Narrated by Abu Wail : When 'Ali sent 'Ammar and Al-Hasan to (the people of) Kufa to urge them to fight, 'Ammar addressed them saying, "I know that she (i.e. 'Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha)) is the wife of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) in this world and in the Hereafter (world to come), but Allah has put you to test, whether you will follow Him (i.e. Allah) or her."

Hadith Number 117.

Narrated by 'Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha): That she borrowed a necklace from Asma' and it was lost. Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) sent some of his companions to look for it. During their journey the time of prayer was due and they prayed without ablution. When they returned to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) they complained about it. So the Divine Verse of Tayammum was revealed. Usaid bin Hudair said (to 'Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha)), "May Allah reward you handsomely. By Allah, whenever you have a difficulty, Allah took you out of it and brought with it, a Blessing for the Muslims."

He was anxious to be in 'Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha)'s home. 'Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha) said, "So when it was my day, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) became silent (no longer asked the question)."


Hadith Number 119.

Narrated by Hisham's father: The people used to send presents to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) on the day of 'Aishah’s (Radhi Allahu Anha) turn. 'Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha) said, "My companions (i.e. the other wives of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam)) gathered in the house of Um Salama and said, "0 Um Salama! By Allah, the people choose to send presents on the day of 'Aishah’s (Radhi Allahu Anha) turn and we too, love the good (i.e. presents etc.) as 'Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha) does. You should tell Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) 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 (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) and he turned away from her, and when the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) returned to her (i.e. Um Salama), she repeated the same, and the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) again turned away, and when she told him the same for the third time, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, "O Um Salama! Don't trouble me by harming 'Aishah (Radhi Allahu Anha), for by Allah, the Divine Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman amongst you except her."
