English translation

2135. It was reported from Hishām bin 'Urwah, from his father, that 'Āishah said: "O nephew! The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would not prefer any one of us to another with regards to spending time with us. And hardly a day would go by except that he would visit all of us, and he would come close to each woman, without touching her, until he reached the one whose turn it was, then he would spend the night with her. And when Sawdah bint Zam'ah had become old, and feared that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would leave her, she said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! My day is for 'Āishah.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ accepted that from her. And we would say, concerning that (incident), that it was regarding her, and others in her situation, for which Allāh revealed: And if a woman fears separation from her husband..."[1] (Hasan)

2135 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: «يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الْقَسْمِ، مِنْ مُكْثِهِ عِنْدَنَا، وَكَانَ قَلَّ يَوْمٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ عَلَيْنَا جَمِيعًا، فَيَدْنُو مِنْ كُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسِيسٍ، حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ إِلَى الَّتِي هُوَ يَوْمُهَا فَيَبِيتَ عِنْدَهَا» وَلَقَدْ قَالَتْ سَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ: حِينَ أَسَنَّتْ وَفَرِقَتْ أَنْ يُفَارِقَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، يَوْمِي لِعَائِشَةَ، فَقَبِلَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْهَا، قَالَتْ: نَقُولُ فِي ذَلِكَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَفِي أَشْبَاهِهَا أُرَاهُ قَالَ: {وَإِنِ امْرَأَةٌ خَافَتْ مِنْ بَعْلِهَا نُشُوزًا} [النساء: 128]
