English translation
[5693] 35 - (...) Asmâ’ said: “I used to serve Az-Zubair in the house and he had a horse, which I used to groom, and there was no part of the service that was harder for me than looking after the horse. I used to bring it grass and look after it, and groom it.” He (the sub narrator) said: “Then she got a servant. The Prophet ﷺ brought some prisoners of war and gave her a servant.” She said: “She looked after the horse for me, and she relieved me of that burden.” A man came to me and said: “O Umm ‘Abdullâh, I am a poor man, and I want to set up business in the shade of your house.” She said: “If I allow you, Az-Zubair may refuse. Come and ask me when Az-Zubair is present.” He came and said: “O Umm ‘Abdullâh, I am a poor man and I want to set up business in the shade of your house.” She said: “Is there no place in Al-Madînâh other than my house?” Az-Zubair said to him: “Why would you prevent a poor man from doing business?” He sold things until he acquired some wealth, then I sold our slave woman to him, and Az-Zubair entered upon me when her price was in my lap. He said: "Give it to me," but she said: "I have already decided to give it in charity."
