Sa’d bin Hisham says that once I presented myself before Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: O Mother of the Believers! Tell me about the character of the Prophet (peace be upon him). She replied: The character of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was the Qur’an itself. Do you not read the Qur’an? Allah the Exalted says: «وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ» [سورۃ القلم، آیت 4] I said: I wish to become a recluse. She said: Do not do so. Do you not read in the Noble Qur’an: «لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ» [سورۃ الأحزاب، آیت 21] There is indeed for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also married and had children.

Hazrat Aisha says that if the Prophet (peace be upon him) had seen the condition of the women of today, he would surely have forbidden them from coming to the mosques, just as the women of Bani Israel were forbidden.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that the scene is still before my eyes when I used to braid the collars of the sacrificial animals, that is, goats, of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Even after that, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would not refrain from anything (from which a person in the state of Ihram abstains).

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that there are some supplications which the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to say frequently: "O Turner of the hearts! Keep my heart firm upon Your religion." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Why do you often make these supplications?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The heart of a person is between two fingers of Allah the Almighty; if He wills, He turns it aside, and if He wills, He keeps it straight."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, whoever is called to account will be punished. I said: Did Allah Almighty not say, "Soon an easy reckoning will be taken"? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: That will not be an actual reckoning; that will be a mere presentation. And whoever is debated with regarding the reckoning on the Day of Resurrection, he will be seized by punishment.

Ibn Qurayzah Sadfi says that I asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Would the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lie down with you even during your menstrual period?" She replied, "Yes, when I would tie my lower garment, because at that time we had only one bed. And when Allah Almighty gave me another bed, I would separate myself."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Among the signs of a woman's blessedness is that her marriage is made easy and her dowry is light.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that when the Prophet (peace be upon him) intended to sleep in a state requiring ghusl, he would perform ablution as for prayer, and he said that whoever wishes to sleep in a state requiring ghusl should perform ablution as for prayer.

Once, in the presence of Hazrat Aisha, some people were mentioned who would recite the Qur'an once or twice in a single night. Hazrat Aisha said that for such people, reciting or not reciting is the same. I used to spend the whole night in prayer with the Prophet (peace be upon him), and even then, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would only be able to recite Surah Al-Imran and Surah An-Nisa, because whenever the Prophet (peace be upon him) would come across a verse that contained a warning, he would seek refuge with Allah and supplicate, and whenever he would come across a verse containing glad tidings, he would supplicate to Allah and express his desire for it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that a woman asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) if a woman sees a "dream" and observes the effects of "water," should she also perform ghusl (ritual bath)? The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: Yes! Hazrat Aisha said to that woman, "May your hands be dusted" (does a woman also experience such a condition?). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to her, "Leave her, the resemblance of the child to its parents is due to this: if the woman's 'water' prevails over the man's 'water,' the child resembles her maternal relatives, and if the man's 'water' prevails over the woman's, the child resembles him."
