Hadith 24956

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ ، عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَبْعَثُ بِهَدْيِهِ ، هَلْ يُمْسِكُ عَمَّا يُمْسِكُ عَنْهُ الْمُحْرِمُ ؟ قَالَ : فَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ يَدَيْهَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْحِجَابِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ : " قَدْ كُنْتُ أَفْتِلُ قَلَائِدَ هَدْيِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ بِهِنَّ ، ثُمَّ لَا يَحْرُمُ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ " .
Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) whether a man who sends his sacrificial animal (hadi) should abstain from all those things from which a person in the state of ihram abstains? Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: I used to braid the collars of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificial animals with my own hands. While she was narrating this hadith, I heard the sound of her hands from behind the curtain. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stay among us as a non-muhrim (not in the state of ihram).
