Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I used to feel jealous of those women who would offer themselves to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and I would say, "What is this matter that a woman offers herself?" Then when Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: "You may defer (the turn of) any of them (your wives) that you please, and you may take to yourself any that you please; and if you desire any of those whom you have set aside, there is no blame on you," I said to the Prophet (peace be upon him), "I see that your Lord hastens to fulfill your wishes."

Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Regarding this verse, "You have the option to keep away from whom you will of them (your wives), and you may take to yourself whom you will, and if you desire any whom you have set aside, there is no blame on you" (Al-Ahzab: 51), after its revelation, whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wished to go to another wife on the turn of one, he would seek permission from the one whose turn it was. So I used to say, "O Messenger of Allah, if you ask me, then because of my love for you, I do not like you to go to anyone else."

Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that after the command of veiling was revealed, Umm al-Mu’minin Sawda (may Allah be pleased with her) went out (wrapped in a sheet or similar covering) for a need. She was a woman of heavy build; whoever had recognized her before would still recognize her now. Anyway, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw her and said,“O Sawda! By Allah! You are still not hidden from us; just see in what state you have come out.”Hearing this, she returned, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was eating dinner in my house and had a bone in his hand. So she came inside and said,“O Messenger of Allah! I had gone out for a need, but Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said such and such things.”(Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa, may Allah be pleased with her, says:) At that very moment, revelation began to come, then the state of revelation ceased, and the bone was still in the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); he had not yet put it down. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Indeed, you (women) have been permitted to go out for your needs (work, etc.).”

Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that after the command of veiling was revealed, Aflaḥ, the brother of Abu Qu‘ays, sought permission to come to me. I said,“I do not give permission until I ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), because neither Aflaḥ nor his brother Abu Qu‘ays (who was my foster father) had nursed me, rather it was the wife of Abu Qu‘ays who had nursed me.”When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came, I said,“O Messenger of Allah! Aflaḥ, the brother of Abu Qu‘ays, sought permission to enter upon me, but I did not give him permission without asking you first (what is the ruling?).”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Why did you not give him permission? He is your uncle.”I said,“O Messenger of Allah! That man, Abu Qu‘ays, did not nurse me; it was the wife of Abu Qu‘ays who nursed me.”He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Give him permission, for he is your uncle. May your hand be covered in dust.”

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him): We said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! We know how to send Salam upon you, but how should we send Salat upon you?" He (peace be upon him) said: "Say: O Allah! Send mercy upon Muhammad (peace be upon him), Your servant and Messenger, as You sent mercy upon Ibrahim (peace be upon him). And send blessings upon Muhammad (peace be upon him) and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim (peace be upon him)."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that (the Companions) said,“O Messenger of Allah! We have learned how to send peace upon you (i.e., it is recited in at-Tahiyyat), but how should we send blessings (salat) upon you?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Say: O Allah! Send mercy upon Muhammad (peace be upon him) and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent mercy upon the family of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. (And) O Allah! Send blessings upon Muhammad (peace be upon him) and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious.”

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Moses (peace be upon him) was a very modest man (he was shy and would not bathe in front of others, so people accused him of impotence), and this is mentioned in the verse: 'O you who believe! Be not like those who annoyed Moses (peace be upon him), but Allah cleared him of that which they alleged, and he was honorable in Allah's sight.'”(Al-Ahzab: 69)
