حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، عَنْ
الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ
عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حُجْرَتِي
يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ ، وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ كَيْفَ يَلْعَبُونَ ، حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا أَسْأَمُ ، وَاقْدُرْ قَدْرَ الْجَارِيَةِ الْحَدِيثَةِ السِّنِّ الْحَرِيصَةِ عَلَى اللَّهْوِ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that once on the day of Eid, some Abyssinians were performing acrobatics in front of the Prophet (peace be upon him). I placed my head on the shoulder of the Prophet (peace be upon him) from my chamber and started watching them by peeking out. The Prophet (peace be upon him) lowered his shoulder for me, and I kept watching them. When I was satisfied, I returned. Now you can imagine how much a young girl would be inclined towards play and amusement?
