English translation
4898. It was narrated that Ibn ‘Awn said: “I asked about taking revenge: And indeed whosoever takes revenge after he has suffered wrong, for such there is no way (of blame) against them.”[1] So ‘Ali bin Zaid bin Jud‘ān, narrated to me, from Umm Muḥammad, his father’s wife”[2] – Ibn ‘Awn said: “and they said that she used to enter upon the Mother of the Believers” – He said: “She said: ‘The Mother of the Believers said: ‘The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered upon me and Zainab bint Jahsh was with me. He started to do something with his hand, and I held his hand until he realized that she was there, and he stopped. Zainab started to revile 'Āishah, and he told her to stop, but she refused to stop. He said to 'Āishah: 'Reply to her.' So she replied to her and overwhelmed her. Zainab went to 'Ali, and said: "Āishah reviled you, and said such and such." Fāṭimah came in, and he ('Ali) said to her: 'She is the beloved of your father, by the Lord of the Ka'bah.'" So she went away, and said to them: 'I said such and such to him, and he said such and such to me.' Then 'Ali came to the Prophet ﷺ and spoke to him about that." (Da'if)
