Musnad Ahmad Hadith 24986

It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) was with us, and after a part of the night had passed, the Prophet (ﷺ) also came and, joking with her, began to tease her with his hand. He did not know that Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) was also present there. I began to gesture to the Prophet (ﷺ), by which he understood. Seeing this, Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "Will it be like this now? When any woman among us is alone with you, does it happen like I am seeing now?" Then she began to speak harshly to Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (ﷺ) kept trying to stop her, but she did not listen. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "You also take your revenge from her." So I took my revenge from her and prevailed over her. After this, Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) went to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) and told them that Aisha had spoken harshly to her and had said such things to them as well. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Fatima, "You go to the Prophet (ﷺ) and tell him that Aisha has said such things to us." She went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned the whole matter. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah! She is the beloved of your father." Upon this, Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) returned to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and mentioned to him what the Prophet (ﷺ) had said. Then Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Prophet (ﷺ), "Is it not enough for you that Aisha has said such things to us, and when Fatima came to you, you said to her, 'By the Lord of the Ka'bah! She is the beloved of your father.'"
