اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ رُمَيْثَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ : " أَنَّ نِسَاءَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَلَّمْنَهَا أَنْ تُكَلِّمَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ ، وَتَقُولُ لَهُ : إِنَّا نُحِبُّ الْخَيْرَ كَمَا تُحِبُّ عَائِشَةَ . فَكَلَّمَتْهُ ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهَا , فَلَمَّا دَارَ عَلَيْهَا كَلَّمَتْهُ أَيْضًا , فَلَمْ يُجِبْهَا ، وَقُلْنَ : مَا رَدَّ عَلَيْكِ ؟ قَالَتْ : لَمْ يُجِبْنِي . قُلْنَ : لَا تَدَعِيهِ حَتَّى يَرُدَّ عَلَيْكِ أَوْ تَنْظُرِينَ مَا يَقُولُ . فَلَمَّا : دَارَ عَلَيْهَا , كَلَّمَتْهُ ، فَقَالَ : " لَا تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةَ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ الْوَحْيُ وَأَنَا فِي لِحَافِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْكُنَّ إِلَّا فِي لِحَافِ عَائِشَةَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : هَذَانِ الْحَدِيثَانِ صَحِيحَانِ عَنْ عَبْدَةَ .
Narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) spoke to her, asking her to speak to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) because people would send gifts and presents on the day of ‘A’ishah’s turn, and to tell him that they too desired good just as he loved ‘A’ishah. So she spoke to him, but he did not give her any answer. When her turn came again, she spoke to him again, but he did not give her any answer. The wives asked: Did he give you any answer? She replied: He did not give any answer. They said: Do not give up until he gives you an answer. (Or they said:) Until you see what answer he gives. When her turn came again, she spoke to him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Do not trouble me regarding ‘A’ishah, for by Allah, revelation has not come to me when I was under the blanket of any of you except ‘A’ishah.” Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Nasa’i says: Both these hadiths narrated from ‘Abdah are authentic.
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Explanation: There are two types of narrations from Abda: one from Aisha (radi Allahu anha) and the other from Umm Salamah (radi Allahu anha). According to the statement of the Imam (Imam Sahib), both narrations are correct. And Allah knows best.
Benefits and Issues:
➊ This is a detailed hadith from which the context and occasion of the previous hadith become known. The reason people would deliberately send gifts on the day of Aisha (radi Allahu anha) was actually because they knew that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had more affection for her, and by sending gifts there, he would be more pleased. The purpose of the noble wives (azwaj mutahharat) was that gifts should also come to our homes; therefore, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) should instruct people to send gifts to every place. Or, that he should love all of us equally so that people would send gifts to all the homes.
➋ "He did not give any answer," because it was contrary to the dignity of prophethood to tell people to send gifts himself. Modesty and shyness prevented this. And equal love was not possible, because this is something beyond one’s control, as has been mentioned previously.
