حَدَّثَنَا
عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ نَزَلَتْ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ أُمِّ طَلْحَةَ الطَّلَحَاتِ ، فَرَأَتْ بَنَاتٍ لَهَا يُصَلِّينَ بِغَيْرِ خُمُرٍ قَدْ حِضْنَ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَتْ
عَائِشَةُ : لَا تُصَلِّيَنَّ جَارِيَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا فِي خِمَارٍ ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ ، وَكَانَتْ فِي حِجْرِي جَارِيَةٌ ، فَأَلْقَى عَلَيَّ حَقْوَهُ ، فَقَالَ :
" شُقِّيهِ بَيْنَ هَذِهِ وَبَيْنَ الْفَتَاةِ الَّتِي فِي حِجْرِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، فَإِنِّي لَا أُرَاهَا إِلَّا قَدْ حَاضَتْ ، أَوْ لَا أُرَاهُمَا إِلَّا قَدْ حَاضَتَا " .
Muhammad says that once Hazrat Aisha stayed at the house of Safiyyah Umm Talhah al-Talhat, and she saw that some girls, though having reached puberty, were praying without head coverings. So Hazrat Aisha said, "No girl should pray without a head covering." Once, the Prophet (peace be upon him) came to my house, and at that time there was a girl under my care. The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave me a sheet and said, "Divide it into two parts and distribute it between this girl and the girl under the care of Umm Salamah, because in my opinion, both of them have reached puberty."
