Original Arabic
وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها: قالت قلت للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حسبك من صفية كذا وكذا. قال بعض الرواة: تعني قصيرة، فقال: "لقد قلت كلمة لو مُزجت بماء البحر لمزجته!" قالت: وحكيت له إنسانًا فقال: “ما أحب أني حكيت إنسانًا وإن لي كذا وكذا”. ((رواه أبو داود والترمذي وقال حديث حسن صحيح.)) ومعني: "مزجته" خالطته مخالطة يتغير بها طعمه، أو ريحه لشدة نتنها وقبحها، وهذا الحديث من أبلغ الزواجر عن الغيبة، قال الله تعالى: {وما ينطق عن الهوى، إن هو إلا وحي يوحى}.

'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said:
I said to the Prophet (ﷺ): "Such and such thing of Safiyyah (May Allah be pleased with her) is sufficient for you." (She means to say that she was a woman with a short stature). He said, "You have indeed uttered a word which would pollute the sea if it were mixed in it." She further said: I imitated a person before him and he said, "I do not like that I should imitate someone even (if I am paid) in return such and such." [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
