[6290] 83 - (2442) 'Āishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: "The wives of the Prophet ﷺ sent Fāṭimah the daughter of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. She asked permission to enter when he was lying down with me under my cover, and he gave her permission. She said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, your wives have sent me to you to ask you to be just with regard to the daughter of Abū Quhāfah.' I ('Āishah) kept quiet.. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to her: 'O my daughter, do you not love that which I love?' She said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then love this one.' Fāṭimah got up when she heard that from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and she went back to the wives of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and told them what she had said, and what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had said to her. They said to her: 'You have been of no avail for us. Go back to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and say to him: "Your wives urge you to be just with regard to the daughter of Abû Quhâfah.” Fâtimah said: ‘By Allâh, I will never speak to him about her.’ ‘Aishah said: “The wives of the Prophet ﷺ sent Zainab bint Jahsh, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, who was the one who was the closest of them to me in status before the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. I have never seen any woman who was better in religious commitment than Zainab, more fearing of Allâh, more truthful in speech, more keen to uphold family ties, more generous in giving charity, or more keen to draw close to Allâh. But she was quick to lose her temper, although she would calm down as quickly. She asked permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was with ‘Aishah beneath her cover, as he was when Fâtimah had come in. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ gave her permission and she said: ‘O Messenger of Allâh, your wives have sent me to you to ask you to be just with regard to the daughter of Abû Quhâfah.’ Then she showed harshness towards me and insulted me, and I was watching the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to see if he would allow me to respond. This went on, until I realized that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ would not object if I responded. When I started responding, I answered back to everything that she had said. And the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said, smiling: 'She is the daughter of Abû Bakr.'"

83 - (2442) حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ النَّضْرِ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ - قَالَ عَبْدٌ: حَدَّثَنِي وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: حَدَّثَنَا - يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: أَرْسَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ مَعِي فِي مِرْطِي، فَأَذِنَ لَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي إِلَيْكَ يَسْأَلْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، وَأَنَا سَاكِتَةٌ، قَالَتْ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ أَلَسْتِ تُحِبِّينَ مَا أُحِبُّ؟» فَقَالَتْ: بَلَى، قَالَ «فَأَحِبِّي هَذِهِ» قَالَتْ: فَقَامَتْ فَاطِمَةُ حِينَ سَمِعَتْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرَتْهُنَّ بِالَّذِي قَالَتْ، وَبِالَّذِي قَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْنَ لَهَا: مَا نُرَاكِ أَغْنَيْتِ عَنَّا مِنْ شَيْءٍ، فَارْجِعِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُولِي لَهُ: إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ يَنْشُدْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ: وَاللهِ لَا أُكَلِّمُهُ فِيهَا أَبَدًا، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ، فَأَرْسَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي مِنْهُنَّ فِي الْمَنْزِلَةِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَمْ أَرَ امْرَأَةً قَطُّ خَيْرًا فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ زَيْنَبَ. وَأَتْقَى لِلَّهِ وَأَصْدَقَ حَدِيثًا، وَأَوْصَلَ لِلرَّحِمِ، وَأَعْظَمَ صَدَقَةً، وَأَشَدَّ ابْتِذَالًا لِنَفْسِهَا فِي الْعَمَلِ الَّذِي تَصَدَّقُ بِهِ، وَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى، مَا عَدَا سَوْرَةً مِنْ حِدَّةٍ كَانَتْ فِيهَا، تُسْرِعُ مِنْهَا الْفَيْئَةَ، قَالَتْ: فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَ عَائِشَةَ فِي مِرْطِهَا، عَلَى الْحَالَةِ الَّتِي دَخَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ عَلَيْهَا وَهُوَ بِهَا، فَأَذِنَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي إِلَيْكَ يَسْأَلْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، قَالَتْ: ثُمَّ وَقَعَتْ بِي، فَاسْتَطَالَتْ عَلَيَّ، وَأَنَا أَرْقُبُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَرْقُبُ طَرْفَهُ، هَلْ يَأْذَنُ لِي فِيهَا، قَالَتْ: فَلَمْ تَبْرَحْ زَيْنَبُ حَتَّى عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ، قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا وَقَعْتُ بِهَا لَمْ أَنْشَبْهَا حَتَّى أَنْحَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا، قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَتَبَسَّمَ إِنَّهَا «ابْنَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ»
