حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَبُو عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: أَقْبَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَالنَّاسُ بِبَابِهِ جُلُوسٌ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عُمَرُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ، ثُمَّ أُذِنَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ فَدَخَلَا وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ، وَحَوْلَهُ نِسَاؤُهُ وَهُوَ سَاكِتٌ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَأُكَلِّمَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَعَلَّهُ يَضْحَكُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَوْ رَأَيْتَ بِنْتَ زَيْدٍ، امْرَأَةَ عُمَرَ، سَأَلَتْنِي النَّفَقَةَ آنِفًا، فَوَجَأْتُ عُنُقَهَا، فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَا نَاجِذُهُ، (٢) قَالَ: " هُنَّ حَوْلِي كَمَا تَرَى يَسْأَلْنَنِي النَّفَقَةَ "، فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ لِيَضْرِبَهَا، وَقَامَ عُمَرُ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ كِلَاهُمَا يَقُولَانِ: تَسْأَلَانِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ، فَنَهَاهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْنَ نِسَاؤُهُ: وَاللهِ لَا نَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْمَجْلِسِ، ، مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ، قَالَ: وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْخِيَارَ، فَبَدَأَ بِعَائِشَةَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي ذاكِرٌ (١) لَكِ أَمْرًا، مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَعْجَلِي فِيهِ، حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ "، قَالَتْ: مَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ: فَتَلَا عَلَيْهَا: {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ} [الأحزاب: ٢٨] الْآيَةَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: أَفِيكَ أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَيَّ؟ بَلْ أَخْتَارُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ لَا تَذْكُرَ لِامْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِكَ مَا اخْتَرْتُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَبْعَثْنِي مُعَنِّفًا، وَلَكِنْ بَعَثَنِي مُعَلِّمًا مُيَسِّرًا، لَا تَسْأَلُنِي امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ عَمَّا (٢) اخْتَرْتِ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتُهَا " (٣)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Abu Bakr came to the house of the Prophet (ﷺ) and sought permission to enter. Since there were many people at the door, he was not granted permission. After a short while, Umar also sought permission, but he too was not allowed to enter. After a little while, both of them were granted permission and they entered the house. At that time, the Prophet (ﷺ) was present, and the pure wives were around him. The Prophet (ﷺ) was sitting silently. Umar thought that he should say something, perhaps it would make the Prophet (ﷺ) smile. So he said, "O Messenger of Allah! If you see the daughter of Zayd (my wife) asking me for maintenance right now, I would press her neck." At this, the Prophet (ﷺ) laughed so much that his blessed teeth became visible. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "These women whom you see with me are also asking me for maintenance." Hearing this, Abu Bakr stood up to hit Sayyidah Aisha, and Umar moved towards Hafsa, and both of them said, "Do you ask the Prophet (ﷺ) for something which he does not possess?" The Prophet (ﷺ) stopped both of them, and all the pure wives said, "By Allah, after today we will not ask the Prophet (ﷺ) for anything which he does not have." After this, Allah revealed the verse of choice (Ayat al-Takhyir). The Prophet (ﷺ) first addressed Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and said, "I want to mention something before you. I do not want you to be hasty in this matter, rather consult your parents first and then give me your answer." She asked, "What is that matter?" The Prophet (ﷺ) recited to her the verse of choice. Upon hearing it, Sayyidah Aisha said, "Will I consult my parents about you? I choose Allah and His Messenger." However, she requested, "Please do not mention my answer to any other wife." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has not sent me as one who is harsh, but rather as one who gives knowledge and makes things easy. Therefore, if any of the wives asks me about your answer, I will surely tell her."
