أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، أنا الرَّبِيعُ، أنا الشَّافِعِيُّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ بَعْضَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُ قَوْلًا مَعْنَاهُ مَا أَصِفُ: " لَنْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا بِمَا فِي الْقُلُوبِ فَلَا تَمِيلُوا كُلَّ الْمَيْلِ لَا تُتْبِعُوا أَهْوَاءَكُمْ أَفْعَالَكُمْ فَيَصِيرُ الْمَيْلُ بِالْفِعْلِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لَكُمْ فَتَذَرُوهَا كَالْمُعَلَّقَةِ وَمَا أَشْبَهَ مَا قَالُوا عِنْدِي بِمَا قَالُوا؛ لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى تَجَاوَزَ عَمَّا فِي الْقُلُوبِ وَكَتَبَ عَلَى النَّاسِ الْأَفْعَالَ وَالْأَقَاوِيلَ، فَإِذَا مَالَ بِالْقَوْلِ وَالْفِعْلِ فَذَلِكَ كُلُّ الْمَيْلِ ".
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard some of the people of knowledge saying (something), which I describe: "You will never be able to be just" [Surah al-Nisa: 129] in what is in your hearts, so "do not incline completely" [Surah al-Nisa: 129], meaning that you should not follow your desires and actions, for that would be inclination in deed, which is not permissible for you, so that "you leave her as one suspended" [Surah al-Nisa: 129]; because Allah, the Lord of Might, does not take to account what is in the heart, but He takes to account actions and words, and whoever inclines by word and deed, that is complete inclination.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي، أنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدُوسٍ، نا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، نا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {وَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ} [النساء: ١٢٩] قَالَ: " فِي الْحُبِّ وَالْجِمَاعِ ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said concerning this saying of Allah Almighty, "And you will never be able to be just between wives, even if you strive (to do so)" [Surah al-Nisa: 129]: What is meant by this is love and sexual intercourse.
وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: " لَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ أَنْ تَعْدِلَ، فِيمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُهُ: {أُحْضِرَتِ الْأَنْفُسُ الشُّحَّ} [النساء: ١٢٨] وَالشُّحُّ هَوَاهُ فِي الشَّيْءِ يَحْرِصُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: {فَلَا تَمِيلُوا كُلَّ الْمَيْلِ فَتَذَرُوهَا كَالْمُعَلَّقَةِ} [النساء: ١٢٩] يَقُولُ: تَذَرُهَا لَا أَيِّمًا وَلَا ذَاتَ بَعْلٍ ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: You will not be able to be just, despite your efforts: "And souls are prone to stinginess" [Surah al-Nisa: 128]. The desire for something that a person covets is called al-shuhh. Then He said: "So do not incline completely (to one) and leave the other as one suspended" [Surah al-Nisa: 129]. He says: You leave her neither unmarried nor having a husband.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنا أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ النَّضْرَوِيّ، أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، نا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، نا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَبِيدَةَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ: {وَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا بَيْنَ النِّسَاءِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ} [النساء: ١٢٩]، قَالَ: " فَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ وَقَالَ: فِي الْحُبِّ وَالْمُجَامَعَةِ ".
Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Abidah (may Allah have mercy on him) about this saying, "And you will never be able to be just between wives, even if you strive (to do so)" [Surah al-Nisa: 129]. He said: He pointed with his hand to his chest and said: (It is) in love and sexual intercourse.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، نا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، نا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، نا وَرْقَاءُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ: " يَعْنِي فِي الْحُبِّ فَلَا تَمِيلُوا كُلَّ الْمَيْلِ لَا تَعَمَّدُوا الْإِسَاءَةَ ".
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said concerning this verse: That is, in love. "So do not incline completely" [Surah al-Nisa: 129]: Do not intend wrongdoing.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ، بِبَغْدَادَ أنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّزَّازُ نا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شَاكِرٍ، نا عَفَّانُ، نا هَمَّامٌ، وَحَمَّادٌ، وَأَبَانُ، وَأَبُو عَوَانَةَ كُلُّهُمْ يُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى تَجَاوَزَ لِأُمَّتِي مَا حَدَّثَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا مَا لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا بِهِ أَوْ يَعْمَلُوا " ⦗٤٨٧⦘ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ. وَأَخْرَجَاهُ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقْسِمُ فَيَعْدِلُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: " اللهُمَّ هَذَا قَسْمِي فِيمَا أَمْلِكُ، وَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَا أَمْلِكُ "، يَعْنِي وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ قَلْبَهُ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has forgiven my Ummah its thoughts, as long as they do not speak of them or act upon them."
(b) Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It reached us that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be just when dividing turns, and then he would say: 'Allahumma hadha qasmi fima amlik, wa anta a'lamu bima la amlik' (O Allah, this is my division in what I own, and You know best what is not in my control).

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّفَّارُ نا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي، نا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، نا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْسِمُ فَيَعْدِلُ فَيَقُولُ: " اللهُمَّ هَذَا قَسْمِي فِيمَا أَمْلِكُ وَلَا تَلُمْنِي فِيمَا تَمْلِكُ وَلَا أَمْلِكُ " قَالَ الْقَاضِي: " يَعْنِي الْقَلْبَ، وَهَذَا فِي الْعَدْلِ بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ " قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُطَافُ بِهِ مَحْمُولًا فِي مَرَضِهِ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ حَتَّى حَلَلْنَهُ ".
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be just in dividing turns and would say: 'Allahumma hadha qasmi fima amlik, fa la talumni fima tamliku wa la amlik' (O Allah, this is my division in what I own, so do not blame me for what You own and I do not own). Al-Qadi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The heart is meant, and this concerns justice between the wives. Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It reached us that during his illness he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be carried around to his wives, until they released him (peace and blessings be upon him) (from it).
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الشَّعْرَانِيُّ، نا جَدِّي، نا ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ يَسْأَلُ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ أَيْنَ أَنَا غَدًا أَيْنَ أَنَا غَدًا يُرِيدُ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ أَزْوَاجُهُ يَكُونُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ فَكَانَ فِي بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَ عِنْدَهَا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ.
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: During his final illness, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) kept asking: "Where will I be tomorrow? Where will I be tomorrow?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) was waiting for the day of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). So his (peace and blessings be upon him) wives (may Allah be pleased with them) permitted him to stay wherever he wished, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the house of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and stayed there until he passed away.

Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him with the army of Dhat al-Salasil. He said: I came back and said: O Messenger of Allah! Who among the people is most beloved to you (peace and blessings be upon him)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Aishah." I asked: From among men? He said: "Her father." I said: Then who? He said: "Umar." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) counted several men. Others narrated it as "then Umar", that is, they related the words 'thumma Umar' (then Umar).
(b) In the hadith of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), when he said to his daughter Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her): "Do not be deceived by the fact that your neighbour is more beautiful and more beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than you," he meant Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her).

Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman bin al-Harith bin Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was lying with Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) in her wrapper, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) permission (to enter). Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Your wives have sent me to you (peace and blessings be upon him) asking that you (peace and blessings be upon him) deal justly with us regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I remained silent. She said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not love whom I love?" Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Of course. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then love her." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) heard this from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), she stood up, went back and told them what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said to her. They said to Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her): You have done nothing at all on our behalf. Go back again and tell the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that his (peace and blessings be upon him) wives ask for justice regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah. Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Now I will not even speak about this matter. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Then the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Of them, she was the one who most rivalled me, but I have never seen a woman better in religion than Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her): the most fearful of Allah, the most truthful in speech, the most devoted to family ties, the greatest in giving charity, and the most self-devoted to deeds of goodness through which nearness to Allah, the Lord of Might, is sought; except that she had a sharp tongue, though her anger quickly subsided. She said: She sought permission to come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was lying with Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) in her house, in her wrapper. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave her permission, and she said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Your wives have sent me to you, asking you for justice regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah. Then she spoke harshly against me, and I waited for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and looked at him (peace and blessings be upon him) to see whether he (peace and blessings be upon him) would permit me (to reply). She said: Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) kept on talking, until I realised that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would not dislike my retaliating. She said: When I started, I gave her a thorough scolding. She said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said: "She is the daughter of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)." In another narration it says: I set upon her.
