4789. Narrated Mu'ādha : 'Āishah رضي الله عنها said, "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to take the permission of that wife with whom he was supposed to stay overnight if he wanted to go to one other than her, after this Verse was 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 asked 'Āishah, "What did you use to say (in this case)?" She said, "I used to say to him, 'If I could deny you the permission, (to go to your other wives) I would not allow your favour to be bestowed on any other person than I.'"
