It is narrated from Urwah bin Zubair that Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) was asked: What kind of work did the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do when he came home? (That is, what was his occupation at home?) She said: (When the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came home, he used to do the same kind of work) as you do, for example, he would mend his own shoes and sew his own clothes.
