It is narrated from Abu Qilabah that he narrates from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) came to his wives. At that time, a camel driver (singing the camel song) was driving their camels. His name was Anjasha. The Prophet said, "Anjasha! Goodness be to you. Drive these glass vessels gently." Abu Qilabah says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used a word that if any of you had used it, you would have considered it blameworthy. That is, he said to him, "Drive these glass vessels gently."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a neighbor who was from Persia, and he used to make a very good kind of soup. (In another narration, the words are that the soup he prepared was extremely delicious.) He prepared soup for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then came to invite him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And what about this one (i.e., Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her)? (Should I bring her along?)" He said: "No." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked again: "And this Aisha?" He said: "No." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked again: "And this Aisha?" This time he said: "Yes." After that, both of them happily went to his house.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say to her that the matter of the wives has made me concerned about you after me, and only those who are patient will be able to bear your words.

(Second chain) Abu Salamah narrates that Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) stated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) leaned over me with utmost affection and said: Of all the matters I will leave behind after me, the affair of my wives is the most important to me. By Allah! Those who show kindness to you will be elevated to the highest ranks of patience and truthfulness.

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was very fond of sweet things and honey. After performing the Asr prayer, he would visit his wives and go to them. Once, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) and stayed there a little longer than usual. When I inquired about the reason, I was told that a woman from Sayyida Hafsa’s tribe had gifted her a large jar of honey. She had given some of that honey to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to drink. I thought,“By Allah! We must make some plan regarding this.”So I mentioned this to Sayyida Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her). I said to her,“When the Messenger of Allah comes to you and draws near to you, say: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Did you eat Maghafir?’ If he says no, then you should say: ‘Then what is this smell coming from you?’ The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) could not bear that any kind of odor should come from him. He will say: ‘Hafsa gave me honey to drink.’ Then you should say: ‘Perhaps the honeybee sat on the Maghafir tree.’ When he comes to me, I will also say the same thing to him. And Safiyya, when the Messenger of Allah comes to you, you should also say the same to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).”

So when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Sayyida Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her), she narrates:“By the One in whose hand is my soul! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was still at the door when, out of fear of you, I was about to hastily say to him what you had told me.”In any case, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came, I said:“O Messenger of Allah! Did you eat Maghafir?”He said:“No.”I said:“Then what is this smell?”He said:“Hafsa gave me honey to drink.”I said:“Perhaps the honeybee sat on the Maghafir.”Similarly, when he came to me, I said the same thing. After that, when he went to Sayyida Safiyya (may Allah be pleased with her), she also said the same thing to him. Later, when he went to Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), she said:“O Messenger of Allah! Shall I not give you that honey to drink?”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“No, I have no need for it.”Sayyida Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) says:“Glory be to Allah! We have deprived him of that honey.”So I said to her:“Be quiet.”

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the iqamah for prayer had been pronounced or the time for the iqamah had come, when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was having a discussion with his wives, and he (peace be upon him) was trying to separate them from one another. In the meantime, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and said: O Messenger of Allah! Put dust in their mouths and proceed for the prayer.

It is narrated from Aswad, he says: I asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do at home. She said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) would help with the household work; when the time for prayer came, he would go for the prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I served the Noble Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for ten years. (In one narration, nine years are mentioned.) Whatever command the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me, and then if I was negligent or made a mistake in that matter, and if anyone from the household of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said anything harsh to me, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: Leave him alone, if it was destined to happen, it would have happened.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was given a white mule as a gift. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rode it, and Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) was leading it. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Recite. He said: O Messenger of Allah! What should I recite? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite {قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ}. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this surah until Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) recited it. But when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that I was not very pleased with this surah, he said: It seems you consider it insignificant. You have not recited a surah like this in prayer (meaning this is an unparalleled surah to be recited in prayer).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The lifting of the curtain is equivalent to granting you permission to come forward, and you are also authorized to listen to my confidential matters, until I prevent you from it. Abu Abdur Rahman said: The meaning of "Siwad" is secrets, that is, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had given them permission to listen to confidential matters.
