حَدَّثَنِي فَرْوَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : " أَسْلَمَتِ امْرَأَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ لِبَعْضِ الْعَرَبِ وَكَانَ لَهَا حِفْشٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، قَالَتْ : فَكَانَتْ تَأْتِينَا فَتَحَدَّثُ عِنْدَنَا فَإِذَا فَرَغَتْ مِنْ حَدِيثِهَا ، قَالَتْ : وَيَوْمُ الْوِشَاحِ مِنْ تَعَاجِيبِ رَبِّنَا أَلَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ بَلْدَةِ الْكُفْرِ أَنْجَانِي فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَتْ ، قَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ : وَمَا يَوْمُ الْوِشَاحِ ، قَالَتْ : خَرَجَتْ جُوَيْرِيَةٌ لِبَعْضِ أَهْلِي وَعَلَيْهَا وِشَاحٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَسَقَطَ مِنْهَا , فَانْحَطَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْحُدَيَّا وَهِيَ تَحْسِبُهُ لَحْمًا , فَأَخَذَتْ فَاتَّهَمُونِي بِهِ فَعَذَّبُونِي , حَتَّى بَلَغَ مِنْ أَمْرِي أَنَّهُمْ طَلَبُوا فِي قُبُلِي , فَبَيْنَاهُمْ حَوْلِي وَأَنَا فِي كَرْبِي إِذْ أَقْبَلَتِ الْحُدَيَّا حَتَّى وَازَتْ بِرُءُوسِنَا ثُمَّ أَلْقَتْهُ فَأَخَذُوهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : لَهُمْ هَذَا الَّذِي اتَّهَمْتُمُونِي بِهِ وَأَنَا مِنْهُ بَرِيئَةٌ " .
Narrated `Aisha: A black lady slave of some of the 'Arabs embraced Islam and she had a hut in the mosque. She used to visit us and talk to us, and when she finished her talk, she used to say: "The day of the scarf was one of our Lord's wonders: Verily! He has delivered me from the land of Kufr." When she said the above verse many times, I (i.e. `Aisha) asked her, "What was the day of the scarf?" She replied, "Once the daughter of some of my masters went out and she was wearing a leather scarf (round her neck) and the leather scarf fell from her and a kite descended and picked it up, mistaking it for a piece of meat. They (i.e. my masters) accused me of stealing it and they tortured me to such an extent that they even looked for it in my private parts. So, while they all were around me, and I was in my great distress, suddenly the kite came over our heads and threw the scarf, and they took it. I said to them 'This is what you accused me of stealing, though I was innocent."

Hadith Commentary:
In the narration, the word "hafsh" is with a kasrah on the letter "ha", which is used for a small, cramped house.
And the reason for its inclusion here is from the aspect of what the people of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance) were upon in terms of harshness in action and speech (Fath).
That is, the purpose of bringing this hadith here is to show the oppressions of the era of Jahiliyyah, which the people of Jahiliyyah used to inflict upon the poor through their words and their actions.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
This hadith depicts the scene of the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah).
The intention is to show the atrocities of the people of Jahiliyyah, which they used to inflict upon the poor with their tongues and their actions. Thus, in this hadith, an Abyssinian (Habashi) slave girl's personal account and painful story is narrated: that she was accused over a red leather necklace, and then, in order to recover it, even her private parts were searched.
This is such an act of Jahiliyyah for which no parallel can be found.
➋
Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah says that the purpose of bringing this hadith here is to show people the mirror and example of that Jahiliyyah which Islam came to reform.
