Hadith 3259

حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْر ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ ، قَالَ : حَضَرْنَا مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ جَنَازَةَ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَرِفَ ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : " هَذِهِ زَوْجَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا رَفَعْتُمْ نَعْشَهَا ، فَلَا تُزَعْزِعُوا بها ، وَلَا تُزَلْزِلُوا ، وَارْفُقُوا ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْسِمُ لِثَمَانٍ ، وَلَا يَقْسِمُ لِوَاحِدَةٍ " . قَالَ عَطَاءٌ الَّتِي لَا يَقْسِمُ لَهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ .
Ata bin Abi Rabah, may Allah have mercy on him, says that we were present at a place called Sarf at the funeral of Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Maymunah, may Allah be pleased with her, along with Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: This is Sayyida Maymunah, may Allah be pleased with her. When you lift her bier, do not move the bed quickly nor shake it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had nine pure wives, of whom he used to give turns to eight (among them was Sayyida Maymunah, may Allah be pleased with her), and one wife (with her permission and consent) did not have a turn. Ata says that the wife whose turn was not fixed was Sayyida Safiyyah, may Allah be pleased with her. (But according to the majority of researchers, it was Sayyida Sawdah, may Allah be pleased with her. And Allah knows best).
