6073, 6074, 6075. Narrated 'Aīshah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ that she was told that 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair (on hearing that she was selling, or giving something as a gift) said, "By Allāh, if 'Aīshah does not give up this, I will declare her incompetent to dispose of her wealth." I said, "Did he ('Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair) say so?" They (people) said, "Yes." 'Aīshah said, "I vow to Allāh that I
=his dress should be beautiful and his shoes should be beautiful. The Prophet ﷺ remarked: Verily, Allāh is the Most Beautiful and loves beauty. Pride is to completely disregard the truth and to scorn (looking down upon) the people." (Sahih Muslim, Book of Faith, Vol. 1, Hadīth No. 164).
will never speak to Ibn Az-Zubair." When this desertion lasted long, 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair sought intercession with her, but she said, "By Allāh, I will not accept the intercession of anyone for him, and will not commit a sin by breaking my vow." When this state of affairs was prolonged on Ibn Az-Zubair (he felt it hard on him), he said to Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abd Yaghūth, who were from the tribe of Banī Zuhra, "I beseech you, by Allāh, to let me enter upon 'Aishah, for it is unlawful for her to vow to cut the relation with me." So Al-Miswar and 'Abdur-Raḥmān, wrapping their sheets around themselves, asked 'Aishah's permission saying, "Peace and Allāh's Mercy and Blessings be upon you! Shall we come in?" 'Aishah said, "Come in." They said, "All of us?" She said, "Yes, come in, all of you," not knowing that Ibn Az-Zubair was also with them. So when they entered, Ibn Az-Zubair entered the screened place and got hold of 'Aishah and started requesting her to excuse him, and wept. Al-Miswar and 'Abdur-Raḥmān also started requesting her to speak to him and to accept his repentance. They said (to her), "The Prophet ﷺ forbade what you know of deserting (not speaking to your Muslim brethren), for it is unlawful for any Muslim not to talk to his brother for more than three nights (days)." So when they increased their reminding her (of the superiority of having good relations with kith and kin, and of excusing other's sins), and brought her down to a critical situation, she started reminding them, and wept, saying, "I have made a vow, and (the question of) vow is a difficult one." They (Al-Miswar and 'Abdur-Raḥmān) persisted in their appeal till she spoke with 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair and she manumitted forty
slaves as an expiation for her vow. Later on, whenever she remembered her vow, she used to weep so much that her veil used to become wet with her tears.
