Volume 7, Book 62, Number 138:
Narrated al-Qasim:
Aisha said that whenever the Prophet intended to go on a journey, he drew lots among his wives
(so as to take one of them along with him). During one of his journeys the lot fell on 'Aisha and Haf –
sa. When night fell the Prophet would ride beside 'Aisha and talk with her. One night Hafsa said to
'Aisha, "Won't you ride my camel tonight and I ride yours, so that you may see (me) and I see (you)
(in new situation)?" 'Aisha said, "Yes, (I agree.)" So 'Aisha rode, and then the Prophet came towards
'Aisha's camel on which Hafsa was riding. He greeted Hafsa and then proceeded (beside her) till they
dismounted (on the way). 'Aisha missed him, and so, when they dismounted, she put her legs in the
Idhkhir and said, "O Lord (Allah)! Send a scorpion or a snake to bite me for I am not to blame him
(the Prophet ).
