Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ وَبَهْزٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ عَفَّانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ خَدِيجَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَقَدْ أَعْقَبَكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ امْرَأَةٍ قَالَ عَفَّانُ مِنْ عَجُوزَةٍ مِنْ عَجَائِزِ قُرَيْشٍ مِنْ نِسَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ حَمْرَاءِ الشِّدْقَيْنِ هَلَكَتْ فِي الدَّهْرِ قَالَتْ فَتَمَعَّرَ وَجْهُهُ تَمَعُّرًا مَا كُنْتُ أَرَاهُ إِلَّا عِنْدَ نُزُولِ الْوَحْيِ أَوْ عِنْدَ الْمَخِيلَةِ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ أَرَحْمَةٌ أَمْ عَذَابٌ.
English Translation
Aisha said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned Khadijah, so I said, "Has Allah, Mighty and Majestic, not given you a better substitute than her" - meaning an old woman among the old women of Quraysh, red-cheeked, who had died long ago? She said: His face changed color in a way I had never seen except at the descent of revelation, or when he looked at storm clouds to see whether they brought mercy or punishment.
