Musnad Abi Ya'la 4701 — Eleven women gathered in one place and made
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَنَابٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتِ : اجْتَمَعْنَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ امْرَأَةً فَتَعَاهَدْنَ ، وَتَعَاقَدْنَ أَنْ لَا يَكْتُمْنَ مِنْ أَخْبَارِ أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ شَيْئًا ، فَقَالَتِ الْأُولَى : زَوْجِي لَحْمُ جَمَلٍ غَثٍّ ، عَلَى رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ ، لَا سَهْلٍ فَيُرْتَقَى ، وَلَا سَمِينٍ فَيُنْتَقَلُ .
قَالَتِ الثَّانِيَةُ : زَوْجِي لَا أَبُثُّ خَبَرَهُ ، إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ لَا أَذَرَهُ ، إِنْ أَذْكُرْهُ أَذْكُرْ عُجَرَهُ وَبُجَرَهُ .
قَالَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ : زَوْجِي الْعَشَنَّقُ ، إِنْ أَسْكُتْ أُعَلَّقْ ، وَإِنْ أَنْطِقْ أُطَلَّقْ .
قَالَتِ الرَّابِعَةُ : زَوْجِي كَلَيْلِ تِهَامَةَ ، لَا حَرٌّ وَلَا قَرٌّ ، وَلَا مَخَافَةَ وَلَا سَآمَةَ .
قَالَتِ الْخَامِسَةُ : زَوْجِي إِنْ أَكَلَ لَفَّ ، وَإِنْ شَرِبَ اشْتَفَّ ، وَإِنْ نَامَ الْتَفَّ ، وَلَا يُولِجُ الْكَفَّ لِيَعْلَمَ الْبَثَّ .
قَالَتِ السَّادِسَةُ : زَوْجِي غَيَايَاءُ - أَوْ عَيَايَاءُ ، شَكَّ عِيسَى - طَبَاقَاءُ ، كُلُّ دَاءٍ لَهُ دَاءٌ ، شَجَّكِ ، أَوْ فَلَّكِ ، أَوْ جَمَعَ كُلًّا لَكِ .
قَالَتِ السَّابِعَةُ : زَوْجِي إِنْ دَخَلَ أَسِدَ ، وَإِنْ خَرَجَ فَهِدَ ، وَلَا يَسْأَلُ عَمَّا عَهِدَ .
قَالَتِ الثَّامِنَةُ : زَوْجِي الْمَسُّ مَسُّ أَرْنَبٍ ، وَالرِّيحُ رِيحُ زَرْنَبٍ .
قَالَتِ التَّاسِعَةُ : زَوْجِي رَفِيعُ الْعِمَادِ ، طَوِيلُ النِّجَادِ ، عَظِيمُ الرَّمَادِ ، قَرِيبُ الْبَيْتِ مِنَ النَّادِي .
قَالَتِ الْعَاشِرَةُ : زَوْجِي مَالِكٌ ، وَمَا مَالِكٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، لَهُ إِبِلٌ قَلِيلَاتُ الْمَسَارِحِ كَثِيرَاتُ الْمَبَارِكِ ، إِذَا سَمِعْنَ صَوْتَ الْمِزْهَرِ أَيْقَنَّ أَنَّهُنَّ هَوَالِكُ .
قَالَتِ الْحَادِيَةُ عَشْرَةَ : زَوْجِي أَبُو زَرْعٍ ، وَمَا أَبُو زَرْعٍ ، أَنَاسَ مِنْ حُلِيٍّ أُذُنَيَّ ، وَمَلَأَ مِنْ شَحْمٍ عَضُدَيَّ ، وَبَجَّحَنِي فَبَجِحَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي ، فَوَجَدَنِي فِي أَهْلِ غُنَيْمَةٍ بِشِقٍّ ، فَجَعَلَنِي فِي أَهْلِ صَهِيلٍ ، وَأَطِيطٍ ، وَدَائِسٍ ، وَمُنَقٍّ ، وَعِنْدَهُ أَقُولُ فَلَا أُقَبَّحُ ، وَأَرْقُدُ فَأَتَصَبَّحُ ، وَأَشْرَبُ فَأَتَقَمَّحُ .
أُمُّ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ، وَمَا أُمُّ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ؟ عُكُومُهَا رَدَاحٌ ، وَبَيْتُهَا فَسَاحٌ .
ابْنُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ، فَمَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ؟ مَضْجَعُهُ كَمَسَلِّ شَطْبَةٍ ، وَيُشْبِعُهُ ذِرَاعُ الْجَفْرَةِ .
ابْنَةُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ، وَمَا ابْنَةُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ؟ طَوْعُ أَبِيهَا ، وَطَوْعُ أُمِّهَا ، وَمِلْءُ كِسَائِهَا ، وَغَيْظُ جَارَتِهَا .
جَارِيَةُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ، وَمَا جَارِيَةُ أَبِي زَرْعٍ ؟ لَا تَبُثُّ حَدِيثَنَا تَبْثِيثًا ، وَلَا تَنْقُلُ مِيرَتَنَا تَنْقِيثًا ، وَلَا تَمْلَأُ بَيْتَنَا تَعْشِيشًا .
خَرَجَ أَبُو زَرْعٍ وَالْأَوْطَابُ تُمْخَضُ ، فَلَقِيَ امْرَأَةً مَعَهَا وَلَدَانِ لَهَا كَالْفَهْدَيْنِ ، يَلْعَبَانِ مِنْ تَحْتِ خَصْرِهَا بِرُمَّانَتَيْنِ ، فَطَلَّقَنِي وَنَكَحَهَا ، فَنَكَحْتُ بَعْدَهُ رَجُلًا سَرِيًّا ، رَكِبَ شَرِيًّا ، وَأَخَذَ خَطِّيًّا ، وَأَرَاحَ عَلَيَّ نَعَمًا ثَرِيًّا قَالَ : كُلِي أُمَّ زَرْعٍ ، وَمِيرِي أَهْلَكِ .
قَالَتْ : فَإِنْ جَمَعْتُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَعْطَانِيهِ ، مَا بَلَغَ أَصْغَرَ آنِيَةِ أَبِي زَرْعٍ .
قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : يَا عَائِشُ ، كُنْتُ لَكِ كَأَبِي زَرْعٍ لِأُمِّ زَرْعٍ .
قَالَتِ الثَّانِيَةُ : زَوْجِي لَا أَبُثُّ خَبَرَهُ ، إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ لَا أَذَرَهُ ، إِنْ أَذْكُرْهُ أَذْكُرْ عُجَرَهُ وَبُجَرَهُ .
قَالَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ : زَوْجِي الْعَشَنَّقُ ، إِنْ أَسْكُتْ أُعَلَّقْ ، وَإِنْ أَنْطِقْ أُطَلَّقْ .

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "Eleven women gathered in one place and made a pledge and covenant with one another that they would not conceal anything of the affairs of their husbands. The first woman said: My husband is like the meat of a lean camel placed on the top of a mountain; the mountain is not level so that it may be climbed, nor is the meat fat so that it may be carried away (home). The second said: My husband is such that I cannot describe his condition; I fear that (because of the multitude of his faults) I would not be able to describe it completely; if I were to mention him, I would mention all his faults, outward and inward. The third said: My husband is tall and lanky (and ill-tempered); if I speak (in complaint of him), I will be divorced, and if I keep silent, I remain hanging in suspense. The fourth said: My husband is (moderate) like the night of the land of Tihamah, neither too hot nor too cold; there is no fear of him and no weariness with him. The fifth said: My husband, when he eats, gathers up everything; when he drinks, he empties the vessel; when he sleeps, he wraps himself up and lies apart, and he does not even stretch out his hand to learn of my distress. The sixth said: My husband is foolish and impotent; every ailment is found in him; he will either split your head, or break your bone, or bring both calamities together upon you. The seventh said: My husband, when he comes home, is like a lion, and when he goes out, he is like a cheetah, and he does not question me about the things left in the house. The eighth said: My husband's touch is soft like that of a rabbit, and his scent is like that of zarnab (a fragrant plant). The ninth said: My husband is a man of lofty pillars, a long sheath and plenty of ashes, and his house is near the gathering place. The tenth said: My husband is Malik, and how excellent is Malik! His camels stay little in the pastures and much in the folds; when they hear the sound of the lute, they know that they are about to be slaughtered. The eleventh said: My husband is Abu Zar', and how excellent is Abu Zar'! He weighed down my ears with ornaments, filled my arms with fat (that is, made me plump), and kept me so happy that I began to think highly of myself. He found me in a small settlement of sheep and goat owners where life was hard, then he brought me among the neighing of horses, the sound of camels, and those who thresh and clean grain (that is, into a great family and wealth). With him, when I speak I am not rebuked, when I sleep I sleep (in comfort) until the morning, and when I drink I quench my thirst fully. Then she mentioned the mother of Abu Zar': And how was the mother of Abu Zar'? Her great bags were full (of provisions and grain), and her house was very spacious. Then she mentioned the son of Abu Zar': And how was the son of Abu Zar'? His sleeping place was (slender) like a sword drawn from its sheath or a palm branch, and the foreleg of a four-month-old kid would satisfy him. Then she mentioned the daughter of Abu Zar': And how was the daughter of Abu Zar'? She was obedient to her father, obedient to her mother, filling out her garment (that is, beautiful and attractive), and a cause of rage to her co-wife. Then she mentioned the slave girl of Abu Zar': And how was the slave girl of Abu Zar'? She never disclosed our talk, did not waste our provisions, and did not fill our house with rubbish. One day Abu Zar' went out at a time when milk was being churned in the vessels, and he met a woman who had with her two children (sons) like two cheetahs, playing beneath her waist with two pomegranates (her breasts). So he divorced me and married her. After him I married a noble chief who rode a swift horse, held a spear in his hand and in the evening brought many livestock to me, and he said: O Umm Zar'! Eat yourself and send (provisions) to your family as well. Yet if I were to gather everything he gave me, it would not equal even the smallest vessel of Abu Zar'." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) relates that (after narrating this story) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O A'ish! I am to you as Abu Zar' was to Umm Zar'." Isa (the narrator) was in doubt between the words 'ghayaya' and 'ayaya'.
