Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: A necklace of Yemeni onyx inlaid with pieces of gold was given as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and all his (peace and blessings be upon him) pure wives were gathered in one house, while Umamah bint Abi al-As bin al-Rabi', a little girl, was playing with dirt in a corner of the house. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you think of this?" We looked at it and said: O Messenger of Allah! We have never seen anything more beautiful or more wonderful than this. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give it back to me." When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had taken it, he said: "By Allah! I will put this necklace on the neck of the one of my household who is most beloved to me." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The earth went dark between me and him (peace and blessings be upon him); I feared that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would put this necklace on the neck of someone other than me, and I think all the other wives felt the same as I felt, and we all sat silent and grieved. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came forward with it and put it on the neck of Umamah bint Abi al-As, and our grief was lifted.
