She said, the Abyssinians entered the mosque and were playing there. He said to me, "Humayraa, would you like to watch them?"I said, "Yes."So he stood at the door, and I came and rested my chin on his shoulder and pressed my face against his cheek.She said, among what they were chanting that day was, "Abu al-Qasim is a good man."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Is that enough for you?"I said, "Messenger of Allah, do not hurry me."So he kept standing for me, then said, "Is that enough?"I said, "Do not hurry me, Messenger of Allah."She said, it was not that I had any real desire to watch them, but I wanted the women to hear of his standing there for me and of my place with him.
قالت: دخل الحبشة المسجد يلعبون، فقال لي: يا حميراء أتحبين أن تنظري إليهم؟ فقلت: نعم، فقام بالباب، وجئته، فوضعت ذقني على عاتقه، فأسندت وجهي إلى خده، قالت: ومن قولهم يومئذ: أبا القاسم طيبا، فقال رسول الله ﷺ: حسبك، فقلت: يا رسول الله، لا تعجل، فقام لي، ثم قال: حسبك، فقلت: لا تعجل يا رسول الله، قالت: وما لي حب النظر إليهم، ولكنني أحببت أن يبلغ النساء مقامه لي، ومكاني منه.

Nasai narrated it in al-Kubra (8902), and Tahawi in Sharh Mushkil (292), both from Yunus bin Abdul-Ala, who said, Ibn Wahb informed us, Bakr bin Mudar informed me, from Ibn Hadi, from Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Harith, from Abu Salama, from Ayesha, and he related it. Its chain of transmission is sahih. Hafiz graded it sahih in Fath al-Bari (2/355) and said, "I have not seen mention of Humayra in any sahih hadith except this one."Among the reports about her is what Imam Ahmad narrated (25660), and by his route Hakim narrated it and graded it sahih, saying, Hammad bin Usama told us, Hisham bin Urwa informed us, from his father, from Ayesha, who said, "I used to enter my house, the one in which the Messenger of Allah was, while taking off my garment, saying, 'He is only my husband and my father.' But when Umar was buried with them, by Allah, I never entered afterward except with my clothes tightly fastened on me, out of modesty before Umar." Its chain of transmission is sahih, and mention of it has already been made in the Sirah section.Ibn Saad narrated it in Tabaqat (3/364), and Umar bin Shubba in Tarikh Madinah (3/945), both from Ismail bin Abdullah bin Abu Uways al-Madani, who said, my father told me, from Yahya bin Saeed and Abdullah bin Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm and others, from Amra bint Abdul-Rahman al-Ansariyya, from Ayesha, who said, "I continued to take off my veil and dress casually in my house, until Umar bin Khattab was buried in it. Then I remained careful with my clothing until a wall was built between me and the graves, after which I went back to dressing casually." Both of them said, and she described to us the grave of the Prophet, and the grave of Abu Bakr, and the grave of Umar, and these graves are in a small chamber attached to Ayesha's house. The wording is Ibn Saad's, and its chain of transmission is hasan.Her saying "I went back to dressing casually afterward" means she wore the everyday clothes that a woman wears in her house. Her saying "sahwa" means a small chamber set into the ground.Ayesha's chamber was adjacent to the masjid, since it is established in Sahih Bukhari (2046) that the Prophet was in retreat in the masjid, while she was in her chamber, and he would put his head out to her. The chamber was the front part of the house, like a sitting room.Allah Most High says, "Indeed, those who call you from behind the chambers, most of them do not understand" [Hujurat 49:4]. The chambers were made of palm-leaf stalks, unlike the houses, which were made of mud brick. Ayesha's chamber was about six or seven cubits, and the house was about ten cubits.Among the reports about her is what was narrated from Yahya bin Saeed bin Aas, that the Prophet gave Abu Bakr leave regarding Ayesha, and the Prophet was not concerned that Abu Bakr would truly harm her by what he did to her. He said, Abu Bakr then raised his hand and struck Ayesha on the chest. The Prophet was displeased by this and said to Abu Bakr, "I will not grant you such leave regarding her again, after this deed of yours."Abdul-Razzaq narrated it (20923), and from him Imam Ahmad in Fadail al-Sahabah (1629), from Mamar, from Zuhri, from Yahya bin Saeed bin Aas, and he related it. This is a mursal chain of transmission, and Ibn Hibban connected it (4185) by mentioning "Ayesha," but the narrators of the mursal version are more reliable and more numerous, and that is the correct view.
