English translation

[5668] 17 - (2170) It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "Sawdah went out, after Hijâb had been enjoined upon us, to relieve herself. She was a large woman who stood out among other women, and she was recognizable to anyone who knew her. 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb saw her and said: 'O Sawdah, by Allāh you cannot hide from us. Be careful when you go out.' So she turned back. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was in my house, eating dinner, and he had a bone with meat on it in his hand. She came in and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I went out and 'Umar said such-and-such to me.' Then the Revelation of Allāh came upon him, then it ceased, and the bone was still in his hand; he had not put it down. He said: 'Permission is given to you to go out for your needs.'"

Arabic text

17 - (2170) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: خَرَجَتْ سَوْدَةُ بَعْدَمَا ضُرِبَ عَلَيْهَا الْحِجَابُ لِتَقْضِيَ حَاجَتَهَا، وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً جَسِيمَةً تَفْرَعُ النِّسَاءَ جِسْمًا، لَا تَخْفَى عَلَى مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا، فَرَآهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ: يَا سَوْدَةُ، وَاللهِ مَا تَخْفَيْنَ عَلَيْنَا، فَانْظُرِي كَيْفَ تَخْرُجِينَ، قَالَتْ: فَانْكَفَأَتْ رَاجِعَةً وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِي، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَتَعَشَّى وَفِي يَدِهِ عَرْقٌ، فَدَخَلَتْ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ، فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ: كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَتْ: فَأُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ رُفِعَ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّ الْعَرْقَ فِي يَدِهِ مَا وَضَعَهُ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ قَدْ أُذِنَ لَكُنَّ أَنْ تَخْرُجْنَ لِحَاجَتِكُنَّ» وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، يَفْرَعُ النِّسَاءَ جِسْمُهَا، زَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: فَقَالَ هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي الْبَرَازَ،
