Abu Kamil and Affan narrated to us, they said: Hammad narrated to us, from Humayd, from Bakr ibn Abdullah, from Sa'd ibn Hisham, from Aisha, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with the like of it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the private part meets the private part, ghusl becomes obligatory.

Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Saib once asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "I can only pray while sitting, so what is your opinion?" She replied, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the reward for praying while sitting is half of the reward for praying while standing."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited (Qur'an) standing, he would also perform bowing (ruku') standing, and when he recited sitting, he would also perform bowing sitting.

Urwah says that once I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Allah Almighty has said: "Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever performs Hajj of the House or Umrah, there is no sin upon him if he walks between them." Does this mean that if a person does not perform Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, there is no sin upon him? Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied, "Nephew! You have said something incorrect. If the verse meant what you have stated, then the verse would have been: 'there is no sin upon him if he does not walk between them.' In fact, the reason for the revelation of this verse is that before accepting Islam, people used to enter into Ihram for 'Manat' and worshipped it near Mushall. And whoever entered into Ihram considered Sa'i between Safa and Marwah to be a sin. Then they asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), 'O Messenger of Allah! In the days of ignorance, people used to consider Sa'i between Safa and Marwah a sin. What is its ruling now?' Upon this, Allah revealed this verse, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) established the practice of Sa'i between Safa and Marwah through his Sunnah. Therefore, now it is not correct for anyone to leave Sa'i between Safa and Marwah."

Abdul Aziz bin Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Umm al-Mu'mineen Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) which surahs the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite in Witr.

Abdullah bin Shaqiq reports: I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the voluntary prayers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). She replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer long prayers both standing and sitting. When he prayed standing, he would also bow (ruku) standing, and when he prayed sitting, he would also bow sitting. Then I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the voluntary fasts of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). She said: Sometimes the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would fast so much that we would talk about it, and sometimes he would leave fasting to the extent that we would talk about it. And after coming to Madinah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fast the entire month in any month except Ramadan.

I was having a headache, so I said, "Oh, my head!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) jokingly said, "I wish that what is to happen would happen during my lifetime, so that I could prepare you well and bury you." I said, "You mean something else; you would spend the night as a bridegroom with another woman that very day." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to smile, and then the illness leading to his death began.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a woman came to her and said, "My daughter has recently gotten married, she has fallen ill and her hair is falling out.
