حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ، عَنْ صَخْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَقُولُ " إِنَّ أَمْرَكُنَّ مِمَّا يُهِمُّنِي بَعْدِي وَلَنْ يَصْبِرَ عَلَيْكُنَّ إِلاَّ الصَّابِرُونَ " . قَالَ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ عَائِشَةُ فَسَقَى اللَّهُ أَبَاكَ مِنْ سَلْسَبِيلِ الْجَنَّةِ . تُرِيدُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَقَدْ كَانَ وَصَلَ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَالٍ يقالُ بِيعَتْ بِأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفًا . هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ .
Abu Salama Narrated from:
Narrated Abu Salamah: From 'Aishah That The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Used To Say: "Indeed Your Affair [Feminine Plural: Referring To The Wives Of The Prophet (ﷺ)] Is From That Which Concerns Me After Me, And None Shall Be Able To Be Patient Concerning You Except The Patient Ones." He Said: "Then 'Aishah Said: 'So May Allah Give Your Father Drink From The Salsabil Of Paradise" Intending 'Abdur-Rahman Bin 'Awf (Abu Salamah Is The Son Of 'Abdur-Rahman Bin 'Awf). And He Had Maintained Ties With The Wives Of The Prophet (ﷺ) With Property That Had Been Sold For Forty-Thousand.
[1] "Your" here is feminine plural, indicating that it refers to the Prophet's wives ﷺ.[2] Abū Salamah is the son of 'Abdur-Rahmān bin 'Awf.Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3749In-book reference : Book 49, Hadith 146English translation : Vol. 1, Book 46, Hadith 3749
Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3749
This Hadith about Abdur-Rahman bin Awf and the Mothers of the Believers shows care after the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said that the matter of his wives concerned him after him, and that none would be patient concerning them except the patient ones. Aishah then prayed that Allah give the father of Abu Salamah drink from the Salsabil of Paradise. She meant Abdur-Rahman bin Awf. The narration explains why: he maintained ties with the wives of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم through property sold for forty thousand. The main lesson stays close to the text. It shows patience, care, and support for the Prophet’s household.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم expressed concern for his wives after him.
- Patience was linked to caring for them.
