) but he did not enter upon you because you have taken off your garments. So he called me but he concealed himself from you, and I answered him but I concealed it from you. I thought that you had gone to sleep and I did not want to wake you and I was afraid that you would feel lonely. He told me to go to Al-Baqi' and pray for forgiveness for them.'" Hajjaj bin Muhammad contradicted him (Ibn Wahb), he said: "From Ibn Juraij, from Ibn Abi Mulaikah, from Muhammad bin Qais." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3963)  

أَلَا أُحَدِّثَكُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَنِّي؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَتْ «لَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَتِي انْقَلَبَ فَوَضَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَوُضِعَ رِدَاءَهُ وَبَسَطَ طَرَفَ إِزَارِهِ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ إِلَّا رَيْثَمَا ظَنَّ أَنِّي قَدْ رَقَدْتُ ثُمَّ انْتَعَلَ رُوَيْدًا وَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ رُوَيْدًا ثُمَّ فَتَحَ الْبَابَ رُوَيْدًا فَخَرَجَ وَأَجَافَهُ رُوَيْدًا وَجَعَلْتُ دِرْعِي فِي رَأْسِي وَاخْتَمَرْتُ وَتَقَنَّعْتُ إِزَارِي وَانْطَلَقْتُ فِي أَثَرِهِ حَتَّى جَاءَ الْبَقِيعَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ انْحَرَفَ وَانْحَرَفْتُ فَأَسْرَعَ فَأَسْرَعْتُ فَهَرْوَلَ فَهَرْوَلْتُ وَأَحْضَرَ وَأَحْضَرْتُ وَسَبَقْتُهُ فَدَخَلْتُ فَلَيْسَ إِلَّا أَنِ اضْطَجَعْتُ فَدَخَلَ» فَقَالَ «مَا لَكِ يَا عَائِشُ رَابِيَةً؟» قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ حَسِبْتُهُ قَالَ «حَشْيَا» قُلْتُ لَا شَيْءَ قَالَ «لَتُخْبِرِنِّي أَوْ لَيُخْبِرَنِّي اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ الْخَبَرَ قَالَ «أَنْتِ السَّوَادُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ أَمَامِي» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ «فَلَهَدَنِي لَهْدَةً فِي صَدْرِي أَوْجَعَنِي» قَالَ أَظَنَنْتِ أَنْ يَحِيفَ اللهُ عَلَيْكِ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَتْ «مَهْمَا يَكْتُمُ النَّاسُ فَقَدْ عَلِمَهُ اللهُ» قَالَ «نَعَمْ فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَانِي حِينَ رَأَيْتِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكِ وَقَدْ وَضَعْتِ ثِيَابَكِ فَنَادَانِي وَأَخْفَى مِنْكِ وَأَجَبْتُهُ فَأَخْفَيْتُهُ مِنْكِ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنْ قَدْ رَقَدْتِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُوقِظَكِ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَسْتَوْحِشِي فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آتِيَ أَهْلَ الْبَقِيعِ فَأَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ» خَالَفَهُ حَجَّاجٌ فَقَالَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ  

"Shall I not tell you about the Prophet and I?" We said: "Yes." She said: "When it was my night when he" -meaning the Prophet- "was with me, he came in, placed his shoes by his feet, lay down his Rida' (upper garment), and spread the edge of his Izar (lower garment) on his bed. As soon as he thought that I had gone to sleep, he put his shoes on slowly, and picked up his Rida' slowly. Then he opened the door slowly, went out and shut it slowly. I put my garment over my head, covered myself and put on my Izar (lower garment), and I set out after him until he came to Al-Baqi', raised his hands three times and stood there for a long time.

'Asim reported it from 'Abdullah bin 'Amir, from 'Aishah, with a wording different from this. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3964)  

«أَلَا أُحَدِّثَكُمْ عَنِّي وَعَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؟» قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَتْ «لَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَتِي الَّتِي هُوَ عِنْدِي تَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ انْقَلَبَ فَوَضَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَوَضَعَ رِدَاءَهُ وَبَسَطَ طَرَفَ إِزَارِهِ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ إِلَّا رَيْثَمَا ظَنَّ أَنِّي قَدْ رَقَدْتُ ثُمَّ انْتَعَلَ رُوَيْدًا وَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ رُوَيْدًا ثُمَّ فَتَحَ الْبَابَ رُوَيْدًا وَخَرَجَ فَأَجَافَهُ رُوَيْدًا وَجَعَلْتُ دِرْعِي فِي رَأْسِي وَاخْتَمَرْتُ وَتَقَنَّعْتُ إِزَارِي وَانْطَلَقْتُ فِي أَثَرِهِ فَجَاءَ الْبَقِيعَ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ ثُمَّ انْحَرَفَ فَانْحَرَفْتُ فَأَسْرَعَ فَأَسْرَعْتُ وَهَرْوَلَ فَهَرْوَلْتُ فَأَحْضَرَ فَأَحْضَرْتُ وَسَبَقْتُهُ فَدَخَلْتُ فَلَيْسَ إِلَّا أَنِ اضْطَجَعْتُ فَدَخَلَ» فَقَالَ مَا لَكِ يَا عَائِشُةُ حَشْيَا رَابِيَةً؟ قَالَتْ «لَا» قَالَ لَتُخْبِرِنِّي أَوْ لَيُخْبِرَنِّي اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ «بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ الْخَبَرَ» قَالَ فَأَنْتِ السَّوَادُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ أَمَامِي قَالَتْ «نَعَمْ فَلَهَدَنِي فِي صَدْرِي لَهْدَةً أَوْجَعَتْنِي» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَظَنَنْتِ أَنْ يَحِيفَ اللهُ عَلَيْكِ وَرَسُولُهُ» قَالَتْ مَهْمَا يَكْتُمُ النَّاسُ فَقَدْ عَلِمَهُ اللهُ قَالَ «نَعَمْ فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَانِي حِينَ رَأَيْتُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكِ وَقَدْ وَضَعْتِ ثِيَابَكِ فَنَادَانِي فَأَخْفَى مِنْكِ فَأَجَبْتُهُ فَأَخْفَيْتُ مِنْكِ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنْ قَدْ رَقَدْتِ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَسْتَوْحِشِي فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آتِيَ أَهْلَ الْبَقِيعِ فأسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَثْبَتُ عِنْدَنَا مِنَ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ رِوَاهُ عَاصِمٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا اللَّفْظِ  

[Machine] "You have lost it during the night, so I followed it and found it in the graveyard," He said, "Peace be upon you, the dwelling of a believing people. You have caused us to be deprived, but we will surely follow. O Allah, do not deprive us of their reward and do not put us to trial after them." Then she turned towards me and said, "Woe to her, if only she could do what he did."  

«فَقَدْتَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَتَبِعْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِالْبَقِيعِ» قَالَ «سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْتُمْ لَنَا فَرَطٌ وَإِنَّا لَاحِقُونَ اللهُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُمْ وَلَا تَفْتِنَّا بَعْدَهُمْ» قَالَتْ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ «وَيْحَهَا لَوْ تَسْتَطِيعُ مَا فَعَلَتْ»  

[Machine] I did not marvel at any woman as I marveled at Khadijah because of the excessive mention of the Messenger of Allah’s ﷺ praise for her. She said, 'And he married me three years after that.'  

مَا غِرْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَا غِرْتُ عَلَى خَدِيجَةَ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ذِكْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَهَا قَالَتْ «وَتَزَوَّجَنِي بَعْدَهَا بِثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ»
