اُردوEn
عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَرًا أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ فَأَيَّتُهُنَّ خَرَجَ سَهْمُهَا خَرَجَ بِهَا مَعَهُ وَكَانَ يَقْسِمُ لِكُلِّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ يَوْمَهَا وَلَيْلَتَهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّ سَوْدَةَ بِنْتَ زَمْعَةَ كَانَتْ وَهَبَتْ يَوْمَهَا وَلَيْلَتَهَا لِعَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَبْتَغِي بِذَلِكَ رِضَا النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to travel, he would draw lots among his wives, and the one in whose favor the lot was drawn, he would take her along. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to allocate the night and day for each of his wives, except for Sayyida Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her), because she had gifted her day and night to Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). The purpose of Sayyida Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) was to seek the pleasure of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … When Sayyidah Sawdah radi Allahu anha became advanced in age and she feared that perhaps the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam might separate from her, she gifted her day to Sayyidah Aishah radi Allahu anha, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam accepted this gift from her. This was the perfect, wise decision of Sayyidah Sawdah radi Allahu anha.
