حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
عَبْدُ الْجَلِيلِ الْقَيْسِيُّ ، عَنْ
شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، أَنَّ
أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ ، كَانَتْ تَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ , إِذْ جَاءَتْهُ خَالَتِي ، قَالَتْ : فَجَعَلَتْ تُسَائِلُهُ وَعَلَيْهَا سِوَارَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" أَيَسُرُّكَ أَنَّ عَلَيْكِ سِوَارَيْنِ مِنْ نَارٍ ؟ ! " ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : يَا خَالَتِي ، إِنَّمَا يَعْنِي سِوَارَيْكِ هَذَيْنِ ، قَالَتْ : فَأَلْقَتْهُمَا ، قَالَتْ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّهُنَّ إِذَا لَمْ يَتَحَلَّيْنَ ، صَلِفْنَ عِنْدَ أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ ، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , وَقَالَ : " أَمَا تَسْتَطِيعُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ طَوْقًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ ، وَجُمَانَةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ ، ثُمَّ تُخَلِّقَهُ بِزَعْفَرَانٍ ، فَيَكُونُ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَإِنَّ مَنْ تَحَلَّى وَزْنَ عَيْنِ جَرَادَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، أَوْ حِرَّ بَصِيصَةٍ ، كُوِيَ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered the Muslim women for allegiance (bay‘ah). Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! Why do you not extend your hand for us? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I do not shake hands with women, but I take the pledge verbally.” Among those women was an aunt of Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) who was wearing gold bangles and gold rings. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O woman! Do you like that Allah, the Exalted, should make you wear bangles and rings of fire on the Day of Resurrection?” She said: O Messenger of Allah! I seek refuge with Allah from that. I said to my aunt: Aunt! Take them off and throw them away. So she took them off and threw them away. I do not remember who picked them up from their place, nor did any of us even glance at them. Then I said: O Messenger of Allah! If a woman does not adorn herself with jewelry, she becomes insignificant in the eyes of her husband? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There is no harm for you in making earrings of silver and having pearls set in them, and filling their holes with a little saffron, so that they shine like gold.”
