Hadith 341
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، قَالَتْ : قِيلَ لِعَائِشَةَ: مَاذَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِهِ؟ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ بَشَرًا مِنَ الْبَشَرِ، يَفْلِي ثَوْبَهُ، وَيَحْلُبُ شَاتَهُ، وَيَخْدُمُ نَفْسَهُ»
Umrah narrates that Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was asked: What did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) do at home? She replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was a human being among humans; he would search his clothes for lice, milk his goat, and carry out his personal tasks himself.
