Allah’s Apostle used to drink honey in the house of Zainab, the daughter of Jahsh, and would stay
there with her. So Hafsa and I agreed secretly that, if he come to either of us, she would say to him.
“It seems you have eaten Maghafir (a kind of bad-smelling resin), for I smell in you the smell of
Maghafir,” (We did so) and he replied. “No, but I was drinking honey in the house of Zainab, the
daughter of Jahsh, and I shall never take it again. I have taken an oath as to that, and you should not
tell anybody about it.”

The Prophet used to offer prayer at night (for such a long time) that his feet used to crack. I said,
“O Allah’s Apostle! Why do you do it since Allah has forgiven you your faults of the past and those to
follow?” He said, “Shouldn’t I love to be a thankful slave (of Allah)?’ When he became old, he prayed
while sitting, but if he wanted to perform a bowing, he wound get up, recite (some other verses) and
then perform the bowing.

(the wife of the Prophet), I never saw Allah’s Apostle laughing loudly enough to enable me to see
his uvula, but he used to smile only. And whenever he saw clouds or winds, signs of deep concern
would appear on his face. I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! When people see clouds they usually feel happy,

hoping that it would rain, while I see that when you see clouds, one could notice signs of dissatisfac –
tion on your face.” He said, “O ‘Aisha! What is the guarantee for me that there will be no punishment
in it, since some people were punished with a wind? Verily, some people saw (received) the punish –
ment, but (while seeing the cloud) they said, ‘This cloud will give us rain.’ “

wives. So Allah’s Apostle started with me, saying, “I am going to mention to you something but you
should not hasten (to give your reply) unless you consult your parents.’ He knew that my parents
would not order me to leave him. Then he said, “Allah says:–
“O Prophet! Say to your wives…” (33.28-29)
On that I said to him, “Then why should I consult my parents? Verily, I seek Allah, His Apostle and
the Home of the Hereafter.”

reply) unless you consult your parents.” The Prophet knew that my parents would not order me to
leave him. Then he said, “Allah says: ‘O Prophet (Muhammad)! Say to your wives: If you desire the
life of this world and its glitter……..a great reward.” (33.28-29) I said, “Then why I consult my par –
ents? Verily, I seek Allah, His Apostle and the Home of the Hereafter.” Then all the other wives of the
Prophet did the same as I did.

I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah’s Apostle and I used to
say, “Can a lady give herself (to a man)?” But when Allah revealed: “You (O Muhammad) can post –
pone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you
will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily).’
(33.51) I said (to the Prophet), “I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 318:
Narrated Aisha:
Sauda (the wife of the Prophet) went out to answer the call of nature after it was made obligatory
(for all the Muslims ladies) to observe the veil. She was a fat huge lady, and everybody who knew her
before could recognize her. So ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her and said, “O Sauda! By Allah, you can –
not hide yourself from us, so think of a way by which you should not be recognized on going out.
Sauda returned while Allah’s Apostle was in my house taking his supper and a bone covered with
meat was in his hand. She entered and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I went out to answer the call of
nature and ‘Umar said to me so-and-so.” Then Allah inspired him (the Prophet) and when the state
of inspiration was over and the bone was still in his hand as he had not put in down, he said (to
Sauda), “You (women) have been allowed to go out for your needs.”
