Sahih al-Bukhari 2580

Aisha said that people used to time their gifts for her day. Umm Salama said that her co-wives had gathered and asked her to speak to the Messenger of Allah so he would tell people to give gifts to him wherever he was among his wives. Umm Salama spoke to him, but he gave her no reply. They asked her what he had said, and she said, “Nothing.” They urged her to speak again. When he came to her another time, she spoke to him, but he again gave no reply. They asked her, and she said, “He said nothing.” They urged her to keep speaking until he answered. When he came to her, she spoke to him, and he said, “Do not trouble me concerning Aisha, for revelation has not come to me while I was under any wife’s cover except Aisha’s.” She said, “Messenger of Allah, I repent to Allah for troubling you.” Then the women sent for Fatima, the Messenger of Allah’s daughter, and asked her to tell him, “Your wives implore you by Allah to be fair regarding the daughter of Abu Bakr.” Fatima spoke to him, and he said, “My daughter, do you not love what I love?” She replied, “Of course.” She returned and told them. They asked her to go back, but she refused. Then they sent Zaynab bint Jahsh. She came to him and spoke sharply, saying, “Your wives implore you by Allah to be fair regarding the daughter of Ibn Abi Quhafa.” She raised her voice and reproached Aisha, who was sitting there, insulting her. The Messenger of Allah was watching Aisha to see whether she would respond. Aisha did respond to Zaynab until she silenced her. The Prophet looked at Aisha and said, “She is the daughter of Abu Bakr.” Al-Bukhari noted that the final account about Fatima is also related through another chain. Abu Marwan reported from Hisham, from Urwa, that people used to time their gifts for Aisha’s day. Another chain reports that Aisha said, “I was with the Prophet when Fatima asked permission to enter.”
