Musnad Abi Ya'la 4458 — she said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once
حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنْ أَغْسِلَ وَجْهَ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ صَبِيٌّ ، قَالَتْ : وَمَا وَلَدْتُ وَلَا أَعْرِفُ كَيْفَ يُغْسَلُ الصِّبْيَانُ ، قَالَتْ : فَآخُذُهُ فَأَغْسِلُهُ غَسْلًا لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ ، قَالَتْ : فَأَخَذَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ ، وَيَقُولُ : لَقَدْ أُحْسِنَ بِنَا إِذْ لَمْ تَكُ جَارِيَةً ، وَلَوْ كُنْتَ جَارِيَةً لَحَلَّيْتُكَ وَأَعْطَيْتُكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) once ordered me to wash the face of Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was still a small child." She said: "Since I had no children of my own, I did not know how children are washed." She said: "So I took hold of him and washed his face, but the washing was not anything special (not satisfactory)." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of him himself and began washing his face, and while doing so he said: "Allah Almighty has dealt well with us in that you were not a girl; had you been a girl, I would have adorned you with jewellery and given you plenty."
