اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: "كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سَافَرَ، أَقْرَعَ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ، فَأَيَّتُهُنَّ خَرَجَ سَهْمُهَا، خَرَجَ بِهَا مَعَهُ".
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to travel, he would draw lots among his wives, and the one whose name was drawn, he would take her along with him on the journey.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2244)
The woman whose name was drawn by lot, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would take only her along with him on a journey, and would leave the rest of the women in Madinah. This was the perfection of your sallallahu alayhi wa sallam’s justice; otherwise, the scholars have said that division was not obligatory upon you sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and Allah Ta’ala had given you sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the choice to stay with whichever woman you wished. He said: «﴿تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ .....﴾ [الأحزاب : 51]» Translation: “You may put aside whichever of them you wish, and take to yourself whichever you wish.”
