أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ، ح قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَقِيهُ، بِبَغْدَادَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ قَالَا: ثنا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، ثنا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: جَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ⦗٦١⦘ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَوَجَدَ النَّاسَ جُلُوسًا عَلَى بَابِهِ لَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ: فَأُذِنَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَدَخَلَ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ، فَأُذِنَ لَهُ، فَدَخَلَ فَوَجَدَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسًا حَوْلَهُ نِسَاؤُهُ وَاجِمٌ سَاكِتٌ قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: لَأَقُولَنَّ شَيْئًا أُضْحِكُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ رَأَيْتَ ابْنَةَ خَارِجَةَ سَأَلْتَنِي النَّفَقَةَ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهَا فَوَجَأْتُ عُنُقَهَا قَالَ: فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ: " وَهُنَّ حَوْلِي كَمَا تَرَى يَسْأَلْنَنِي النَّفَقَةَ " قَالَ: فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَوَجَأَ عُنُقَهَا، وَقَامَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ فَوَجَأَ عُنُقَهَا، وَكِلَاهُمَا يَقُولُ: تَسْأَلْنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ؟ فَقُلْنَ: وَاللهِ لَا نَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ، ثُمَّ اعْتَزَلَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَهْرًا أَوْ تِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا} [الأحزاب: ٢٨]، حَتَّى بَلَغَ {لِلْمُحْسِنَاتِ مِنْكُنَّ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [الأحزاب: ٢٩] قَالَ: فَبَدَأَ بِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا، فَقَالَ: " يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَعْرِضَ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرًا، فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ لَا تَعْجَلِي فِيهِ حَتَّى تَسْتَشِيرِي أَبَوَيْكِ " قَالَتْ: وَمَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَتَلَا عَلَيْهَا الْآيَةَ قَالَتْ: أَفِيكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَسْتَشِيرُ أَبَوِيَّ بَلْ أَخْتَارُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أَسْأَلُكَ، أَلَّا تُخَيِّرَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِكَ بِالَّذِي قُلْتَ، قَالَ: " لَا تَسْأَلُنِي امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتُهَا، إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَبْعَثْنِي مُعَنِّتًا، وَلَكِنْ بَعَثَنِي مُعَلِّمًا مُيَسِّرًا "، رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ رَوْحِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ.
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came and sought permission (to enter) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He found people sitting at his door; not one of them had been given permission, but Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) alone was given permission. He went in, then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came and asked permission, and he too was given permission. He found the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sitting troubled and silent, with his wives around him. The narrator said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will say something that will make the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laugh." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! What would you think of the daughter of Kharijah? She asked me for maintenance, so I went to her and struck her on the neck." The narrator said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed and said: "These around me are also asking me for maintenance (expenses)." The narrator said: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) went up to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and struck her on the neck, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went up to Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) and struck her on the neck, and both of them said: "Do you ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for something that he (peace and blessings be upon him) does not have?" They said: "By Allah, we will never ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything that he does not have."
Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept away from them for a month, or twenty-nine (29) days. Then this verse was revealed: "O Prophet, say to your wives" [Surah al-Ahzab: 28]. The narrator said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) began with Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: "O Aishah! I am going to put a matter to you, and I would like you not to be hasty in it until you have consulted your parents." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked: "What is it?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this blessed verse (mentioned above). Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Should I consult my parents about you (peace and blessings be upon him)? No, rather I have chosen Allah and His Messenger. I request you not to tell your other wives what I have said." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No; if any of them asks me, I will tell her. Indeed, Allah Almighty did not send me to be harsh or to put others into hardship; rather He sent me as a teacher and one who makes things easy."
