Arabic text

3377 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «تَزَوَّجَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي شَوَّالٍ، وَأُدْخِلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فِي شَوَّالٍ، فَأَيُّ نِسَائِهِ كَانَ أَحْظَى عِنْدَهُ مِنِّي؟»

Commentary

1. During the period of ignorance, the people considered the month of Shawwal ill-boding on account of its inherent meaning, and did not consider appropriate to marry or make any construction in this month. It is mere superstition, there is no truth in it. The name of the month casts no effect on its days. Islam is against such superstitions and any hindrance brought on its account in human relations. Islam considers it bad belief. Alas! Nowadays some Muslims also hold such views regarding the month of Muharram. The term Shawwal is derived from Shaul, which connotes a horse's shaking its tail rebelliously and raising it. 2. 'In Shawwal': There was an interval of three years between the marriage and then living together. May Allâh be well-pleased with her.
