حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِمَاسَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ أَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ شَيْءٍ، فَقَالَتْ: مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟ فَقُلْتُ: رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ، فَقَالَتْ: كَيْفَ كَانَ صَاحِبُكُمْ لَكُمْ فِي غَزَاتِكُمْ هَذِهِ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا نَقَمْنَا مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، إِنْ كَانَ لَيَمُوتُ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنَّا الْبَعِيرُ فَيُعْطِيهِ الْبَعِيرَ، وَالْعَبْدُ فَيُعْطِيهِ الْعَبْدَ، وَيَحْتَاجُ إِلَى النَّفَقَةِ، فَيُعْطِيهِ النَّفَقَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَمْنَعُنِي الَّذِي فَعَلَ فِي مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَخِي أَنْ أُخْبِرَكَ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ فِي بَيْتِي هَذَا: «اللهُمَّ، مَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ أُمَّتِي شَيْئًا فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَاشْقُقْ عَلَيْهِ، وَمَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ أُمَّتِي شَيْئًا فَرَفَقَ بِهِمْ، فَارْفُقْ بِهِ.

I came to A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا to inquire something from her. She said: From which people art thou? I said: I am from the people of Egypt. She said: What was the behaviour of your governor towards you in this war of yours? I said: We did not experience anything bad from him. If the camel of a man from us died, he would bestow on him a camel. If any one of us lost his slave, he would give him a slave. If anybody was in need of the basic necessities of life, he would provide them with provisions. She said: Behold! the treatment that was meted out to my brother, Muhammad bin Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ , does not prevent me from telling you what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌). He said in this house of mine: O God, who (happens to) acquire some kind of control over the affairs of my people and is hard upon them-be Thou hard upon him, and who (happens to) acquire some kind of control over the affairs of my people and is kind to them-be Thou kind to him.
