حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، قَالَتْ : تَزَوَّجَنِي الزُّبَيْرُ وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ مَالٍ وَلَا مَمْلُوكٍ وَلَا شَيْءٍ غَيْرَ فَرَسِهِ ، قَالَتْ : فَكُنْتُ أَعْلِفُ فَرَسَهُ وَأَكْفِيهِ مَئُونَتَهُ وَأَسُوسُهُ وَأَدُقُّ النَّوَى لِنَاضِحِهِ ، وَأَعْلِفُهُ وَأَسْتَقِي الْمَاءَ وَأَخْرُزُ غَرْبَهُ وَأَعْجِنُ ، وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أُحْسِنُ أَخْبِزُ ، وَكَانَ يَخْبِزُ لِي جَارَاتٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَكُنَّ نِسْوَةَ صِدْقٍ ، قَالَتْ : وَكُنْتُ أَنْقُلُ النَّوَى مِنْ أَرْضِ الزُّبَيْرِ الَّتِي أَقْطَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَأْسِي وَهِيَ عَلَى ثُلُثَيْ فَرْسَخٍ ، قَالَتْ : فَجِئْتُ يَوْمًا وَالنَّوَى عَلَى رَأْسِي ، فَلَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَدَعَانِي ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِخْ إِخْ لِيَحْمِلَنِي خَلْفَهُ ، قَالَتْ : فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ وَعَرَفْتُ غَيْرَتَكَ ، فَقَالَ : " وَاللَّهِ لَحَمْلُكِ النَّوَى عَلَى رَأْسِكِ أَشَدُّ مِنْ رُكُوبِكِ مَعَهُ " ، قَالَتْ : حَتَّى أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِخَادِمٍ ، فَكَفَتْنِي سِيَاسَةَ الْفَرَسِ فَكَأَنَّمَا أَعْتَقَتْنِي .
Asma' daughter of Abu Bakr (RA) reported that she was married to Zubair. He had neither land nor wealth nor slave nor anything else like it except a home. She further said: I grazed his horse, provided fodder to it and looked after it, and ground dates for his camel. Besides this, I grazed the camel, made arrangements for providing it with water and patched up the leather bucket and kneaded the flour. But I was not proficient in baking the bread, so my female neighbours used to bake bread for me and they were sincere women. She further said: I was carrying on my head the stones of the dates from the land of Zubair which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had endowed him and it was at a distance of two miles (from Madinah). She said: As I was one day carrying the stones of dates upon my head I happened to meet Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with a group of his Companions. He called me and said (to the camel) to sit down so that he should make me ride behind him. (I told my husband:) I felt shy and remembered your jealousy, whereupon he said: By Allah, the carrying of the stone dates upon your head is more severe a burden than riding with him. She said: (I led the life of hardship) until Abu Bakr (RA) sent afterwards a female servant who took upon herself the responsibility of looking after the horse and I felt as if she had emancipated me.
