(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلْنَهُ النَّفَقَةَ ، فَلَمْ يُوَافِقْ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ ، حَتَّى أَحْجَزْنَهُ ، فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ عُمَرُ ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأْذَنَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُذِنَ لَهُمَا ، وَوَجَدَاهُ بَيْنَهُنَّ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ ابْنَةَ زَيْدٍ سَأَلَتْنِي النَّفَقَةَ فَوَجَأْتُهَا ، أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ ، وَأَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يُضْحِكَهُ ، فَضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ ، وَقَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، مَا حَبَسَنِي غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ " ، فَقَامَا إِلَى ابْنَتَيْهِمَا ، فَأَخَذَا بِأَيْدِيهِمَا ، فَقَالَا : أَتَسْأَلَانِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ ؟ ! فَنَهَاهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهُمَا ، فَقَالَتَا : لَا نَعُدْ ، فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ نَزَلَ التَّخْيِيرُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the noble wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) requested an increase in their maintenance. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had nothing, so he could not do so. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and sought permission to enter. Since there were many people at the door, he was not granted permission. After a while, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) also came and sought permission, but he too was not granted permission. After a short while, both of them were granted permission and entered the house. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting and his noble wives were around him. Sayyiduna Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah! If you see the daughter of Zayd (your wife) asking me for maintenance right now, I will press her neck." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed so much that his blessed teeth became visible. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, these women whom you see with me are asking me for maintenance." Hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr stood up to hit Sayyidah Aisha, and Sayyiduna Umar moved towards Hafsa, and both of them said, "Do you ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for something which he does not have?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped both of them, and all the noble wives said, "By Allah, after today we will not ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything which he does not have." After this, Allah revealed the verse of choice (Ayat al-Takhyir).
