Hadith 11451
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ اجْتَمَعَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَقُلْنَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَيَّتُنَا أَسْرَعُ بِكَ لُحُوقًا فَقَالَ ”أَطْوَلُكُنَّ يَدًا“ فَأَخَذْنَا قَصَبًا فَذَرَعْنَاهَا فَكَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ أَطْوَلَنَا ذِرَاعًا فَقَالَتْ تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ أَسْرَعَنَا بِهِ لُحُوقًا فَعَرَفْنَا بَعْدُ إِنَّمَا كَانَ طُولُ يَدِهَا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ وَكَانَتْ امْرَأَةً تُحِبُّ الصَّدَقَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that one day the wives of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were gathered with him. They asked him: "O Prophet of Allah! Which one of us will join you first?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "The one among you whose hand is the longest will join me first." We took a stick and measured our hands, and among us, Sayyida Sawda bint Zam'a (may Allah be pleased with her) had the longest hand. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, the first among us to join the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was Sayyida Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her), meaning she was the first among the pure wives to pass away. Later, we realized that her hand was long in giving charity; she loved to give charity very much.
