[6298] 88 - (2445) It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went out (on a journey), he would draw lots between his wives. The lot fell to 'Aishah and Hafsa, and they both went out with him. When night came, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would travel with 'Aishah, talking with her. Hafsa said to 'Aishah: 'Why don't you ride my camel tonight and I will ride your camel, and you will see and I will see?'''[1] She said: "Yes." So 'Aishah rode Hafsa's camel, and Hafsa rode 'Aishah's camel. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to the camel of 'Aishah, which Hafsa was riding, and he greeted her with Salām and travelled with her, until they halted. 'Aishah missed him and felt jealous, so when they halted she started putting her foot in the grass and saying: "O Lord, let a scorpion or snake come and sting or bite me; he is Your Messenger and I cannot say anything to him."

88 - (2445) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ عَبْدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ أَيْمَنَ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " إِذَا خَرَجَ أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ فَطَارَتِ الْقُرْعَةُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَحَفْصَةَ فَخَرَجَتَا مَعَهُ جَمِيعًا، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذَا كَانَ بِاللَّيْلِ، سَارَ مَعَ عَائِشَةَ يَتَحَدَّثُ مَعَهَا، فَقَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ لِعَائِشَةَ: أَلَا تَرْكَبِينَ اللَّيْلَةَ بَعِيرِي وَأَرْكَبُ بَعِيرَكِ، فَتَنْظُرِينَ وَأَنْظُرُ؟ قَالَتْ: بَلَى، فَرَكِبَتْ عَائِشَةُ عَلَى بَعِيرِ حَفْصَةَ، وَرَكِبَتْ حَفْصَةُ عَلَى بَعِيرِ عَائِشَةَ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى جَمَلِ عَائِشَةَ وَعَلَيْهِ حَفْصَةُ، فَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَارَ مَعَهَا، حَتَّى نَزَلُوا، فَافْتَقَدَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ فَغَارَتْ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلُوا جَعَلَتْ تَجْعَلُ رِجْلَهَا بَيْنَ الْإِذْخِرِ وَتَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ سَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ عَقْرَبًا أَوْ حَيَّةً تَلْدَغُنِي رَسُولُكَ وَلَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَقُولَ لَهُ شَيْئًا

[1] Ibn Hajar (no. 5211) explained that 'Aishah, ❁, conceded due to Hafsa's longing to be able to see what she had not be able to see. And that this may be because they were not riding next to each other, but each of them were in a certain location as is customary in a camel-train, and that the meaning of what would be seen could be the tracks of his camel.
