[Machine] Sawda was a robust woman whose physique frightened people.  

«كَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ امْرَأَةً جَسِيمَةً يُفْزِعُ النَّاسَ جِسْمُهَا»  

[Machine] Sauda and Zainab, the camel will never move us after we heard from the Prophet ﷺ them saying, "These are the buttocks of al-Husr." So, their wives were rejected from going on Hajj, except for them.  

سَوْدَةُ وَزَيْنَبُ لَا يُحَرِّكُنَا الْبَعِيرُ أَبَدًا بَعْدَمَا سَمِعْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ تَعْنِيَانِ قَوْلَهُ «هَذِهِ ثُمَّ ظُهُورُ الْحُصْرِ» قَالَ فَكُنَّ أَزْوَاجُهُ يَحْجُجْنَ إِلَّا هُمَا  

[Machine] Narrated Sauda bint Zam'a, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ : I said, "O Messenger of Allah, when Usman bin Maz'un walks, he prays for us until he reaches us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "If you knew (the knowledge of) death, O daughter of Zam'a, you would have known that it is worse than what you can bear."  

عَنْ سَوْدَةَ بِنْتِ زَمْعَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِذَا مَشَى صَلَّى لَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ حَتَّى يَأْتِينَا فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ تَعْلَمِينَ عَلِمَ الْمَوْتِ يَا ابْنَةَ زَمْعَةَ عَلِمْتِ أَنَّهُ أَشَدَّ مِمَّا تُقَدِّرِينَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "People will be resurrected barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised, with their sweat reaching to their ears." So I asked, "Will we be looking at each other then?" He replied, "The people will be too occupied." "Each of them will have concerns that will make them oblivious."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُبْعَثُ النَّاسُ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً غُرْلًا قَدْ أَلْجَمَهُمُ الْعَرَقُ وَبَلَغَ شُحُومَ الْآذَانِ» فَقُلْتُ يُبْصِرُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا؟ فَقَالَ «شُغِلَ النَّاسُ» {لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ}  

[Machine] Badr arrived with Sowda, the daughter of Zama'a, at the house of the family of A'fra in their resting place, on the outskirts. I sought protection for my son Afraa and that was before the veil was imposed on them. She said, "So it was said, Badr arrived, so I went to my house and there I found Suhail bin Amr. And there was a group surrounding him, with his hands on his neck. So when I saw him, I lost control of myself and said, 'Oh Abu Yazid, have you been given power? Will you not cease being noble?' She said, 'By Allah, what made me aware of the situation was the statement of the Messenger of Allah from inside the house, 'Is Allah exalted and His Messenger exalted?' So I said, 'Oh Messenger of Allah, I only regained control of myself when I saw Abu Yazid, and I said what I said.'"  

قُدِمَ بِأُسَارَى بَدْرٍ وَسَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ عِنْدِ آلِ عَفْرَاءَ فِي مَنَاخِهِمْ عَلَى عَوْفٍ وَمُعَوِّذٍ ابْنِي عَفْرَاءَ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُضْرَبَ عَلَيْهِنَّ الْحِجَابُ قَالَتْ فَقِيلَ قُدِمَ بِأُسَارَى بَدْرٍ فَأَتَيْتُ مَنْزِلِي فَإِذَا أَنَا بِسُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَفِي نَاحِيَةِ الْحُجْرَةِ مَجْمُوعَةٌ يَدَاهُ إِلَى عُنُقَهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ مَا مَلَكَتُ نَفْسِي قُلْتُ أَبَا يَزِيدَ أُعْطِيتُمْ مَا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ أَلَا مُتُّمْ كِرَامًا؟ قَالَتْ فَوَاللهِ مَا نَبَّهَنِي إِلَّا قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ دَاخِلِ الْبَيْتِ «أَعَلَى اللهِ وَعَلَى رَسُولِهِ؟» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ مَلَكْتُ نَفْسِي حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَبَا يَزِيدَ أَنْ قُلْتُ مَا قُلْتُ  

[Machine] "She granted her day to Aisha."  

«أَنَّهَا وَهَبَتْ يَوْمَهَا لِعَائِشَةَ»  

[Machine] We had a sheep that died, so we threw it away. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said, "Did you not benefit from its hide?" So, we sent for it, skinned it, tanned the hide, and made it into a water container. We drank from it until it became worn out.  

كَانَتْ لَنَا شَاةٌ فَمَاتَتْ فَطَرَحْنَاهَا فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَفَلَا انْتَفَعْتُمْ بِإِهَابِهَا؟» فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهَا فَسَلَخْنَا جِلْدَهَا ثُمَّ دَبَغْنَاهُ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ سُقْيًا فَشَرِبْنَا فِيهِ حَتَّى صَارَ شَنًّا  

[Machine] "So we tanned its skin and used to throw it, until it became a beautiful leather cover."  

«فَدَبَغْنَا جِلْدَهَا فَكُنَّا نَنْبِذُ فِيهِ حَتَّى صَارَ شَنًّا بَالِيًا»  

[Machine] About Sawdah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , she said: "We had a sheep that died, so we tanned its skin and we have been using it ever since."  

عَنْ سَوْدَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ «كَانَتْ لَنَا شَاةٌ فَمَاتَتْ فَدَبَغْنَا مَسْكَهَا فَمَا زِلْنَا نَنْبِذُ فِيهِ حَتَّى صَارَ شَنًّا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by a dead sheep and said, "Did you enjoy its aroma?"  

مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِشَاةٍ مَيْتَةٍ فَقَالَ «هَلَّا اسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِإِهَابِهَا»  

[Machine] We had a sheep that died, so we threw it away. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and asked, "What did you do with your sheep?" We said, "It died, so we threw it away." He said, "Couldn't you have benefited from its skin?" I said, "But it's dead." He recited this verse, "Say, 'I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal.'" He then said, "The only thing forbidden to you is to eat the carrion." So they sent for its skin and tanned it until they had a good piece with them.  

كَانَتْ لَنَا شَاةٌ فَمَاتَتْ فَرَمَيْنَا بِهَا فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا فَعَلَتْ شَاتُكُمْ؟» قُلْنَا مَاتَتْ فَطَرَحْنَاهَا فَقَالَ «أَفَلَا انْتَفَعْتُمْ بِإِهَابِهَا؟» فَقُلْتُ هِيَ مَيْتَةٌ فَقَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {قُلْ لَا أَجِدُ فِيمَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلَى طَاعِمٍ يَطْعَمُهُ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ مَيْتَةً} «إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَطْعَمُوهَا» فَأَرْسَلُوا بِإِهَابِهَا فَدَبَغُوهُ فَاتَّخَذُوهُ حَتَّى كَانَ عِنْدَهُمْ شَنًّا  

[Machine] "Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Would you take its skin and tan it and benefit from it?'"  

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلَّا أَخَذْتُمْ جِلْدَهَا فَدَبَغْتُمُوهُ وَانْتَفَعْتُمْ بِهِ»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, my father is an old man who is unable to perform Hajj. Should I perform Hajj on his behalf?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Have you ever considered if your father had a debt and you paid it off, would it fulfill his obligation?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then perform Hajj on his behalf."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتَهُ أَكَانَ يُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «حُجَّ عَنْهُ»
