Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the door of my chamber, while the Abyssinians were playing with their war weapons, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was screening me with his cloak so that I could watch their play. Then he would stand there until I myself would turn away.
