Hadith 834
Narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) that she stayed near Muzdalifah on the night of Muzdalifah and stood up to pray. After praying for a short while, she asked, "O son! Has the moon set?" (Abdullah) said, "No." So she continued to pray for a little while. After that, she asked, "O son! Has the moon set?" (Abdullah) said, "Yes." Then she said, "Let us go now." So we departed and continued until Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) reached Mina and threw the pebbles, then came to her place and offered the morning prayer there. I (Abdullah) said to her, "Madam! We think that we have hastened." Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) replied, "O son! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had already given permission for this to women."

Hadith 835
Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: We stopped at Muzdalifah, so Umm al-Mu'mineen Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) sought permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to depart before the crowd of people, and she was a woman of heavy build. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) granted her permission, and she departed before the crowd of people, while we remained there until morning came. Then we set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). (But I was so distressed that I wished) if only I had also sought permission from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) had done, that would have been dearer to me than any happiness.
