Abdullah bin Abi Atiq said: Al-Qasim bin Muhammad and I were talking in the presence of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her).

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Qasim, why do you not speak the way this nephew of mine speaks? I know where you got it from: this one was brought up by his mother, and you were brought up by your mother." Abdullah said: Al-Qasim bin Muhammad became angry and harboured resentment against her. When he saw that the food tray of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) had been brought, he stood up. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked: "Where (are you going)?" Al-Qasim said: "I want to pray." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Sit down." He said: "I want to pray."
