We are taking a new lesson. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said, regarding what he transmitted: "From Urwah." In my copy, it says: (may Allah be pleased with him). And what is known in the terminology of the scholars is that the expression of pleasure (radhi) is only for the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), whereas for anyone other than the Companions, one says: (may Allah have mercy on him). And Urwah is not one of the Companions. Urwah ibn al-Zubayr is one of the seven jurists whom the poet or the compiler of the verse referred to in his saying:

We are taking a new lesson. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said, regarding what he transmitted: "From Urwah". In my copy, it says: (may Allah be pleased with him). And what is known in the terminology of the scholars is that the expression of pleasure is only for the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), whereas for anyone other than the Companions, one says: (may Allah have mercy on him). And Urwah is not one of the Companions. Urwah ibn al-Zubayr is one of the seven jurists whom the poet or the compiler of the verse referred to in his saying:
"If it is asked: Who are the seven who have delved deep in knowledge? *** Their transmission is not deficient in knowledge.
Take them: 'Abd Allah, Urwah, Qasim, *** Sa'id, Abu Bakr, Sulayman, and al-Kharij.":
Seven from the Tabi'un, who became famous for jurisprudence, and they were given the title of the seven jurists. Did you memorize the verse?
The student: Once more.
The Shaykh :"If it is asked: Who are the seven who have delved deep in knowledge? *** Their transmission is not deficient in knowledge.
Take them: 'Abd Allah, Urwah, Qasim, *** Sa'id, Abu Bakr, Sulayman, and al-Kharij.".
And these are the ones mentioned in al-'Iraqi's *Alfiyyah* in terminology, and its commentary. There is disagreement among the scholars in identifying these seven, but most of them are agreed upon.
The important point is that Urwah ibn al-Zubayr is not one of the Companions.
He said: "Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said:Bulugh al-Maram 8:109":
From whose sister?
Asma' bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her and with her father).
"Bulugh al-Maram 8:109 Ahmad and Abu Dawud narrated it, and the wording is his, and al-Hakim graded it as authentic.
And Muslim narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said:Bulugh al-Maram 8:110 The hadith.":
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, regarding what she reported about the condition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his treatment of his wives: that he did not prefer some of them over others in the division of his stay. We have previously discussed whether the division was obligatory upon him or not obligatory, but rather he bound himself to it due to the perfection of his character?
There are two opinions among the scholars.
She said:Sunan Abi Dawud 2135Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani): Every day, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would visit his wives after the 'Asr prayer. He only visited them in order to maintain affection between them, because if he had not visited one of them except on her day, he would have been absent from her for how many days? Eight days or seven, after Sawdah gave her day to Aisha. And this could cause estrangement between them and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This is one reason.
And secondly: the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with them yields a legal benefit, such as teaching or reminding, or the like.
And thirdly: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to benefit them by his proximity to them, for it is a great gain that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) be in the house of one of them. So for the sake of these three causes or the three rulings, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave them every day after the 'Asr prayer.
But she said: meaning without sexual intercourse, but he would approach and kiss and touch, and the like, but not sexual intercourse.
Bulugh al-Maram 8:109 He would spend the night with Aisha after Sawdah gave her day. How many?
Two nights. He would spend two nights and go around them every day.

He said: "Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said:
O my nephew, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would not prefer some of us over others
يا ابن أختي كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يفضّل بعضنا على بعضO son of my sister
يا ابن أختيAsma' bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her and with her father).
"
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would not prefer some of us over others regarding the division of the time he would spend with us. It was very rare that he would not visit us all, and come near each of his wives without having intercourse with her, till he reached the one whose day it was, and spent the night with her.
كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يفضّل بعضنا على بعض في القسم من مكثه عندنا، وكان قلّ يوم إلا وهو يطوف علينا جميعا، فيدنو من كل امرأة من غير مسيس حتى يبلغ التي هو يومها فيبيت عندهاAnd Muslim narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said:
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the 'Asr (afternoon) prayer, he would visit his wives in turn, then come close to them (kiss or hug them).
