English translation

5236. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: The Prophet ﷺ was screening me with his Ridā (garment covering the upper part of the body) while I was looking at the Ethiopians who were playing in the courtyard of the mosque. (I continued watching) till I was satisfied. So you may deduce from this event how a little girl (who has not reached the age of puberty) who is eager to enjoy amusement should be treated in this respect. (See H.454)

Arabic text

5236 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الحَنْظَلِيُّ، عَنْ عِيسَى، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: «رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ، وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الحَبَشَةِ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي المَسْجِدِ، حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا الَّتِي أَسْأَمُ»، فَاقْدُرُوا قَدْرَ الجَارِيَةِ الحَدِيثَةِ السِّنِّ، الحَرِيصَةِ عَلَى اللَّهْوِ
