عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا لِابْنِ أَبِي السَّائِبِ قَاصِّ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ ثَلَاثًا لَتُبَايِعَنِّي عَلَيْهِنَّ أَوْ لَأُنَاجِزَنَّكَ فَقَالَ مَا هُنَّ بَلْ أَنَا أُبَايِعُكِ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَتْ اجْتَنِبِ السَّجْعَ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابَهُ كَانُوا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ مَرَّةً فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي عَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابَهُ وَهُمْ لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ذَاكَ وَقُصَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ مَرَّةً فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَثِنْتَيْنِ فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَثَلَاثًا فَلَا تُمِلَّ النَّاسَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ وَلَا أُلْفِيَنَّكَ تَأْتِي الْقَوْمَ وَهُمْ فِي حَدِيثٍ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِمْ فَتَقْطَعُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَدِيثَهُمْ وَلَكِنِ اتْرُكْهُمْ فَإِذَا جَرَّءُوكَ عَلَيْهِ وَأَمَرُوكَ بِهِ فَحَدِّثْهُمْ
It is narrated from Imam Shabi that Lady Aisha said to the preacher of Medina, Ibn Abi Saib: Remember three things, you must certainly pledge allegiance to me on them, or I will dispute with you. He said: O Mother of the Believers! What are those things? I will definitely pledge allegiance to you. Lady Aisha said: (1) Avoid rhyming in supplication, because the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and the noble Companions did not do so. The words of the narrator Ismail are: I did not find the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and the Companions doing so. (2) Preach to the people once a week, if you refuse then do it twice, if you do not accept even this then do it three times, but do not make people weary of this Book, and (3) I should not find you going to some people while they are engaged in their conversation and you interrupt their talk, rather leave them to their state, yes, if they demand from you and command you, then speak to them.
