Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ { إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ } دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَدَأَ بِي فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا فَلَا عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لَا تَعْجَلِي فِيهِ حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ قَالَتْ قَدْ عَلِمَ وَاللَّهِ لَمْ يَكُونَا لِيَأْمُرَانِي بِفِرَاقِهِ قَالَتْ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيَّ { يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا } فَقُلْتُ أَفِي هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَيَّ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Ma'mar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from Aisha, who said: When {If you desire Allah and His Messenger...} was revealed, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came in to me and began with me first, and said: O Aisha, I am going to mention something to you, but there is no harm if you do not hasten in it until you consult your parents. She said: He knew, by Allah, that they would not order me to part from him. She said: Then he recited to me: {O Prophet, say to your wives: If you desire the worldly life and its adornment...} So I said: Shall I consult my parents about this? I desire Allah, Mighty and Sublime, and His Messenger, and the abode of the Hereafter.
