Ayesha reported,

"Shall I tell you a story about the Prophet ﷺ and myself?"We said, "Yes, please."She said, "When it was my night, the Prophet ﷺ came back, placed his sandals near his feet, laid down his cloak, and spread his lower garment on his bed. He waited only long enough to think I had fallen asleep, then he put on his sandals quietly, took his cloak quietly, opened the door quietly, went out, and shut it quietly behind him. I put my dress over my head, covered my face with a veil, and tightened my wrap around me, then I followed his trail until he reached al-Baqi. There he raised his hands three times and stood for a long time. Then he turned to leave, and I turned too. He walked quickly, and I walked quickly. He jogged, and I jogged. He ran, and I ran. I outpaced him and went inside, and I had barely lain down when he entered.He said, "What is the matter with you, Aisha, breathing so heavily?"Sulayman said, "I think he said, 'panting?'"He said, "You will tell me, or the Subtle, the All-Aware will tell me."I said, "Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransomed for you," and I told him what had happened.He said, "So you were the dark figure I saw ahead of me?"I said, "Yes."She said, "He gave me a shove in the chest that hurt me, and said, 'Did you think that Allah and His Messenger would deal unjustly with you?'"She said, "Whatever people conceal, Allah knows."He said, "Yes. Jibril came to me when you saw what you saw. He could not enter while you had taken off your clothes, so he called to me, keeping himself hidden from you. I answered him, also keeping it hidden from you. I thought you had fallen asleep and disliked waking you, and I feared you would feel frightened to be alone. He commanded me to go to the people of al-Baqi and seek forgiveness for them."Hajjaj bin Muhammad differed with him and reported it from Ibn Jurayj, from Ibn Abu Mulayka, from Muhammad bin Qays.

عائشة تقول

ألا أحدثكم عن النبي ﷺ وعني قلنا بلى قالت لما كانت ليلتي انقلب فوضع نعليه عند رجليه ووضع رداءه وبسط إزاره على فراشه ولم يلبث إلا ريثما ظن أني قد رقدت ثم انتعل رويدا وأخذ رداءه رويدا ثم فتح الباب رويدا وخرج وأجافه رويدا وجعلت درعي في رأسي فاختمرت وتقنعت إزاري وانطلقت في إثره حتى جاء البقيع فرفع يديه ثلاث مرات وأطال القيام ثم انحرف وانحرفت فأسرع فأسرعت فهرول فهرولت فأحضر فأحضرت وسبقته فدخلت وليس إلا أن اضطجعت فدخل فقال ما لك يا عائش رابية قال سليمان حسبته قال حشيا قال لتخبرني أو ليخبرني اللطيف الخبير قلت يا رسول الله بأبي أنت وأمي فأخبرته الخبر قال أنت السواد الذي رأيت أمامي قلت نعم قالت فلهدني لهدة في صدري أوجعتني قال أظننت أن يحيف الله عليك ورسوله قالت مهما يكتم الناس فقد علمه الله عز وجل قال نعم قال فإن جبريل عليه السلام أتاني حين رأيت ولم يكن يدخل عليك وقد وضعت ثيابك فناداني فأخفى منك فأجبته وأخفيته منك وظننت أنك قد رقدت فكرهت أن أوقظك وخشيت أن تستوحشي فأمرني أن آتي أهل البقيع فأستغفر لهم خالفه حجاج بن محمد فقال عن ابن جريج عن ابن أبي مليكة عن محمد بن قيس
