حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ قَيْسٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُقْتَحَمَ عَلَىَّ . فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتَحَوَّلَ .

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated to us, from Hisham ibn ʿUrwah, from his father, from ʿAishah, who said: Fatimah bint Qays said, ‘Messenger of Allah, I fear that someone may break in on me.’ So he instructed her to move.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The verb يُقْتَحَمَ conveys an unwanted forceful entry; the text does not specify who might enter.
قَالَتْ قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ قَيْسٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُقْتَحَمَ عَلَىَّ .
The passive phrase أَنْ يُقْتَحَمَ عَلَيَّ indicates someone may force entry upon her, but no potential intruder is identified.
Does ‘someone may break in on me’ preserve the passive and the unspecified agent?
