Abdullah b. Abbas (Allah be pleased with tlicm) reported: I intended to ask 'Umar b. al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) about a verse, but I waited for one year to ask him out of his fear, until he went out for Pilgrimage and I also accompanied him. As he came back and we were on the way he stepped aside towards an Arak tree to ease himself. I waited for him until he was free. I then walked along with him and said: Commander of the Faithful, who are the two among the wives of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) who backed up one another (in their demand for extra money)? He said: They were Hafsa and 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with them). I said to him: It is for one year that I intended to ask you about this matter but I could not date so on account of the awe for you. He said: Don't do that. If you think that I have any knowledge, do ask me about that. And if I were to know that, I would inform you. He (the narrator) stated that 'Umar had said: By Allah, during the days of ignorance we had no regard for women until Allah the Exalt- ed revealed about them what He has revealed, and appointed (turn) for them what he appointed. He said: It so happened that I was thinking about some matter that my wife said: I wish you had done that and that. I said to her: It does not concern you and you should not feel disturbed in a matter which I intend to do. She said to me: How strange is it that you, O son of Khattab, do not like anyone to retort upon you, whereas your daughter retorts upon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upou him) until he spends the day in vexation. 'Umar said: I took hold of my cloak, then came out of my house until I visited Hafsa and said to her: O daughter, (I heard) that you retort upon Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) until he spends the day in vexation, whereupon Hafsa said: By Allah, we do retort upon him. I said: You should bear in mind, my daughter, that I warn you against the punishment of Allah and the wrath of His Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). You may not be misled by one whose beauty has fascinated her, and the love of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) for her. I ('Umar) then visited Umm Salama because of my relationship with her and I talked to her. Umm Salama said to me: Umar b. al-Khattab, how strange is it that you meddle with every matter so much so that you are anxious to interfere between Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and his wives, and this perturbed me so much that I refrained from saying what I had to say, so I came out of her apartment, and I had a friend from the Anar. When I had been absent (from the company of the Holy Prophet) he used to bring me the news and when he had been absent I used to bring him the news, and at that time we dreaded a king of Ghassan. It was mentioned to us that he intended to attack us, and our minds were haunted by him. My friend, the Ansari, came to me, and he knocked at the door and said: Open it, open it. I said: Has the Ghassani come? He said: (The matter is) more serious than that. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) has separated himself from his wives. I said: Let the nose of Hafsa and 'A'isha be besmeared with dust. I then took hold of my cloth and went out until I came and found Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) in his attic to which he climbed by means of a ladder made of date-palm, and the servant of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) who was black had been sitting at the end of the ladder. I said: This is Umar. So permission was granted to me. I narrated this news to Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and as I narrated the news concerning Umm Salama, Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) smiled. He was lying on the mat and there was nothing between him and that (mat), and under his head there was a pillow made of leather and it was stuffed with plam fibres and at his feet were lying a heap of sant tree (acacia niloctica, meant for dyeing) and near his head there was hanging a hide. And I saw the marks of the maton the side of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ), and so I wept. He said: What makes you weep? I said: Messenger of Allah, the Khusrau and the Ceasars (spendd their lives in) the midst of (luxuries), whereas you being Allah's Messenger (are leading your life in this poverty). Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: Don't you like that they should have riches of their world, and you have the Hereafter.
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلَالٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ حُنَيْنٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ: مَكَثْتُ سَنَةً وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ آيَةٍ، فَمَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ، هَيْبَةً لَهُ حَتَّى خَرَجَ حَاجًّا، فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ فَكُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ عَدَلَ إِلَى الْأَرَاكِ لِحَاجَةٍ لَهُ، فَوَقَفْتُ لَهُ حَتَّى فَرَغَ، ثُمَّ سِرْتُ مَعَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، مَنِ اللَّتَانِ تَظَاهَرَتَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ، فَقَالَ: تِلْكَ حَفْصَةُ وَعَائِشَةُ، قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: وَاللهِ، إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ هَذَا مُنْذُ سَنَةٍ، فَمَا أَسْتَطِيعُ هَيْبَةً لَكَ، قَالَ: فَلَا تَفْعَلْ، مَا ظَنَنْتَ أَنَّ عِنْدِي مِنْ عِلْمٍ فَسَلْنِي عَنْهُ، فَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُهُ أَخْبَرْتُكَ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَاللهِ، إِنْ كُنَّا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مَا نَعُدُّ لِلنِّسَاءِ أَمْرًا، حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِنَّ مَا أَنْزَلَ، وَقَسَمَ لَهُنَّ مَا قَسَمَ، قَالَ: فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا فِي أَمْرٍ أَأْتَمِرُهُ إِذْ قَالَتْ لِي امْرَأَتِي: لَوْ صَنَعْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: وَمَا لَكِ أَنْتِ، وَلِمَا هَاهُنَا؟ وَمَا تَكَلُّفُكِ فِي أَمْرٍ أُرِيدُهُ، فَقَالَتْ لِي: عَجَبًا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُرَاجَعَ أَنْتَ، وَإِنَّ ابْنَتَكَ لَتُرَاجِعُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حَتَّى يَظَلَّ يَوْمَهُ غَضْبَانَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ [ص:1109]: فَآخُذُ رِدَائِي، ثُمَّ أَخْرُجُ مَكَانِي حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ، فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: يَا بُنَيَّةُ إِنَّكِ لَتُرَاجِعِينَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حَتَّى يَظَلَّ يَوْمَهُ غَضْبَانَ؟ فَقَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ: وَاللهِ إِنَّا لَنُرَاجِعُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: تَعْلَمِينَ أَنِّي أُحَذِّرُكِ عُقُوبَةَ اللهِ، وَغَضَبَ رَسُولِهِ، يَا بُنَيَّةُ، لَا يَغُرَّنَّكِ هَذِهِ الَّتِي قَدْ أَعْجَبَهَا حُسْنُهَا، وَحُبُّ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِيَّاهَا، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ لِقَرَابَتِي مِنْهَا، فَكَلَّمْتُهَا، فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: عَجَبًا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَدْ دَخَلْتَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، حَتَّى تَبْتَغِيَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذَتْنِي أَخْذًا كَسَرَتْنِي عَنْ بَعْضِ مَا كُنْتُ أَجِدُ، فَخَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا، وَكَانَ لِي صَاحِبٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِذَا غِبْتُ أَتَانِي بِالْخَبَرِ، وَإِذَا غَابَ كُنْتُ أَنَا آتِيهِ بِالْخَبَرِ، وَنَحْنُ حِينَئِذٍ نَتَخَوَّفُ مَلِكًا مِنْ مُلُوكِ غَسَّانَ، ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسِيرَ إِلَيْنَا، فَقَدِ امْتَلَأَتْ صُدُورُنَا مِنْهُ، فَأَتَى صَاحِبِي الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَدُقُّ الْبَابَ، وَقَالَ: افْتَحِ افْتَحْ، فَقُلْتُ: جَاءَ الْغَسَّانِيُّ؟ فَقَالَ: أَشَدُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، اعْتَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَزْوَاجَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: رَغِمَ أَنْفُ حَفْصَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ، ثُمَّ آخُذُ ثَوْبِي، فَأَخْرُجُ حَتَّى جِئْتُ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَشْرُبَةٍ لَهُ يُرْتَقَى إِلَيْهَا بِعَجَلَةٍ، وَغُلَامٌ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْوَدُ عَلَى رَأْسِ الدَّرَجَةِ، فَقُلْتُ: هَذَا عُمَرُ، فَأُذِنَ لِي، قَالَ عُمَرُ: فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ حَدِيثَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، تَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَى حَصِيرٍ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ شَيْءٌ، وَتَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ وِسَادَةٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ، حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ، وَإِنَّ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ قَرَظًا مَضْبُورًا، وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ أُهُبًا مُعَلَّقَةً، فَرَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ الْحَصِيرِ فِي جَنْبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَبَكَيْتُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا يُبْكِيكَ؟» فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ كِسْرَى وَقَيْصَرَ فِيمَا هُمَا فِيهِ، وَأَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُمَا الدُّنْيَا، وَلَكَ الْآخِرَةُ
  سلیمان بن بلال نے کہا : مجھے یحییٰ نے عبید بن حنین سے خبر دی کہ انہوں نے عبداللہ بن عباس رضی اللہ عنہ سے سنا وہ حدیث بیان کر رہے تھے ، انہوں نے کہا : میں نے سال بھر کے انتظار کیا ، میں حضرت عمر بن خطاب رضی اللہ عنہ سے ایک آیت کے بارے میں دریافت کرنا چاہتا تھا مگر ان کی ہیبت کی وجہ سے ان سے سوال کرنے کی ہمت نہ پاتا تھا ، حتی کہ وہ حج کرنے کے لیے روانہ ہوئے ، میں بھی ان کے ساتھ نکلا ، جب لوٹے تو ہم راستے میں کسی جگہ تھے کہ وہ قضائے حاجت کے لیے پیلو کے درخت کی طرف چلے گئے ، میں ان کے انتظار میں ٹھہر گیا ، حتی کہ وہ فارغ ہو گئے ، پھر میں ان کے ساتھ چل پڑا ، میں نے عرض کی : امیر المومنین! رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی ازواج میں سے وہ کون سی دو خواتین تھیں جنہوں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے خلاف ایکا کر لیا تھا؟ انہوں نے جواب دیا : وہ حفصہ اور عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہن تھیں ۔ میں نے کہا : اللہ کی قسم! میں ایک سال سے اس کے بارے میں آپ سے پوچھنا چاہتا تھا مگر آپ کے رعب کی وجہ سے ہمت نہ پاتا تھا ۔ انہوں نے کہا : ایسا نہیں کرنا ، جو بات بھی تم سمجھو کہ مجھے علم ہے ، اس کے بارے میں مجھ سے پوچھ لیا کرو ، اگر میں جانتا ہوا تو تمہیں بتا دوں گا ۔ کہا : اور حضرت عمر رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا : اللہ کی قسم! جب ہم جاہلیت کے زمانے میں تھے تو عورتوں کو کسی شمار میں نہ رکھتے تھے ، حتی کہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے ان کے بارے میں جو نازل کیا ، سو نازل کیا ، اور جو ( مرتبہ ) انہیں دینا تھا سو دیا ۔ انہوں نے کہا : ایک مرتبہ میں کسی معاملے میں لگا ہوا تھا ، اس کے متعلق سوچ بچار کر رہا تھا کہ مجھے میری بیوی نے کہا : اگر آپ ایسا ایسا کر لیں ( تو بہتر ہو گا ۔ ) میں نے اسے جواب دیا : تمہیں اس سے کیا سروکار؟ اور یہاں ( اس معاملے میں ) تمہیں کیا دلچسپی ہے؟ اور ایک کام جو میں کرنا چاہتا ہوں اس میں تمہارا تکلف ( زبردستی ٹانگ اڑانا ) کیسا؟اس نے مجھے جواب دیا : ابن خطاب! آپ پر تعجب ہے! آپ یہ نہیں چاہتے کہ آپ کے بارے آگے بات کی جائے ، جبکہ آپ کی بیٹی رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو ایسے پلٹ کر جواب دیتی ہے کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم دن بھر اس سے ناراض رہتے ہیں ۔ حضرت عمر رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا : میں ( اسی وقت ) اپنی چادر پکڑتا ہوں اور اپنی جگہ سے نکل کھڑا ہوتا ہوں ، یہاں تک کہ حفصہ کے پاس پہنچتا ہوں ۔ جا کر میں نے اس سے کہا : بٹیا! تم رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو ایسے جواب دیتی ہو کہ وہ سارا دن ناراض رہتے ہیں ۔ حفصہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے جواب دیا : اللہ کی قسم! ہم آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو جواب دے لیتی ہیں ۔ میں نے کہا : جان لو میں تمہیں اللہ کی سزا اور اس کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی ناراضی سے ڈرا رہا ہوں ، میری بیٹی! تمہیں وہ ( عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا اپنے رویے کی بنا پر ) دھوکے میں نہ ڈال دے جسے اپنے حسن اور رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی اپنے سے محبت پر ناز ہے ۔ پھر میں نکلا حتی کہ ام سلمہ رضی اللہ عنہا کے ہاں آیا ، کیونکہ میری ان سے قرابت داری تھی ۔ میں نے ان سے بات کی تو ام سلمہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے مجھے جواب دیا : ابن خطاب تم پر تعجب ہے! تم ہر کام میں دخل اندازی کرتے ہو حتی کہ تم چاہتے ہو کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اور ان کی ازواج کے مابین بھی دخل دو؟ انہوں نے مجھے اس طرح آڑے ہاتھوں لیا کہ جو ( عزم ) میں ( دل میں ) پا رہا تھا ( کہ میں ازواجِ مطہرات کو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے سامنے جواب دینے سے روک لوں گا ) مجھے توڑ کر اس سے الگ کر دیا ۔ چنانچہ میں ان کے ہاں سے نکل آیا ۔ میرا ایک انصاری ساتھی تھا ، جب میں ( آپ کی مجلس سے ) غیر حاضر ہوتا تو وہ میرے پاس ( وہاں کی ) خبر لاتا اور جب وہ غیر حاضر ہوتا تو میں اس کے پاس خبر لے آتا ۔ ہم اس زمانے میں غسان کے بادشاہوں میں سے ایک بادشاہ سے ڈر رہے تھے ۔ ہمیں بتایا گیا تھا کہ وہ ہم پر چڑھائی کرنا چاہتے ہے ۔ اس ( کی وجہ ) سے ہمارے سینے ( اندیشوں سے ) بھرے ہوئے تھے ۔ ( اچانک ایک دن ) میرا انصاری دوست آ کر دروازہ کھٹکھٹانے لگا اور کہنے لگا : کھولو ، کھولو! میں نے پوچھا : غسانی آ گیا ہے؟ اس نے کہا : اس سے بھی زیادہ سنگین معاملہ ہے ، رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اپنی بیویوں سے علیحدگی اختیار کر لی ہے ۔ میں نے کہا : حفصہ اور عائشہ رضی اللہ عنھن کی ناک خاک آلود ہو! پھر میں اپنے کپرے لے کر نکل کھڑا ہوا ، حتی کہ ( رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں ) حاضر ہوا ۔ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اپنے بالا خانے میں تھے جس پر سیڑھی کے ذریعے چڑھ کر جانا ہوتا تھا ، اور رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا ایک سیاہ فام غلام سیڑھی کے سرے پر بیٹھا ہوا تھا ۔ میں نے کہا : یہ عمر ہے ( خدمت میں حاضری کی اجازت چاہتا ہے ) ، تو مجھے اجازت عطا ہوئی ۔ عمر رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا : میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے سامنے یہ ساری بات بیان کی ، جب میں ام سلمہ رضی اللہ عنہا کی بات پر پہنچا تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم مسکرا دیے ۔ آپ ایک چٹائی پر ( لیٹے ہوئے ) تھے ، آپ کے ( جسم مبارک ) اور اس ( چٹائی ) کے درمیان کچھ نہ تھا ۔ آپ کے سر کے نیچے چمڑے کا ایک تکیہ تھا جس میں کھجور کی چھال بھری ہوئی تھی ۔ آپ کے پاؤں کے قریب کیکر کی چھال کا چھوٹا سا گٹھا پڑا تھا اور آپ کے سر کے قریب کچھ کچے چمڑے لٹکے ہوئے تھے ۔ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پہلو پر چٹائی کے نشان دیکھے تو رو پڑا ۔ آپ نے پوچھا : " تمہیں کیا رلا رہا ہے؟ " عرض کی : اے اللہ کے رسول! کسریٰ اور قیصر دونوں ( کفر کے باوجود ) اُس ناز و نعمت میں ہیں جس میں ہیں اور آپ تو اللہ کے رسول ہیں؟ تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " کیا تمہیں پسند نہیں کہ ان کے لیے ( صرف ) دنیا ہو اور تمہارے لیے آخرت ہو

sahih-muslim-3693

Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) said: I came along with Umar until we reached Marr al-Zahran (the name of a place), and the rest of the hadith is the same as narrated by Sulaiman b. Bilal (except with) the variation (of words) that I said: (What) about these two women? He said: They were Hafsa and Umm Salama. And he made this addition: I came to the apartments and in every apartment there was (the noise) of weeping. And this addition was also made: And he (the Holy Prophet) had taken an oath of remaining away from them for a month, and when twenty-nine days had passed, he visited them.

sahih-muslim-3694

Umar b. al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Allah's Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) kept himself away from his wives, I entered the mosque, and found people striking the ground with pebblesand saying: Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) has divorced his wives, and that was before they were commanded to observe seclusion 'Umar said to himself: I must find this (actual position) today. So I went to 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) and said (to her): Daughter of Abu Bakr, have you gone to the extent of giving trouble to Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم )? Thereupon she said: Son of Khattab, you have nothing to do with me, and I have nothing to do with you. You should look to your own receptacle. He ('Umar) said: I visited Hafsa daughter of 'Umar, and said to her: Hafsa, the (news) has reached me that you cause Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) trouble. You know that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) does not love you, and had I not been (your father) he would have divorced you. (On hearing this) she wept bitterly. I said to her: Where is Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم )? Shesaid: He is in the attic room. I went in and found Rabah, the servant of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ), sitting on the thresholds of the window dangling his feet on the hollow wood of the date-palm with the help of which Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) climbed (to the apartment) and came down. I cried: 0 Rabah, seek permission for me from Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him). Rabah cast a glance at the apartment and then looked toward me but said nothing. I again said: Rabah, seek permission for me from Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). Rabah looked towards the apartment and then cast a glance at me, but said nothig. I then raised my voice and said: 0 Rabah, seek permission for me from Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). I think that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) is under the impression that I have come for the sake of Hafsa. By Allah, if Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) would command me to strike her neck, I would certainly strike her neck. I raised my voice and he pointed me to climb up (and get into his apartment). I visited Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ), and he was lying on a mat. I sat down and he drew up his lower garment over him and he had nothing (else) over him, and that the mat had left its marks on his sides. I looked with my eyes in the store room of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). I found only a handful of barley equal to one sa' and an equal quantity of the leaves of Mimosa Flava placed in the nook of the cell, and a semi-tanned leather bag hanging (in one side), and I was moved to tears (on seeing this extremely austere living of the Holy Piophet), and he said: Ibn Khattab, what wakes you weep? I said: Apostle of Allah, why should I not shed tears? This mat has left its marks on your sides and I do not see in your store room (except these few things) that I have seen; Ceasar and Closroes are leading their lives in plenty whereas you are Allah's Messenger. His chosen one, and that is your store! He said: Ibn Khattab, aren't you satisfied that for us (there should be the prosperity) of the Hereafter, and for them (there should be the prosperity of) this world? I said: Yes. And as I had entered I had seen the signs of anger on his face, and I therefore, said: Messenger of Allah, what trouble do you feel from your wives, and if youhave divorced them, verily Allah is with you, His angels, Gabriel, Mika'il, I and Abu Bakr and the believers are with you. And seldom I talked and (which I uttered on that day) I hoped that Allah would testify to my words that I uttered. And so the verse of option (Ayat al-Takhyir) was revealed. Maybe his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in your place wives better than you... (Ixv. 5). And if you back up one another against him, then surely Allah is his Patron, and Gabriel and the righteous believers, and the angels after that are the aidera (lvi. 4). And it was 'A'isha, daughter of Abu Bakr, and Hafsa who had prevailed upon all the wives of Allah's Prophet (way peace be upon him) for (pressing them for mote money). I said: Messenger of Allah, have you divorced them? He said: No. I said: Messenger of Allah, I entered the mosque and found the Muslims playing with pebbles (absorbed in thought) and saying: Allah's Messenger has divorced his wives. Should I get down and inform there that you have not divorced them? He said: Yes, if you so like. And I went on talking to him until I (found) the signs of anger disappeared on his face and (his seriousness was changed to a happy mood and as a result thereof) his face had the natural tranquillity upon it and he laughed and his teeth were the most charming (among the teeth) of all people. Then Allah's Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) climbed down and I also climbed down and catching hold of the wood of the palm-tree and Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) came down (with such ease) as if he was walking on the ground, not touching anything with his hand (to get support). I said: Messenger of Allah, you remained in your apartment for twenty-nine days. He said: (At times) the month consists of twenty-nine days. I stood at the door of the mosque and I called out at the top of my voice: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) has not divorced his wives (and it was on this occasion that this) verse was revealed: And if any matter pertaining to peace or alarm comes within their ken, they broadcast it; whereas, if they would refer it to the Apostle and those who have been entrusted with authority amongst them, those of them who are engaged in obtaining intelligence would indeed know (what to do with) it (iv 83). And it was I who understood this matter, and Allah revealed the verse pertaining to option (given to the Prophet (may peace be upon him in regard to the retaining or divorcing of his wives).

'Umar said: I took hold of my cloak, then came out of my house until I visited Hafsa and said to her: O daughter, (I heard) that you retort upon Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) until he spends the day in vexation, whereupon Hafsa said: By Allah, we do retort upon him. I said: You should bear in mind, my daughter, that I warn you against the punishment of Allah and the wrath of His Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). You may not be misled by one whose beauty has fascinated her, and the love of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) for her. I ('Umar) then visited Umm Salama because of my relationship with her and I talked to her. Umm Salama said to me: Umar b. al-Khattab, how strange is it that you meddle with every matter so much so that you are anxious to interfere between Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and his wives, and this perturbed me so much that I refrained from saying what I had to say, so I came out of her apartment, and I had a friend from the Anar. When I had been absent (from the company of the Holy Prophet) he used to bring me the news and when he had been absent I used to bring him the news, and at that time we dreaded a king of Ghassan. It was mentioned to us that he intended to attack us, and our minds were haunted by him. My friend, the Ansari, came to me, and he knocked at the door and said: Open it, open it. I said: Has the Ghassani come? He said: (The matter is) more serious than that. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) has separated himself from his wives. I said: Let the nose of Hafsa and 'A'isha be besmeared with dust. I then took hold of my cloth and went out until I came and found Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) in his attic to which he climbed by means of a ladder made of date-palm, and the servant of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) who was black had been sitting at the end of the ladder. I said: This is Umar. So permission was granted to me. I narrated this news to Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and as I narrated the news concerning Umm Salama, Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) smiled. He was lying on the mat and there was nothing between him and that (mat), and under his head there was a pillow made of leather and it was stuffed with plam fibres and at his feet were lying a heap of sant tree (acacia niloctica, meant for dyeing) and near his head there was hanging a hide. And I saw the marks of the maton the side of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ), and so I wept. He said: What makes you weep? I said: Messenger of Allah, the Khusrau and the Ceasars (spendd their lives in) the midst of (luxuries), whereas you being Allah's Messenger (are leading your life in this poverty). Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: Don't you like that they should have riches of their world, and you have the Hereafter.

Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) said: I came along with Umar until we reached Marr al-Zahran (the name of a place), and the rest of the hadith is the same as narrated by Sulaiman b. Bilal (except with) the variation (of words) that I said: (What) about these two women? He said: They were Hafsa and Umm Salama. And he made this addition: I came to the apartments and in every apartment there was (the noise) of weeping. And this addition was also made: And he (the Holy Prophet) had taken an oath of remaining away from them for a month, and when twenty-nine days had passed, he visited them.

sahih-muslim-3697

Fatima bint Qais reported that Abu 'Amr b. Hafs divorced her absolutely when he was away from home, and he sent his agent to her with some barley. She was displeased with him and when he said: I swear by Allah that you have no claim on us. she went to Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and mentioned that to him. He said: There is no maintenance due to you from him, and he commanded her to spend the 'Idda in the house of Umm Sharik, but then said: That is a woman whom my companions visit. So better spend this period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man and yon can put off your garments. And when the 'Idda is over, inform me. She said: When my period of 'Idda was over, I mentioned to him that Mu'awiya b. Abu Sufyan and Jahm had sent proposal of marriage to me, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: As for Abu Jahm, he does not put down his staff from his shoulder, and as for Mu'awiya, he is a poor man having no property; marry Usama b. Zaid. I objected to him, but he again said: Marry Usama; so I married him. Allah blessed there in and I was envied (by others).

Fatima bint Qais reported that her husband divorced her during the life time of Allah's Prophet ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and gave her a meagre maintenance allowance. When she saw that, she said: By Allah, I will inform Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ), and if maintenance allowance is due to me then I will accept that which will suffice me, and if it is not due to me, I will not accept anything from him. She said: I made a mention of that to Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and he said: There is neither maintenance allowance for you nor lodging.
