سنن نسائی · Hadith 3408

It was narrated from Umm Salamah that the wives of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم asked her to speak to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and tell him, that the people were trying to bring their gifts to him when it was ‘Aishah’s day, and to say to him: “We love good things as much as ‘Aishah does.” So she spoke to him, but he did not reply her. When her turn came again, she spoke to him again, but he did not reply her. They said to her: “How did he respond?” She said: “He did not answer me.” They said: “Do not leave him alone until he answers you or you comprehend what he says.” When her turn came again, she spoke to him and he said: ‘Do not bother me about ‘Aishah, for the Revelation has never come to me under the blanket of any of you apart from the blanket of ‘Aishah.” (Sahih) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: These two Hadiths of ‘Abdah are Sahih.
