people in attendance; the residents of the upland suburbs came down as well, and she was buried in al-Baqīʿ. (1)

Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid, on the authority of Qays, reported:
‘Āʾishah—who had previously hoped to be buried in her own house—said, “I have committed an act after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; so bury me with his other wives.” She was therefore buried in al-Baqīʿ. (2)

I say: by “the act” (3) she meant her setting out on the Day of the Camel. She felt total remorse for that and repented, and she had only done it after exercising interpretation and seeking what was good, just as Ṭalḥah ibn ʿUbaydillāh, al-Zubayr ibn al-ʿAwwām, and a group of eminent Companions did—may Allah be pleased with them all.

Ismāʿīl ibn ʿUlayyah narrated, through Abū Sufyān ibn al-ʿAlāʾ al-Māzinī, from Ibn Abī ʿAtīq, who said:
‘Āʾishah said, “When Ibn ʿUmar passes by, let me see him.” When he passed by her it was said, “This is Ibn ʿUmar.” She asked, “O Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, what kept you from forbidding me that expedition?” He replied, “I saw that a man had gained the upper hand over you”—meaning Ibn al-Zubayr. (4)

Some have claimed that she is buried to the west of the Great Mosque of Damascus. This is a grave error; she never went to Damascus at all. She is buried only in al-Baqīʿ.

Her lifespan was sixty-three years and some months.

A mention of a few of her loftily-supported narrations:
Abū al-Maʿālī Aḥmad ibn Isḥāq al-Abraqūhī informed us on more than one occasion; he was informed by Muḥammad
