Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Isma'il narrated to us, saying: Malik narrated to me from Abu al-Nadr, the freed slave of 'Umar ibn 'Ubayd Allah, from Abu Salama ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from 'A'ishah, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that she said: Sahih al-Bukhari 382.
Isma'il narrated to us...
The Shaykh : She said that as an explanation, because someone might ask: Why did she extend her feet until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) had to nudge her? Why did she not...? So she clarified this excuse so that she would not be accused of that accusation.
I used to sleep in front o Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and my legs were opposite his Qibla and in prostration he pushed my legs and I withdrew then and when he stood, I stretched them.' `Aisha added, "In those days the houses were without lights."
كنت أنام بين يدي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ورجلاي في قبلته، فإذا سجد غمزني فقبضت رجلي فإذا قام بسطتهما قالت: والبيوت يومئذ ليس فيها مصابيحIsma'il narrated to us...
The Shaykh : She said that as an explanation, because someone might ask: Why did she extend her feet until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) had to nudge her? Why did she not...? So she clarified this excuse so that she would not be accused of that accusation.
