حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنَا عَائِشَةُ بِنْتُ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ نَغْزُوا وَنُجَاهِدُ مَعَكُمْ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَكُنَّ أَحْسَنُ الْجِهَادِ وَأَجْمَلُهُ الْحَجُّ، حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ ‏" ‏‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَلاَ أَدَعُ الْحَجَّ بَعْدَ إِذْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏

Translation

Musaddad narrated to us; Abd al-Wahid narrated to us; Habib ibn Abi Amra narrated to us, saying: Aisha bint Talha reported to us, from Aisha, Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: I said: Messenger of Allah, should we not go on military expeditions and strive alongside you? He replied: For you women, the best and finest striving is Hajj — an accepted Hajj. Aisha said: I will never give up Hajj after hearing this from the Messenger of Allah.
