Narrated Anas: When Um Sulaim gave birth to a child. she said to me, "O Anas! Watch this boy carefully and do not
give him anything to eat or drink until you have taken him to the Prophet (ﷺ) tomorrow morning for the
Tahnik." So the next morning I took the child to the Prophet (ﷺ) who was sitting in a garden and was
wearing a Huraithiya Khamisa and was branding the she-camel on which he had come during the
Conquest of Mecca.
Narrated `Ikrima: Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said
that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed
her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so
when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came, `Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the
believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!" When `AbdurRahman heard that his
wife had gone to the Prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, "By Allah! I
have done no wrong to him but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding and showing
the fringe of her garment, `Abdur-Rahman said, "By Allah, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! She has told a lie! I am
very strong and can satisfy her but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifa`a." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifa`a unless
`Abdur-Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) saw two boys with `Abdur-
Rahman and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that `AbdurRahman said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "You claim what you claim (i.e.. that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as
a crow resembles a crow,"

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: For one year I wanted to ask `Umar about the two women who helped each other against the Prophet (ﷺ)
but I was afraid of him. One day he dismounted his riding animal and went among the trees of Arak to
answer the call of nature, and when he returned, I asked him and he said, "(They were) `Aisha and
Hafsa." Then he added, "We never used to give significance to ladies in the days of the Pre-lslamic
period of ignorance, but when Islam came and Allah mentioned their rights, we used to give them
their rights but did not allow them to interfere in our affairs.
Once there was some dispute between me and my wife and she answered me back in a loud voice. I
said to her, 'Strange! You can retort in this way?' She said, 'Yes. Do you say this to me while your
daughter troubles Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?' So I went to Hafsa and said to her, 'I warn you not to disobey
Allah and His Apostle.' I first went to Hafsa and then to Um Salama and told her the same. She said to
me, 'O `Umar! It surprises me that you interfere in our affairs so much that you would poke your nose
even into the affairs of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his wives.' So she rejected my advice. There was an Ansari
man; whenever he was absent from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and I was present there, I used to convey to him
what had happened (on that day), and when I was absent and he was present there, he used to convey
to me what had happened as regards news from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) .
During that time all the rulers of the nearby lands had surrendered to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) except the king
of Ghassan in Sham, and we were afraid that he might attack us. All of a sudden the Ansari came and
said, 'A great event has happened!' I asked him, 'What is it? Has the Ghassani (king) come?' He said,
'Greater than that! Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has divorced his wives! I went to them and found all of them
weeping in their dwellings, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had ascended to an upper room of his. At the door of the
room there was a slave to whom I went and said, "Ask the permission for me to enter." He admitted
me and I entered to see the Prophet (ﷺ) lying on a mat that had left its imprint on his side. Under his head
there was a leather pillow stuffed with palm fires. Behold! There were some hides hanging there and
some grass for tanning. Then I mentioned what I had said to Hafsa and Um Salama and what reply
Um Salama had given me. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) smiled and stayed there for twenty nine days and then
came down." (See Hadith No. 648, Vol. 3 for details)
