Sahih Al Bukhari (574)

عن عروة عن عائشة رضي الله عنها "أن نساء رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) كن حزبين فحزب فيه عائشة وحفصة وصفية وسودة والحزب الآخر أم سلمة وسائر نساء رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) وكان المسلمون قد علموا حب رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) عائشة فإذا كانت عند أحدهم هدية يريد أن يهديها إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) أخرها حتى إذا كان رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) في بيت عائشة بعث صاحب الهدية بها إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) في بيت عائشة فكلم حزب أم سلمة فقلن لها كلمي رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) يكلم الناس فيقول من أراد أن يهدي إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) هدية فليهده إليه حيث كان من بيوت نسائه فكلمته أم سلمة بما قلن فلم يقل لها شيئا فسألنها فقالت ما قال لي شيئا فقلن لها فكلميه قالت فكلمته حين دار إليها أيضا فلم يقل لها شيئا فسألنها فقالت ما قال لي شيئا فقلن لها كلميه حتى يكلمك فدار إليها فكلمته فقال لها لا تؤذيني في عائشة فإن الوحي لم يأتني وأنا في ثوب امرأة إلا عائشة قالت فقالت أتوب إلى الله من أذاك يا رسول الله ثم إنهن دعون فاطمة بنت رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) فأرسلت إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) تقول إن نساءك ينشدنك الله العدل في بنت أبي بكر فكلمته فقال يا بنية ألا تحبين ما أحب قالت بلى فرجعت إليهن فأخبرتهن فقلن ارجعي إليه فأبت أن ترجع فأرسلن زينب بنت جحش فأتته فأغلظت وقالت إن نساءك ينشدنك الله العدل في بنت ابن أبي قحافة فرفعت صوتها حتى تناولت عائشة وهي قاعدة فسبتها حتى إن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) لينظر إلى عائشة هل تكلم قال فتكلمت عائشة ترد على زينب حتى أسكتتها قالت فنظر النبي (صلى الله عليه وسلم) إلى عائشة وقال إنها بنت أبي بكر"

`Urwah narrated on the authority of `A'ishah: The wives of Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) were in two groups. One group consisted of `A'ishah, Hafsah, Safiyyah and Sawdah; and the other group consisted of Um Salama and the other wives of Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him). The Muslims knew that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) loved `A'ishah, so if any of them had a gift and wished to give to Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him), he would delay it, till Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) had come to `A'ishah's home and then he would send his gift to Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) in her home. The group of Um Salamah discussed the matter together and decided that Um Salamah should request Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) to tell the people to send their gifts to him in whatever wife's house he was. Um Salamah told Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) of what they had said, but he did not reply. Then they (those wives) asked Um Salamah about it. She said: "He did not say anything to me." They asked her to talk to him again. She talked to him again when she met him on her day, but he gave no reply. When they asked her, she replied that he had given no reply. They said to her: "Talk to him till he gives you a reply." When it was her turn, she talked to him again. He then said to her: "Do not hurt me regarding `A'ishah, as the Divine Inspirations do not come to me on any of the beds except that of `A'ishah." On that Um Salamah said: "I repent to Allah for hurting you." Then the group of Um Salama hcalled Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) and sent her to Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) to say to him: "Your wives request to treat them and the daughter of Abu Bakr on equal terms." Then Fatima conveyed the message to him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "O my daughter! Don't you love whom I love?" She replied in the affirmative and returned and told them of the situation. They requested her to go to him again but she refused. They then sent Zaynab bint Jahsh who went to him and used harsh words saying: "Your wives request you to treat them and the daughter of Ibn Abu Quhafah on equal terms." On that she raised her voice and abused `A'ishah to her face so much so that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) looked at `A'ishah to see whether she would retort. `A'ishah started replying to Zaynab till she silenced her. The Prophet (peace be upon him) then looked at `A'ishah and said: "She is really the daughter of Abu Bakr."
