English narration
Narrated by عمر بن الخطاب العدوي
I intended to ask `Umar about those two ladies who back each other against 'Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . For one year I was seeking the opportunity to ask this question, but in vain, until once when I accompanied him for Hajj. While we were in Zahran, `Umar went to answer the call of nature and told me to follow him with some water for ablution. So I followed him with a container of water and started pouring water for him. I found it a good opportunity to ask him, so I said, "O chief of the Believers! Who were those two ladies who had backed each other (against the Prophet)?" Before I could complete my question, he replied, "They were `Aisha and Hafsa."
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ حُنَيْنٍ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، يَقُولُ : كُنْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْمَرْأَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ تَظَاهَرَتَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَمَكَثْتُ سَنَةً ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ لَهُ مَوْضِعًا حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ حَاجًّا ، فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِظَهْرَانَ ذَهَبَ عُمَرُ لِحَاجَتِهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَدْرِكْنِي بِالْوَضُوءِ فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ بِالْإِدَاوَةِ ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَسْكُبُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ ، وَرَأَيْتُ مَوْضِعًا ، فَقُلْتُ : "
يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، مَنِ الْمَرْأَتَانِ اللَّتَانِ تَظَاهَرَتَا ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : فَمَا أَتْمَمْتُ كَلَامِي حَتَّى ، قَالَ :
" عَائِشَةُ وَحَفْصَةُ " .
