اُردوEn
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ كَانَتْ امْرَأَةُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَخْتَضِبُ وَتَتَطَيَّبُ فَتَرَكَتْهُ فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا أَمُشْهِدٌ أَمْ مُغِيبٌ فَقَالَتْ مُشْهِدٌ كَمُغِيبٍ قُلْتُ لَهَا مَا لَكِ قَالَتْ عُثْمَانُ لَا يُرِيدُ الدُّنْيَا وَلَا يُرِيدُ النِّسَاءَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِذَلِكَ فَلَقِيَ عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ يَا عُثْمَانُ أَتُؤْمِنُ بِمَا نُؤْمِنُ بِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأُسْوَةٌ مَا لَكَ بِنَا وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَاصْنَعْ كَمَا نَصْنَعُ
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the wife of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) used to apply henna and perfume, but then she abandoned these things. She came to me, so I asked her: Is your husband present at home or is he absent? She said: He is present, but as if he is absent. I said: What do you mean? What are you trying to say? She said: Uthman neither desires the world nor has any inclination towards women. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, I told him about this matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Uthman! Do you have faith in the same way as we have faith? He said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If this is the case, then there is no example or model for you among us, so do as we do.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Uthman ibn Maz'un radi Allahu anhu was very devoted to worship; due to being engaged in tahajjud (late night prayer) and worship, he had become distant from his wife. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explained to him that besides worship, there are also such rights whose fulfillment is necessary and Sunnah, such as the right of the wife.
