حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ دُرُسْتَ بَصْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ النَّاسُ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : فَاجْتَمَعَ صَوَاحِبَاتِي إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، فَقُلْنَ : يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ , وَإِنَّا نُرِيدُ الْخَيْرَ كَمَا تُرِيدُ عَائِشَةُ فَقُولِي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرِ النَّاسَ يُهْدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَيْنَمَا كَانَ ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ , فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَيْهَا , فَأَعَادَتِ الْكَلَامَ , فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ صَوَاحِبَاتِي قَدْ ذَكَرْنَ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ , فَأْمُرِ النَّاسَ يُهْدُونَ أَيْنَمَا كُنْتَ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ قَالَتْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : " يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ لَا تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةَ , فَإِنَّهُ مَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ الْوَحْيُ وَأَنَا فِي لِحَافِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْكُنَّ غَيْرِهَا " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَقَدْ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْسَلًا ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ رُمَيْثَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذَا ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَلَى رِوَايَاتٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ ، وَقَدْ رَوَى سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ .
´Narrated 'Aishah:` "The people used to give their gifts [to the Prophet (ﷺ)] on 'Aishah's day." She said: "So my companions gathered with Umm Salamah and they said 'O Umm Salamah! The people give their gifts on 'Aishah's day, and we desire good as 'Aishah desires, so tell the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to order the people to give (their gifts to) him no matter where he is.' So Umm Salamah said that, and he turned away from her. Then he turned back to her and she repeated the words saying: 'O Messenger of Allah! My companions have mentioned that the people give their gifts on 'Aishah's day, so order the people to give them no matter where you are.' So upon the third time she said that, he said: 'O Umm Salamah! Do not bother me about 'Aishah! For Revelation has not been sent down upon me while I was under the blankets of a woman among you other than her.'"

Explanation:
1:
In Sahih Bukhari, regarding the revelation about the acceptance of the repentance of Ka‘b ibn Malik radi Allahu anhu, it is mentioned that this revelation descended in the house of Umm Salamah radi Allahu anha.
However, this does not mean that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and Umm Salamah radi Allahu anha were under the same blanket.
The distinction of revelation descending while under a blanket is exclusive to Aisha radi Allahu anha,
and this is a very great virtue.

Hadith Commentary: Hafiz said: This does not necessitate the superiority of Aisha (radi Allahu anha) over Khadijah (radi Allahu anha); rather, it indicates superiority over those wives who were present during the time of Aisha (radi Allahu anha). As for the reason why revelation descended while she was in her clothes, it is possible that this was due to her noble father, Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu), being the special companion of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and Allah, the Exalted, granted this blessing to his daughter as well. Another possible reason is that Aisha (radi Allahu anha) was the particularly beloved wife of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), or it may be that she used to keep her clothes very clean.
In short, "That is the bounty of Allah; He gives it to whom He wills." ()
In another hadith, it is mentioned that then those wives sought intercession through Fatimah (radi Allahu anha). The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Daughter, if you love me, then love Aisha (radi Allahu anha)." They said: "Now I will not interfere in this matter."
Qastallani and Kirmani have said that, according to the count of hadiths, at this point, the first half of Sahih Bukhari is completed. However, in terms of sections (paras), the first half is completed at the fifteenth section.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
This hadith establishes that Aisha (radi Allahu anha) is superior to all the other noble wives (azwaj mutahharat, radi Allahu anhunna).
Since Khadijah (radi Allahu anha) had passed away before this, she is not included in this address.
➋
Some scholars have explained the particular distinction mentioned in the hadith by stating that Aisha (radi Allahu anha) had a special inclination towards cleanliness of clothing, and cleanliness is beloved to the angels.
For this reason, revelation would descend upon the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) while he was in her bed.
This does not mean that the other wives of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not care for cleanliness; rather, they too maintained the highest standards of cleanliness, but Aisha (radi Allahu anha) excelled above all.
In any case, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has compiled ample material regarding the virtues of Aisha (radi Allahu anha).
May Allah reward him with goodness.
(Fath al-Bari: 7/137) (Amin)

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The revelation is from Allah, therefore her (‘A’ishah radi Allahu anha) rank is also the highest in the sight of Allah among all of you, and this is a great honor for ‘A’ishah that among the wives present at that time, she was also the most virtuous in the sight of Allah. However, in this narration, there is no comparison with Khadijah (radi Allahu anha) because she was not alive at that time, and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said "among you (minkunna)."
