2053. It was narrated that 'Āishah said: "When the following was revealed: 'But if you desire Allāh and His Messenger,'[1] the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered upon me and said: 'O 'Āishah! I want to say something to you, and you do not have to hasten (in making a decision) until you have consulted your parents.'" She said: "He knew, by Allāh, that my parents would never tell me to leave him." She said: "Then he recited to me: 'O Prophet (Muhammad)! Say to your wives: "If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter."[2] I said: 'Do I need to consult my parents about this? I choose Allāh and His Messenger.''" (Sahih)

2053 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ: {وَإِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ} [الأحزاب: 29] ، دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا عَائِشَةُ، إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا، فَلَا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لَا تَعْجَلِي فِيهِ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ» ، قَالَتْ: قَدْ عَلِمَ، وَاللَّهِ، أَنَّ أَبَوَيَّ لَمْ يَكُونَا لِيَأْمُرَانِي بِفِرَاقِهِ، قَالَتْ: فَقَرَأَ عَلَيَّ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا} [الأحزاب: 28] الْآيَاتِ، فَقُلْتُ: فِي هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَيَّ قَدِ اخْتَرْتُ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ

Commentary

a. This Hadith signifies the virtue of 'Āishah ﷺ, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ conveyed Allāh's Message first of all to her. b. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not want the Mother of the Believers to make any wrong or sentimental decision because of her young age, therefore, he instructed her to seek the consent of her parents.
