It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that I did not feel as much jealousy towards any woman as I felt towards Hazrat Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her). She had passed away three years before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married me, and the reason for this jealousy was that I used to hear the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mention her frequently. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was commanded by his Lord to give Hazrat Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) the glad tidings of a magnificent house made of wood in Paradise. And sometimes, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slaughtered a goat, he would send it as a gift to the friends of Hazrat Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her).

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that on the day of the conquest of Makkah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah from the upper part, and during Umrah, he entered from the lower part.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that one night I became very frightened when I did not find the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on my bed. I reached out my hand to feel, and my hand struck the feet of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who was standing. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of prostration and was supplicating: "O Allah! I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your displeasure, in Your pardon from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot encompass praise of You; You are as You have praised Yourself."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the news of the martyrdom of Hazrat Zaid bin Harithah and Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with them) came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down on the ground and signs of grief were visible on his blessed face. I was peeking through a hole in the door when a man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! The women of Ja'far are weeping." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told him, "Forbid them." The man went and after a short while returned and said, "I have forbidden them but they do not listen to me." This happened three times. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Go and fill their mouths with dust." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him, "May Allah fill your face with dust! By Allah, neither do you do what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commands you, nor do you leave them alone."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the state of fasting would join his body with hers and would place a cloth as a barrier between himself and her.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that it was said: The part of the lower garment which hangs below the ankles will be in Hell.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) loved sweet things and honey, and it was the habit of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that after the Asr prayer, he would visit all his pure wives and grant them his closeness. One day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Hazrat Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) and stayed with her longer than usual. When I inquired about this, I found out that a woman from Hafsa’s tribe had gifted her a vessel of honey, and she had given the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that honey to drink (which caused the delay). I thought to myself, "By Allah, I will devise a plan." So I mentioned this incident to Hazrat Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) and told her to say, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) comes to you and is near you, "O Messenger of Allah! Did you eat Maghafir (a particular kind of gum with a bad smell)?" He will say, "No." You should say, "Then what is this odor coming from your mouth?" Since the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) greatly disliked bad smells, he would say, "Hafsa gave me honey to drink." You should say, "Perhaps the honeybee sat on the tree of Maghafir." I will say the same to him, and Safiyyah, you should also say the same. So when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Hazrat Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her), she says, "By the One besides whom there is no deity, out of fear of you, I was about to say this even when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was still at the door." Anyway, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came near, I said exactly what was planned, and the same questions and answers took place. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says, "When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, I also said the same, then he went to Hazrat Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she also said the same. Then when he went to Hazrat Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) and she said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Shall I not give you some honey to drink?' the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, 'I do not feel like it.' Upon this, Hazrat Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) said, 'SubhanAllah! By Allah, we have made the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) give up honey.' I said to her, 'You should remain silent.'"

Narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when people began to gossip about me, of which I had no knowledge, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to deliver a sermon. He testified to the two declarations of faith, praised and glorified Allah as is His due, and after saying "Amma ba'd" (to proceed), he said: "Advise me regarding those people who have accused my family. By Allah, I know nothing but good about my family, and regarding the person with whom people have accused them, by Allah, I know nothing but good about him as well. Whenever he entered my house, he did so only in my presence, and whenever I went on a journey, he accompanied me." Upon hearing this, Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Our opinion is that you should have the necks of these people struck." Then a man from the tribe of Khazraj stood up—Umm Hassan bin Thabit was among his group—and said, "You are wrong. If these people were from the tribe of Aws, you would never like their necks to be struck." It was close that a fight would break out between the two groups in the mosque.

Anyway, that same evening I went out to relieve myself, accompanied by Umm Mistah. On the way, her foot got entangled in her cloak and she fell. From her mouth came the words, "Mistah is ruined!" I said to her, "Why are you speaking ill of your son?" She remained silent. This happened three times. Finally, she said, "I am speaking ill of him only because of you." I asked her for details, and she told me the whole story. I asked, "Has this really happened?" She said, "Yes!" When I returned home and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and greeted me and inquired about my condition, I said, "If you permit, may I go to my parents' house?" Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says, "My purpose in going there was to find out the truth from my parents." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me permission. I went to my mother and asked, "Mother, what are people talking about?" My mother said, "Daughter, you should not worry. By Allah, it often happens that a woman who is beautiful and beloved to her husband, and who has co-wives, her co-wives always find faults in her." SubhanAllah! I asked her, "Does father know about this?" She said, "Yes!" I asked, "And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) too?" She said, "Yes!" At this, tears came to my eyes and I began to weep. My father, who was reciting (Qur'an) upstairs, heard my voice and came down and asked my mother, "What has happened to her?" She replied, "She has also come to know of the incident, so she is crying." He said, "Daughter! I ask you by Allah, return to your home." So I went back. Shortly after, both of them came to me and stayed with me until after Asr, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came after the Asr prayer. My parents were on my right and left. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down, recited the testimony of faith, and after praising and glorifying Allah, said: "Aisha! I have heard such and such things about you. If you are innocent, then soon Allah will declare your innocence. And if you have committed a sin, then seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him, for when a servant confesses his sin and repents, Allah accepts his repentance and forgives his sin." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished speaking, my tears stopped completely and not a single drop came out. I said to my father, "Please answer the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on my behalf." My father said, "By Allah, I do not know what to say." I said to my mother, "You answer." She said, "By Allah, I do not know what to say." Although I was a young girl and had not read much of the Qur'an, I said, "By Allah, I know that you have heard this and it has settled in your hearts and you have believed it to be true. So if I declare myself innocent before you, you will not believe me, and if I confess to a sin I have not committed (and Allah is witness that I am innocent), you will consider me truthful. By Allah, I find no example for myself and you except that of Hazrat Yaqub (Jacob) (peace be upon him), who said: 'So patience is most fitting, and Allah is the one sought for help against that which you describe.'" At that very moment, revelation came upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his usual state, until pearls of sweat appeared on his blessed face...

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say to me, "When you are angry with me, I come to know of your anger, and when you are pleased, I come to know of that as well." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! How do you come to know of this?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When you are angry, you say 'No, by the Lord of Muhammad,' and when you are pleased, you say 'No, by the Lord of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).'" I said, "You speak the truth, but by Allah, I only leave out your name (there is nothing in my heart)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that if the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded people to do something within their capacity, and they would say, "O Messenger of Allah! We are not like you; Allah Almighty has forgiven all your past and future sins," then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would become displeased, and signs of anger would appear on his blessed face, and he would say, "I am the most knowledgeable of Allah among you and the most fearful of Him among you."
