Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out on a journey, he would draw lots among his wives. The lot fell on Ayesha and Hafsa, so they both went out with him together. When night came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would travel alongside Ayesha, conversing with her.Hafsa said to Ayesha, "Why don't you ride my camel tonight, and I'll ride yours, so that you can see and I can see?"Ayesha replied, "Alright."So Ayesha rode Hafsa's camel, and Hafsa rode Ayesha's camel. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came over to Ayesha's camel, on which Hafsa was riding, greeted her, and traveled along with her until they made camp.Ayesha missed him and became jealous. When they dismounted, she began thrusting her foot among the idhkhir grass, saying, "Lord, send a scorpion or a snake against me to sting me. He is Your Messenger, and I cannot say anything to him."
كان رسول الله ﷺ إذا خرج، أقرع بين نسائه، فطارت القرعة على عائشة وحفصة، فخرجتا معه جميعا، وكان رسول الله ﷺ إذا كان بالليل، سار مع عائشة، يتحدث معها، فقالت حفصة لعائشة: ألا تركبين الليلة بعيري وأركب بعيرك، فتنظرين وأنظر؟ قالت: بلى، فركبت عائشة على بعير حفصة، وركبت حفصة على بعير عائشة، فجاء رسول الله ﷺ إلى جمل عائشة، وعليه حفصة، فسلم ثم سار معها، حتى نزلوا، فافتقدته عائشة فغارت، فلما نزلوا جعلت تجعل رجلها بين الإذخر، وتقول: يا رب سلط علي عقربا أو حية تلدغني، رسولك ولا أستطيع أن أقول له شيئا.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Marriage (5211), and Muslim narrated it in the Merits of the Companions (2445), both from Abu Naeem, who said, Abdul-Wahid bin Ayman narrated to us, who said, Ibn Abu Mulayka narrated to me, from Qasim bin Muhammad, from Ayesha, who said (and then she related it), and the wording given here is Muslim's.As for her saying "your messenger" in the nominative case, this is because it functions as the predicate of an omitted subject, meaning, "he is your messenger, and I cannot say anything against him." It seems she was tricked into saying this, and so she invoked something against herself out of the intensity of her jealousy regarding the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She did not say anything of the sort about Hafsa, because Hafsa was the one who had willingly agreed to the request, and so the blame turned back upon herself.
