حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا
هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ
عَوْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الطُّفَيْلِ ، عَنْ
رُمَيْثَةَ أُمِّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ ، عَنْ
أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : كَلَّمَنِي صَوَاحِبِي أَنْ أُكَلِّمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ النَّاسَ ، فَيُهْدُونَ لَهُ حَيْثُ كَانَ ، فَإِنَّهُمْ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدِيَّتِهِ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ ، وَإِنَّا نُحِبُّ الْخَيْرَ كَمَا تُحِبُّهُ عَائِشَةُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِنَّ صَوَاحِبِي كَلَّمْنَنِي أَنْ أُكَلِّمَكَ لِتَأْمُرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُهْدُوا لَكَ حَيْثُ كُنْتَ ، فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ ، وَإِنَّمَا نُحِبُّ الْخَيْرَ كَمَا تُحِبُّ عَائِشَةُ , قَالَتْ : فَسَكَتَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَلَمْ يُرَاجِعْنِي ، فَجَاءَنِي صَوَاحِبِي ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُنَّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُكَلِّمْنِي ، فَقُلْنَ : لَا تَدَعِيهِ ، وَمَا هَذَا حِينَ تَدَعِينَهُ , قَالَتْ : ثُمَّ دَارَ ، فَكَلَّمْتُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ صَوَاحِبِي قَدْ أَمَرْنَنِي أَنْ أُكَلِّمَكَ تَأْمُرُ النَّاسَ ، فَلْيُهْدُوا لَكَ حَيْثُ كُنْتَ ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مِثْلَ تِلْكَ الْمَقَالَةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَسْكُتُ عَنْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ، لَا تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةَ ،
فَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ الْوَحْيُ وَأَنَا فِي بَيْتِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِي غَيْرَ عَائِشَةَ " , فَقَالَتْ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَسُوءَكَ فِي عَائِشَةَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that once (the noble wives of the Prophet, peace be upon him), my friends, said to me that I should speak to the Prophet (peace be upon him) on this matter: that the Prophet (peace be upon him) should instruct the people that wherever the Prophet (peace be upon him) may be, they can send him gifts. In fact, people used to wait for Hazrat Aisha's turn to present gifts because we too desire goodness just as much as Aisha does. So I went to the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and submitted, "O Messenger of Allah, my friends have spoken to me to present this request to you that you instruct the people that wherever you may be, they can send you gifts, because people consider Aisha's turn when presenting their gifts, and we too desire goodness just as much as Aisha does." Upon this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) remained silent and did not give me any answer. When my friends came, I told them that the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not say anything to me regarding this matter. They said, "You should keep mentioning this to him, do not leave it." So when the Prophet (peace be upon him) came again, I repeated the previous request, and this happened two or three times, and each time the Prophet (peace be upon him) remained silent. Finally, the Prophet (peace be upon him) once said, "O Umm Salamah, do not cause me distress regarding Aisha. By Allah, revelation does not come to me in the house of any wife except Aisha." She said, "I seek refuge in Allah from causing you distress regarding Aisha."
