Musnad Ahmad Hadith 14692

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the noble wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) requested an increase in their maintenance. At that time, the Prophet (ﷺ) had nothing, so he could not do so. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) 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 while, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) also came and sought permission, but he too was not granted permission. After a short while, both of them were granted permission and entered the house. At that time, the Prophet (ﷺ) was sitting and his noble wives were around him. Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah! If you see the daughter of Zayd (your wife) asking me for maintenance right now, I will press her neck." Upon this, the Prophet (ﷺ) laughed so much that his blessed teeth became visible. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, these women whom you see with me are 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 have?" The Prophet (ﷺ) stopped both of them, and all the noble 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).
