near Him and shelter him with His Screen and ask him: Did
you commit such-and-such sins? He will say: Yes, my Lord.

sins and will think that he is ruined. Allah will say: 'I
did screen your sins in the world and I forgive them for
you today', and then he will be given the book of his good
deeds. Regarding infidels and hypocrites (their evil acts
will be exposed publicly) and the witnesses will say:
These are the people who lied against their Lord. Behold!
The Curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers." (11.18)

Volume 3, Book 43, Number 648:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
I had been eager to ask 'Umar about the two ladies from
among the wives of the Prophet regarding whom Allah said
(in the Qur'an saying): If you two (wives of the Prophet
namely Aisha and Hafsa) turn in repentance to Allah your
hearts are indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet
likes) (66.4), till performed the Hajj along with 'Umar
(and on our way back from Hajj) he went aside (to answer
the call of nature) and I also went aside along with him
carrying a tumbler of water. When he had answered the call
of nature and returned. I poured water on his hands from
the tumbler and he performed ablution. I said, "O Chief of
the believers! ' Who were the two ladies from among the
wives of the Prophet to whom Allah said:
'If you two return in repentance (66.4)? He said, "I am
astonished at your question, O Ibn 'Abbas. They were Aisha
and Hafsa."
Then 'Umar went on relating the narration and said. "I
and an Ansari neighbor of mine from Bani Umaiya bin Zaid
who used to live in 'Awali Al-Medina, used to visit the
Prophet in turns. He used to go one day, and I another
day. When I went I would bring him the news of what had
happened that day regarding the instructions and orders
and when he went, he used to do the same for me. We, the
people of Quraish, used to have authority over women, but
when we came to live with the Ansar, we noticed that the
Ansari women had the upper hand over their men, so our
women started acquiring the habits of the Ansari women.
Once I shouted at my wife and she paid me back in my coin
and I disliked that she should answer me back. She said,
'Why do you take it ill that I retort upon you? By Allah,
the wives of the Prophet retort upon him, and some of them
may not speak with him for the whole day till night.' What
she said scared me and I said to her, 'Whoever amongst
them does so, will be a great loser.' Then I dressed
myself and went to Hafsa and asked her, 'Does any of you
keep Allah's Apostle angry all the day long till night?'
She replied in the affirmative. I said, 'She is a ruined
losing person (and will never have success)! Doesn't she
fear that Allah may get angry for the anger of Allah's
Apostle and thus she will be ruined? Don't ask Allah's
Apostle too many things, and don't retort upon him in any
case, and don't desert him. Demand from me whatever you
like, and don't be tempted to imitate your neighbor (i.e.
'Aisha) in her behavior towards the Prophet), for she
(i.e. Aisha) is more beautiful than you, and more beloved
to Allah's Apostle.
In those days it was rumored that Ghassan, (a tribe
living in Sham) was getting prepared their horses to
invade us. My companion went (to the Prophet on the day of
his turn, went and returned to us at night and knocked at
my door violently, asking whether I was sleeping. I was
scared (by the hard knocking) and came out to him. He said
that a great thing had happened. I asked him: What is it?
Have Ghassan come? He replied that it was worse and more
serious than that, and added that Allah's Apostle had
divorced all his wives. I said, Hafsa is a ruined loser! I
expected that would happen some day.' So I dressed myself
and offered the Fajr prayer with the Prophet. Then the
Prophet entered an upper room and stayed there alone. I
went to Hafsa and found her weeping. I asked her, 'Why are
you weeping? Didn't I warn you? Have Allah's Apostle
divorced you all?' She replied, 'I don't know. He is there
in the upper room.' I then went out and came to the pulpit
and found a group of people around it and some of them
were weeping. Then I sat with them for some time, but
could not endure the situation. So I went to the upper
room where the Prophet was and requested to a black slave
of his: "Will you get the permission of (Allah's Apostle)
for Umar (to enter)? The slave went in, talked to the
Prophet about it and came out saying, 'I mentioned you to
him but he did not reply.' So, I went and sat with the
people who were sitting by the pulpit, but I could not
bear the situation, so I went to the slave again and said:
"Will you get he permission for Umar? He went in and
brought the same reply as before. When I was leaving,
behold, the slave called me saying, "Allah's Apostle has
granted you permission." So, I entered upon the Prophet
and saw him lying on a mat without wedding on it, and the
mat had left its mark on the body of the Prophet, and he
was leaning on a leather pillow stuffed with palm fires. I
greeted him and while still standing, I said: "Have you
divorced your wives?' He raised his eyes to me and replied
in the negative. And then while still standing, I said
chatting: "Will you heed what I say, 'O Allah's Apostle!
We, the people of Quraish used to have the upper hand over
our women (wives), and when we came to the people whose
women had the upper hand over them..."
'Umar told the whole story (about his wife). "On that
the Prophet smiled." 'Umar further said, "I then said, 'I
went to Hafsa and said to her: Do not be tempted to
imitate your companion ('Aisha) for she is more beautiful
than you and more beloved to the Prophet.' The Prophet
smiled again. When I saw him smiling, I sat down and cast
a glance at the room, and by Allah, I couldn't see
anything of importance but three hides. I said (to Allah's
Apostle) "Invoke Allah to make your followers prosperous
for the Persians and the Byzantines have been made
prosperous and given worldly luxuries, though they do not
worship Allah?' The Prophet was leaning then (and on
hearing my speech he sat straight) and said, 'O Ibn Al-Khatttab!
Do you have any doubt (that the Hereafter is better than
this world)? These people have been given rewards of their
good deeds in this world only.' I asked the Prophet .
'Please ask Allah's forgiveness for me. The Prophet did
not go to his wives because of the secret which Hafsa had
disclosed to 'Aisha, and he said that he would not go to
his wives for one month as he was angry with them when
Allah admonished him (for his oath that he would not
approach Maria). When twenty-nine days had passed, the
Prophet went to Aisha first of all. She said to him, 'You
took an oath that you would not come to us for one month,
and today only twenty-nine days have passed, as I have
been counting them day by day.' The Prophet said, 'The
month is also of twenty-nine days.' That month consisted
of twenty-nine days. 'Aisha said, 'When the Divine
revelation of Choice was revealed, the Prophet started
with me, saying to me, 'I am telling you something, but
you needn't hurry to give the reply till you can consult
your parents." 'Aisha knew that her parents would not
advise her to part with the Prophet . The Prophet said
that Allah had 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.
But if you seek Allah And His Apostle, and The Home of the
Hereafter, then Verily, Allah has prepared For the
good-doers amongst you A great reward.' (33.28) 'Aisha
said, 'Am I to consult my parents about this? I indeed
prefer Allah, His Apostle, and the Home of the Hereafter.'
After that the Prophet gave the choice to his other wives
and they also gave the same reply as 'Aisha did."
Volume 3, Book 43, Number 649:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle took an oath that he would not go to
his wives for one month as his foot had been sprained. He
stayed in an upper room when 'Umar went to him and said,
"Have you divorced your wives?" He said, "No, but I have
taken an oath that I would not go to them for one month."

came down and went to his wives.

his mother. She came to him the second time and called him
and said, "O Allah! Do not let him die until he sees the
faces of prostitutes." Juraij used to live in a hermitage.
A woman said that she would entice Juraij, so she went to
him and presented herself (for an evil act) but he
refused. She then went to a shepherd and allowed him to
commit an illegal sexual intercourse with her and later
she gave birth to a boy. She alleged that the baby was
from Juraij. The people went to Juraij and broke down his
hermitage, pulled him out of it and abused him. He
performed ablution and offered the prayer, then he went to
the male (baby) and asked him; "O boy! Who is your
father?" The baby replied that his father was the
shepherd. The people said that they would build for him a
hermitage of gold but Juraij asked them to make it of mud
only."
