حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَی الْمَعْنَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ مُعَاذَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَأْذِنُنَا إِذَا کَانَ فِي يَوْمِ الْمَرْأَةِ مِنَّا بَعْدَمَا نَزَلَتْ تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشَائُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُؤْوِي إِلَيْکَ مَنْ تَشَائُ قَالَتْ مَعَاذَةُ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا مَا کُنْتِ تَقُولِينَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ کُنْتُ أَقُولُ إِنْ کَانَ ذَلِکَ إِلَيَّ لَمْ أُوثِرْ أَحَدًا عَلَی نَفْسِي
