'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Sauda (the wife of the Holy Prophet) who was bulky sought the permission of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on the night of Muzdalifa to move from (that place) ahead of him and before the multitude (set forth). He (Allah's Apostle) ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) gave her the permission. So she set forth before his (Holy Prophet's) departure. But we stayed there until it was dawn and we moved on when he departed. And if I were to seek the permission of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as Sauda had sought permission, I could have also gone with his permission and it would have been better for me than that for which I was happy.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that (hadrat) Sauda was a bulky lady, so she sought permission from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to proceed from Muzdalifa (to Mina) in the (latter part of the) night. He granted her permission. 'A'isha said: I wish I had also sought permission from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as Sauda had sought permission from him. 'A'isha did not proceed but with the Imam.

'A'isha said: I wish I had sought permission from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as Sauda had sought, and observed the dawn prayer at Mina and stoned at al-Jamra before the people had come there. It was said to 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her): Did Sauda seek permission from him (the Holy Prophet)? She said: Yes. She was a bulky lady and so she sought permission from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (to proceed to Mina from Muzdalifa ahead of him), and he granted her permission.

A hadith like this has been narrated by 'Abdul Rahman bin al-Qasim with the same chain of transmitters.

Abdullah, the freed slave of (Hadrat) Asma', reported: Asma' (Allah be pleased with her), as she was in the house at Muzdalifa, asked me whether the moon had set. I said: No. She prayed for some time, and again said: My son has the moon set? I said: Yes. And she said: Set forth along with me, and so we set forth until (we reached Mina) and the stoned at al-Jamra. She then prayed in her place. I said to her: Respected lady, we set forth (in the very early part of dawn) when it was dark, whereupon she said: My son, there is no harm in it; Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had granted permission to women. This hadith has been narrated by Ibn Juraij with the same chain of transmitters, and In his narration (the words are): "She (Asma') said: My son, Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) granted permission to women."
