It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that once the other noble wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent Hazrat Fatima to the Prophet (peace be upon him). She sought permission to enter the house, at that time the Prophet (peace be upon him) was with Hazrat Aisha under her sheet. The Prophet (peace be upon him) granted Hazrat Fatima permission to enter. She came in and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Your noble wives have sent me to you, they request justice from you regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Beloved daughter! Will you not love whom I love?" She replied, "Why not." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said regarding Hazrat Aisha, "Then love her as well." Hearing this, Hazrat Fatima stood up and left, and informed the noble wives about the conversation that took place between her and the Prophet (peace be upon him). Upon hearing this, they said, "You could not do anything for us. Go to the Prophet (peace be upon him) again." But Hazrat Fatima said, "By Allah, now I will not speak to him about this matter again." Then the noble wives sent Hazrat Zainab bint Jahsh. She sought permission, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) granted her permission as well. When she entered, she also said, "O Messenger of Allah! Your noble wives have sent me to you, they request justice from you regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah." Hazrat Aisha says that after this, she (Zainab) started attacking me (with taunts). I kept looking at the Prophet (peace be upon him) to see if he would permit me to respond. When I realized that if I responded to her, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would not mind, then I started responding to Zainab and did not leave her until I silenced her. The Prophet (peace be upon him) kept smiling during this, then said, "She too is the daughter of Abu Bakr."
