It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that during the blessed month of Ramadan, people used to pray in the Prophet’s Mosque at night in different groups. Whoever knew a little bit of the Qur’an, about six people would stand with him and pray with him. One day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to spread a mat at the door of the chamber, so I did so. After the ‘Isha prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out of the house in the middle of the night and started praying in the mosque. People gathered and joined the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in prayer. In the morning, people mentioned to each other that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had come out of his house at midnight and prayed in the mosque. So, the next night, more people gathered than before. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out as usual and started praying, and people joined him. The same happened on the third night. On the fourth night, so many people gathered that there was no room left in the mosque for anyone else to come, but that night the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained in the house and did not come out, until I heard some people saying,“Prayer! Prayer!”But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not come out. Then, when he led the Fajr prayer, after finishing the prayer he stood among the people, testified to the Oneness of Allah and the Messengership, and after saying“Amma ba’du”said:“Your condition tonight was not hidden from me, but I feared that this prayer might become obligatory upon you and then you would be unable to perform it. Therefore, do as much as you are able, for Allah will not tire, but you will surely tire.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the wife of Hazrat Uthman bin Maz'oon, Khawla bint Hakim, used to apply henna and smell of fragrance, but suddenly she abandoned all these things. One day she came to me in a disheveled state, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Aisha! Why is Khawla in this bad condition?" I replied, "O Messenger of Allah! She is like a woman who has no husband, because her husband fasts all day and prays all night, so she is as if she has no husband. That is why she has left herself in this state." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met him and said, "O Uthman! Are you turning away from my Sunnah?" He replied, "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah! I am seeking your Sunnah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then I sleep and I pray, I fast and I break my fast, and I marry women. Therefore, O Uthman! Fear Allah, for your family, your guests, and even your own self have rights over you. So fast and also break your fast, pray and also sleep."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once a woman named Hawla bint Tuwait passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Someone informed him, "O Messenger of Allah! This woman prays all night, and when she becomes overcome by sleep, she ties a rope and hangs from it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "She should pray as long as she has strength, and when she becomes drowsy, she should sleep."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that I did not see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fasting in any month as much as I saw him fasting in Sha'ban. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast almost the entire month, leaving only a few days.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No one should be prevented from using water that is in excess of need or water remaining in a well.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought one or several camels from a Bedouin and set the price as one wasq of stored dates (ajwa), and then proceeded towards his house. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) searched for the dates there but could not find them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to him and said, "O servant of Allah! I have bought camels from you in exchange for one wasq of stored dates, but I do not have the dates at this time." The Bedouin said, "Alas! I have been deceived." The people scolded him and said, "May Allah's curse be upon you, would the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) deceive?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Leave him, for the rightful person can speak his claim." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated his statement two or three times, and each time the Bedouin said the same, and the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) scolded him. Finally, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that he was not understanding, he said to one of his Companions, "Go to Khawla bint Hakim and say to her that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says, 'If you have one wasq of stored dates, lend them to us, we will return them to you in full, InshaAllah.'" The Companion went, then returned and informed that she says, "O Messenger of Allah! I have the dates, send someone to take them." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Take him and give him the full amount." The Companion took the Bedouin and gave him the full dates. Later, that Bedouin passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who was sitting with the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), and he said, "Jazak Allahu Khairan, you have paid in full and paid excellently." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "On the Day of Resurrection, the best servants in the sight of Allah will be those who fulfill and pay in the best manner."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that there was an Ansari girl under my care. I arranged her marriage. On the day of her wedding, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and did not hear any sounds of play or amusement. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Aisha! The Ansar tribe likes such and such thing."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to set out on a journey, he would draw lots among his noble wives, and whichever of them had her name drawn, he would take her along with him on the journey.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that one day Hazrat Sahla came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! We used to consider Salim as our son; he lived with me and Abu Hudhaifa and saw matters of my privacy. Now Allah has revealed the command regarding adopted sons, which you also know, and because of this I now see signs of displeasure on Abu Hudhaifa's face." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give him ten sips of your milk." Thus, after that, Salim became like their foster son. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) understood from this hadith that this command is general for all Muslims, while the other noble wives considered it specific to Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the verse of stoning was revealed, and the verse regarding the proof of suckling by ten sucklings for an adult man was also revealed, which was written on a paper and placed under my bed in my house. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) fell ill and we became occupied with him, a goat came and ate it. Benefit: Every sensible person can understand that this hadith is fabricated and invented.
