Narrated Hisham's father: When Allah's Apostle was in his fatal illness, he started visiting his wives and saying, Where will I be tomorrow? He was anxious to be in `Aisha's home. `Aisha said, So when it was my day, the Prophet became silent (no longer asked the question).

By Allah, the people choose to send presents on the day of `Aisha's turn and we too, love the good (i.e. presents etc.) as `Aisha does. You should tell Allah's Apostle to tell the people to send their presents to him wherever he may be, or wherever his turn may be. Um Salama said that to the Prophet and he turned away from her, and when the Prophet returned to her (i.e. Um Salama), she repeated the same, and the Prophet again turned away, and when she told him the same for the third time, the Prophet said, O Um Salama! Don't trouble me by harming `Aisha, for by Allah, the Divine Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman amongst you except her.

When this news reached the Prophet he called the Ansar and said, What is this news that has reached me from you? They used not to tell lies, so they replied, What has reached you is true. He said, Doesn't it please you that the people take the booty to their homes and you take Allah's Apostle to your homes?
