Aswad reported that some young men from the Quraish visited 'A'isha as she was in Mina and they were laughing. She said: What makes you laugh? They said: Such and such person stumbled against the rope of the tent and he was about to break his neck or lose his eyes. She said: Don't laugh for I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If a Muslim runs a thorn or (gets into trouble) severe than this, there is assured for him (a higher) rank and his sins are obliterated.

'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: A believer does not receive (the trouble) of running a thorn or more than that but Allah elevates him in rank or effaces his sins because of that.

'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: A believer does not undergo (the trouble) of running a thorn or more than that when Allah effaces his sins.

'A'isha said: No trouble comes to a believer even if it is the pricking of a thorn that it becomes (the means) whereby his sins are effaced or his sins are obliterated. Yazid says: He does not know which word 'Urwa said (whether he said Qussa or Kuffira).

'A'isha reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is nothing (in the form of trouble) that comes to a believer even if it is the pricking of a thorn that there is decreed for him by Allah good or his sins are obliterated.

'A'isha reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) as saying: There is nothing (in the form of trouble) that comes to a believer even if it is the pricking of a thorn that there is decreed for him by Allah good or his sins are obliterated.

A'isha reported that a person sought permission from Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) to see him. He said: Grant him permission, and also added: He is a bad son of his tribe or he is a bad person of his tribe. When he came in he used kind words for him. 'A'isha reported that she said: Allah's Messenger, you said about him what you had to say and then you treated him with kindness. He said: A'isha, verily in the eye of Allah, worst amongst the person in rank on the Day of Resurrection is one whom the people abandon or desert out of the fear of indecency.

'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: 'A'isha, verily Allah is kind and He loves kindness and confers upon kindness which he does not confer upon severity and does not confer upon anything else besides it (kindness).

'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: Kindness is not to be found in anything but that it adds to its beauty and it is not withdrawn from anything but it makes it defective.

A'isha reported that two persons visited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and both of them talked about a thing, of which I am not aware, but that annoyed him and he invoked curse upon both of them and hurled malediction, and when they went out I said: Allah's Messenger, the good would reach everyone but it would not reach these two. He said: Why so? I said: Because you have invoked curse and hurled malediction upon both of them. He said: Don't you know that I have made condition with my Lord saying thus: O Allah, I am a human being and that for a Muslim upon whom I invoke curse or hurl malediction make it a source of purity and reward.

'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Gabriel (ؑ) impressed upon me (kind treatment) towards the neighbour (so much) that I thought as if he would confer upon him the (right) of inheritance.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'A'isha through another chain of transmitters.

Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Quhzadh narrated to us, Salamah ibn Sulayman narrated to us, Abdullah informed us, Ma'mar informed us, from Ibn Shihab, Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Hazm narrated to me, from Urwah, from Aisha.

And Abdullah ibn Abdur-Rahman ibn Bihram and Abu Bakr ibn Ishaq narrated to me, and the wording is theirs, they said: Abu al-Yaman informed us, Shu'ayb informed us, from al-Zuhri, Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr narrated to me, that Urwah ibn al-Zubayr informed him, that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

A woman came to me with her two daughters, and she asked me, but I did not find anything with me except one date, so I gave it to her. She took it and divided it between her two daughters, and she did not eat anything from it. Then she got up and left with her two daughters. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, entered upon me, and I told him her story. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever is tested with anything from daughters and treats them well, they will be a shield for him from the Fire."

'A'isha reported:A poor woman came to me along with her daughters. I gave her three dates. She gave a date to each of them and then she took up one date and brought that to her mouth in order to eat that, but her daughters expressed desire to eat it. She then divided the date that she intended to eat between them. This (kind) treatment of her impressed me and I mentioned that which she did to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Thereupon he said: Verily Allah has assured Paradise for her, because of (this act) of her, or He has rescued her from Hell-Fire.

'A'isha, the mother of the believers, reported that a child died and I said: There is happiness for this child who is a bird from amongst the birds of Paradise. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Don't you know that Allah created the Paradise and He created the Hell and He created the dwellers for this (Paradise) and the denizens for this (Hell)?

'A'isha, the mother of the believers, said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was called to lead the funeral prayer of a child of the Ansar. I said: Allah's Messenger, there is happiness for this child who is a bird from the birds of Paradise for it committed no sin nor has he reached the age when one can commit sin. He said: 'A'isha, per adventure, it may be otherwise, because God created for Paradise those who are fit for it while they were yet in their father's loins and created for Hell those who are to go to Hell. He created them for Hell while they were yet in their father's loins.

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited (these verses of the Qur'an): "He it is Who revealed to thee (Muhammad) the Book (the Qur'an) wherein there are clear revelations-these are the substance of the Book and others are allegorical (verses). And as for those who have a yearning for error they go after the allegorical verses seeking (to cause) dissension, by seeking to explain them. And none knows their implications but Allah, and those who are sound in knowledge say: We affirm our faith in everything which is from our Lord. It is only the persons of understanding who really heed" (iii. 6). 'A'isha (further) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (in connection with these verses): When you see such verses, avoid them, for it is they whom Allah has pointed out (in the mentioned verses).

'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The most despicable amongst persons in the eye of Allah is one who tries to fall into dispute with others (for nothing but only to display his knowledge and power of argumentation).

A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He who loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah abhors to meet him. I ('A'isha) said: Allah's Apostle, so far as the feeling of aversion against death is concerned, we all have this feeling. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: It is not that (which you construe), but (this) that when a believer (at the time of death) is given the glad tidings of the mercy of Allah, His Pleasure, and of Paradise, he loves to meet Allah, and Allah also loves to meet him, and when an unbeliever is given the news of the torment at the Hand of Allah, and Hardship to be imposed by Him, he dislikes to meet Allah and Allah also abhors to meet him.

'A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who loves to meet Allah, Allah also loves to meet him, and who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah abhors to meet him. There is death before (one is able to) meet Allah.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of A'isha through another chain of transmitters.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who loves meeting Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah abhors to meet him. I (Shuraih bin Hani, one of the narrators) came to A'isha and said to her: Mother of the faithful, I heard Abu Hurairah (RA) narrate from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) which, if it is actually so, is a destruction to us. Thereupon she said: Those are in fact ruined who are ruined at the words of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . What are (the words which in your opinion would cause your destruction)? He said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had stated: He who loves to meet Allah, Allah too loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah too abhors to meet him, and there is none amongst us who does not hate death. Thereupon she said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has in fact stated this, but it does not mean what you construe, but it implies (the time) when one loses the lustre of the eye, and there is rattling in the throat, shudder in the body and convulsion in fingers (at the time of death). (It is about this time) that it has been said: He who loves to meet Allah, Allah would love to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah would abhor to meet him

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to make these supplications: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the trial of Hell-Fire; and from the torment of Hell-Fire; and from the trial of the grave and torment of the grave; and from the evil of the trial of the affluence and from the evil of the trial of poverty and I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of the turmoil of the Dajjal. O Allah, wash away my sins with snow and hail water, purify my heart from the sins as is purified the white garment from the dirt, and keep away at a distance the sins from me as yawns the distance between the East and the West; O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from sloth, from senility, from sin, and from debt."

Farwa' bin Naufal Ashja'i reported: I asked: 'A'isha, in what words did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) supplicate Allah? She said that he used to utter: "I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I did and from the evil of what I did not."

Farwa' bin Naufal reported: I asked 'A'isha about the supplication that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made. She said that he used to say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I have done and from the evil of what I have not done."

Farwa' bin Naufal reported on the authority of 'A'isha that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to supplicate (in these words): "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I did and from the evil of what I did not."

Hibban bin Musa narrated to us, he said: Abdullah bin Mubarak informed us, he said: Yunus bin Yazid Aili informed us, and also Ishaq bin Ibrahim, Muhammad bin Rafi’, and ‘Abd bin Humaid narrated this (same) hadith to us. Ibn Rafi’ said: ‘Abdur Razzaq narrated to us, and the others said: he informed us. They said: Ma’mar informed us, and the latter part of the hadith is from Ma’mar’s narration, which is reported from ‘Abd bin Humaid and Muhammad bin Rafi’. Both Yunus and Ma’mar narrated from Zuhri, who said: Sa’id bin al-Musayyib, ‘Urwah bin Zubair, ‘Alqamah bin Waqqas, and ‘Ubaydullah bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Utbah bin Mas’ud informed me about the hadith of the wife of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, regarding what the slanderers said about her, and Allah Almighty declared her innocence from what was said about her. All of them narrated to me a part of the hadith of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her; some of them remembered her hadith better than others. I memorized well from each of them what he narrated. The parts of their narrations support and confirm each other. All of them narrated that the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ‘A’ishah as-Siddiqah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: Whenever the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, intended to go on a journey, he would draw lots among his wives, and whichever of them the lot fell upon, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would take her with him (on the journey). ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: He drew lots during one of the battles he fought (referring to the Battle of Banu Mustaliq, also known as the Battle of Muraysi’, which took place in 5 AH), and my name was drawn, so I set out with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. This incident occurred after the command of hijab (veiling) had been revealed. Throughout the journey, I was carried in my howdah (litter) and was made to sit on the camel’s back in it, and I was taken down in it as well, until when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, finished his expedition and returned, and we approached Madinah, he announced departure during the night after resting for a part of the night. When the people announced departure, I got up, walked out of the camp, and after relieving myself, I returned to the howdah. At that time, I put my hand to my neck and found that my necklace made of black and white stones from Dhafar (a city in Yemen) had broken and fallen. I went back to search for my necklace, and my search kept me there for a while. Meanwhile, the people who used to carry my howdah came, lifted it, and placed it on the camel I used to ride. They thought I was inside the howdah. ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: At that time, women were light and thin, not heavy, nor did they have much flesh; they ate only as much as would keep the breath going. When they lifted my howdah and raised it, they did not notice any difference in its weight. I was a young girl at that time. They made the camel stand and set off. I found my necklace only after the army had departed. I came to their resting place, but there was no one there to call or to answer. I headed to the place where I had stayed (in my tent) at night. I was sure that when they did not find me in the howdah, they would return for me. I sat at my place, and sleep overcame me, and I fell asleep. Safwan bin Mu’attal, who belonged to the clan of Banu Dhakwan of Banu Sulaym, had stayed behind the army at night. He set out at the end of the night and came near my place in the morning. He saw the shadow of a sleeping person and came closer and recognized me. He had seen me before the command of hijab was revealed. When he recognized me, he recited «إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ» “Indeed, we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return,” and I woke up. I covered my face with my veil. By Allah, he did not speak a single word to me, nor did I hear anything from him except “Inna lillahi,” until he made his camel kneel. He stood by the front legs of the camel (so it would not move), and I mounted it. He led the camel by its rope, and we set off until we reached the army at midday, when they had stopped due to the intense heat. Then, the one who was to be ruined regarding my situation fell into ruin, and the one who bore the greatest share of the slander was (the chief of the hypocrites) ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul. We arrived in Madinah. As soon as we arrived in Madinah, I fell ill for a month. People continued to talk about the slanderers’ words, but due to my illness, I was unaware of any of it. What troubled me during my illness was that I did not receive the kindness from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that I used to see from him when I was sick. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would come in, greet, and say, “How are you?” That was all that troubled me, but I did not know the real matter. Until, after much weakness, I went out with the mother of Mistah (my relative) to Manasi’, which was our place outside Madinah for relieving ourselves, and we would go out only every other night. This was before we had built private places near our houses for such needs, and our way in this matter was like that of the early Arabs; we disliked building such places near our homes. I and the mother of Mistah, who was the daughter of Abu Ruhm bin al-Muttalib bin ‘Abd Manaf, and her mother was the daughter of Sakhr bin ‘Amir and the maternal aunt of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, and her son was Mistah bin Athathah bin ‘Ubad bin al-Muttalib. I and the daughter of Abu Ruhm (Mistah’s mother) finished our need and returned toward my house. Umm Mistah, may Allah be pleased with her, tripped over her thick woolen cloak and fell, and said, “May Mistah fall and perish!” I said to her, “You have said a terrible thing! You are cursing a man who was present at Badr.” She said, “O naive girl! Have you not heard what he has said?” I said, “What has he said?” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) She then told me the words of the slanderers, and my (first) illness increased with a second, even more severe illness. When I returned home, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered, greeted, and asked, “How are you?” I said, “Do you permit me to go to my parents?” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) I wanted to confirm the news from them. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, gave me permission, so I went to my parents and asked my mother, “Mother! What are people saying?” She said, “My daughter, do not trouble yourself over this matter. By Allah, it is rare that a beautiful woman is married to a man who loves her and has co-wives, but the other women talk about her.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) I said, “Glory be to Allah! Are people really saying such things?” I wept all night until morning, my tears did not stop, nor did I sleep even as much as kohl remains in the eye. Then I wept through the morning. When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, noticed the delay in the coming of revelation, he called ‘Ali bin Abi Talib and Usamah bin Zayd, may Allah be pleased with them both, to consult about separating from his wife. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) Usamah bin Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him, indicated what he knew of the innocence of the Prophet’s wife and their mutual love. He said, “O Messenger of Allah! She is your family, and we know nothing but good about her.” As for ‘Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, he said, “Allah has not put you in any difficulty. There are many women besides her. If you ask her maid, she will tell you the truth.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, called Barirah (the freed slave of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her) and said, “Barirah! Have you ever seen anything that made you suspicious about ‘A’ishah?” Barirah, may Allah be pleased with her, said, “By Him Who sent you with the truth! I have never seen anything about her that I could blame her for, except that she is a young girl who sometimes falls asleep and leaves her family’s dough uncovered, and the goat comes and eats it.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood on the pulpit and sought an excuse regarding ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul (for action against him). (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood on the pulpit and said, “O assembly of Muslims! Who will excuse me regarding a man whose harm has reached my family? By Allah, I know nothing but good about my family, and as for the man they mention, I know nothing but good about him as well. Whenever he entered my house, he entered with me.” Then Sa’d bin Mu’adh al-Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and said, “O Messenger of Allah! I excuse you regarding him. If he is from the Aws, we will strike his neck, and if he is from our brothers the Khazraj, you will command us, and we will carry out your command.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) Then Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up. He was the chief of Khazraj and a righteous man, but zeal for his tribe overtook him in the days of ignorance. He said to Sa’d bin Mu’adh, may Allah be pleased with him, “By Allah’s life! You have lied. You will not kill him, nor are you able to kill him.” At this, Usayd bin Hudayr, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up. He was the cousin of Sa’d bin Mu’adh, may Allah be pleased with him. He said to Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah, may Allah be pleased with him, “You have lied! By Allah’s life, we will surely kill him. You are a hypocrite, arguing on behalf of the hypocrites.” The two tribes of Aws and Khazraj became agitated, and were about to fight each other, while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was standing on the pulpit. He kept calming them down until they became quiet, and he too became quiet. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) I wept all day, my tears did not stop, nor did I sleep even as much as kohl remains in the eye. Then I wept the next night, my tears did not stop, nor did I sleep even as much as kohl remains in the eye. My parents thought that my weeping would burst my liver. They were sitting with me while I was weeping, when a woman from the Ansar asked permission to enter. I allowed her, and she sat down and wept with me. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) While we were in this state, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came in, greeted, and sat down. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) Since what was said about me, he had not sat with me (even when he came in). He waited a month, and no revelation came to him about me. When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sat down, he recited the testimony of faith, then said: “After that, O ‘A’ishah! Such-and-such has reached me about you. If you are innocent, Allah will soon declare your innocence, but if you have committed a sin, then seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him, for when a servant confesses his sin and repents, Allah accepts his repentance.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, finished his speech, my tears stopped, so much so that I did not feel a single drop in my eyes. I said to my father, “Respond to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on my behalf for what he has said.” He said, “By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.” Then I said to my mother, “Respond to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on my behalf.” She said, “By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.” So I, though I was a young girl and did not know much of the Qur’an, said (answering myself): “By Allah, I know that you have heard this talk and it has settled in your hearts and you believe it to be true. If I say I am innocent—and Allah knows I am innocent—you will not believe me. And if I admit to something—and Allah knows I am innocent—you will believe me. I find no example for myself and you except the words of the father of Yusuf (Jacob), peace be upon him: «فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ» ‘So patience is most fitting, and Allah is the one sought for help against what you describe.’” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) Then I turned away and lay down on my bed. She said: By Allah, I knew I was innocent, and I knew that Allah would declare my innocence, but by Allah, I did not think that Allah would reveal about me a revelation that would be recited (as Qur’an), for I considered myself too insignificant for Allah to speak about me in His own words to be recited. But I hoped that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would see a dream in which Allah would declare my innocence. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) By Allah, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, had not left his place, nor had any of the household left, when Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed revelation to His Prophet. The state that used to come upon him during revelation came over him, so that even on a cold day, sweat would drip from him like pearls due to the weight of the revelation. She said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was relieved of that state, he was smiling, and the first thing he said was: “Rejoice, O ‘A’ishah! Allah has declared your innocence.” My mother said to me, “Get up and go to him.” I said, “By Allah, I will not get up to him, nor will I thank anyone but Allah. He is the One Who has revealed my innocence.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed ten verses: from «إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ لَا تَحْسَبُوهُ شَرًّا لَكُمْ بَلْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ» ten verses, “Indeed, those who came with the slander are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather, it is good for you,” and from «وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ أَنْ يُؤْتُوا أُولِي الْقُرْبَىٰ» to «أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ» “Let not those among you who are of virtue and wealth swear not to give to their relatives…” to “…Do you not love that Allah should forgive you?” Hibban bin Musa said: Abdullah bin Mubarak said: This is the most hopeful verse in the Book of Allah. At this, Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, said: By Allah, I love that Allah should forgive me, so he resumed giving to Mistah, may Allah be pleased with him, what he used to give, and said: I will never withhold it from him. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, also asked his wife Zaynab bint Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with her, about my matter, who was the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: “What do you know or what have you seen?” She said: “O Messenger of Allah! I protect my hearing and my sight (from attributing lies to them). By Allah, I know nothing but good.” ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: She was the one among the Prophet’s wives who used to compete with me (in status and closeness), but Allah protected her due to her piety, while her sister Hamnah bint Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with her, began to fight for her sake and perished with those who perished (by committing the sin of slander). Zuhri said: This is the account that has reached us from all of them. In Yunus’s narration, it is mentioned (regarding Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah, may Allah be pleased with him): Zeal for his tribe incited him.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri through other chains of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording. In the hadith transmitters on the authority of 'Urwa, there is an addition of these words: "'A'isha did not like that Hassan should be rebuked in her presence and she used to say: It was he who wrote this verse also: "'Verily, my father and my mother and my honour, those are all meant for defending the honour of Muhammad against you." And 'Urwa further reported that 'A'isha said: By Allah, the person, about whom the allegation was made used to say: Hallowed be Allah, by One, in Whose hand is my life, I have never unveiled any woman, and then he died as a martyr in the cause of Allah, and in the narration transmitted on the authority of Ya'qub bin Ibrahim., the word is Mu'irin and in the narration transmitted on the'authority of 'Abdul Razzaq it is Mughirin. 'Abd bin Humaid said: I said to 'Abdul Razzaq: What does this word Mughirin mean? And he said: Al- waghra means intense heat.

'A'isha reported: I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the words of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious: "The day when the earth would be changed for another earth and Heaven would be changed for another Heaven (XiV. 48), (and inquired:) (Allah's Messenger), where would the people be on that day? He said: They would be on the Sirat.

A'isha the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , reported that one day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came out of her (apartment) during the night and she felt jealous. Then he came and he saw me (in what agitated state of mind) I was. He said: A'isha, what has happened to you? Do you feel jealous? Thereupon she said: How can it be (that a woman like me) should not feel jealous in regard to a husband like you. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: It was your devil who had come to you, and she said: Allah's Messenger, is there along with me a devil? He said: Yes. I said: Is devil attached to everyone? He said: Yes. I (Aisha) again said: Allah's Messenger, is it with you also? He said: Yes, but my Lord has helped me against him and as such I am absolutely safe from his mischief.

A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to say: Observe moderation (in doing deeds), and if you fail to observe it perfectly, try to do as much as you can do (to live up to this ideal of moderation) and be happy for none would be able to get into Paradise because of his deeds alone. They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) said: Allah's Messenger, not even thou? Thereupon he said: Not even I, but that Allah wraps me in His Mercy, and bear this in mind that the deed loved most by Allah is one which is done constantly even though it is insignificant.

A'isha reported that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) occupied himself in prayer, he observed such a (long) qiyam (posture of standing in prayer) that his feet were swollen. A'isha said: Allah's Messenger you do this (in spite of the fact) that your earlier and later sins have been pardoned for you? Thereupon, he said. A'isha should I not prove myself to be a thanksgiving servant (of Allah)?

'A'isha reported that she beard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The people would be assembled on the Day of Resurrection barefooted, naked and uncircumcised. I said: Allah's Messenger, will the male and the female be together on the Day and would they be looking at one another? Upon this Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: 'A'isha, the matter would be too serious for them to look to one another.

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He who is taken to account on the Day of Resurrection is in fact put to torment. I said: Has Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, not said this: 'He will be made subject to an easy reckoning" (Ixxxiv. 8)? Thereupon he said: (What it implies) is not the actual reckoning, but only the presentation of one's deeds to Him. He who is thoroughly examined in reckoning is put to torment.

'A'isha reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: Everyone who is reckoned thoroughly is undone. I said: Allah's Messenger, has Allah not called (reckoning) as easy reckoning? Thereupon he said.. It implies only presenta- tion of (one's deeds to Him), but if one is thoroughly examined in reckoning, he in fact is undone.

'A'isha reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: He who is examined thoroughly In reckoning is undone.

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was startled in the state of sleep. We said: Allah's Messenger, you have done something in the state of your sleep which you never did before. Thereupon he said: Strange it is that some people of my Ummah would attack the House (Ka’bah) (for killing) a person who would belong to the tribe of the Quraish and he would try to seek protection in the House. And when they would reach the plain ground they would be sunk. We said: Allah's Messenger, all sorts of people throng the path. Thereupon he said: Yes, there would be amongst them people who would come with definite designs and those who would come under duress and there would be travellers also, but they would all be destroyed through one (stroke) of destruction, though they would be raised in different states (on the Day of Resurrection). Allah would, however, raise them according to their intention.

'A'isha reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The (system) of night and day would not end until the people have taken to the worship of Lat and 'Uzza. I said: Allah's Messenger, I think when Allah has revealed this verse: "He it is Who has sent His Messenger with right guidance, and true religion, so that He may cause it to prevail upon all religions, though the polytheists are averse (to it)" (ix. 33), it implies that (this promise) is going to be fulfilled. Thereupon he (Allah's Apostle) (ﷺ) said: It would happen as Allah would like. Then Allah would send the sweet fragrant air by which everyone who has even a mustard grain of faith in Him would die and those only would survive who would have no goodness in them. And they would revert to the religion of their forefathers.

'A'isha reported that when the desert Arabs came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) they asked about the Last Hour as to when that would come. And he looked towards the youngest amongst them and said: If he lives he would not grow very old that he would find your Last Hour coming to you that would see you dying).

'A'isha reported: Never had the family of Muhammad (ﷺ) eaten to the fill since their arrival in Madinah with the bread of wheat for three successive nights until his (Holy Prophet's) death.
