Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَعَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ إِنْ كُنْتُ لأَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ لِلْحَاجَةِ وَالْمَرِيضُ فِيهِ فَمَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ إِلاَّ وَأَنَا مَارَّةٌ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْبَيْتَ إِلاَّ لِحَاجَةٍ إِذَا كَانُوا مُعْتَكِفِينَ ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Rumh narrated to us; al-Layth ibn Sa‘d informed us, from Ibn Shihab, from Urwah ibn al-Zubayr and Amrah bint Abd al-Rahman, that Aishah said: I would enter the house to attend to a need while the sick person was inside, and I would ask about him only as I passed by. She said: When they were observing i‘tikaf, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would not enter the house except to attend to a need.
