Sahih al-Bukhari 2581
Narrated `Urwa from `Aisha:
The wives of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) were in two groups. One group consisted of `Aisha, Hafsa, Safiyya and 
Sauda; and the other group consisted of Um Salama and the other wives of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). The 
Muslims knew that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) loved `Aisha, so if any of them had a gift and wished to give to 
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), he would delay it, till Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had come to `Aisha's home and then he would 
send his gift to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in her home. The group of Um Salama discussed the matter together 
and decided that Um Salama should request Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to tell the people to send their gifts to him 
in whatever wife's house he was. Um Salama told Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of what they had said, but he did not 
reply. 
Then they (those wives) asked Um Salama 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 Aisha, as the Divine Inspirations do not come to me on any of the beds except that of 
Aisha." On that Um Salama said, "I repent to Allah for hurting you." Then the group of Um Salama 
called Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and sent her to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 Zainab bint Jahsh who went to him and used harsh 
words saying, "Your wives request you to treat them and the daughter of Ibn Abu Quhafa on equal 
terms." On that she raised her voice and abused `Aisha to her face so much so that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 
looked at `Aisha to see whether she would retort. `Aisha started replying to Zainab till she silenced 
her. The Prophet (ﷺ) then looked at `Aisha and said, "She is really the daughter of Abu Bakr."
