Aishah the wife of the Prophet ﷺ said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the farewell pilgrimage and raised the voice in talbiyah for an ‘Umrah. The Apostel of Allah ﷺ said those who have brought the sacrificial animals with them should raise their voices in talbiyah for Hajj along with an ‘Umrah and they should not put off their Ihram till they do so after performing them both. I came to Makkah while I was menstruating and I did not go round the House (the Kaabah) or run between al-Safa and al-Marwah. I complained about this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ he said: Undo your hair, comb it and raise your voice in talbiyah for Hajj and let Umrah go. She said I did so. When we performed Hajj, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me along with Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr to al-Ta’nim and I performed Umrah. He said, this is Umrah in place of the one you had missed. She said those who had raised their voices in talbiyah for Umrah put off Ihram after circumambulating the House (the Kaabah) and after running between al-Safa and al-Marwa. Then they performed another circumambulation for their Hajj after they returned from Mina but those who combined Hajj and Umrah performed only one circumambulation.

Aishah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying “If I had known beforehand about my affair what I have come to know later, I would not have brought the sacrificial animals with me. The narrator Muhammad (bin Yahya) said “ I think he (’Uthman bin Umar) said and I would have taken off my ihram with those who have put their ihram after performing ‘Umrah. He said “By this he intended that all the people might have performed equal rites (of Hajj)

Aishah said The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered Makkah from the side of Kuda’ the upper end of Makkah in the year of conquest (of Makkah) and he entered from the side of Kida’ when he performed ‘Umrah. Urwah used to enter (Makkah) from both sides, but he often entered from the side of Kuda’ as it was nearer to his house.

Aishah said When the Prophet ﷺ entered Makkah he entered from the side of the upper end and he came out from the side of the lower end.

Umm Salamah said I complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I was ill. He said “Perform the circumambulation riding behind the people”. She said “I performed circumambulation and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was praying towards the side of the House (the Kaabah) and reciting “by al Tur and a Book inscribed”. ”

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who accompanied him did not go round the Kabah till they threw pebbles at the Jamrah (pillar at Mina).

Urwa bin Al Zubair said I said to Aishah, wife of the Prophet ﷺ while I was a boy. What do you think about the pronouncement of Allaah, the Exalted “Lo! (The Mountains) Al Safa’ and Al Marwah are among the indications of Allaah. “I think there is no harm for anyone if he does not run between them. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said Nay, had it been so as you said, it would have been thus. It is no sin on him not to go around them. This verse was revealed about the Ansaar, they used to perform hajj for Manat. Manat was erected in front of Qudaid. Hence they used to avoid going around Al Safa and Al Marwah. When Islam came, they asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. Allaah, the Exalted therefore revealed the verse “Lo! (The Mountains) Al Safa’ and Al Marwah are among the indications of Allaah.

Aishah said “Quraish and those who followed their religion used to station at Al Muzdalifah and they were called Al Hums and the rest of Arabs used to station at ‘Arafah. When Islam came, Allaah the most High commanded His Prophet ﷺ to go to ‘Arafah and station there then go quickly from it. That is in accordance with the words of Him Who is exalted “Then go quickly from where the people went quickly. ”

Hisham bin Urwah reported on the authority of his father Usamah bin Zaid was asked when I was sitting along with him, how did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ travel during the Farewell Pilgrimage when he proceeded from ‘Arafah to Al Muzdalifah? He replied he was travelling at a quick pace and when he found an opening he urged on his Camel. Hisham said “Nass (running or urging on the Camel) is above ‘anaq (going at a quick pace). ”

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet ﷺ sent Umm Salamah on the night before the day of sacrifice and she threw pebbles at the jamrah before dawn. She hastened (to Makkah) and performed the circumambulation. That day was the one the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent with her.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed two Umrahs: one Umrah in Dhul-Qa'dah, and the other in Shawwal.

Narrated Aishah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned about Safiyyah, daughter of Huyayy. He was told that she had menstruated. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: She may probably detain us. They (the people) said: She has performed the obligatory circumambulation (Tawaf al-Ziyarah). He said: If so, there is no need (of staying any longer).

Narrated Aishah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ alighted at al-Muhassab so that it might be easier for him to proceed (to Madina). It is not a sunnah (i. e. a rite of Hajj). Anyone who desires may alight there, and anyone who does not want may not alight.

Narrated Az-Zubayr: When we came along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Liyyah and we were beside the lote tree, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped at the end of al-Qarn al-Aswad opposite to it. He then looked at Nakhb or at its valley. He stopped and all the people stopped. He then said: The game of Wajj and its thorny trees are unlawful made unlawful for Allah. This was before he alighted at at-Taif and its fortress for Thaqif.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet ﷺ said: What is unlawful by reason of consanguinity is unlawful by reason of fosterage.

Umm Salamah reported Umm Habibah said “Are you interested in my sister, Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” He said “What should I do?” She said “You marry her” He said “Your sister?” She said “Yes”. He said “Do you like that?” she said “I am not alone with you of those who share me in this good, my sister is most to my liking. He said “She is not lawful for me. ” She said “By Allaah, I was told that you were going to betroth with you Darrah to Durrah, the narrator Zuhair doubted the daughter of Abu Salamah. He said “The daughter of Umm Salamah? She said “Yes”. He said “ (She is my step daughter). Even if she had not been my step daughter under my protection, she would not have been lawful for me. She is my foster niece (daughter of my brother by fosterage). Thuwaibah suckled me as well as his father (Abu Salamah). So do not present to me your daughters and your sisters.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Aflah ibn AbulQu'ays entered upon me. I hid myself from him. He said: You are hiding yourself from me while I am your paternal uncle. She said: I said: From where? He said: The wife of my brother suckled you. She said: The woman suckled me and not the man. Thereafter the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me and I told him this matter. He said: He is your paternal uncle; he may enter upon you.

Aishah wife of the Prophet ﷺ and Umm Salamah said “Abu Hudaifah bin ‘Utbah bin Rabiah bin Abd Shams adopted Salim as his son and married him to his niece Hind, daughter of Al Walid bin ‘Utbah bin Rabiah. He (Salim) was the freed slave of a woman from the Ansar (the Helpers) as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ adopted Zaid as his son. In pre Islamic days when anyone adopted a man as his son, the people called him by his name and he was given a share from his inheritance. Allaah, the Exalted, revealed about this matter “Call them by (the name of) their fathers, that is juster in the sight of Allaah. And if ye know not their fathers, then (they are) your brethren in the faith and your clients. They were then called by their names of their fathers. A man, whose father was not known, remained under the protection of someone and considered brother in faith. Sahlah daughter of Suhail bin Amr Al Quraishi then came and said Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we used to consider Salim (our) son. He dwelled with me and Abu Hudhaifah in the same house, and he saw me in the short clothes, but Allaah the Exalted, has revealed about them what you know, then what is your opinion about him? The Prophet ﷺ said give him your breast feed. She gave him five breast feeds. He then became like her foster son. Hence, Aishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) used to ask the daughters of her sisters and the daughters of her brethren to give him breast feed five times, whom Aishah wanted to see and who wanted to visit her. Though he might be of age; he then visited her. But Umm Salamah and all other wives of the Prophet ﷺ refused to allow anyone to visit them on the basis of such breast feeding unless one was given breast feed during infancy. They told Aishah by Allaah we do not know whether that was a special concession granted by the Prophet ﷺ to Salim exclusive of the people.

Narrated Hajjaj ibn Malik al-Aslami: I asked: Messenger of Allah, what will remove from me the obligation due for fostering a child? He said: A slave or a slave-woman.

Ibn Shihab said “Urwah bin Al Zubair asked Aishah, wife of the Prophet ﷺ about the Quranic verse “And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you. ” She said “O my nephew, this means the female orphan who is under the protection of her guardian and she holds a share in his property and her property and beauty attracts him; so her guardian intends to marry her without doing justice to her in respect of her dower and he gives her the same amount of dower as others give her. They (i. e., the guardians) were prohibited to marry them except that they do justice to them and pay them their maximum customary dower and they were asked to marry women other than them (i. e., the orphans) who seem good to them. Urwah reported that Aishah said “The people then consulted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about women after revelation of this verse. Thereupon Allaah the Exalted sent down the verse “They consult thee concerning women. Say Allaah giveth you decree concerning them and the scripture which hath been recited unto you (giveth decree) concerning female orphans unto whom you give not that which is ordained for them though you desire to marry them. “ She said “The mention made by Allaah about the Scripture recited to them refers to the former verse in which Allaah has said “And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you. ” Aishah said “The pronouncement of Allaah, the Exalted in the latter verse “though you desire to marry them” means the disinterest of one of you in marrying a female orphan who was under his protection, but she said little property and beauty. So they were prohibited to marry them for their interest in the property and beauty of the female orphans due to their disinterest in themselves except that they do justice )to them). The narrator Yunus said “Rabiah said explain the Quranic verse “And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans” means “Leave them if you fear (that you will not do justice to them), for I have made four women lawful for you. ”

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Ibn Abi Mulaikah. He said “Ali (Allaah be pleased with him) then kept silence about the marriage (i. e., marrying Abi Jahl’s daughter)

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The marriage of a woman who marries without the consent of her guardians is void. (He said these words) three times. If there is cohabitation, she gets her dower for the intercourse her husband has had. If there is a dispute, the sultan (man in authority) is the guardian of one who has none.

This tradition has also been transmitted by Aishah through a different chain of narrators from the Prophet ﷺ to the same effect. Abu Dawud said “Jafar did not hear any tradition from Al Zuhri. Al Zuhri gave him his writing. ”

Ibn Az-Zubayr reported on the authority of Umm Habibah that she was the wife of Ibn Jahsh, but he died, He was among those who migrated to Abyssinia. Negus then married her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Urwah reported on the authority of Umm Habibah that she was married to Abdullah ibn Jahsh who died in Abyssinia, so the Negus married her to the Prophet ﷺ giving her on his behalf a dower of four thousand (dirhams). He sent her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with Shurahbil ibn Hasanah. Abu Dawud said: Hasanah is his mother.

Narrated Aishah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married me when I was seven years old. The narrator Sulaiman said: or Six years. He had intercourse with me when I was nine years old.

Narrated Hisham bin Urwah: On the authority of his father that Aishah said: O my nephew, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not prefer one of us to the other in respect of his division of the time of his staying with us. It was very rare that he did not visit us any day (i. e. he visited all of us every day). He would come near each of his wives without having intercourse with her until he reached the one who had her day and passed his night with her. When Saudah daughter of Zam'ah became old and feared that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would divorce her, she said: Messenger of Allah, I give to Aishah the day you visit me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ accepted it from her. She said: We thing that Allah, the Exalted, revealed about this or similar matter the Quranic verse: "If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part. . . . " [4: 128]

Aishah wife of the Prophet ﷺ reported “When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to go on a journey he cast lots amongst his wives and the one who was chosen by lot went on it with him. He divided his time, day and night (equally) for each of his wives except that Saudah daughter of Zam’ah gave her day to Aishah.

A similar tradition has been transmitted by Aishah through a different chain of narrators.

While relating the tradition about Barirah Aishah said “her husband was a slave, so the Prophet ﷺ gave her choice. She chose herself. Had he been a free man, he would not given her choice. ”

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Barirah was emancipated, and she was the wife of Mughith, a slave of Aal Abu Ahmad. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave her choice, and said to her: If he has intercourse with you, then there is no choice for you.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me. The version of Musaddad and Ibn as-Sarh has: one day looking pleased". The version of Uthman has: "The lines of his forehead were realised. " He said: O Aishah, are you not surprised to hear that Mujazziz al-Mudlaji saw that Zayd and Usamah had a rug over them concerning their heads and letting their feet appear. He said: These feet are related. Abu Dawud: Usamah was black and Zaid was white.

Aishah wife of the Prophet ﷺ said “Marriage in pre Islamic times was of four kinds. ” One of them was the marriage contracted by the people today. A man asked another man to marry his relative (sister or daughter) to him. He fixed the dower and married her to him. Another kind of marriage was that a man asked his wife when she became pure from menstruation to send fro so and so and have sexual intercourse with him. Her husband kept himself aloof and did not have intercourse with her till It became apparent that she was pregnant from the man who had intercourse with her. When it was manifest that she was pregnant, her husband approached her if he liked. This marriage was called istibda’ (to utilize man for intercourse for a noble birth). A third kind of marriage was that a group of people less than ten in number entered upon a woman and had intercourse with her. When she conceived gave birth to a child and a number of days passed after her delivery, she sent for them. No one of them could refuse to attend and they gathered before her. She said to them “You have realized your affair. I have now given birth to a child. And this is your son. O so and so. She called the name of anyone of them she liked and the child was attributed to him. A fourth kind of marriage was that many people gathered together and entered upon a woman who did not prevent anyone who came to her. They were prostitutes. They hoisted flags at their doors which served as a sign for the one who intended to enter upon them. When she became pregnant and delivered the child, they got together before her and called for the experts of tracing relationship from physical features. They attributed the child to whom they considered and it was given to him. The child was called his son and he could not deny. When Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ as a Prophet, he abolished all kinds of marriages prevalent among the people of the pre Islamic times except of the Muslims practiced today.

Aishah said “Saad bin Abi Waqqas and Abd bin Zamah disputed amongst themselves about the (relationship of the) son of the slave girl of Zam’ah and brought the case to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Saad said “My brother ‘Utbah enjoined me that when I came to Makkah I should see the son of the slave girl of Zam’ah and take his possession for that is his son”. Abd bin Zam’ah said “He is my brother, the son of my father’s slave girl having been born on my father’s bed”. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw his clear resemblance to ‘Utbah. So he said “The child is attributed to the one on whose bed it is born and the fornicator is deprived of any right (lit. the fornicator will have the stone). Veil yourself from him, Saudah. Musaddad added in his version “he is your brother Abd”.

Urwah said: Aishah (Allah be pleased with her) severely objected to the tradition of Fatimah daughter of Qays. She said: Fatimah lived in a desolate house and she feared for her loneliness there. Hence the Messenger of Allah ﷺ accorded permission to her (to leave the place).

Urwah ibn az-Zubayr said: Aishah was asked: Did you not see (i. e. known) the statement of Fatimah? She replied: It is not good for her to mention it (to others).

Narrated Umar: The Prophet ﷺ as saying: When the night approaches from this side and the day retreats on that side, and the sun sets - according to the version of Musaddad - he who fasts has reached the time to break it.

Narrated Aishah: The Prophet ﷺ as saying: If anyone dies when some fast is due from him (i. e. which he could not keep) his heir must fast on his behalf. Abu Dawud said: This applies to the fast which a man vows ; and this is the opinion of Ahmad bin Hanbal.

Narrated Aishah: Hamzat al-Aslami asked the Prophet ﷺ: Messenger of Allah, I am a man who keeps perpetual fast, may I fast while on a journey? He replied: Fast if you like, or break your fast if you like.

Aishah said: The Quraish used to fast on the day of Ashurah in pre Islamic days. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would fast on it in pre-Islamic period. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madina, he fasted on it and commanded to fast on it. When the fast of Ramadan was prescribed, that became obligatory, and (fasting on) Ashurah was abandoned. He who wishes may fast on it and he who wishes may leave it.
