حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ الأَنْطَاكِيُّ مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاق يَعْنِي الْفَزَارِيَّ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، وَعَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ،عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا : أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَتْ : فَسَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقْتُهُ عَلَى رِجْلَيَّ فَلَمَّا حَمَلْتُ اللَّحْمَ سَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقَنِي ، فَقَالَ : هَذِهِ بِتِلْكَ السَّبْقَةِ .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: while she was on a journey along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: I had a race with him (the Prophet) and I outstripped him on my feet. When I became fleshy, (again) I had a race with him (the Prophet) and he outstripped me. He said: This is for that outstripping.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
When Aisha radi Allahu anha was granted the honor of serving the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, she was of a young age.
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, taking her youth into consideration, would provide her with opportunities for amusement.
➋
Children, both boys and girls, should be provided with appropriate opportunities for permissible recreation.
➌
It is not correct to maintain an atmosphere of constant seriousness in the home.
Engaging in appropriate humor with one’s wife and children and trying to make them happy is not contrary to one’s dignity.
➍
This incident took place during a journey.
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum: “You go ahead.”
Afterwards, he raced with the Mother of the Believers radi Allahu anha.
At that time, she outran him.
Several years later, a similar event occurred during another journey, but this time the Mother of the Believers radi Allahu anha lagged behind.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “This is the recompense for that previous race.” See: (Sunan Abi Dawud, Al-Jihad, Chapter: Regarding Racing with a Man, Hadith: 2578)
