Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا اسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ سَوْدَةُ فَأُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ بِمِنًى وَأُوَافِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِيءَ النَّاسُ فَقَالُوا لِعَائِشَةَ وَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ سَوْدَةُ قَالَتْ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ امْرَأَةً ثَقِيلَةً ثَبِطَةً فَأَذِنَ لَهَا.
English Translation
Muhammad bin Ubayd told us, saying Ubaydullah told us, from Abd al-Rahman bin al-Qasim, from his father, from Aisha, that she said: I wish I had asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, for permission as Sawdah asked him, so that I could pray the dawn prayer at Mina and arrive before the people came. It was said to Aisha: And Sawdah asked his permission? She said: She was a heavy, slow-moving woman, so he permitted her.
