The reciter: And Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated to us, and Ruh ibn 'Ubadah narrated to us, and Zakariyya ibn Ishaq narrated to us, and Abu al-Zubayr narrated to us from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah, who said: دخل أبو بكر يستأذن على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فوجد الناس جلوسا ببابه لم يؤذن لأحد منهم، قال فأذن لأبي بكر فدخل ثم أقبل عمر فاستأذن فأذن له فوجد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم جالسا، حوله نساؤه واجما ساكتا قال فقال لأقولن شيئا أضحك النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال يا رسول الله لو رأيت بنت خارجة سألتني النفقة فقمت إليها فوجأت عنقها فضحك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقال: هن حولي كما ترى يسألنني النفقة فقام أبو بكر إلى عائشة يجأ عنقها فقام عمر إلى حفصة يجأ عنقها كلاهما يقول: تسألن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما ليس عنده فقلن والله لا نسأل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم شيئا أبدا ليس عنده ثم اعتزلهن شهرا أو تسعا وعشرين ثم نزلت عليه هذه الآية يا أيها النبي قل لأزواجك حتى بلغ للمحسنات منكن أجرا عظيما قال فبدأ بعائشة فقال: يا عائشة إني أريد أن أعرض عليك أمرا أحب أن لا تعجلي فيه حتى تستشيري أبويك، قالت وما هو يا رسول الله؟ فتلا عليها الآية قالت أفيك يا رسول الله أستشير أبوي بل أختار الله ورسوله والدار الآخرة وأسألك أن لا تخبر امرأة من نسائك بالذي قلت قال: لا تسألني امرأة منهن إلا أخبرتها إن الله لم يبعثني معنتا ولا متعنتا ولكن بعثني معلما ميسرا Abu Bakr came to seek permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he found the people sitting at his door, and permission had not been granted to any of them. He said: So he granted permission to Abu Bakr, and he entered. Then 'Umar came and sought permission, and it was granted to him. He found the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sitting, with his women around him, silent and quiet. He said: I will say something to make the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laugh. He said: O Messenger of Allah, if you had seen the daughter of Khawaja asking me for maintenance, I stood up to her and squeezed her neck, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed and said: They are around me as you see, asking me for maintenance. So Abu Bakr stood up to 'A'ishah and squeezed her neck, and 'Umar stood up to Hafsa and squeezed her neck, each of them saying: Do you ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for what he does not have? They said: By Allah, we will never ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything he does not have. Then he kept away from them for a month or twenty-nine days. Then this verse was revealed to him: "O Prophet, say to your wives..." until it reached: "And for those of you who do good, there will be a great reward." He said: So he began with 'A'ishah and said: O 'A'ishah, I want to present to you a matter, and I would like you not to be hasty in it until you consult your parents. She said: What is it, O Messenger of Allah? So he recited the verse to her. She said: Do I consult my parents in you, O Messenger of Allah? Rather, I choose Allah and His Messenger and the Hereafter, and I ask you not to inform any of your wives of what I said. He said: No woman of them will ask me but I will inform her. Indeed, Allah did not send me as one who causes difficulty or is difficult, but He sent me as a teacher who makes things easy..
