4875. It was narrated that 'Āishah said: "I said to the Prophet ﷺ: 'It is enough for you that Sāfiyyah is such and such'" - someone other than Musaddad said: "meaning that she was short." - "He said: 'You have spoken a word, that if the sea were to be mixed with it, it would change it.'" She said: "I mimicked someone before him, and he said: "I would not like to mimic someone even, if I got such and such." (Sahih)

Arabic text

4875 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْأَقْمَرِ، عَنْ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: حَسْبُكَ مِنْ صَفِيَّةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ غَيْرُ مُسَدَّدٍ: تَعْنِي قَصِيرَةً، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ قُلْتِ كَلِمَةً لَوْ مُزِجَتْ بِمَاءِ الْبَحْرِ لَمَزَجَتْهُ» قَالَتْ: وَحَكَيْتُ لَهُ إِنْسَانًا، فَقَالَ: «مَا أُحِبُّ أَنِّي حَكَيْتُ إِنْسَانًا وَأَنَّ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا»
