2581. Narrated 'Urwa that 'Aīshah رضي الله عنها said: The wives of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ were in two groups." 'Urwa added: One group consisted of 'Aīshah, Hafṣa, Ṣafīyya and Sauda; and the other group consisted of Umm Salama and the other wives of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. The Muslims knew that Allāh's Messenger loved 'Aīshah, so if any of them had a gift and wished to give to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, he would delay it till Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had come to 'Aishah's home and then he would send his gift to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in her home. The group of Umm Salama discussed the matter together and decided that Umm Salama should request Allāh's Messenger ﷺ to tell the people to send their gifts to him in whatever wife's house he was. Umm Salama told Allāh's Messenger ﷺ of what they had said, but he did not reply. Then they (those wives) asked Umm Salama about it. She said, "He did not say anything to me." They asked her to talk to him again. She talked to him again when she met him on her day, but he gave no reply. When they asked her, she replied that he had given no reply. They said to her, "Talk to him till he gives you a reply." When it was her turn, she talked to him again. He then said to her, "Do not hurt me regarding 'Aishah, as the Divine Revelations do not come to me on any of the beds except that of 'Aishah." On that Umm Salama said, "I repent to Allāh for hurting you." Then the group of Umm Salama called Fāṭima, the daughter of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and sent her to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ to say to him, "Your wives request to treat them and the daughter of Abū Bakr on equal terms." Then Fāṭima conveyed the message to him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O my daughter! Don't you love whom I love?" She replied in the affirmative and returned and told them of the situation. They requested her to go to him again, but she refused. They then sent Zainab bint Jahsh who went to him and used harsh words saying, "Your wives request you to treat them and the daughter of Ibn Abū Quḥāfa on equal terms." On that she raised her voice and turned to 'Aishah who was sitting and insulted her so much so that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ looked at 'Aishah to see whether she would retort. 'Aishah started replying to Zainab till she silenced her. The Prophet ﷺ then looked at 'Aishah and said, "She is really the daughter of Abū Bakr."(1)

2581 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَنَّ نِسَاءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُنَّ حِزْبَيْنِ، فَحِزْبٌ فِيهِ عَائِشَةُ وَحَفْصَةُ وَصَفِيَّةُ وَسَوْدَةُ، وَالحِزْبُ الآخَرُ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ وَسَائِرُ نِسَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَكَانَ المُسْلِمُونَ قَدْ عَلِمُوا حُبَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَائِشَةَ، فَإِذَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَ أَحَدِهِمْ هَدِيَّةٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُهْدِيَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَخَّرَهَا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ، بَعَثَ صَاحِبُ الهَدِيَّةِ بِهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ، فَكَلَّمَ حِزْبُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقُلْنَ لَهَا: كَلِّمِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ، فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُهْدِيَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَدِيَّةً، فَلْيُهْدِهِ إِلَيْهِ حَيْثُ كَانَ مِنْ بُيُوتِ نِسَائِهِ، فَكَلَّمَتْهُ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ بِمَا قُلْنَ، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهَا شَيْئًا، فَسَأَلْنَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: مَا قَالَ لِي شَيْئًا، فَقُلْنَ لَهَا، فَكَلِّمِيهِ قَالَتْ: فَكَلَّمَتْهُ حِينَ دَارَ إِلَيْهَا أَيْضًا، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهَا شَيْئًا، فَسَأَلْنَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: مَا قَالَ لِي شَيْئًا، فَقُلْنَ لَهَا: كَلِّمِيهِ حَتَّى يُكَلِّمَكِ، فَدَارَ إِلَيْهَا فَكَلَّمَتْهُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: «لاَ تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةَ فَإِنَّ الوَحْيَ لَمْ يَأْتِنِي وَأَنَا فِي ثَوْبِ امْرَأَةٍ، إِلَّا عَائِشَةَ»، قَالَتْ: فَقَالَتْ: أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ أَذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُنَّ دَعَوْنَ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَقُولُ: إِنَّ نِسَاءَكَ يَنْشُدْنَكَ اللَّهَ العَدْلَ فِي بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَكَلَّمَتْهُ فَقَالَ: «يَا بُنَيَّةُ أَلاَ تُحِبِّينَ مَا أُحِبُّ؟»، قَالَتْ: بَلَى، فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ، فَأَخْبَرَتْهُنَّ، فَقُلْنَ: ارْجِعِي إِلَيْهِ، فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ، فَأَرْسَلْنَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ، فَأَتَتْهُ، فَأَغْلَظَتْ، وَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ نِسَاءَكَ يَنْشُدْنَكَ اللَّهَ العَدْلَ فِي بِنْتِ ابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، فَرَفَعَتْ صَوْتَهَا حَتَّى تَنَاوَلَتْ عَائِشَةَ وَهِيَ قَاعِدَةٌ فَسَبَّتْهَا، حَتَّى إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ، هَلْ تَكَلَّمُ، قَالَ: فَتَكَلَّمَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَرُدُّ عَلَى زَيْنَبَ حَتَّى أَسْكَتَتْهَا، قَالَتْ: فَنَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ، وَقَالَ: «إِنَّهَا بِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ»، قَالَ البُخَارِيُّ: «الكَلاَمُ الأَخِيرُ قِصَّةُ فَاطِمَةَ»، يُذْكَرُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَقَالَ أَبُو مَرْوَانَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ: كَانَ النَّاسُ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ، وَعَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، وَرَجُلٍ مِنَ المَوَالِي، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ فَاطِمَةُ
