Bayhaqi 13419 — What was particular to him ﷺ: that his wives

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ النَّضْرَوِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ بَجَالَةَ، أَوْ غَيْرِهِ قَالَ: مَرَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِغُلَامٍ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْمُصْحَفِ: {النَّبِيُّ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجُهُ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ} [الأحزاب: ٦] وَهُوَ أَبٌ لَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: " يَا غُلَامُ حُكَّهَا " قَالَ: هَذَا مُصْحَفُ أَبِي فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ، فَسَأَلَهُ، ⦗١١١⦘ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُلْهِينِي الْقُرْآنُ، وَيُلْهِيكَ الصَّفْقُ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ ".
Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by a boy who was reading: "The Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers" [Surah al-Ahzab: 6] "and he is a father to them." He said: "O boy! Erase it." He said: "This is the mushaf of Ubayy (Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b, may Allah be pleased with him)." So he went to Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him, and he said: "That is because the Qur'an kept me occupied (I was reciting the Qur'an), while the clamour of the markets kept you busy (that is, buying and selling)."
