Hadith 122

‘There is no safety for me-ra than I-ra might happen to be her’. You laughed, and he-saww turned towards you and said: ‘Due to what are you laughing, O with the red-legs? I-saww reckon you would be her’. And we adjure you by Allah-azwj, O Ayesha! Do you remember the night of the ascension with us being with Rasool-Allah-azwj from such and such place, and he-saww was between me-saww and Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws narrating to us. Your camel entered, and it formed a barrier between him-saww and Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. So, he-saww raised a whip which was with him-saww and struck the face of your camel with it and said: ‘By Allah-azwj! It is not its day by one, nor its affliction from you by one. But by Allah-azwj! No one will hate him-asws except a hypocrite, a liar! ’
And I adjure you with Allah-azwj! Do you remember Rasool-Allah-saww fell ill during which he-saww passed away, your father came to him-asws to console him-saww and Umar was with him, and Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws was wearing a garment of Rasool-Allah-saww and his slippers, and his-asws socks, and was correcting (repairing) whatever was needed from it. He-asws had entered before them and taken the slippers, and these were from Hazramaut (Yemen), and he-asws was repairing these behind the house. They sought our permission to see him-saww, and he-saww permitted for them. They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! How are you this morning? ’ He-saww said: ‘I-saww have come to the morning praising Allah-azwj’. They said, ‘There is no escape from the death’. He-saww said: ‘Yes, there is no escape from it’. They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Have you-saww chosen anyone as a replacement (caliph)? ’ He-saww said: ‘No one will replace me-saww among you all except the repairer of the slipper’. They went out and passed by Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and he-asws was repairing the slippers of Rasool-Allah-saww. And all that, you know it, O Ayesha, and you were witnessing it’. Then Umm Salama-ra said, ‘O Ayesha! Should I-ra go out against Ali-asws after that which you have heard from Rasool-Allah-saww? ’ Ayesha returned to her house and said, ‘O Ibn Al-Zubeyr! Deliver it to them that I won’t be going out after what I have heard from Umm Salama-ra’. He returned and delivered it to them. He (the narrator) said, ‘Half the night had not gone by until we heard the growling of her camel departing, and she departed with them (Talha and Al-Zubeyr) both’’. [138]
