حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ مُعَاذَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَأْذِنُنَا إِذَا كَانَ فِي يَوْمِ الْمَرْأَةِ مِنَّا بَعْدَ مَا نَزَلَتْ : تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ سورة الأحزاب آية 51" ، قَالَتْ مَعَاذَةُ : فَقُلْتُ لَهَا : مَا كُنْتِ تَقُولِينَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَتْ : كُنْتُ أَقُولُ : " إِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ إِلَيَّ لَمْ أُوثِرْ أَحَدًا عَلَى نَفْسِي " .
Narrated Aishah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to aske our permission on the day he had to stay with one of his wives (by turns) after the following Quranic verse was revealed: "You may distance those whom you like, and draw close to those whom you like" [33: 51]. The narrator Muadhah said: I said to her: What did you say to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? She said: I used to say: If had an option for that, I would not preferred anyone to myself.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
In verse 51 of Surah Al-Ahzab, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, explicitly granted His Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) a concession regarding the matter of turns among his wives. However, despite this concession, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) continued to uphold the obligation of fair division.
The preference given by Aisha (radi Allahu anha) to herself was not due to any personal desire, but rather because of the honor of service that was attained by being close to him, and above all, because it was a means for the descent of blessings and elevation of ranks with Allah.
