أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي شُعَيْبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مِمَّا حَدَّثَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مِمَّا ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ انْظُرُوا كَيْفَ يَصْرِفُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي شَتْمَ قُرَيْشٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَعْنَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّهُمْ يَشْتِمُونَ مُذَمَّمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَلْعَنُونَ مُذَمَّمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ .

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Look at how Allah diverts the insults and curses of Quraish from me. They insult 'Mudhammam' and curse 'Mudhammam' -but I am Muhammad.

Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ narrated that

أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُوسَى بْنُ عُلَيٍّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا أُمِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِتَخْيِيرِ أَزْوَاجِهِ بَدَأَ بِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لَا تُعَجِّلِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ أَبَوَايَ لَمْ يَكُونَا لِيَأْمُرَانِّي بِفِرَاقِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ:‏‏‏‏ يَأَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ:‏‏‏‏ جَمِيلا [سورة الأحزاب آية 28]، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ أَفِي هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَيَّ ؟ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَسُولَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ:‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ حِينَ قَالَ لَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ وَاخْتَرْنَهُ طَلَاقًا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُنَّ اخْتَرْنَهُ .

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was commanded to give his wives the choice, he started with me and said: 'I am going to say something to you and you do not have to rush (to make a decision) until you consult your parents.' She said: He knew that my parents would never tell me to leave him. She said: Then he recited this Verse: 'O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter, then come! I will make a provision for you and set you free in a handsome manner.' I said: 'Do I need to consult my parents concerning this? I desire Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and His Messenger ﷺ, and the home of the Hereafter.' 'Aishah said: Then the wives of the Prophet all did the same as I did, and that was not counted as a divorce, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave them the choice and they chose him.

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا, the wife of the Prophet, said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَوْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ وَإِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ[ سورة الأحزاب آية 29]، ‏‏‏‏‏‏دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَدَأَ بِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا عَائِشَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لَا تُعَجِّلِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ عَلِمَ وَاللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أَبَوَيَّ لَمْ يَكُونَا لِيَأْمُرَانِّي بِفِرَاقِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَرَأَ عَلَيَّ:‏‏‏‏ يَأَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا سورة الأحزاب آية 28،‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ أَفِي هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَيَّ ؟ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللَّهَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَسُولَهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا خَطَأٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْأَوَّلُ أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ.

When the following was revealed: 'But if you desire Allah and His Messenger,' the Prophet ﷺ came and started with me. He said: 'O 'Aishah, I am going to say something to you and you do not have to rush (to make a decision) until you consult your parents.' She said: He knew, by Allah, that my parents would never tell me to leave him. Then he recited to me: 'O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter.' I said: 'Do I need to consult my parents concerning this? I desire Allah and His Messenger.' Ahu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: This is a mistake, and the first is more worthy of being correct. And Allah, Glorious is He and Most High, knows best.

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيل، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَامِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ خَيَّرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاخْتَرْنَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهَلْ كَانَ طَلَاقًا ؟ .

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us the choice and we chose him; was that a divorce?

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ:‏‏‏‏ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ خَيَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِسَاءَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَكُنْ طَلَاقًا .

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave his wives the choice but that was not a divorce.

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ صُدْرَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ خَيَّرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِسَاءَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَكُنْ طَلَاقًا .

The Prophet ﷺ gave his wives the choice and that was not a divorce.

It was narrated from Masruq that 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ خَيَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِسَاءَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَفَكَانَ طَلَاقًا ؟ .

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave his wives the choice; was that a divorce?

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الضَّعِيفُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ خَيَّرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاخْتَرْنَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يَعُدَّهَا عَلَيْنَا شَيْئًا .

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us the choice and we chose him, and that was not counted as anything.

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَوْهَبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ لِعَائِشَةَ غُلَامٌ وَجَارِيَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُعْتِقَهُمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ابْدَئِي بِالْغُلَامِ قَبْلَ الْجَارِيَةِ .

Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا had a male slave and a female slave. She said: 'I wanted to set them free, and I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Start with the male slave before the female slave.'

It was narrated that Al-Qasim bin Muhammad said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ فِي بَرِيرَةَ ثَلَاثُ سُنَنٍ إِحْدَى السُّنَنِ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهَا أُعْتِقَتْ فَخُيِّرَتْ فِي زَوْجِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْبُرْمَةُ تَفُورُ بِلَحْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ خُبْزٌ وَأُدْمٌ مِنْ أُدْمِ الْبَيْتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَمْ أَرَ بُرْمَةً فِيهَا لَحْمٌ ؟ فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ بَلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ذَلِكَ لَحْمٌ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَنْتَ لَا تَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ هُوَ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهُوَ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ .

Three Sunan were established because of Barirah رضی اللہ عنہا . One of those Sunan was that she was set free and was given the choice concerning her husband; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Al Wala' is to the one who set the slave free;' and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered when some meat was being cooked in a pot, but bread and some condiments were brought to him. He said: 'Do I not see a pot in which some meat is being cooked?' They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, that is meat that was given in charity to Barirah رضی اللہ عنہا and you do not eat (food given in) charity.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'It is charity for her and a gift for us.'

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا , the wife of the Prophet, said

أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِشَامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ فِي بَرِيرَةَ ثَلَاثُ قَضِيَّاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَرَادَ أَهْلُهَا أَنْ يَبِيعُوهَا وَيَشْتَرِطُوا الْوَلَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اشْتَرِيهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَعْتِقِيهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأُعْتِقَتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ فَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ يُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتُهْدِي لَنَا مِنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُلُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهُوَ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ .

Three judgments were established because of Barirah رضی اللہ عنہا. Her masters wanted to sell her but they stipulated that Al-Wala should still be to them. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Buy her and set her free, for Al-Wala, is to the one who sets the slave free.' She was set free and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave her the choice, and she chose herself. And she used to be given charity and she would give some of it as a gift to us. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Eat it for it is charity for her and a gift for us.'

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ اشْتَرَيْتُ بَرِيرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاشْتَرَطَ أَهْلُهَا وَلَاءَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَعْتِقِيهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّمَا الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْطَى الْوَرِقَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَعْتَقْتُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَيَّرَهَا مِنْ زَوْجِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ لَوْ أَعْطَانِي كَذَا وَكَذَا مَا أَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا حُرًّا.

I bought Barirah رضی اللہ عنہا and her masters stipulated that her Wala' should go to them. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Set her free, and Al-Wala' is to the one who pays the silver.' So I set her free and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called her and gave her the choice concerning her husband. She said: 'Even if you gave me such and such, I would not stay with him,' so she chose herself and her husband was a free man.

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ بَرِيرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاشْتَرَطُوا وَلَاءَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اشْتَرِيهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَعْتِقِيهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأُتِيَ بِلَحْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ هَذَا مِمَّا تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا حُرًّا.

She wanted to buy Barirah رضی اللہ عنہا , but her masters stipulated that her Wala' should go to them. She mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: Buy her and set her free, for Al-Wala' is to the one who sets the slave free. Some meat was brought and it was said: This is some of that which was given in charity to Barirah رضی اللہ عنہا . He said: It is charity for her and a gift for us. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave her the choice, and her husband was a free man.

It was narrated from 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا that

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ كَاتَبَتْ بَرِيرَةُ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا بِتِسْعِ أَوَاقٍ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ بِأُوقِيَّةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَتْ عَائِشَةَ تَسْتَعِينُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ أَعُدَّهَا لَهُمْ عَدَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَيَكُونُ الْوَلَاءُ لِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبَتْ بَرِيرَةُ فَكَلَّمَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ أَهْلَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَوْا عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الْوَلَاءُ لَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ لَهَا:‏‏‏‏ مَا قَالَ أَهْلُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏هَا اللَّهِ إِذًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الْوَلَاءُ لِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ بَرِيرَةَ أَتَتْنِي تَسْتَعِينُ بِي عَلَى كِتَابَتِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءُوا أَنْ أَعُدَّهَا لَهُمْ عَدَّةً وَاحِدَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَكُونُ الْوَلَاءُ لِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِأَهْلِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَوْا عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ الْوَلَاءُ لَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ ابْتَاعِيهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاشْتَرِطِي لَهُمُ الْوَلَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَشْتَرِطُونَ شُرُوطًا لَيْسَتْ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ؟ يَقُولُونَ:‏‏‏‏ أَعْتِقْ فُلَانًا وَالْوَلَاءُ لِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كِتَابُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَحَقُّ وَشَرْطُ اللَّهِ أَوْثَقُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكُلُّ شَرْطٍ لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ كَانَ مِائَةَ شَرْطٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ عَبْدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاخْتَارَتْ نَفْسَهَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عُرْوَةُ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَوْ كَانَ حُرًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَا خَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

Barirah رضی الله عنہا made a contract that she would be freed in return for nine Awaq, one Uqiyyah to be paid each year. She came to 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا asking for help and she said: No, not unless they agree to accept the sum in one payment, and that the Wala' will go to me. Barirah رضی الله عنہا went and spoke to her masters but they insisted that the Wala' should be for them. She came to 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, and she told her what her masters had said. She said: No, by Allah, not unless Wala' is to me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What is this? She said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Barirah رضی الله عنہا came to me and asked me to help her with her contract of manumission, and I said no, not unless they agree to accept the sum in one payment, and that the Wala' will be for me. She mentioned that to her masters and they insisted that the Wala' should be for them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Buy her, and stipulate that the Wala' is for the one who sets the slave free. Then he stood up and addressed the people and said: What is the matter with people who stipulate conditions that are not in the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime? They say: 'I set so-and-so free but the Wala' will be to me.' Every condition that is not in the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, is a false condition, even if there are a hundred conditions. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave her the choice with regard to her husband who was still a slave, and she chose herself. 'Urwah said: If he had been free the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not have given her the choice.

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا said

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُومَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ زَوْجُ بَرِيرَةَ عَبْدًا .

The husband of Barirah رضی اللہ عنہا was a slave.

It was narrated that 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا , said

أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهَا اشْتَرَتْ بَرِيرَةَ مِنْ أُنَاسٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاشْتَرَطُوا الْوَلَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ وَلِيَ النِّعْمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَخَيَّرَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا عَبْدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَهْدَتْ لِعَائِشَةَ لَحْمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَوْ وَضَعْتُمْ لَنَا مِنْ هَذَا اللَّحْمِ ؟ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ:‏‏‏‏ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هُوَ عَلَيْهَا صَدَقَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهُوَ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ .

She bought Barirah رضی اللہ عنہا from some of the Ansar who stipulated that her Wala' should go to them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Al-Wala' is to the one who did the favor (of setting the slave free). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave her the choice, as her husband was a slave. And she gave some meat to 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا as a gift, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Why don't you give me some of this meat? 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said: It was given in charity to Barirah. He said: It is a charity for her, and a gift for us.

It was narrated from 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ الْكَرْمَانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ وَصِيَّ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَفَرِقْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَبِيكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ:‏‏‏‏ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ بَرِيرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاشْتُرِطَ الْوَلَاءُ لِأَهْلِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اشْتَرِيهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ الْوَلَاءَ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَخُيِّرَتْ وَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا عَبْدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَا أَدْرِي ؟ وَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَحْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا مِمَّا تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَلَى بَرِيرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هُوَ لَهَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ .

I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about Barirah رضی اللہ عنہا, as I wanted to buy her but it was stipulated that the Wala' would go to her (former) masters. He said: 'Buy her, for the Wala' is to the one who sets the slave free.' And she was given the choice, as her husband was a slave. Then he said, after that: I do not know. -- And some meat was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they said: 'This is some of that which was given in charity to Barirah.' He said: 'It is charity for her and a gift for us.'

Yahya bin Abi Bukair Al-Karmani said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Qasim, from his father, from 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا . He (Shu'bah) said: And he ('Abdur-Rahman) was the executor for his father. He (Shu'bah) said: I was afraid to say to him: 'Did you hear this from your father.' -- 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said

One morning, we saw the wives of the Prophet ﷺ weeping, and each one of them had her family with her. I entered the Masjid and found it filled with people. Then 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ, came, and went to the Prophet ﷺ who was in his room. He greeted him with the Salam but no one answered. He greeted him again but no one answered. He greeted him (a third time) but no one answered. So he went back and called out: 'Bilal!' He came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'Have you divorced your wives?' He said: 'No, but I have sworn an oath of abstention from them for a month.' So he stayed away from them for twenty-nine days, then he came and went into his wives.

Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ آلَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ شَهْرًا فِي مَشْرَبَةٍ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَكَثَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ نَزَلَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَلَيْسَ آلَيْتَ عَلَى شَهْرٍ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ .

The Prophet ﷺ swore an oath of abstention from his wives for a month and stayed in his room for twenty-nine days. It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, did you not swear an oath of abstention for a month?' He said: 'This month is twenty-nine days.'

It was narrated that Anas رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنِّي ظَاهَرْتُ مِنَ امْرَأَتِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَقَعْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُكَفِّرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُ خَلْخَالَهَا فِي ضَوْءِ الْقَمَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَقْرَبْهَا حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ .

A man came to the Prophet ﷺ who had declared Zihar from his wife, then he had intercourse with her. He said: O Messenger of Allah, I declared Zihar on my wife, then I had intercourse with her before I offered the expiation. He said: What made you do that, may Allah have mercy on you? He said: I saw her anklets in the light of the moon. He said: Do not approach her until you have done that which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has commanded.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas رضی الله عنہما that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ تَظَاهَرَ رَجُلٌ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَصَابَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏رَأَيْتُ خَلْخَالَهَا أَوْ سَاقَيْهَا فِي ضَوْءِ الْقَمَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ فَاعْتَزِلْهَا حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ مَا أَمَرَكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ .

A man declared Zihar to his wife, then had intercourse with her before he had offered the expiation. He mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'What made you do that?' He said: 'May Allah have mercy on you, O Messenger of Allah. I saw her anklets, or her calves, in the light of the moon.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Keep away from her until you have done that which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has commanded.'

A man came to the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Prophet of Allah,' and that he had declared Zihar to his wife, then he had intercourse with her before he did what he had to do. He said: 'What made you do that?' He said: 'O Prophet of Allah! I saw the whiteness of her calves in the moonlight.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Keep away until you have done what you have to do.' (One of the narrators) Ishaq said in his Hadith: Keep away from her until you have done what you have to do. The wording is that of Muhammad.

Ikrimah said

Praise be to Allah Whose hearing encompasses all voices. Khawlah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ complaining about her husband, but I could not hear what she said. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: 'Indeed Allah has heard the statement of her that disputes with you concerning her husband, and complains to Allah. And Allah hears the argument between you both.'

It was narrated from 'Aishah رضی الله عنہا that She said

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا الْمَخْزُومِيُّ وَهُوَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْمُنْتَزِعَاتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمُخْتَلِعَاتُ هُنَّ الْمُنَافِقَاتُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ الْحَسَنُ:‏‏‏‏ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ:‏‏‏‏ الْحَسَنُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ شَيْئًا.

The Prophet ﷺ said: Women who seek divorce and Khul' are like the female hypocrites. Al-Hasan said: I did not hear it from anyone other than Abu Hurairah.

It was narrated from Ayyub, from Al-Hasan, from Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ, that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتِ سَهْلٍ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصُّبْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَجَدَ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ سَهْلٍ عِنْدَ بَابِهِ فِي الْغَلَسِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ هَذِهِ ؟ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَا حَبِيبَةُ بِنْتُ سَهْلٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا شَأْنُكِ ؟ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ لِزَوْجِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا جَاءَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ هَذِهِ حَبِيبَةُ بِنْتُ سَهْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَدْ ذَكَرَتْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَذْكُرَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ حَبِيبَةُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كُلُّ مَا أَعْطَانِي عِنْدِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِثَابِتٍ:‏‏‏‏ خُذْ مِنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَجَلَسَتْ فِي أَهْلِهَا .

She told him about Habibah bint Sahl رضی الله عنہا: She was married to Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to pray As-Subh and he found Habibah bint Sahl at his door at the end of the night. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Who is this?' She said: 'I am Habibah bint Sahl, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'What is the matter?' She said: 'I cannot live with Thabit bin Qais' -her husband. When Thabit bin Qais رضی اللہ عنہ came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Here is Habibah bint Sahl and she has said what Allah willed she should say.' Habibah رضی اللہ عنہا said: 'O Messenger of Allah, everything that he gave me is with me.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Take it from her.' So he took it from her and she stayed with her family.
