وحدثنا إِسْحَاقَ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، وَتَقَارَبَا فِي لَفْظِ الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ : حدثنا ، وقَالَ إِسْحَاقَ : أَخْبَرَنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَوْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : لَمْ أَزَلْ حَرِيصًا أَنْ أَسْأَلَ عُمَرَ ، عَنِ الْمَرْأَتَيْنِ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اللَّتَيْنِ ، قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : إِنْ تَتُوبَا إِلَى اللَّهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوبُكُمَا سورة التحريم آية 4 ، حَتَّى حَجَّ عُمَرُ ، وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَهُ ، فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ عَدَلَ عُمَرُ ، وَعَدَلْتُ مَعَهُ بِالْإِدَاوَةِ فَتَبَرَّزَ ثُمَّ أَتَانِي ، فَسَكَبْتُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، " مَنِ الْمَرْأَتَانِ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّتَانِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُمَا : إِنْ تَتُوبَا إِلَى اللَّهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوبُكُمَا سورة التحريم آية 4 ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : وَاعَجَبًا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : كَرِهَ وَاللَّهِ مَا سَأَلَهُ عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يَكْتُمْهُ ، قَالَ : هِيَ حَفْصَةُ ، وَعَائِشَةُ " ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يَسُوقُ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ قَوْمًا نَغْلِبُ النِّسَاءَ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ ، وَجَدْنَا قَوْمًا تَغْلِبُهُمْ نِسَاؤُهُمْ ، فَطَفِقَ نِسَاؤُنَا يَتَعَلَّمْنَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ مَنْزِلِي فِي بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ بِالْعَوَالِي ، فَتَغَضَّبْتُ يَوْمًا عَلَى امْرَأَتِي ، فَإِذَا هِيَ تُرَاجِعَنِي ، فَأَنْكَرْتُ أَنْ تُرَاجِعَنِي ، فقَالَت : مَا تُنْكِرُ أَنْ أُرَاجِعَكَ ، فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيُرَاجِعْنَهُ وَتَهْجُرُهُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ الْيَوْمَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَتُرَاجِعِينَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ، فقَالَت : نَعَمْ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَتَهْجُرُهُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ الْيَوْمَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ ؟ ، قَالَت : نَعَمْ ، قُلْتُ : قَدْ خَابَ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُنَّ وَخَسِرَ ، أَفَتَأْمَنُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ أَنْ يَغْضَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا لِغَضَبِ رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ هَلَكَتْ ، لَا تُرَاجِعِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا تَسْأَلِيهِ شَيْئًا وَسَلِينِي مَا بَدَا لَكِ ، وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكِ أَنْ كَانَتْ جَارَتُكِ هِيَ أَوْسَمَ وَأَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْكِ ، يُرِيدُ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ لِي جَارٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَكُنَّا نَتَنَاوَبُ النُّزُولَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَنْزِلُ يَوْمًا وَأَنْزِلُ يَوْمًا ، فَيَأْتِينِي بِخَبَرِ الْوَحْيِ وَغَيْرِهِ وَآتِيهِ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ ، وَكُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّ غَسَّانَ تُنْعِلُ الْخَيْلَ لِتَغْزُوَنَا فَنَزَلَ صَاحِبِي ثُمَّ أَتَانِي عِشَاءً ، فَضَرَبَ بَابِي ثُمَّ نَادَانِي ، فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَيْهِ ، فقَالَ : حَدَثَ أَمْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ، قُلْتُ مَاذَا ، أَجَاءَتْ غَسَّانُ ؟ قَالَ : لَا بَلْ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَأَطْوَلُ : طَلَّقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِسَاءَهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : قَدْ خَابَتْ حَفْصَةُ وَخَسِرَتْ ، قَدْ كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ هَذَا كَائِنًا حَتَّى إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الصُّبْحَ شَدَدْتُ عَلَيَّ ثِيَابِي ، ثُمَّ نَزَلْتُ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ وَهِيَ تَبْكِي ، فَقُلْتُ : أَطَلَّقَكُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فقَالَت : لَا أَدْرِي هَا هُوَ ذَا مُعْتَزِلٌ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَشْرُبَةِ ، فَأَتَيْتُ غُلَامًا لَهُ أَسْوَدَ ، فَقُلْتُ : اسْتَأْذِنْ لِعُمَرَ ، فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيَّ ، فقَالَ : قَدْ ذَكَرْتُكَ لَهُ فَصَمَتَ ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَجَلَسْتُ ، فَإِذَا عَنْدَهُ رَهْطٌ جُلُوسٌ يَبْكِي بَعْضُهُمْ ، فَجَلَسْتُ قَلِيلًا ، ثُمَّ غَلَبَنِي مَا أَجِدُ ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ الْغُلَامَ ، فَقُلْتُ : اسْتَأْذِنْ لِعُمَرَ ، فَدَخَلَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيَّ ، فقَالَ : قَدْ ذَكَرْتُكَ لَهُ فَصَمَتَ فَوَلَّيْتُ مُدْبِرًا ، فَإِذَا الْغُلَامُ يَدْعُونِي ، فقَالَ : ادْخُلْ فَقَدْ أَذِنَ لَكَ ، فَدَخَلْتُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا هُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى رَمْلِ حَصِيرٍ قَدْ أَثَّرَ فِي جَنْبِهِ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَطَلَّقْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نِسَاءَكَ ؟ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيَّ ، وَقَالَ : " لَا " ، فَقُلْتُ : اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ رَأَيْتَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَكُنَّا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ قَوْمًا نَغْلِبُ النِّسَاءَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَجَدْنَا قَوْمًا تَغْلِبُهُمْ نِسَاؤُهُمْ فَطَفِقَ نِسَاؤُنَا يَتَعَلَّمْنَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ ، فَتَغَضَّبْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي يَوْمًا فَإِذَا هِيَ تُرَاجِعَنِي ، فَأَنْكَرْتُ أَنْ تُرَاجِعَنِي ، فقَالَت : مَا تُنْكِرُ أَنْ أُرَاجِعَكَ ، فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيُرَاجِعْنَهُ وَتَهْجُرُهُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ الْيَوْمَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ ، فَقُلْتُ : قَدْ خَابَ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكِ مِنْهُنَّ وَخَسِرَ ، أَفَتَأْمَنُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ أَنْ يَغْضَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا لِغَضَبِ رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ هَلَكَتْ ، فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَدْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : لَا يَغُرَّنَّكِ أَنْ كَانَتْ جَارَتُكِ هِيَ أَوْسَمُ مِنْكِ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْكِ ، فَتَبَسَّمَ أُخْرَى ، فَقُلْتُ : أَسْتَأْنِسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، فَجَلَسْتُ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فِي الْبَيْتِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ فِيهِ شَيْئًا يَرُدُّ الْبَصَرَ إِلَّا أُهَبًا ثَلَاثَةً ، فَقُلْتُ : ادْعُ اللَّهَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنْ يُوَسِّعَ عَلَى أُمَّتِكَ فَقَدْ وَسَّعَ عَلَى فَارِسَ ، وَالرُّومِ ، وَهُمْ لَا يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ ، فَاسْتَوَى جَالِسًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَفِي شَكٍّ أَنْتَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ " ، أُولَئِكَ قَوْمٌ عُجِّلَتْ لَهُمْ طَيِّبَاتُهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا " ، فَقُلْتُ : اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَكَانَ أَقْسَمَ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِنَّ شَهْرًا مِنْ شِدَّةِ مَوْجِدَتِهِ عَلَيْهِنَّ ، حَتَّى عَاتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ .
Mu’ammar narrated from Zuhri, who narrated from ‘Ubaydullah bin ‘Abdullah bin Abi Thawr, who narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), who said: I was very eager to ask ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about those two wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding whom Allah, the Exalted, said: “If you two turn in repentance to Allah, then indeed your hearts have inclined (to the truth)” until ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) performed Hajj and I also performed Hajj with him. (On the way back) we were in a part of the road when ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) turned aside (for his need) and I also turned aside with a water vessel. He went into the desert, then came to me, so I poured water on his hands and he performed ablution. I said: O Commander of the Faithful! Who were those two wives among the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about whom Allah, the Exalted, said: “If you two turn in repentance to Allah, then indeed your hearts have inclined (to the truth)?” ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Ibn ‘Abbas! I am amazed at you! ... Zuhri said: By Allah! The question he (Ibn ‘Abbas) asked him displeased him, and he did not conceal (the answer). He said: They were Hafsah and ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with them). Then ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to narrate and said: We, the people of Quraysh, were a people who used to dominate our women. When we came to Madinah, we found a people whose women dominated them, so our women began to learn from their women (and started replying to men). ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: My house was in the upper area in the neighborhood of Banu Umayyah bin Zayd. One day I became angry with my wife, and she replied to me. I found her reply very unpleasant, so she said: Do you find it unpleasant that I reply to you? By Allah! The wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also reply to him, and one of them even keeps away from him for the whole day until night (remaining upset). I went to Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: Do you reply to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? She said: Yes. I (then) asked: Does any of you keep away from him for the whole day until night? She said: Yes! I said: Whoever among you does that has failed and incurred loss. Does any of you feel secure that, due to the anger of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Allah will not become angry with her and she will be ruined? (In the future) do not reply to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and do not ask him for anything; whatever you need, ask me. Do not let it deceive you that your neighbor (co-wife) is more beautiful than you and more beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He meant ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her). ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: ... I had a neighbor from among the Ansar ... We used to take turns going down (from the upper area) to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). One day he would go down and one day I would go down. He would bring me news of revelation and so on, and I would bring him similar news on my day. (In those days) we were talking among ourselves that the Ghassanids were preparing their horses to fight us. My companion went down (from ‘Awali to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him), then came to me at nightfall, knocked on my door, and called me. I came out and he said: A great event has occurred. I asked: What happened? Have the Ghassanids come? He said: No, but it is even greater and more serious than that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has divorced his wives. I said: Hafsah has failed and incurred loss. I already thought this was going to happen. (The next day) when I had performed the morning prayer, I put on my clothes, came to Madinah, and went to Hafsah. She was crying. I asked: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) divorce all of you? She said: I do not know, but he is secluded in that upper room. I went to his black slave and said: Ask permission for ‘Umar. He went in, then came out to me and said: I mentioned you to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but he remained silent. I went away until I sat by the pulpit, and there were many people sitting there, some of them weeping. I sat for a while, then the state that had overcome me overwhelmed me again. I went to the slave and said: Ask permission for ‘Umar. He entered, then came out to me and said: I mentioned you to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but he remained silent. I turned away, and suddenly the slave called me and said: Enter, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has given you permission. I entered, greeted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and saw that he was reclining on a mat made of palm fibers, which had left marks on his side. I said: O Messenger of Allah, have you divorced your wives? He raised his blessed head towards me and said: “No.” I said: Allah is the Greatest. O Messenger of Allah! If you had seen us, we Quraysh were a people who used to dominate our women. When we came to Madinah, we found a people whose women dominated them, so our women began to learn from their women (and started replying to men). One day I became angry with my wife, and she replied to me. I found her reply extremely unpleasant. She said: Do you find it unpleasant that I reply to you? By Allah! The wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also reply to him, and one of them even keeps away from him until night (remaining upset). So I said: Whoever among them does that has failed and incurred loss. Can any of them feel secure that, by doing this, Allah will not become angry with her due to the anger of His Messenger, and she will be ruined? At this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled. So I said: O Messenger of Allah! I went to Hafsah and said to her: Do not let it deceive you that your neighbor (co-wife) is more beautiful than you and more beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). At this, he smiled again. So I said: O Messenger of Allah! (May I sit and) talk with you? He said: “Yes.” So I sat down and looked around the house, and by Allah! I saw nothing in it except three hides. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah to grant abundance to your Ummah. The Persians and Romans have been given abundance, even though they do not worship Allah, the Exalted. At this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat up straight and said: “O son of al-Khattab! Are you in doubt? They are people whose good things have been hastened for them in this world.” I said: O Messenger of Allah! Seek forgiveness for me. And you had sworn, due to your intense anger at them (your wives), that you would not go to them for a month, until Allah, the Exalted, admonished you (for being grieved at your wives’ words and for vowing to abstain from lawful things).
