Asma bint Yazid bin Sakan, one of the women of the Banu Abd al-Ashhal, reported that someone entered upon her one day, and she brought him food. He said, "I have no appetite for it."She said, "I was the one who adorned Ayesha as a bride for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then I came to him and invited him to view her unveiling. He came and sat beside her. A large cup of milk was brought, and he drank from it, then handed it to her. She lowered her head and felt shy."Asma continued, "I scolded her and said to her, 'Take it from the hand of the Prophet ﷺ.' So she took it and drank a little. Then the Prophet ﷺ said to her, 'Give it to your companion.'"Asma said, "I said, 'Messenger of Allah, rather take it yourself, drink from it, then hand it to me from your hand.' So he took it, drank from it, and then handed it to me."She said, "I sat down, placed it on my knee, and began turning it around, following it with my lips so I might touch the spot from which the Prophet ﷺ had drunk. Then he said to some women who were with me, 'Pass it to them.'They said, 'We have no appetite for it.'The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Do not combine hunger with lying. Will you stop saying, "I have no appetite"?'"She said, "I said, 'Yes, my dear, I will never do it again.'"
أن أسماء بنت يزيد بن السكن إحدى نساء بني عبد الأشهل دخل عليها يوما، فقربت إليه طعاما، فقال: لا أشتهيه، فقالت إني قينت عائشة لرسول الله ﷺ، ثم جئته، فدعوته لجلوتها، فجاء، فجلس إلى جنبها، فأتي بعس لبن، فشرب، ثم ناولها النبي ﷺ، فخفضت رأسها، واستحيت، قالت أسماء: فانتهرتها، وقلت لها: خذي من يد النبي ﷺ، قالت: فأخذت، فشربت شيئا، ثم قال لها النبي ﷺ: أعطي تربك. قالت أسماء: فقلت: يا رسول الله، بل خذه، فاشرب منه، ثم ناولنيه من يدك، فأخذه، فشرب منه، ثم ناولنيه، قالت: فجلست، ثم وضعته على ركبتي، ثم طفقت أديره، وأتبعه بشفتي لأصيب منه مشرب النبي ﷺ، ثم قال لنسوة عندي: ناوليهن، فقلن: لا نشتهيه، فقال النبي ﷺ: لا تجمعن جوعا وكذبا، فهل أنت منته أن تقول: لا أشتهيه؟ فقلت: أي أمه، لا أعود أبدا.
Imam Ahmad (27591) and Ibn Majah (3298) both narrated it through Abdullah bin Abu Husayn, who said, Shahr bin Hawshab narrated to me, and mentioned it. The wording given is Ahmad's, and Ibn Majah narrated it in abridged form. Its chain is hasan because of Shahr bin Hawshab, for his hadith is graded hasan when he does not contradict others and does not bring something objectionable, and this is such a case.Her saying, "she was adorned," means she was beautified. And his saying, "give your tirb," the tirb, with the ta kasrah and the ra sakinah, is a person's tirb, meaning the one born alongside him, that is, one who matches a person in age. This is mostly used for the feminine, one says, she is her tirb, and they two are tirban, and the plural is atrab. From this comes the saying of Allah Most High, "companions of equal age" [Naba 78:33], and His saying, "and full-breasted companions of equal age" [Naba 78:33].
