Hadith 6366
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ الْمَكِّيُّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : " مَا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى حَلَّ لَهُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا شَاءَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْمُصْطَفَى صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حُرِّمَ عَلَيْهِ النِّسَاءُ مُدَّةً ، ثُمَّ أُحِلَّ لَهُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ تَفَضُّلا تُفُضِّلَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى لا يَكُونَ بَيْنَ الْخَبَرِ وَالْكِتَابِ تَضَادُّ وَلا تَهَاتِرُ ، وَالَّذِي يَدُلُّ عَلَى هَذَا قَوْلُ عَائِشَةَ : مَا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى حَلَّ لَهُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ ، أَرَادَتْ بِذَلِكَ : إِِبَاحَةً بَعْدَ حَظْرٍ مُتَقَدِّمٍ عَلَى مَا ذَكَرْنَا .
Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not pass away until it was made lawful for him that he could marry as many women as he wished.
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) There is a possibility that initially it was forbidden for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to marry more women than a specified number, and then before his passing, it was made lawful for him to marry women (without any specified number). This was a special favor bestowed upon him (peace be upon him). In this case, there will remain no contradiction or difference between the hadith and the Book of Allah, and this is indicated by Lady Aisha’s (may Allah be pleased with her) acceptance that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not pass away until it was made lawful for him to marry women (without any specified number). So, by this, Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) means: this was a permission that came after a previous prohibition, as we have mentioned earlier.

Hadith 6367
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاءِ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : " كُنْتُ أَغَارُ عَلَى اللاتِي وَهَبْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَقُولُ : تَهَبُ الْمَرْأَةُ نَفْسَهَا ؟ فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ : تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَمَنِ ابْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ سورة الأحزاب آية 51 ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَى رَبَّكَ إِِلا يُسَارِعُ فِي هَوَاكَ " .
Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I used to get very angry at those women who would offer themselves in marriage to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). I used to think, could any woman offer herself for marriage? When Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: «تُرْجِي مَن تَشَاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَن تَشَاءُ وَمَنِ ابْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ» (Al-Ahzab: 51), Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I said, "By Allah! I see that your Lord hastens to fulfill your wishes."
