وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كُنْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : ( وَإِنْ تَظَاهَرَا عَلَيْهِ ) فَكُنْتُ أَهَابُهُ ، حَتَّى حَجَجْنَا مَعَهُ حَجَّةً فَقُلْتُ : لَئِنْ لَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ فِي الْحَجَّةِ لَا أَسْأَلُهُ ، فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا حَجَّنَا أَدْرَكْنَاهُ وَهُوَ بِبَطْنِ مُرٍّ وَقَدْ تَخَلَّفَ لِبَعْضِ حَاجَتِهِ ، فَقَالَ : مَرْحَبًا بِكَ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَا حَاجَتُكَ ؟ قُلْتُ : شَيْءٌ كُنْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهُ - يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ - فَكُنْتُ أَهَابُكَ ، فَقَالَ : سَلْنِي عَمَّا شِئْتَ ، فَإِنَّا لَمْ نَكُنْ نَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى تَعَلَّمْنَاهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَإِنْ تَظَاهَرَا عَلَيْهِ مَنْ هُمَا ؟ قَالَ : لَا تَسْأَلُ أَحَدًا أَعْلَمَ بِذَلِكَ مِنِّي ، كُنَّا بِمَكَّةَ لَا يُكَلِّمُ أَحَدُنَا امْرَأَتَهُ إِنَّمَا هِيَ خَادِمُ الْبَيْتِ ، فَإِذَا كَانَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ ، سَفَعَ بِرِجْلِهَا فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ تَعَلَّمْنَ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَعَلْنَ يُكَلِّمْنَنَا وَيُرَاجِعْنَنَا ، وَإِنِّي أَمَرْتُ غِلْمَانًا لِي بِبَعْضِ الْحَاجَةِ ، فَقَالَتْ امْرَأَتِي : بَلِ اصْنَعْ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهَا بِقَضِيبٍ فَضَرَبْتُهَا بِهِ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا عَجَبًا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، تُرِيدُ أَنْ لَا تُكَلَّمَ ؟ ! فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - تُكَلِّمُهُ نِسَاؤُهُ ، فَخَرَجْتُ ، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقُلْتُ : يَا بُنَيَّةُ انْظُرِي لَا تُكَلِّمِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَلَا تَسْأَلِيهِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ دِينَارٌ وَلَا دِرْهَمٌ يُعْطِيكَهُنَّ ، فَمَا كَانَتْ لَكِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ حَتَّى دَهْنِ رَأْسِكِ فَسَلِينِي ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ جَلَسَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ ، وَجَلَسَ النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ امْرَأَةً امْرَأَةً يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَيَدْعُو لَهُنَّ ، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ جَلَسَ عِنْدَهَا ، وَإِنَّهَا أُهْدِيَتْ لِحَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عُمَرَ عَكَّةُ عَسَلٍ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ - أَوْ مِنْ مَكَّةَ - فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا دَخَلَ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهَا حَبَسَتْهُ حَتَّى تُلْعِقَهُ مِنْهُ أَوْ تَسْقِيَهُ مِنْهَا ، وَأَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَنْكَرَتِ احْتِبَاسَهُ عِنْدَهَا ، فَقَالَتْ لِجُوَيْرِيَةٍ عِنْدَهَا حَبَشِيَّةٍ ، يُقَالُ لَهَا : خَضْرَاءُ : إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَادْخُلِي عَلَيْهَا فَانْظُرِي مَا يَصْنَعُ ، فَأَخْبَرَتْهَا الْجَارِيَةُ بِشَأْنِ الْعَسَلِ ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِلَى صَوَاحِبَاتِهَا فَأَخْبَرَتْهُنَّ ، وَقَالَتْ : إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْكُنَّ فَقُلْنَ : إِنَّا نَجِدُ مِنْكَ رِيحَ مَغَافِيرَ ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَطَعِمْتَ شَيْئًا مُنْذُ الْيَوْمُ ؟ فَإِنِّي أَجِدُ مِنْكَ رِيحَ مَغَافِيرَ ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَشَدُّ شَيْءٍ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُوجَدَ مِنْهُ رِيحُ شَيْءٍ ، فَقَالَ : " هُوَ عَسَلٌ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَطْعَمُهُ أَبَدًا " حَتَّى [ إِذَا ] كَانَ يَوْمُ حَفْصَةَ قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي حَاجَةً إِلَى أَبِي ، إِنَّ نَفَقَةً لِي عِنْدَهُ ، فَأْذَنْ لِي أَنْ آتِيَهُ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى جَارِيَتِهِ مَارِيَةَ ، فَأَدْخَلَهَا بَيْتَ حَفْصَةَ ، فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَأَتَتْ حَفْصَةُ فَوَجَدَتِ الْبَابَ مُغْلَقًا ، فَجَلَسَتْ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ فَرْعٌ وَوَجْهُهُ يَقْطُرُ عَرَقًا وَحَفْصَةُ تَبْكِي ، فَقَالَ : " مَا يُبْكِيكِ ؟ " فَقَالَتْ : إِنَّمَا أَذِنْتَ لِي مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا ، أَدْخَلْتَ أَمَتَكَ بَيْتِي ، ثُمَّ وَقَعْتَ عَلَيْهَا عَلَى فِرَاشِي ، مَا كُنْتَ تَصْنَعُ هَذَا بِامْرَأَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ ! ! أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ ! فَقَالَ : " وَاللَّهِ مَا صَدَقْتِ أَلَيْسَ هِيَ جَارِيَتِي قَدْ أَحَلَّهَا اللَّهُ لِي ؟ أُشْهِدُكِ أَنَّهَا عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ ، أَلْتَمِسُ بِذَلِكَ رِضَاكِ ، انْظُرِي لَا تُخْبِرِي بِذَلِكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْهُنَّ فَهِيَ عِنْدَكِ أَمَانَةٌ " فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَرَعَتْ حَفْصَةُ الْجِدَارَ الَّذِي بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ : أَلَا أَبْشِرِي فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَدْ حَرَّمَ أَمَتَهُ ، فَقَدْ أَرَاحَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْهَا ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يَرِيبُنِي أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُقْتَلُ مِنْ أَجْلِهَا ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : ( يَاأَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ ) ثُمَّ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَإِنْ تَظَاهَرَا عَلَيْهِ فَهِيَ عَائِشَةُ وَحَفْصَةُ ، وَزَعَمُوا أَنَّهُمَا كَانَتَا لَا تَكْتُمُ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى شَيْئًا .
وَكَانَ لِي أَخٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِذَا حَضَرْتُ وَغَابَ فِي بَعْضِ ضَيْعَتِهِ حَدَّثْتُهُ بِمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَإِذَا غِبْتُ فِي بَعْضِ ضَيْعَتِي حَدَّثَنِي ، فَأَتَانِي يَوْمًا وَقَدْ كُنَّا نَتَخَوَّفُ جَبَلَةَ بْنَ الْأَيْهَمِ الْغَسَّانِيَّ فَقَالَ : مَا دَرَيْتَ مَا كَانَ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ لَعَلَّهُ جَبَلَةُ بْنُ الْأَيْهَمِ الْغَسَّانِيُّ تَذْكُرُ ؟ قَالَ : لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ أَشَدَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ كَمَا كَانَ يَجْلِسُ ، وَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِ كَمَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ ، وَقَدِ اعْتَزَلَ فِي مَشْرَبَتِهِ ، وَقَدْ تَرَكَ النَّاسَ يَمُوجُونَ ، وَلَا يَدْرُونَ مَا شَأْنُهُ ، فَأَتَيْتُ وَالنَّاسُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَمُوجُونَ وَلَا يَدْرُونَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كَمَا أَنْتُمْ ، ثُمَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ فِي مَشْرَبَتِهِ قَدْ جُعِلَتْ لَهُ عَجَلَةٌ فَرَقَى عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ لِغُلَامٍ لَهُ أَسْوَدَ وَكَانَ يَحْجُبُهُ : اسْتَأْذِنْ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ لِي ، فَدَخَلْتُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي مَشْرَبَتِهِ فِيهَا حَصِيرٌ وَأَهَبٌ مُعَلَّقَةٌ ، وَقَدْ أَفْضَى لِجَنْبِهِ إِلَى الْحَصِيرِ فَأَثَّرَ الْحَصِيرُ فِي جَنْبِهِ ، وَتَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ وِسَادَةٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ مَحْشُوَّةٌ لِيفًا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ بَكَيْتُ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا يُبْكِيكَ ؟ " فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَارِسُ وَالرُّومُ يَضْطَجِعُ أَحَدُهُمْ فِي الدِّيبَاجِ وَالْحَرِيرِ فَقَالَ : " إِنَّهُمْ عُجِّلَتْ لَهُمْ طَيِّبَاتُهُمْ ، وَالْآخِرَةُ لَنَا " فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا شَأْنُكَ ؟ فَإِنِّي تَرَكْتُ النَّاسَ يَمُوجُ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي بَعْضٍ ، فَعَنْ خَبَرٍ أَتَاكَ، فَقَالَ : أَعْتَزِلْهُنَّ فَقَالَ : " لَا وَلَكِنْ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أَزْوَاجِي شَيْءٌ ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِنَّ شَهْرًا " ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ارْجِعُوا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَزْوَاجِهِ شَيْءٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَعْتَزِلَ .
ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقُلْتُ : يَا بُنَيَّةُ أَتُكَلِّمِينَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَتَغِيظِينَهُ وَتَغَارِينَ عَلَيْهِ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : لَا أُكَلِّمُهُ بَعْدُ بِشَيْءٍ يَكْرَهُهُ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، وَكَانَتْ خَالَتِي ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا كَمَا قُلْتُ لِحَفْصَةَ فَقَالَتْ : عَجَبًا لَكَ يَا عُمَرُ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ تَكَلَّمْتَ فِيهِ حَتَّى تُرِيدَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَبَيْنَ أَزْوَاجِهِ ، وَمَا يَمْنَعُنَا أَنْ نَغَارَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ يَغَرْنَ عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : ( يَاأَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا فَتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلًا ) حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهَا .
قُلْتُ : لِعُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ بِاخْتِصَارٍ كَثِيرٍ .

It is reported about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he narrates: I wanted to ask Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) about this statement of Allah Almighty: "If the two of you support one another against him." But I was in awe of him, until I went to perform Hajj with him. I thought, "If I do not ask him during this Hajj, then I will never be able to ask him." When we had completed the Hajj, I reached him once while he was in the lower part of (the valley of) Marr, having stayed behind to relieve himself. He said, "Welcome to you, O cousin of the Messenger of Allah! What do you need?" I said, "There is something I wanted to ask you about, O Commander of the Believers, but I was also in awe of you." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Ask about whatever you wish, for we too did not know anything until we learned it." I said, "Tell me about this statement of Allah Almighty, 'If the two of you': who are these two women?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You will not ask anyone who knows about this better than me. When we lived in Makkah, none of us would talk with his wife; she was the servant of the house. When a man had need of her, he would come to her and fulfil his need. When we came to Madinah, our wives began to learn from the women of the Ansar, and they began to talk with us and answer us back. Once I told some boys to do a certain task, and my wife said, 'Rather, do it in such and such a way.' I went towards her with a stick and struck her with it. She said, 'O son of al-Khattab! I am amazed at you. You want no one to speak to you, whereas the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) speak with him (peace and blessings be upon him).' I went out and came to Hafsah and said, 'O my daughter! Be careful that you do not speak (back) to the Messenger of Allah and do not ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has neither dinars nor dirhams to give you. If you need anything, even if you need oil to put on your head, then tell me.' When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the morning prayer, he would remain seated at his place of prayer and the people would sit around him, and he would stay seated until the sun rose. Then he would go to his wives, one woman after another, greeting them and praying for them, and he would stay with the one whose turn it was that day. Once a container of honey was given as a gift to Sayyidah Hafsah bint Umar (may Allah be pleased with her) from Ta'if (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) from Makkah. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came in and greeted her, Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) would keep the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and give him honey to eat or to drink. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) wondered why the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed at her place. She said to her Abyssinian slave girl, whose name was Khadra', 'When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) goes to Hafsah, go into her house and see what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does.' The slave girl told Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that he drinks honey there. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) sent word to her companions (that is, the other Mothers of the Believers), told them about this, and said, 'When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) comes to you, you are to say: We detect the smell of maghafir from you.' Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), she said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Have you eaten anything today? I detect the smell of maghafir from you.'" The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) strongly disliked that any smell should be detected from him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "That was only honey. By Allah! I will never eat it." The narrator says: Then when Sayyidah Hafsah's day came, she said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have some business with my father; my allowance is with him. If you permit me, I will go to him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her permission. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for his slave woman Mariyah, and she came into the house of Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had conjugal relations with her. Meanwhile Sayyidah Hafsah came back and found the door closed, so she sat down by the door. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out, he was "far'" and his sweat was dripping. Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) began to weep. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Why are you weeping?" She said, "You gave me permission only for this purpose: that you bring your slave woman into my house and then have conjugal relations with her on my bed. You would not have done this with any of your other wives. By Allah, O Messenger of Allah! It is not right for you to do this." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "By Allah! You are not speaking rightly. Is she not my slave woman, whom Allah Almighty has made lawful for me? I make you my witness and say that she is unlawful for me, and by this I seek your pleasure. But be careful not to tell any of my other wives about this; this matter is a trust with you." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had left, Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) knocked on the wall between her house and that of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said, "Receive good news! The Messenger of Allah has made his slave woman unlawful for himself, and Allah Almighty has relieved us of her." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "By Allah! I suspect that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will be troubled because of this slave woman." Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "O Prophet! Why do you make unlawful what Allah has made lawful for you?" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "And if the two of you support one another against him." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: So this refers to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her). People used to say that these two women did not hide anything from each other. (Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says:) I had a brother from the Ansar. When I was present (with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) and he had gone to his lands and the like, I would tell him what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said, and when I was away for work, he would tell me. One day he came to me; in those days we were fearful of Jabalah bin al-Ayham al-Ghassani. He said, "Do you not know what has happened?" I said, "What has happened? Perhaps Jabalah bin al-Ayham al-Ghassani is coming?" He said, "No, it is something even more troubling than that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the morning prayer and did not sit as before, nor did he go to his wives as was his usual practice. He has secluded himself in the upper room and has left the people troubled; they do not understand what the matter is." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I came, and the people in the mosque were troubled and did not understand. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O people! Stay as you are." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was at that time in the upper room; a ladder had been made for him, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) climbed it. He said to the black slave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who was acting as doorkeeper, "Ask permission for Umar bin al-Khattab." He asked permission for me and I went in. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was then in the upper room, in which there was a mat and some hides were hanging. The mark of the mat had come onto the side of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and under his head was a leather pillow stuffed with fibre. When I saw him in this state, I wept. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Why are you weeping?" I said, "The people of Persia and the people of Rome lie on brocade and silk." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Their good things have been given to them early (that is, in this world), and we will receive ours in the Hereafter." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is your matter? I have left the people troubled, waiting for some news from you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I have separated myself from these women." (Perhaps the words here should have been: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "Have you divorced them?") The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No, rather there was some displeasure between me and my wives, so I preferred not to go to them for one month." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I went out and came to the people and said, "O people! Go back, for there is some matter between the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his wives, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has preferred to remain apart." Then I came to Hafsah and said, "O my daughter! Do you talk back to the Messenger of Allah, show anger before him and show harshness of temper?" Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "Now I will never say anything to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he dislikes." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Then I went to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), who was my maternal aunt, and I said to her the same thing I had said to Hafsah. She said, "O Umar bin al-Khattab! I am amazed at you. You start talking about everything, until now you want to interfere even between the Messenger of Allah and his wives. Why should we not show anger to the Messenger of Allah when your wives also show anger to you?" Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and release you in a fitting manner." Until he finished it (that is, he recited the whole verse). (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: The hadith reported from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) is mentioned in the Sahih in a greatly abridged form.
Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Abdullah bin Salih, the scribe of al-Layth. Abd al-Malik bin Shu'ayb bin al-Layth says he is thiqah (trustworthy) and reliable, while Ahmad and others declared him da'if (weak).
