(2) باب مَا افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ وَحَرَّمَهُ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ لِيَزِيدَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ قُرْبَةً إِلَيْهِ .
Narrated 'Aishah:
It was narrated from 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet, that the Messenger of Allah came to her when Allah commanded him to give his wives the choice. 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah started with me and said: 'I am going to tell you something, but you do not have to rush until you consult your parents.'" She said: "He knew that my parents would not tell me to leave him." Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter, then come! I will make a provision for you and set you free in a handsome manner.' "I said: 'Do I need to consult my parents about this? I choose Allah and His Messenger, and the abode of the Hereafter.'" (DE)
