الترجمة الإنجليزية
Abd al-Malik ibn Amr Abu Amir told us, Zakariyya — meaning Ibn Ishaq — told us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, he said: Abu Bakr came seeking permission to enter upon the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, while the people were sitting at his door. He was not given permission. Then Umar came and sought permission, but he was not given permission either. Then Abu Bakr and Umar were given permission, and they entered while the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was sitting with his wives around him, and he was silent. Umar, may God be pleased with him, said: "I will surely speak to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, so perhaps he will laugh." So Umar said: "O Messenger of God, if only you had seen the daughter of Zayd, Umar's wife — she asked me for maintenance just now, so I struck her on the neck." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, laughed until his molars showed, and said: "They are around me as you see, asking me for maintenance." Then Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, got up to strike Aishah, and Umar got up to strike Hafsah, both saying: "You ask the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, for what he does not have!" The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade them both. Then his wives said: "By God, we will not ask the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, after this gathering, for what he does not have." He said: And God, Mighty and Majestic, revealed the verse of choice, and he began with Aishah, saying: "I wish to mention something to you, and I would not like you to be hasty about it until you consult your parents." She said: "What is it?" He recited to her: {O Prophet, say to your wives...} the verse. Aishah said: "Should I consult my parents about you? Rather, I choose God and His Messenger, and I ask you not to mention to any of your wives what I have chosen." He said: "God, Mighty and Majestic, did not send me to be harsh, but sent me as a teacher, making things easy. No woman among them will ask me about what she has chosen except that I will tell her." Rawh told us, Zakariyya told us, Abu al-Zubayr told us, from Jabir, and he mentioned something similar, except that he said his wives were around him, gloomy, and he said "He did not send me to cause hardship" or "to cause trial."
