Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، وَعَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ وَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيُدْخِلُ عَلَىَّ رَأْسَهُ وَهْوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأُرَجِّلُهُ، وَكَانَ لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلاَّ لِحَاجَةٍ، إِذَا كَانَ مُعْتَكِفًا

Translation

Qutaybah related to us: al-Layth related to us, from Ibn Shihāb, from ʿUrwah and ʿAmrah bint ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, that ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace), said: The Messenger of Allah would put his head toward me while he was in the mosque, and I would comb it. When he was observing iʿtikāf, he would not enter the house except for a need.
