3505. Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair was the most beloved person to 'Āishah excluding the Prophet ﷺ, and Abū Bakr, and he in his turn, was the most devoted to her. 'Āishah used not to withhold the money given to her by Allāh, but she used to spend it in charity. ('Abdullāh) bin Az-Zubair said, "'Āishah should be stopped from doing so." (When 'Āishah heard this), she said protestingly, "Shall I be stopped from doing so? I vow that I will never talk to 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair." On that, Ibn Az-Zubair asked some people from Quraish and particularly the two uncles of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ to intercede with her, but she refused (to talk to him). Az-Zuhriyūn, the uncles of the Prophet ﷺ, including 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abd Yaghūth and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama said to him, "When we ask for the permission to visit her, enter her house along with us (without taking her leave)." He did accordingly (and she accepted their intercession). He sent her ten slaves whom she manumitted as an expiation for (not keeping) her vow. 'Āishah manumitted more slaves for the same purpose till she manumitted forty slaves. She said, "I wish I had specified what I would have done in case of not fulfilling my vow when I made the vow, so that I might have done it easily.”(1)

3505 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ: كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَحَبَّ البَشَرِ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَكَانَ أَبَرَّ النَّاسِ بِهَا، وَكَانَتْ لاَ تُمْسِكُ شَيْئًا مِمَّا جَاءَهَا مِنْ رِزْقِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا تَصَدَّقَتْ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ: يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ عَلَى يَدَيْهَا، فَقَالَتْ: «أَيُؤْخَذُ عَلَى يَدَيَّ، عَلَيَّ نَذْرٌ إِنْ كَلَّمْتُهُ»، فَاسْتَشْفَعَ إِلَيْهَا بِرِجَالٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، وَبِأَخْوَالِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاصَّةً فَامْتَنَعَتْ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الزُّهْرِيُّونَ أَخْوَالُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مِنْهُمْ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ يَغُوثَ، وَالمِسْوَرُ بْنُ مَخْرَمَةَ: إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَّا فَاقْتَحِمُ الحِجَابَ، فَفَعَلَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا بِعَشْرِ رِقَابٍ فَأَعْتَقَتْهُمْ، ثُمَّ لَمْ تَزَلْ تُعْتِقُهُمْ حَتَّى بَلَغَتْ أَرْبَعِينَ، فَقَالَتْ: «وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي جَعَلْتُ حِينَ حَلَفْتُ عَمَلًا أَعْمَلُهُ فَأَفْرُغُ مِنْهُ»
