حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا مَكَّةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ
عُرْوَةُ يَقُولُ
لِعَائِشَةَ : يَا أُمَّتَاهُ ، لَا أَعْجَبُ مِنْ فَهْمِكِ ، أَقُولُ : زَوْجَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَلَا أَعْجَبُ مِنْ عِلْمِكِ بِالشِّعْرِ وَأَيَّامِ النَّاسِ ، أَقُولُ : ابْنَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَكَانَ أَعْلَمَ النَّاسِ أَوْ وَمِنْ أَعْلَمِ النَّاسِ ، وَلَكِنْ أَعْجَبُ مِنْ عِلْمِكِ بِالطِّبِّ ، كَيْفَ هُوَ ؟ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : فَضَرَبَتْ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ ، وَقَالَتْ : " أَيْ عُرَيَّةُ ،
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَسْقَمُ عِنْدَ آخِرِ عُمْرِه ، أَوْ فِي آخِرِ عُمْرِهِ ، فَكَانَتْ تَقْدَمُ عَلَيْهِ وُفُودُ الْعَرَبِ مِنْ كُلِّ وَجْهٍ ، فَتَنْعَتُ لَهُ الْأَنْعَاتَ ، وَكُنْتُ أُعَالِجُهَا لَهُ ، فَمِنْ ثَمَّ " .
Urwah, may Allah have mercy on him, used to say to Hazrat Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, "Mother! I am not surprised at your jurisprudence, because I can say that you are the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the daughter of Hazrat Siddiq Akbar, may Allah be pleased with him. I am also not surprised at your knowledge of poetry and the days of the Arabs, because I can say that you are the daughter of Hazrat Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, who was the most knowledgeable among all people. What surprises me is your knowledge of medicine—how, where, and from whom did you acquire it?" She placed her hand on his shoulder and said, "O Urwah! In the last days of his life, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, fell ill. Delegations of Arabs used to come to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, from all sides. They would prescribe various things for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and I would treat him with those. That is how I acquired this knowledge."
