It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Hazrat Abu Hudhaifa had made Salim—who was a freed slave of an Ansari woman—his adopted son, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had made Zaid bin Haritha his adopted son. In the time of ignorance, people used to consider an adopted son as a real son and would even grant him the right of inheritance, until Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Call them by (the names of) their fathers; that is more just in the sight of Allah." In this context, one day Hazrat Sahla came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! We used to consider Salim our son; he lived with me and Abu Hudhaifa and would see matters of my privacy. Now Allah has revealed the command regarding adopted sons, which you also know." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give him five sips of your milk." After that, Salim became like her foster son. Because of this, whenever Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) deemed it appropriate to allow someone (even if he was of older age) to enter her house, she would have him suckled by her sister or niece, and then he would come and go in her house. But Hazrat Umm Salama and the other noble wives did not allow anyone to enter their homes through this fosterage, and they used to say to Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that, "We do not know; perhaps this concession was only for Salim."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the pure wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go out to open fields at night to relieve themselves. Once, Hazrat Sawda went out to relieve herself. Since she was tall and had a heavy build (people would recognize her), on the way she met Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He saw Hazrat Sawda and called out to her from a distance, "Sawda! We have recognized you," and he said this hoping that the command of hijab would be revealed. Consequently, the verse of hijab was revealed.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) declared the lizard to be harmful, but I did not hear him order the killing of the lizard.

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 a Jewish woman was sitting with me, and she was saying, "Do you know that you will be tested in your graves?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards us and said, "Only the Jews will be subjected to trial." After some time had passed, one day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Did you know that revelation has come to me that you will be tested in your graves?" After that, I always heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) seeking refuge from the punishment of the grave.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the brother of Abu Qais, "Aflah," sought permission from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) to enter the house. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) considered him a non-mahram and refused to grant permission. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came, she mentioned it to him, saying, "O Messenger of Allah! The brother of Abu Qais, Aflah, sought permission from me to enter the house, but I refused to grant him permission." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Allow him to enter." She said, "O Messenger of Allah! The woman breastfed me, not the man." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "May your hands be dusty! He is your uncle, allow him to enter."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once Barirah came to her; she was a mukatabah (a slave woman who had a contract for her freedom) and had come to request help in paying her contract amount. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) asked her, "Do your owners want to sell you? If they wish, I will pay your contract amount, but your wala (right of inheritance) will be mine." She went to her owners and mentioned this to them. They said, "Not unless she accepts the condition that your inheritance will go to us." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Buy her and set her free, for the wala (right of inheritance) belongs only to the one who sets the slave free." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and said, "What is wrong with people that they stipulate conditions which are not in the Book of Allah? Whoever stipulates a condition that is not permitted in the Book of Allah, it has no validity, even if he stipulates it a hundred times. The condition of Allah is more deserving and stronger."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would observe i'tikaf and would extend his head out from the mosque, and I, sitting in my room, would wash it while I was menstruating.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the Isha prayer, until Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) called out and said that the women and children have fallen asleep. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and said: "There is no one among the people of the earth at this time who is offering this prayer except you, and at this time, no one except the people of Madinah is offering this prayer." This was before the spread of Islam.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that in Makkah Mukarramah, the initial obligation of prayer was in the form of two rak'ahs each, except for Maghrib, which was three rak'ahs. Then Allah made Dhuhr and Isha complete in residence, and in travel, the initial obligation was maintained.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the freed slave woman of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Salma—who was the wife of the Prophet’s freed slave Abu Rafi’—came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that Abu Rafi’ had beaten her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Abu Rafi’,“O Abu Rafi’! Did you have a dispute with her?”Abu Rafi’ said,“O Messenger of Allah! She caused me distress.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Salma! What distress did you cause him?”Salma said,“O Messenger of Allah! I did not cause him any distress. However, while he was praying, his ablution broke, so I said to him, ‘O Abu Rafi’! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has commanded the Muslims that if anyone passes wind, he should perform ablution.’ Just on this matter, he stood up and started beating me.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to laugh at this and said,“O Abu Rafi’! She only told you something good.”
