4788. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها : I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and I used to say, "Can a lady give herself (to a man)?" But when Allāh revealed: "You (O Muḥammad ﷺ) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive whom you will. And whosoever you desire of those whom you have set aside (her turn temporarily) it is no sin on you (to receive her again)..."' (V.33:51) I said (to the Prophet ﷺ), "I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires."

4788 - حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ هِشَامٌ: حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: «كُنْتُ أَغَارُ عَلَى اللَّاتِي وَهَبْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَقُولُ أَتَهَبُ المَرْأَةُ نَفْسَهَا؟» فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: (تُرْجِئُ مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَمَنِ ابْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَ) قُلْتُ: مَا أُرَى رَبَّكَ إِلَّا يُسَارِعُ فِي هَوَاكَ
