حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَتْ تَزَوَّجَنِي الزُّبَيْرُ وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ مَالٍ وَلَا مَمْلُوكٍ وَلَا شَيْءٍ غَيْرَ فَرَسِهِ قَالَتْ فَكُنْتُ أَعْلِفُ فَرَسَهُ وَأَكْفِيهِ مَئُونَتَهُ وَأَسُوسُهُ وَأَدُقُّ النَّوَى لِنَاضِحِهِ أَعْلِبُ وَأَسْتَقِي الْمَاءَ وَأَخْرُزُ غَرْبَهُ وَأَعْجِنُ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أُحْسِنُ أَخْبِزُ فَكَانَ يَخْبِزُ لِي جَارَاتٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَكُنَّ نِسْوَةَ صِدْقٍ وَكُنْتُ أَنْقُلُ النَّوَى مِنْ أَرْضِ الزُّبَيْرِ الَّتِي أَقْطَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَأْسِي وَهِيَ مِنِّي عَلَى ثُلُثَيْ فَرْسَخٍ قَالَتْ فَجِئْتُ يَوْمًا وَالنَّوَى عَلَى رَأْسِي فَلَقِيتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَدَعَانِي ثُمَّ قَالَ إِخْ إِخْ لِيَحْمِلَنِي خَلْفَهُ قَالَتْ فَاسْتَحَيْتُ أَنْ أَسِيرَ مَعَ الرِّجَالِ وَذَكَرْتُ الزُّبَيْرَ وَغَيْرَتَهُ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ أَغْيَرَ النَّاسِ فَعَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنِّي قَدْ اسْتَحَيْتُ فَمَضَى وَجِئْتُ الزُّبَيْرَ فَقُلْتُ لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَى رَأْسِي النَّوَى وَمَعَهُ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَأَنَاخَ لِأَرْكَبَ مَعَهُ فَاسْتَحَيْتُ وَعَرَفْتُ غَيْرَتَكَ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَحَمْلُكِ النَّوَى أَشَدُّ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رُكُوبِكِ مَعَهُ قَالَتْ حَتَّى أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِخَادِمٍ فَكَفَتْنِي سِيَاسَةَ الْفَرَسِ فَكَأَنَّمَا أَعْتَقَنِي.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Abu Usamah told us: Hisham b. Urwah told us: My father informed me, from Asma' bint Abi Bakr, who said: al-Zubayr married me when he had no property on earth, nor slave, nor anything except his horse. She said: I used to feed his horse, take care of all its needs, and groom it, and grind date-stones for his watering-camel, and I would draw water, sew his leather bucket, and knead dough — though I did not know how to bake well, so neighboring women of the Ansar, who were truthful women, would bake for me. And I used to carry date-stones on my head from the land of al-Zubayr which the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) had granted him, which was two-thirds of a farsakh from me. She said: One day I came with the date-stones on my head, and I met the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him), with a group of his Companions with him. He called me, then said, 'Ikh, ikh' (to make his camel kneel) so as to carry me behind him. She said: I felt shy to travel with the men, and remembered al-Zubayr and his jealousy — she said he was the most jealous of people. The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) realized that I felt shy, so he went on. I came to al-Zubayr and said, 'The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) met me while I had date-stones on my head, with a group of his Companions with him, and he made his camel kneel so I could ride with him, but I felt shy and remembered your jealousy.' He said, 'By God, your carrying the date-stones is more distressing to me than your riding with him.' She said: Until Abu Bakr later sent me a servant, who spared me the care of the horse, and it was as though he had freed me.
