The purified wife of the Noble Prophet, Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), narrated that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was commanded to give his wives the choice, he came to me and said, "I have come to speak to you about a matter. There is no need for you to hurry; you may consult your parents as well." She narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) already knew that my parents would never advise me to separate from him. Lady Aisha narrated that then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has said: O Prophet, say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and release you with kindness. But if you desire Allah, His Messenger, and the home of the Hereafter, then surely Allah has prepared a great reward for those of you who do good." Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that I said, "Why would I need to consult my parents about this? Clearly, I desire Allah, His Messenger, and the home of the Hereafter." She narrated that then the other purified wives also said the same as I had said.
