Musnad Abi Ya'la 4962 — Two other men and I came to Sayyidah Aishah
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَمَّامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْبَدُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ بَابِنُوسَ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلَانِ آخَرَانِ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَّا: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا تَقُولِينَ فِي الْعِرَاكِ؟ قَالَتْ: وَمَا الْعِرَاكُ؟ الْمَحِيضُ هُوَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَتْ: فَهُوَ الْمَحِيضُ كَمَا سَمَّاهُ اللَّهُ. قَالَتْ: كَأَنِّي إِذَا كَانَ ذَاكَ اتَّزَرْتُ بِإِزَارِي، فَكَانَ لَهُ مَا فَوْقَ الْإِزَارِ. فَأَنْشَأَتْ تُحَدِّثُنَا قَالَتْ: مَا مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى بَابِي يَوْمًا قَطُّ إِلَّا قَدْ قَالَ كَلِمَةً تَقَرُّ بِهَا عَيْنِي . قَالَتْ: فَمَرَّ يَوْمًا فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْنِي، وَمَرَّ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْنِي قَالَتْ: وَمَرَّ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْنِي، وَمَرَّ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْنِي قُلْتُ: وَجِدَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي شَيْءٍ. قَالَتْ: فَعَصَبْتُ رَأْسِي وَصَفَّرْتُ وَجْهِي، وَأَلْقَيْتُ وِسَادَةً قُبَالَةَ بَابِ الدَّارِ فَاجْتَنَحْتُ عَلَيْهَا . قَالَتْ: " فَمَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ: «مَا لَكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ؟» قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اشْتَكَيْتُ وَصُدِّعْتُ. قَالَ: يَقُولُ: «بَلْ، وَارَأْسَاهُ». قَالَتْ: فَمَا لَبِثْتُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى أُتِيتُ بِهِ يُحْمَلُ فِي كِسَاءٍ. قَالَتْ: فَمَرَّضْتُهُ وَلَمْ أُمَرِّضْ مَرِيضًا قَطُّ، وَلَا رَأَيْتُ مَيِّتًا قَطُّ. قَالَتْ: فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَأَسْنَدْتُهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي. قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَبِيَدِهِ سِوَاكُ أَرَاكٍ رَطِبٌ. قَالَتْ: فَلَحَطَ إِلَيْهِ. قَالَتْ: فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُهُ، فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَنَكَثْتُهُ بِفِي فَدَفَعْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ. قَالَتْ: فَأَخَذَهُ فَأَهْوَاهُ إِلَى فِيهِ. قَالَتْ: فَخَفَقَتْ يَدُهُ فَسَقَطَ مِنْ يَدِهِ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ فَاهُ فِي ثَغْرِي سَالَ مِنْ فِيهِ نُقْطَةٌ بَارِدَةٌ اقْشَعَرَّ مِنْهَا جِلْدِي، وَثَارَ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ فِي وَجْهِي، فَمَالَ رَأْسُهُ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ. قَالَتْ: فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَنَوَّمْتُهُ عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ وَغَطَّيْتُ وَجْهَهُ. قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلَ أَبِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ تَرَيْنَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَدَنَا مِنْهُ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ: يَا غَشْيَاهُ مَا أَكْوَنَ هَذَا بِغَشْيٍ ثُمَّ كَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَعَرَفَ الْمَوْتَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ ثُمَّ بَكَى - فَقُلْتُ: فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ انْقِطَاعُ الْوَحْيِ وَدُخُولُ جِبْرِيلَ بَيْتِي - ثُمَّ وَضْعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى صُدْغَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ فَاهُ عَلَى جَبِينِهِ، فَبَكَى حَتَّى سَالَ دُمُوعُهُ عَلَى وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثُمَّ غَطَّى وَجْهَهُ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ وَهُوَ يَبْكِي فَقَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، هَلْ عِنْدَ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ عَهْدٌ بِوَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ قَالُوا: لَا. ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ: يَا عُمَرُ أَعِنْدَكَ عَهْدٌ بِوَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ لَقَدْ ذَاقَ الْمَوْتَ، وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنِّي مَيِّتٌ، وَإِنَّكُمْ مَيِّتُونَ». فَضَجَّ النَّاسُ وَبَكَوْا بُكَاءً شَدِيدًا، ثُمَّ خَلَّوْا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، فَغَسَّلَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ. فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: مَا نَسِيتُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا لَمْ أُغَسِّلْهُ إِلَّا قُلِبَ لِي حَتَّى أَرَى أَحَدًا فَأُغَسِّلُهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ أَرَى أَحَدًا، حَتَّى فَرَغْتُ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ كَفَّنُوهُ بِبُرْدٍ يَمَانِيٍّ أَحْمَرَ وَرِيطَتَيْنِ قَدْ نِيلَ مِنْهُمَا ثُمَّ غُسِلَا، ثُمَّ أُضْجِعَ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ، ثُمَّ أَذِنُوا لِلنَّاسِ فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَوْجًا فَوْجًا يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ بِغَيْرِ إِمَامٍ، حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حُرٌّ وَلَا عَبْدٌ إِلَّا صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ تَشَاجَرُوا فِي دَفْنِهِ: أَيْنَ يُدْفَنُ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: عِنْدَ الْعُودِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُمْسِكُ بِيَدِهِ وَتَحْتَ مِنْبَرِهِ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: فِي الْبَقِيعِ حَيْثُ كَانَ يَدْفِنُ مَوْتَاهُ. فَقَالُوا: لَا نَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ. إِذًا لَا يَزَالُ عَبْدُ أَحَدِكُمْ وَوَلِيدَتُهُ قَدْ غَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ مَوْلَاهُ فَيَلُوذُ بِقَبْرِهِ، فَيَكُونُ سُنَّةً. فَاسْتَقَامَ رَأْيُهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يُدْفَنَ فِي بَيْتِهِ تَحْتَ فِرَاشِهِ حَيْثُ قُبِضَ رُوحُهُ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ دُفِنَ مَعَهُ. فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ الْمَوْتُ أَوْصَى قَالَ: إِذَا مَا مُتُّ فَاحْمِلُونِي إِلَى بَابِ بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ فَقُولُوا لَهَا: هَذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يُقْرِئُكِ السَّلَامَ وَيَقُولُ: أَدْخُلُ أَوْ أَخْرُجُ؟ قَالَ: فَسَكَتَتْ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: أَدْخِلُوهُ فَادْفِنُوهُ مَعَهُ. أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَعُمَرُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ. قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا دُفِنَ عُمَرُ أَخَذْتُ الْجِلْبَابَ فَتَجَلْبَبْتُ بِهِ. قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لَهَا: مَالَكِ وَلِلْجِلْبَابِ؟ قَالَتْ: كَانَ هَذَا زَوْجِي، وَهَذَا أَبِي، فَلَمَّا دُفِنَ عُمَرُ تَجَلْبَبْتُ "
It is narrated from Ibn Babinus (may Allah have mercy on him): Two other men and I came to Sayyidah Aishah, the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her), and one of us asked her: "O Mother of the Believers, what do you say about 'irak'?" She asked: "What is 'irak'? Does it mean menstruation?" He said: "Yes." She said: "It is menstruation, just as Allah Almighty has named it." Then she said: "When I was menstruating, I would tie on my waist-wrap, and what was above the waist-wrap was for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (for intimacy short of intercourse)." Then she began narrating to us and said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never passed by my door without saying some word by which my eyes would be cooled. But one day he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by and did not speak to me; then the next day he passed by and did not speak; then the day after that he passed by and did not speak; then the day after that he passed by and did not speak. I said (to myself): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is displeased with me over something. So I tied a band round my head, made my face pale (to show grief or illness), placed a cushion opposite the door of the house and lay down leaning upon it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by, looked at me and asked: 'O Aishah, what is the matter with you?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am ill and I have a severe headache.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Rather, oh my head! (My pain is greater.)' Only a little while passed before he (peace and blessings be upon him) was brought, carried in a sheet. I nursed him (peace and blessings be upon him), and I had never nursed any sick person like that, nor had I ever seen a dead person. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed head, and I held it and supported it against my chest. Meanwhile Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) came in, and in his hand was a fresh twig of siwak. He (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at it longingly. I understood that he (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted this siwak, so I took the siwak, chewed it soft with my teeth and gave it to him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) took it and brought it towards his blessed mouth; then his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed hand faltered and the siwak fell from his hand. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his radiant face towards me, until, when his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed mouth was near my mouth, a cool drop fell from his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed mouth, at which my skin shivered, and the fragrance of musk spread over my face. Then his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed head drooped to one side, and I thought that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had fainted. I took him (peace and blessings be upon him), laid him on the bed and covered his (peace and blessings be upon him) face. Meanwhile my father, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), came and asked: 'How do you see him?' I said: 'He (peace and blessings be upon him) has fainted.' He came close to him (peace and blessings be upon him), removed the cloth from his face and cried out: 'Alas, a faint! What kind of faint is this?' Then he removed the cloth from his radiant face again, recognised the signs of death and cried out: 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un' (We belong to Allah and to Him we return). Then he began to weep, and I said: 'In the path of Allah, the revelation has ceased, and the coming of Jibril (peace be upon him) to my house has ended.' Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) placed both his hands on the temples of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), placed his mouth on his (peace and blessings be upon him) forehead, and wept so much that his tears flowed onto the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he covered his (peace and blessings be upon him) face and went out to the people, weeping and saying: 'O assembly of Muslims, does any of you have any instruction or news concerning the death of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?' They said: 'No.' Then he turned to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: 'O Umar, do you have any covenant concerning the death of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?' He said: 'No.' Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'By the One besides whom there is no god, he (peace and blessings be upon him) has tasted death, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) had said to them (reciting the Qur'an): Indeed, I am going to die, and you too are going to die.' On hearing this the people cried out loudly and wept bitterly. Then they left him (peace and blessings be upon him) alone with the members of his household. Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) washed him (peace and blessings be upon him), while Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) poured water over him. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'Whichever limb of his (peace and blessings be upon him) I intended to wash turned by itself, until I washed him (peace and blessings be upon him) without anyone's help.' When they had finished the washing, he (peace and blessings be upon him) was shrouded in a red Yemeni cloak and two white sheets which had been used and then washed. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) was laid on a bed, and the people were given permission; they entered group after group and offered the funeral prayer over him (peace and blessings be upon him) without any imam, until there remained no one in Madinah, free or slave, who had not prayed over him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then they differed about the place of his (peace and blessings be upon him) burial, as to where he should be buried. Some said: 'He should be buried beside the wooden post (of the pulpit) which he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to hold with his hand, and beneath his (peace and blessings be upon him) pulpit.' Others said: 'In al-Baqi', where he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to bury his dead (Companions).' The Companions said: 'We will not do that; otherwise, whenever the master of one of your slaves or slave-women becomes angry with him, he would take refuge at his (peace and blessings be upon him) grave, and it would become a lasting practice.' So their opinion settled on his (peace and blessings be upon him) being buried in his own house, beneath that very bed of his where his (peace and blessings be upon him) soul was taken. When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) died, he too was buried there beside him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then when the time of death drew near for Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), he left an instruction and said: 'When I die, carry me to the door of the house of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and say to her: This is Umar bin al-Khattab; he sends you greetings of peace and asks: Shall I enter, or shall I go back?' The narrator says: Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) remained silent for a while and then said: 'Bring him in and bury him there.' So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was buried on his (peace and blessings be upon him) right and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on his left." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had been buried there, I took the large outer sheet (jilbab) and began to wrap myself in it." She was asked: "Why do you now take such care with this sheet?" She said: "Before, only my husband (the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him) and my father (Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him) were here; but when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was also buried, I began to wear the jilbab (out of modesty)."
