Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to criticize those women who would present themselves before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and her opinion was that a woman should feel ashamed to present herself without a dowry. Upon this, the verse was revealed: "You may defer whom you wish of them and take to yourself whom you wish." So Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "I see that your Lord hastens to fulfill your desires."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once Hazrat Harith bin Hisham (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "How does revelation come to you?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Sometimes revelation comes to me with a sound like the ringing of a bell; this form is the hardest upon me, but when this state departs from me, I have understood the divine message. And sometimes the angel comes to me in the form of a man and speaks to me, and I remember what he says."

Narrated to us 'Amir ibn Salih az-Zubayri, he narrated to me Hisham ibn 'Urwah, from his father, from Aisha, from al-Harith ibn Hisham, that he asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he mentioned something similar to it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once a man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and sought permission to enter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allow him to enter; he is a very bad man of his tribe." When he entered, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to him gently. When he left, another man sought permission to enter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He is a very good man of his tribe." But when he entered, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pay attention to him cheerfully as he had done with the first one. When he left, Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) submitted, "Earlier you said such and such about him, then you also spoke to him gently, and you did not do the same with the other man?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Aisha! The worst person in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be the one whom people leave alone to avoid his foul language."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, and I sensed from the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that there was some distress in his mood. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution and left without speaking to anyone. I went near the chambers and listened, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: O people! Allah Almighty says: Enjoin good and forbid evil before the time comes when you call upon Me and I do not accept your prayers, you ask of Me and I do not grant you anything, and you seek help from Me and I do not help you.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in prayer and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the row.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that during his final illness, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat and performed prayer behind Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said during his final illness: "Order Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr is a soft-hearted man; he will not be able to control his tears and the people will not be able to hear his voice." But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." When I repeated (my request), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the same order and said, "You are like the women who were infatuated with Yusuf (Joseph) (who concealed something in their hearts and expressed something else with their tongues)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Whoever is given a share of gentleness, has been given a share of goodness in this world and the Hereafter. And maintaining ties of kinship, good character, and good neighborliness populate cities and are a cause of increase in lifespan.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The superiority of Aisha over all women is like the superiority of Tharid over all foods.
