حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ،، ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: اجْتَمَعَتْ (١) أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَرْسَلْنَ فَاطِمَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْنَ لَهَا: قُولِي لَهُ: إِنَّ نِسَاءَكَ يَنْشُدْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مَعَ عَائِشَةَ فِي مِرْطِهَا، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: إِنَّ نِسَاءَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي إِلَيْكَ وَهُنَّ يَنْشُدْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَتُحِبِّينِي؟ " قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " فَأَحِبِّيهَا " فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ، فَأَخْبَرَتْهُنَّ مَا قَالَ لَهَا، فَقُلْنَ: إِنَّكِ لَمْ تَصْنَعِي شَيْئًا، فَارْجِعِي إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَتْ: وَاللهِ لَا أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ فِيهَا أَبَدًا - قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: وَكَانَتْ (٢) ابْنَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَقًّا - فَأَرْسَلْنَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: هِيَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَامِينِي مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي إِلَيْكَ، وَهُنَّ يَنْشُدْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي ابْنَةِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، قَالَتْ: ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَتْ عَلَيَّ تَشْتُمُنِي، (٣) فَجَعَلْتُ أُرَاقِبُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنْظُرُ طَرْفَهُ، (٤) هَلْ يَأْذَنُ لِي فِي أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ مِنْهَا، فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ، قَالَتْ: فَشَتَمَتْنِي حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ مِنْهَا،، ، فَاسْتَقْبَلْتُهَا، فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ أَفْحَمْتُهَا، قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ " قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: " وَلَمْ أَرَ امْرَأَةً خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، وَأَكْثَرَ صَدَقَةً، وَأَوْصَلَ لِلرَّحِمِ، وَأَبْذَلَ لِنَفْسِهَا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ زَيْنَبَ، مَا عَدَا سَوْرَةً مِنْ غَرْبٍ حَدٍّ كَانَ فِيهَا، تُوشِكُ مِنْهَا الْفِيئَةَ " (١)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the other noble wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) sent Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) to the Prophet (ﷺ). She sought permission to enter the house of the Prophet (ﷺ), who at that time was with Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) under her sheet. The Prophet (ﷺ) granted Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) permission to enter. She came in and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Your noble wives have sent me to you; they request justice from you regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Beloved daughter! Will you not love whom I love?" She replied, "Why not?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said regarding Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Then love her as well." Upon hearing this, Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) stood up and left, and informed the noble wives of the conversation that took place between her and the Prophet (ﷺ). Upon hearing this, they said, "You could not accomplish anything for us. Go to the Prophet (ﷺ) again." Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "By Allah, I will not speak to him about this matter again." Then the noble wives sent Zainab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her). She sought permission, and the Prophet (ﷺ) granted her permission as well. When she entered, she also said, "O Messenger of Allah! Your noble wives have sent me to you; they request justice from you regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah." Aisha says that after this, she (Zainab) began to attack me (with taunts). I kept looking at the Prophet (ﷺ) to see if he would permit me to respond. When I realized that if I responded to her, the Prophet (ﷺ) would not mind, then I began to reply to Zainab, and I did not leave her until I silenced her. The Prophet (ﷺ) kept smiling during this, then said, "She is also the daughter of Abu Bakr." Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says, "I have not seen any woman better than Zainab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), more charitable, more devoted to maintaining family ties, and more absorbed in worshipping Allah. However, the sharpness between co-wives is a separate matter, in which she came close to being equal."
