باب مَا جَاءَ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ وَسُكْنَى الْبَدْوِ

English narration

Narrated by عائشة بنت أبي بكر الصديق

Miqdan bin Shuraih reported on the authority of his father. I asked Aishah about settling in the desert (to worship Allaah in loneliness). She said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would go out (from Madina) to these torrential streams. Once he intended to go out to the desert (for worshipping Allaah). He sent me a She-Camel from the Camels of sadaqah that was not used as a mount. He said to me “Aishah be lenient, for leniency makes a thing decorated and when it is removed from a thing it makes it defective.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُثْمَانُ ابْنَا أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عنها عَنِ الْبَدَاوَةِ ، فَقَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَبْدُو إِلَى هَذِهِ التِّلَاعِ وَإِنَّهُ أَرَادَ الْبَدَاوَةَ مَرَّةً فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ نَاقَةً مُحَرَّمَةً مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ لِي : "

يَا عَائِشَةُ ارْفُقِي فَإِنَّ الرِّفْقَ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَلَا نُزِعَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا شَانَهُ
