67 - THE BOOK OF AN-NIKĀH(The Wedlock)

English translation

5063. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ asking how the Prophet ﷺ worshipped (Allāh), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, "Where are we from the Prophet ﷺ as his past and future sins have been forgiven." Then one of them said, "I will offer the Ṣalāt (prayer) throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will observe Saum (fast) throughout the year and will not break my Saum (fast)." The third said, "I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came to them and said, "Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allāh, I am more submissive to Allāh and more afraid of Him than you; yet I observe Saum (fast) and also do not observe Saum (fast), I do offer Ṣalāt (prayer) and also do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my As-Sunna (legal ways) in religion, is not from me (not one of my followers)."

5064. Narrated 'Urwa that he asked Aīshah about the Statement of Allāh: تعالى: "If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (slaves) that your right hands possess. That will be nearer to prevent you from doing injustice.” (V.4:3) ‘Aishah said, “O my nephew! (This Verse has been revealed in connection with) an orphan girl under the guardianship of her guardian who is attracted by her wealth and beauty and intends to marry her with a Mahr less than what other women of her standard deserve. So they (such guardians) have been forbidden to marry them unless they do justice to them and give them their full Mahr, and they are ordered to marry other women instead of them.”

5065. Narrated ‘Alqama: While I was with ‘Abdullāh, ‘Uthmān met him at Minā and said, “O Abū ‘Abdur-Raḥmān! I have something to say to you.” So both of them went aside and ‘Uthmān said, “O Abū ‘Abdur-Raḥmān! Shall we marry you to a virgin who will make you remember your past days?” When ‘Abdullāh felt that he was not in need of that, he beckoned me (to join him) saying, “O ‘Alqama!” Then I heard him saying (in reply to ‘Uthmān), “As you have said that, (I tell you that) the Prophet ﷺ once said to us, ‘O young people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry, and whoever is not able to marry, is recommended to observe Saum (fast) as fasting will diminish his sexual power."

5079. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh: While we were returning from a Ghazwa (holy battle) with the Prophet ﷺ; I started driving my camel fast, as it was a lazy camel. A rider came behind me and pricked my camel with a spear he had with him, and then my camel started running as fast as the best camel you may see. Behold! The rider was the Prophet ﷺ himself. He said, "What makes you in such a hurry?" I replied, "I am newly married." He said, "Did you marry a virgin or a matron?" I replied, "A matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you may play with her and she with you?" When we were about to enter (Al-Madīna), the Prophet ﷺ said, "Wait so that you may enter Al-Madīna) at the afternoon so that the lady of unkempt hair may comb her hair and the one whose husband has been absent may shave her pubic region."

I invited the Muslims to the wedding banquet in which neither meat nor bread was offered. He ordered for leather dining-sheets to be spread, and dates, dried yoghourt and butter were laid on it, and that was the Prophet's wedding banquet. The Muslims wondered, "Is she (Šafiyya) considered as his wife or his slave-girl?" Then they said, "If he orders her to veil herself, she will be one of the Mothers of the believers; but if he does not order her to veil herself, she will be a slave-girl." So when the Prophet ﷺ proceeded from there, he made a space for her behind him (on his she-camel) and put a screening veil between her and the people. (See H. 371)

A man from his Companions got up and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! If you are not in need of her, then marry her to me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you got something to offer (as a Mahr)?" The man said, "No, by Allāh, O Allāh's Messenger!" The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Go to your family and see if you have something." The man went and returned, saying, "No, by Allāh, I have not found anything." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "(Go again) and look for something, even if it is an iron ring." He went again and returned, saying, "No, by Allāh, O Allāh's Messenger! I could not find even an iron ring, but this is my Izār(1) (waistsheet).” He had no Ridā(1). He added, “I give half of it to her.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “What will she do with your Izār? If you wear it, she will be naked, and if she wears it, you will be naked.” So that man sat down for a long while and then got up (to depart). When Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ saw him going, he ordered that he be called back. When he came, the Prophet ﷺ said, “How much of the Qur’ān do you know?” He said, “I know such Sūrah and such Sūrah,” “Do you know them by heart?” He replied, “Yes.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Go, I marry her to you for that much of the Qur’ān which you have.”

5088. Narrated ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها: Abū Ḥudhaifa bin ‘Utba bin Rabī‘a bin ‘Abd-Shams who had witnessed the battle of Badr along with the Prophet ﷺ, adopted Sālim as his son, to whom he married his niece, Hind bin Al-Walid bin ‘Utba bin Rabī‘a; and Sālim was the freed slave of an Anṣārī woman, just as the Prophet ﷺ, had adopted Zaid as his son. It was the custom in the pre-Islāmic period that if somebody adopted a boy, the people would call him the son of the adoptive father and he would be the latter's heir. But when Allāh revealed the Divine Verses: "Call them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers (up to) and Mawālikum (your freed slaves)." (V.33:5), the adopted persons were called by their father's names. The one whose father was not known, would be regarded as a Maulā and your brother in religion. Later on Sahla bint Suhail bin 'Amr Al-Qurashī Al-'Āmirī - and she was the wife of Hudhaifa bin 'Utba - came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We used to consider Sālim as our (adopted) son, and now Allāh has revealed what you know (regarding adopted sons)." The subnarrator then mentioned the rest of the narration. (See H. 4000)

They replied, "If he asks for a lady's hand, he ought to be given her in marriage; and if he intercedes (for someone), his intercession will be accepted; and if he speaks, he will be listened to". Allāh's Messenger ﷺ kept silent, and then another man from among the poor Muslims passed by, and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ asked (them), "What do you say about this man?" They replied, "If he asks for a lady's hand in marriage, no one will accept him, and if he intercedes (for someone), his intercession will not be accepted; and if he speaks, he will not be listened to." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "This poor man is better than so many of the first as to fill the earth." (See Hadīth No. 6447, Vol 8).

5092. Narrated 'Urwa that he asked 'Āishah رضي الله عنها regarding the Verse: 'If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans.' (V.4:3) She said, "O my nephew! This Verse refers to the orphan girl who is under the guardianship of her guardian who likes her beauty and wealth and wishes to (marry her and) curtails her Mahr. Such guardians have been forbidden to marry them unless they do justice by giving them their full Mahr, and they have been ordered to marry other than them. The people asked for the verdict of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ after that, so Allāh revealed: 'They ask your legal instruction concerning the women... whom you desire to marry.' (V.4:127) So Allāh revealed to them that if the orphan girl had beauty and wealth, they desired to marry her and for her family status. They can only marry them if they give them their full Mahr. And if they had no desire to marry them because of their lack of wealth and beauty, they would leave them and marry other women. So, as they used to leave them, when they had no interest, in them, they were forbidden to marry them when they had such interest, unless they treated them justly and gave them their full Mahr.

5098. Narrated ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها عنها (regarding) the Verse – “And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans...” (V.4:3): It is about the orphan girl who is in the custody of a man who is her guardian, and he intends to marry her because of her wealth, but he treats her badly and does not manage her property fairly and honestly. Such a man should marry women of his liking other than her, two or three or four. (1) (Ch. 20) The Arabic word for ‘or’ in the Verses mentioned here are ‘wa’ which means ‘and’ in other contexts. This is why the Verses are followed by comments to indicate that the word ‘wa’ occurring here, means ‘or’ (not ‘and’).

5105. Ibn 'Abbās further said, "Seven types of marriages are unlawful because of blood relations, and seven because of marriage relations.” Then Ibn ‘Abbās recited the Verse: “Forbidden to you (for marriage) are your mothers...” (V.4:23) ‘Abdullāh bin Ja’far married the daughter and wife of ‘Alī at the same time (they were step-daughter and mother). Ibn Sirīn said, “There is no harm in that.” But Al-Ḥasan Al-Baṣrī disapproved of it at first, but then said that there was no harm in it. Al-Ḥasan bin Al-Ḥasan bin ‘Alī married two of his cousins in one night. Ja’far bin Zaid disapproved of that because it would bring about hatred (between the two cousins), but it is not unlawful, as Allāh said, “Lawful to you are all others [beyond those (mentioned)].” (V.4:24) Ibn ‘Abbās said, “If somebody commits illegal sexual intercourse with his wife’s sister, his wife does not become unlawful for him”. And narrated Abū Ja’far, “If a person commits homosexuality with a boy, then the mother of that boy is unlawful for him to marry.” Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās, “If one commits illegal sexual intercourse with his mother-in-law, then his married relation to his wife does not become unlawful.” Abū Naṣr is reported to have said that Ibn ‘Abbās in the above case, regarded his marital relation to his wife unlawful, but Abū Naṣr is not known well for hearing Ḥādīth from Ibn Abbās. Imrān bin Ḥusain, Jābir bin Zaid, Al-Ḥasan and some other Irāqīs, are reported to have judged that his marital relations to his wife would be unlawful. In the above case Abū Hurairah said, “The marital relation to one’s wife does not become unlawful except if one has had sexual intercourse (with her mother).” Ibn Al-Musaiyab, ‘Urwa, and Az- Zuhri allow such a person to keep his wife. 'Ali said, "His marital relations to his wife does not become unlawful."

Salama bin Al-Akwa' said: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "If a man and a woman agree (to marry temporarily), their marriage (1) (Chap. 32) Nikāh-al-Mut'a means temporary marriage for a limited period of time. This type of marriage was allowed in the early days of Islām in cases of necessity, but the Prophet ﷺ finally prohibited it forever. (See H. 5115 and 4216) should last for three nights, and if they like to continue, they can do so; and if they want to separate, they can do so." I do not know whether that was only for us or for all the people in general. Abū 'Abdullāh (Al-Bukhārī) said: 'Ali made it clear that the Prophet ﷺ said, "The Mut'a marriage has been cancelled (made unlawful)."

5121. Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd: A woman presented herself to the Prophet ﷺ (for marriage). A man said to him, "O Allāh's Messenger! (If you are not in need of her) marry her to me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What have you got?" The man said, "I have nothing." The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Go and search (for something) even if it were an iron ring." The man went and returned saying, "No, I have not found anything, not even an iron ring; but this is my (Izār) waistsheet, and half of it is for her." He had no Ridā (upper garment). The Prophet ﷺ said, "What will she do with your waistsheet?" If you wear it, she will have nothing over her; and if she wears it, you will have nothing over you." So the man sat down and when he had sat a long time, he got up (to leave). When the Prophet ﷺ saw him (leaving), he called 'back, or the man was called (for him), and he said to the man, "How much of the Qur'an do you know (by heart)?"

5122. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنه: 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said, "When Ḥafṣa bint 'Umar became a widow after the death of (her husband) Khunais bin Ḥudhāfa As-Sahmī who had been one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ - and he died at Al-Madīna - I went to 'Uthmān bin 'Affān and presented Ḥafṣa (for marriage) to him. He said, 'I will think it over.' I waited for a few days, then he met me and said, 'It seems that it is not possible for me to marry at present'." 'Umar further said, "I met Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq and said to him, 'If you wish, I will marry my daughter Ḥafṣa to you.' Abū Bakr kept quiet and did not say anything to me in reply. I became more angry with him than with 'Uthmān. I waited for a few days and then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ asked for her hand, and I gave her in marriage to him. Afterwards I met Abū Bakr who said, 'Perhaps you became angry with me when you presented Hafsa to me and I did not give you a reply?' I said, 'Yes.' Abū Bakr said, 'Nothing stopped me to respond to your offer except that I knew that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had mentioned her, and I never wanted to let out the secret of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. And if Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had refused her, I would have accepted her'."

5124. Ibn 'Abbās said: "Hint your intention of marrying" is made by saying (to the widow) for example: 'I want to marry, and I wish that Allāh will make a righteous lady available for me'. Al-Qāsim said: One may say to the widow: 'I hold all respect for you, and I am interested in you; Allāh will bring you much good,' or something similar. 'Aṭā said: One should hint his intention, and should not declare it openly. One may say: 'I have some need. Have good tidings. Praise is to Allāh; you are fit to remarry.' She (the widow) may say in reply: 'I am listening to what you say,' but she should not make a promise. Her guardian should not make a promise (to somebody to get her married to him) without her knowledge. But if, while still in the 'Iddat period, she makes a promise to marry somebody, and he ultimately marries her, they are not to be separated by divorce (i.e., the marriage is valid).

He looked at her carefully and fixed his glance on her and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not say anything, she sat down. A man from his companions got up and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! If you are not in need of her, then marry her to me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Have you got anything to offer?" The man said, "No, by Allāh, O Allāh's Messenger!" The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Go to your family and try to find something." So the man went and returned, saying, "No, by Allāh, O Allāh's Messenger! I have not found anything." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go again and look for something, even if it were an iron ring." He went and returned, saying, "No, by Allāh, O Allāh's Messenger! I could not find even an iron ring, but this is my Izār (waistsheet)." He had no Ridā (upper garment). He added, "I give half of it to her." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "What will she do with your Izār? If you wear it, she will have nothing over herself thereof (will be naked); and if she wears it, then you will have nothing over yourself thereof." So the man sat for a long period and then got up (to leave). When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saw him leaving, he ordered that he be called back. When he came, the Prophet ﷺ asked (him), "How much of the Qur'an do you know (by heart)?" The man replied, "I know such Sūrah and such Sūrah and such Sūrah," naming the Sūrah. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Can you recite them by heart?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go, I let you marry her for what you know of the Qur'an."

5127. Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ told him that there were four types of marriage during the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance. One type was similar to that of the present day, i.e., a man used to ask somebody else for the hand of a girl under his guardianship or for his daughter's hand, and give her Mahr and then marry her. The second type was that a man would say to his wife after she had become clean from her period, "Send for so- and-so and have sexual relations with him." Her husband would then keep away from her and would never sleep with her till she got pregnant from the other man with whom she was sleeping. When her pregnancy became evident, her husband would sleep with her if he wished. Her husband did so (i.e., let his wife sleep with some other man) so that he might have a child of noble breed. Such marriage was called Al-Istibdā. Another type of marriage was that a group of less than ten men would assemble and enter upon a woman, and all of them would have sexual relation with her. If she became pregnant and delivered a child and some days had passed after her delivery, she would sent for all of them and none of them would refuse to come, and when they all gathered before her, she would say to them, "You (all) know what you have done, and now I have given birth to a child. So, it is your child, O so-and-so!" naming whoever she liked, and her child would follow him and he could not refuse to take him. The fourth type of marriage was that many people would enter upon a lady and she would never refuse anyone who came to her. Those were the prostitutes who used to fix flags at their doors as signs, and he who wished, could have sexual intercourse with them. If anyone of them got pregnant and delivered a child, then all those men would be gathered for her and they would call the Qā'if (persons skilled in recognizing the likeness of a child to his father) to them and would let the child follow the man (whom they recognized as his father) and she would let him adhere to him and be called his son. The man could not refuse all that. But when Muhammad ﷺ was sent with the Truth, he abolished all the types of marriages observed in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance except the type of marriage the people recognize today.

5130. Narrated Al-Hasan concerning the Verse – “...do not prevent them [from marrying their (former) husbands]...” (V.2:232): Ma’quil bin Yasār told me that it was revealed in his connection. He said, “I married my sister to a man and he divorced her, and when her days of ‘Idda (three menstrual periods) were over, the man came again and asked for her hand, but I said to him, ‘I married her to you and made her your bed (your wife) and favoured you with her, but you divorced her. Now you come to ask for her hand again? No, by Allāh, she will never go back to you (again)!’ That man was not a bad man and his wife wanted to go back to him. So Allāh revealed this Verse: “...do not prevent them [from marrying their (former) husbands]....” (V.2:232) So I said, ‘Now I will do it (let her go back to him), O Allāh’s Messenger.’” So he married her to him again.

So she prepared Haisa (a sweet dish) made from dates, butter and dried yoghurt and she sent it with me to him. I took it to him and he said, "Put it down," and ordered me to call some men whom he named, and to invite whomever I would meet. I did what he ordered me to do, and when I returned, I found the house crowded with people and saw the Prophet ﷺ keeping his hand over the Haisa and saying over it whatever Allāh wished (him to say). Then he called the men in batches of ten to eat of it, and he said to them, "Mention the Name of Allāh, and each man should eat of the dish the nearest to him." When all of them had finished their meals, some of them left and a few remained there talking, which made me feel unhappy. Then the Prophet ﷺ went out towards the dwelling places (of his wives) and I too, went out after him and told him that those people had left. Then he returned and entered his dwelling place and let the curtains fall while I was in (his) dwelling place, and he was reciting the Verses: 'O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet's house unless permission is given to you for a meal, (and then) not (so early as) to wait for its preparation. But when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken your meals, disperse without sitting for a talk. Verily, such (behaviour) annoys the Prophet; and he is shy of (asking) you (to go), but Allāh is not shy of (telling you) the truth...'

My mother and aunts used to urge me to serve the Prophet ﷺ regularly, and I served him for ten years.

When the day dawned, the Prophet ﷺ was a bridegroom and he invited the people to a banquet, so they came, ate, and then all left except a few who remained with the Prophet ﷺ for a long time. The Prophet ﷺ got up and went out, and I too went out with him so that those people might leave too. The Prophet ﷺ proceeded and so did I, till he came to the threshold of 'Aishah's dwelling place. Then thinking that these people have left by then, he returned and so did I along with him till he entered upon Zainab and behold, they were still sitting and had not gone. So the Prophet ﷺ again went away and I went away along with him. When we reached the threshold of 'Aishah dwelling place, he thought that they had left, and so he returned and I too, returned along with him and found those people had left. Then the Prophet ﷺ drew a curtain between me and him, and the Verses of Al-Hijāb were revealed.

I noticed the sign of disapproval on his face and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I repent to Allāh and His Messenger. What sin have I committed?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "What is this cushion?" I said, "I have bought it for you so that you may sit on it and recline on it." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "The makers of these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them, 'Give life to what you have created (i.e., these pictures)'.

5189. Narrated ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها: Eleven women sat (at a place) and promised and contracted that they would not conceal anything of the news of their husbands. The first one said, “My husband is like the meat of a lean weak camel which is kept on the top of a mountain which is neither easy to climb, nor is the meat fat, so that one might put up with the trouble of fetching it.”(1) The second one said, “I shall not relate my husband's news, for I fear that I may not be able to finish his story, for if I describe him, I will mention all his defects and bad traits.” The third one said, “My husband is a tall man; if I describe him (and he hears of that) he will divorce me, and if I keep quiet, he will neither divorce me nor treat me as a wife.” The fourth one said, “My husband is a moderate person like the night of Tihāma which is neither hot nor cold. I am neither afraid of him, nor am I discontented with him.” The fifth one said, “My husband, when entering (the house) is a leopard, and when going out, is a lion. He does not ask about whatever is in the house.”(2) The sixth one said, “If my husband eats, he eats too much (leaving the dishes empty), and if he drinks he leaves nothing, and if he sleeps he sleeps alone (away from me) covered in garments and does not stretch his hands here and there so as to know how I fare (get along).” The seventh one said, “My husband is a wrongdoer or weak and foolish. All the defects are present in him. He may injure your head or your body or may do both.” The eighth one said, “My husband is soft to touch like a rabbit and smells like a Zarnab (a kind of good smelling grass).” The ninth one said, “My husband is a tall generous man wearing a long strap for carrying his sword.(1) His ashes are abundant(2) and his house is near to the people who would easily consult him.”(3) The tenth one said, “My husband is Mālik, and what is Mālik? Mālik is greater than whatever I say about him. (He is beyond and above all praises which can come to my mind). Most of his camels are kept at home (ready to be slaughtered for the guests) and only a few are taken to the pastures. When the camels hear the sound of the lute (or the tambourine) they realize that they are going to be slaughtered for the guests.” The eleventh one said, “My husband is Abū Zar’a, and what is Abū Zar’a (i.e., what should I say about him)? He has given me many ornaments and my ears are heavily loaded with them and my arms have become fat (i.e., I have become fat). And he has pleased me, and I have become so happy that I feel proud of myself. He found me with my family who were mere owners of sheep and living in poverty, and brought me to a respected family having horses and camels and threshing and purifying grain(4). Whatever I say, he does not rebuke or insult me. When I sleep, I sleep till late in the morning, and when I drink water (or milk), I drink my fill. The mother of Abū Zar'a and what may one say in praise of the mother of Abū Zar'a? Her saddle bags were always full of provision and her house was spacious(1). As for the son of Abū Zar'a what may one say of the son of Abū Zar'a? His bed is as narrow as an unsheathed sword and an arm of a kid (of four months) satisfies his hunger.(2) As for the daughter of Abū Zar'a she is obedient to her father and to her mother. She has a fat well-built body and that arouses the jealousy of her husband's other wife. As for the (maid) slave-girl of Abū Zar'a, what may one say of the (maid) slave-girl of Abū Zar'a? She does not uncover our secrets but keeps them, and does not waste our provisions and does not leave the rubbish scattered everywhere in our house."(3) The eleventh lady added, "One day it so happened that Abū Zar'a went out at the time when the milk was being milked from the animals, and he saw a woman who had two sons like two leopards playing with her two breasts. (On seeing her) he divorced me and married her. Thereafter I married a noble man who used to ride a fast tireless horse and keep a spear in his hand. He gave me many things, and also a pair of every kind of livestock and said, 'Eat (of this), O Umm Zar'a, and give provision to your relatives'." She added, "Yet, all those things which my second husband gave me could not fill the smallest utensil of Abū Zar'a's." Āishah رضي الله عنها then said: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to me, "I am to you as Abū Zar'a was to his wife Umm Zar'a".

Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: I had been eager to ask 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb about the two ladies from among the wives of the Prophet ﷺ regarding whom Allāh تعالى said: "If you two (wives of the Prophet ﷺ) turn in repentance to Allāh (it will be better for you) your hearts are indeed so inclined to oppose what the Prophet ﷺ likes)." (V.66:4) Till 'Umar performed the Hajj and I too, performed the Hajj along with him. (On the way) 'Umar went aside to answer the call of nature, and I also went aside along with him carrying a tumbler full of water, and when 'Umar had finished answering the call of nature, I poured water over his hands and he performed the ablution. Then I said to him, "O chief of the believers! Who were the two ladies from among the wives of the Prophet ﷺ regarding whom Allāh تعالى said: "If you two (wives of the Prophet ﷺ) turn in repentance to Allāh (it will be better for you) your hearts are indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet ﷺ likes)?" (V.66:4) He said, "I am astonished at your question, O Ibn 'Abbās. They were 'Aishah and Ḥafṣa." Then 'Umar went on narrating the Hadīth and said, "I and an Anṣārī neighbour of mine from Banī Umayya bin Zaid who used to live in 'Awālī-al-Madīna, used to visit the Prophet ﷺ in turn. He used to go one day and I another day. When I went, I would bring him the news of what had happened that day regarding the Divine Revelation and other things, and when he went, he used to do the same for me. We, the people of Quraish used to have the upper hand over our wives, but when we came to the Anṣār, we found that their women had the upper hand over their men, so our women also started learning the ways of the Anṣārī women. I shouted at my wife and she retorted against me and I disliked that she should answer me back. She said to me, 'Why are you so surprised at my answering you back? By Allāh, the wives of the Prophet ﷺ answer him back and some of them may leave (does not speak to) him throughout the day till the night.' The (talk) scared me and I said to her, 'Whoever amongst them has done so will be ruined!' Then I proceeded after dressing myself, and entered upon Ḥafṣa and said to her, 'Does anyōne of you keep the Prophet ﷺ angry till night?' She said, 'Yes.' I said, 'You are a ruined losing person! Don't you fear that Allāh may get angry for the anger of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and thus you will be ruined? So do not ask more from the Prophet ﷺ and do not answer him back and do not give up talking to him. Ask me whatever you need and do not be tempted to imitate your neighbour (i.e., 'Aishah) in her manners for she is more charming than you and more beloved to the Prophet ﷺ.'" 'Umar added, "At that time a talk was circulating among us that (the tribe of) Ghassān were preparing their horses to invade us. My Anṣārī companion, on the day of his turn, went (to the town) and returned to us at night and knocked at my door violently and asked if I was there. I became horrified and came out to him. He said, 'Today a great thing has happened.' I asked, 'What is it? Have (the people of) Ghassān come?' He said, 'No, but (what has happened) is greater and more horrifying than that: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ has divorced his wives.' "Umar added, "The Prophet ﷺ kept away from his wives and I said, 'Hafṣa is a ruined loser.' I had already thought that most probably this (divorce) would happen in the near future. So I dressed myself and offered the morning Ṣalāt (prayer) with the Prophet ﷺ and then the Prophet ﷺ entered an upper room and stayed there in seclusion. I entered upon Hafṣa and saw her weeping. I asked, 'What makes you weep? Did I not warn you about that? Did the Prophet ﷺ divorce you all?' She said, 'I do not know. There he is retired alone in the upper room.' I came out and sat near the pulpit and saw a group of people sitting around it and some of them were weeping. I sat with them for a while but could not endure the situation, so I went to the upper room where the Prophet ﷺ was and said to a black slave of his, 'Will you get the permission (of the Prophet ﷺ) for 'Umar (to enter)?' The slave went in, talked to the Prophet ﷺ about it and then returned saying, 'I have spoken to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned you but he kept quiet.' Then I returned and sat with the group of people sitting near the pulpit, but I could not bear the situation and once again I said to the slave, 'Will you get the permission for 'Umar?' He went in and returned saying, 'I mentioned you to him but he kept quiet.' So I returned again and sat with the group of people sitting near the pulpit, but I could not bear the situation, and so I went to the slave and said, 'Will you get the permission for 'Umar?' He went in and returned to me saying, 'I mentioned you to him but he kept quiet.' When I was leaving, behold! The slave called me, saying, 'The Prophet ﷺ has given you permission.' Then I entered upon Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and saw him lying on a bed made of stalks of date palm leaves and there was no bedding between it and him. The stalks left marks on his side and he was leaning on a leather pillow stuffed with date-palm fibres. I greeted him and while still standing I said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! Have you divorced your wives?' He looked at me and said, 'No.' I said, 'Allāhu Akbar!' And then, while still standing, I said chatting, 'Will you heed what I say, O Allāh's Messenger? We, the people of Quraish used to have power over our women, but when we arrived at Al-Madīna we found that the men (here) were overpowered by their women.' The Prophet ﷺ smiled and then I said to him, 'Will you heed what I say, O Allāh's Messenger? I entered upon Hāṣa and said to her, 'Do not be tempted to imitate your companion ('Aīshah), for she is more charming than you and more beloved to the Prophet.' The Prophet ﷺ smiled for a second time. When I saw him smiling, I sat down. Then I looked around his house, and by Allāh, I could not see anything of importance in his house except three hides, so I said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! Invoke Allāh to make your followers rich, for the Persians and the Romans have been made prosperous and they have been given (the pleasures of the world), although they do not worship Allāh.' Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ sat up as he was reclining, and said, 'Are you of such an opinion, O the son of Al-Khaṭṭāb? These are the people who have received the rewards for their good deeds in this world.' I said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! Ask Allāh to forgive me.' Then the Prophet ﷺ kept away from his wives for twenty-nine days because of the story which Ḥafṣa had disclosed to 'Āishah. The Prophet ﷺ had said, 'I will not enter upon them (my wives) for one month,' because of his anger towards them, when Allāh عزَّ وجلَّ had admonished him.(1) So, when twenty-nine days had passed, the Prophet ﷺ first entered upon 'Āishah. 'Āishah said to him, 'O Allāh's Messenger! You had sworn that you would not enter upon us for one month, but now only twenty-nine days have passed, for I have been counting them one by one.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The (present) month is of twenty-nine days.' 'Āishah added, 'Then Allāh revealed the Verses of the option.'(2) And out of all his wives he asked me first, and I chose him.' Then he gave option to his other wives and they said what 'Āishah had said."

Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: During the lifetime of Allāh's Messenger the sun eclipsed, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ offered the Ṣalāt (prayer) of (the eclipse) and so did the people along with him. He performed a long Qiyām (standing posture) during which Sūrat Al-Baqarah could have been recited; then he performed a prolonged bowing, then raised his head and stood for a long time which was slightly less than that of the first Qiyām (and recited Qur'an). Then he performed a prolonged bowing again but the period was shorter than the period of the first bowing, then he stood up and then prostrated. Again he stood up but this time the period of standing was less than the first standing. Then he performed a prolonged bowing but of a lesser duration than the first, then he stood up again for a long time but for a lesser duration than the first. Then he performed a prolonged bowing but of lesser duration than the first, and then he again stood up, and then prostrated and then finished his Ṣalāt (prayer). By then the sun eclipse had cleared. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allāh, and they do not eclipse because of the death or birth of someone, so when you observe the eclipse, remember Allāh [offer the eclipse Ṣalāt (prayer)]." They (the people) said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We saw you stretching your hand to take something at this place of yours, then we saw you stepping backward." He said, "I saw Paradise (or Paradise was shown to me), and I stretched my hand to pluck a bunch (of grapes), and had I plucked it, you would have eaten of it as long as this world exists. Then I saw the (Hell) Fire, and I have never, seen such a horrible sight as that before, and I saw that the majority of its dwellers were women." The people asked, "O Allāh's Messenger! What is the reason for that?" He replies, "Because of their disbelief (ungratefulness)." It was said. "Do they disbelieve in Allāh (are they ungrateful to Allāh)?" He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and ungrateful to Al-Ihsān (good favours done to them). Even if you do good to one of them all your life, when she sees something (not of her liking) from you, she will say, "I have never seen any good from you."
