حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَوَجَدَ النَّاسَ جُلُوسًا بِبَابِهِ لَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ ، قَالَ : فَأُذِنَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَدَخَلَ ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عُمَرُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ فَأُذِنَ لَهُ ، فَوَجَدَ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جَالِسًا حَوْلَهُ نِسَاؤُهُ وَاجِمًا سَاكِتًا ، فَقَالَ : لَأَقُولَنَّ شَيْئًا أُضْحِكُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، لَوْ رَأَيْتُ بِنْتَ خَارِجَةَ سَأَلَتْنِي النَّفَقَةَ ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَوَجَأْتُ عُنُقَهَا ، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَقَالَ : هُنَّ حَوْلِي كَمَا تَرَى يَسْأَلْنَنِي النَّفَقَةَ ، فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ يَجَأُ عُنُقَهَا ، وَقَامَ عُمَرُ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ يَجَأُ عُنُقَهَا ، كِلَاهُمَا يَقُولُ : تَسْأَلْنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ ؟ فَقُلْنَ : وَاللهِ لَا نَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - شَيْئًا أَبَدًا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ ، ثُمَّ اعْتَزَلَهُنَّ شَهْرًا أَوْ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ لِلْمُحْسِنَاتِ مِنْكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا قَالَ : فَبَدَأَ بِعَائِشَةَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا عَائِشَةُ ، إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَعْرِضَ عَلَيْكِ أَمْرًا لَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَعْجَلِي فِيهِ بِشَيْءٍ حَتَّى تَسْتَشِيرِي أَبَوَيْكِ ، قَالَتْ : وَمَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ فَتَلَا عَلَيْهَا الْآيَةَ ، فَقَالَتْ : أَفِيكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَسْتَشِيرُ أَبَوَيَّ ؟ بَلْ أَخْتَارُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ لَا تُخْبِرَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِكَ بِالَّذِي قُلْتُ ، قَالَ : لَا تَسْأَلُنِي امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتُهَا ، إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَبْعَثْنِي مُعَنِّتًا ، وَلَكِنْ بَعَثَنِي مُعَلِّمًا مُيَسِّرًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) came to seek permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he found people sitting at his door, and no one was being given permission to enter. Then permission was given to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), so he went in. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came and asked for permission, and he too was given permission. He found the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sitting among his wives, grieved and silent. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said (to himself): "I will certainly say something that will make the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smile." So he said: "O Messenger of Allah, if only you had seen when the daughter of Kharijah (my wife) asked me for maintenance, and I got up and struck her on the neck." Hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed and said: "These too are around me, as you see, asking me for maintenance." Hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) went towards Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) towards Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) (to reprimand them), and both began saying to their daughters: "Do you ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for what he does not have?" They all said: "By Allah, we will never ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything that he does not have." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) kept away from them for a month or twenty-nine days, until this verse was revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Prophet, say to your wives" up to "for the doers of good among you a great reward." He (peace and blessings be upon him) began with Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: "O Aishah, I want to put a matter before you, and I do not want you to hasten to any decision about it until you have consulted your parents." She said: "O Messenger of Allah, would I consult my parents about you? Rather, I choose Allah, His Messenger and the Home of the Hereafter. And I request you not to tell any of your other wives what I have said to you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whichever of them asks me, I will certainly tell her, for Allah Almighty did not send me to cause hardship; rather, He sent me as a teacher and one who makes things easy."
