Abu Khalaf, who was a freed slave of Banu Jumah, says that he was present with Ubaid bin Umair in the service of Ummul Momineen Hazrat Aisha Siddiqa, who was near the spring of Zamzam, and at that time there was no shade anywhere else in the entire mosque except there. She said, "Abu Asim," meaning Ubaid bin Umair, "welcome! Why do you not come to meet us?" He replied, "Out of fear that you might become weary." She said, "You should not do so." Ubaid said, "At this time I have come to you to ask about a verse—how did the Prophet (peace be upon him) recite it?" She said, "Which verse?" Ubaid said, "Is the verse like this: الَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا أَتَوْا or like this: الَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ مَا أَتَوْا?" She asked, "Which of these two recitations do you prefer?" Ubaid replied, "By Him in whose hand is my soul, I prefer one of these recitations more than the whole world and whatever is in it." She asked, "Which one is that?" Ubaid replied, "الذین یاتون ما اتوا." She said, "I bear witness that the Prophet (peace be upon him) also recited this verse in this way, and in this way the verse was revealed. But in spelling, both are the same letter (their root is the same)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that sometimes when the Prophet (peace be upon him) would pray at night, I would be lying on his right or left side.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that once the Prophet (peace be upon him) went to relieve himself, and Hazrat Umar stood behind him with a bowl of water. After finishing, the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, "Umar! What is this?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah! This is water for your ablution." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "I have not been commanded that I must perform ablution every time I urinate, because if I start doing so, this act will become Sunnah."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The prohibition of fosterage is not established by sucking milk from a woman's breast once or twice.

Urwah bin Zubair narrates that Hazrat Aisha said to me, "Nephew! The Prophet (peace be upon him) never omitted the two rak'ahs after Asr in my presence."

Muhammad says that once Hazrat Aisha stayed at the house of Safiyyah Umm Talhah al-Talhat, and she saw that some girls, though having reached puberty, were praying without head coverings. So Hazrat Aisha said, "No girl should pray without a head covering." Once, the Prophet (peace be upon him) came to my house, and at that time there was a girl under my care. The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave me a sheet and said, "Divide it into two parts and distribute it between this girl and the girl under the care of Umm Salamah, because in my opinion, both of them have reached puberty."

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 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 that when the Prophet (peace be upon him) intended to perform ghusl after janabah, he would first wash both his hands three times, then take the vessel with his right hand and pour water onto his left hand, then wash his private parts thoroughly, then wash that hand thoroughly, rinse his mouth three times, put water into his nose three times, wash his face three times, wash his hands three times, pour water over his head three times, then pour water over the rest of his body, and then move from that place and wash his feet.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade nabidh (fermented drink) made in earthen pots.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that a Jew from Banu Zuraiq, whose name was Labeed bin A'sam, cast magic upon the Prophet (peace be upon him), as a result of which the Prophet (peace be upon him) would think that he had done a certain thing, although he had not done it. One day, the Prophet (peace be upon him) prayed for a long time, then said, "Aisha! Whatever I asked Allah, He has informed me about it. Two men came to me; one sat by my head and the other by my feet. Then the one sitting by my head said to the one sitting by my feet, or vice versa, 'What is the ailment of this man?' The other replied, 'He has been bewitched.' He asked, 'Who has done the magic?' The other replied, 'Labeed bin A'sam.' He asked, 'In what things was the magic done?' The other replied, 'In a comb and the hair that falls from it, and in the cover of a male date palm's cluster.' He asked, 'Where are these things now?' The other replied, 'In the well named "Aruwan".' After seeing this dream, the Prophet (peace be upon him) went to that well with some of his companions, and after returning, told Hazrat Aisha, 'O Aisha! The water of that well looked as if it was the color of henna, and the trees near it looked like the heads of devils.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Why did you not set it on fire?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'No, Allah has granted me well-being, and now I do not like to spread evil and mischief among the people.' Thus, at the command of the Prophet (peace be upon him), all those things were buried.
