Musnad Abi Ya'la 4381 — there was a very jovial woman in Makkah
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ بِمَكَّةَ امْرَأَةٌ مَزَّاحَةٌ فَنَزَلَتْ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مِثْلِهَا ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَائِشَةَ ، فَقَالَتْ : صَدَقَ حِبِّي ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : الْأَرْوَاحُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ ، فَمَا تَعَارَفَ مِنْهَا ائْتَلَفَ ، وَمَا تَنَاكَرَ مِنْهَا اخْتَلَفَ ، قَالَ : وَلَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا قَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ : وَلَا تُعْرَفُ تِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةُ .
Amrah bint Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on her) narrates that there was a very jovial woman in Makkah who loved to joke. She (came to Madinah and) stayed here too with a (jesting) woman like herself. When this reached Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: "My beloved (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Souls are like assembled armies; those of them that recognise one another (through natural affinity) become close, and those that do not recognise one another and have no affinity stay apart and distant from one another.'" The narrator said: As far as I know, it is also reported in the hadith that that (Makkan) woman could not be identified (by name).
