It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I said: O Messenger of Allah! When the Quraysh meet each other, they meet with cheerful faces, but when they meet us, they meet with indifference and frowning faces. Upon hearing this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became extremely angry and said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul, faith cannot settle in the heart of any person until he holds sincere love for you for the sake of Allah and His Messenger’s pleasure.

(Second Chain) Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When we go out, we see the Quraysh talking among themselves, but when they see us, they become silent. Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became so angry that sweat began to flow from between his eyes. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Allah! Faith cannot enter a man's heart until he loves you people for the sake of Allah and out of regard for my kinship with you.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was a servant bound by the command of Allah Almighty. By Allah! Whatever message was given to him from Allah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) conveyed it exactly as it was, and apart from three things, he did not give us any special command separate from the general Ummah: He (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to perform complete ablution, not to eat charity, and not to mate donkeys with mares. Musa bin Salim says that when I met Abdur Rahman bin Hasan, I said to him: Abdullah bin Ubaidullah bin Abbas narrated to me in this way, so he said that there were few horses among Banu Hashim and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted their number to increase, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from this act.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed the share of Khaybar among Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib, I (Jubair) and Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! These are Banu Hashim, their excellence cannot be denied, due to the status they have with you, which Allah Almighty has mentioned, but please consider that these, our brothers Banu Muttalib, you have given to them and left us out, while we and Banu Muttalib are at the same position with you (i.e., our degree of kinship with you is the same as theirs). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These people have not separated from me in the time of ignorance nor in Islam; Banu Hashim and Banu Muttalib are one and the same. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) interlaced his fingers.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut’im (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (gave something to the Banu Abd Manaf and) said: O Banu Abd Manaf! This is the best gift, and O Banu Abdul Muttalib! If you are granted authority and power, then do not prevent anyone at any hour of the day or night from performing Tawaf of the House of Allah (the Ka’bah).

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the command of veiling had already been revealed. After that, Sayyida Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) went out at night to relieve herself. She was quite large in stature and her height was considerable. On the way, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met her. When he saw her, he called out loudly: "Sawda! By Allah! When you come out, you cannot remain hidden from us. Now see how you should go out or what you should do." She returned from there. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was having his dinner at night. She came and informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of what Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had said and complained. The bone with meat was still in the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when revelation began to descend upon him. After the revelation ceased, the bone was still in his hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Now you have been permitted to go out of your house for your needs."

Narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to travel, he would draw lots among his wives, and the one in whose favor the lot was drawn, he would take her along. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to allocate the night and day for each of his wives, except for Sayyida Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her), because she had gifted her day and night to Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). The purpose of Sayyida Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) was to seek the pleasure of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Hisham narrates from his father (Urwah) that Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) stated that Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her), when she became elderly, gifted her turn to me, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give me the day that was allotted to her as well. After the marriage to Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), she was the first wife who entered the marriage of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
