Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 559
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: أَرْسَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاطِمَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَعَ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فِي مِرْطِهَا، فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَدَخَلَتْ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَكَ أَرْسَلْنَنِي يَسْأَلْنَكَ الْعَدْلَ فِي بِنْتِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، قَالَ: أَيْ بُنَيَّةُ، أَتُحِبِّينَ مَا أُحِبُّ؟ قَالَتْ: بَلَى، قَالَ: فَأَحِبِّي هَذِهِ، فَقَامَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ فَحَدَّثَتْهُمْ، فَقُلْنَ: مَا أَغْنَيْتِ عَنَّا شَيْئًا فَارْجِعِي إِلَيْهِ، قَالَتْ: وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُكَلِّمُهُ فِيهَا أَبَدًا. فَأَرْسَلْنَ زَيْنَبَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَاسْتَأْذَنَتْ، فَأَذِنَ لَهَا، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ، وَوَقَعَتْ فِيَّ زَيْنَبُ تَسُبُّنِي، فَطَفِقْتُ أَنْظُرُ: هَلْ يَأْذَنُ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ حَتَّى عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَنْتَصِرَ، فَوَقَعْتُ بِزَيْنَبَ، فَلَمْ أَنْشَبْ أَنْ أَثْخَنْتُهَا غَلَبَةً، فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ.
al-Hakam ibn Nafi‘ narrated to us; he said: Shu‘ayb ibn Abi Hamzah informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham informed me that ‘A’ishah said: The wives of the Prophet ﷺ sent Fatimah to the Prophet ﷺ. She asked permission to enter while the Prophet ﷺ was with ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, beneath her woolen wrap. He gave her permission, and she entered. She said, “Your wives have sent me to ask you to be fair regarding the daughter of Abu Quhafah.” He said, “My dear daughter, do you love what I love?” She said, “Yes.” He said, “Then love this one.” She stood up, left, and told them what had happened. They said, “You have done nothing for us; go back to him.” She said, “By Allah, I will never speak to him about her again.” Then they sent Zaynab, the Prophet’s wife. She asked permission and was admitted, then said the same to him. Zaynab began insulting me, and I watched to see whether the Prophet ﷺ would permit me to respond. I kept watching until I realized that the Prophet ﷺ did not dislike my defending myself. So I answered Zaynab, and before long I had overcome her in the exchange. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled, then said, “Indeed, she is the daughter of Abu Bakr.”
Translation notes
فَقَامَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ فَحَدَّثَتْهُمْ،
The English witness stops after the Prophet tells Fatimah to love ‘A’ishah; the Arabic continues with the wives’ response, Zaynab’s visit and exchange with ‘A’ishah, and the Prophet’s closing remark.
Should the complete Arabic continuation be kept in the translated text?
