Siyar Aʿlām al-NubalāʾShams al‑Din al‑Dhahabi

and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ camped with the people. When it was time to resume the journey, he said to Zaynab bint Jahsh, “Lend your sister a camel”—she had the greatest number of mounts among them. She replied, “Am I to lend a mount to your Jewess?” The Prophet ﷺ became angry and did not speak to her until they returned to Medina; throughout Muḥarram and Ṣafar he neither visited her nor allotted her a turn, so she lost hope of his favor.

When Rabīʿ al-Awwal arrived he entered upon her. As soon as she saw him she said, “O Messenger of Allah, what shall I do?” She had a slave-girl whom she used to keep out of his sight, so she offered, “She is yours.” The Prophet ﷺ then walked to her couch—which had been put away—set it in place with his own hand, and was reconciled with his household (1).

Al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Ḥasan reported: Isrāʾīl told us, from Abū Isḥāq, from Mālik ibn Mālik, from Safiyyah bint Huyayy, who said: “I asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, every one of your wives has relatives to rely on except me. If something happens to you, to whom shall I turn?’ He replied, ‘To ʿAlī (2).’” This is a singular (gharīb) report.

(1) Reported by Ahmad, al-Musnad, 6/337-338. Shamisiyya—or Sumayya—is an unknown narrator, while the remaining transmitters are trustworthy. Ibn Saʿd also records it in al-Tabaqat, 8/126-127, through ʿAffan b. Muslim, from Hammad b. Salama, from Thabit, from Shamisah, from ʿAʾishah with a similar wording. The phrase “afqari ukhtaki” means: “lend it to your sister to ride.” A parallel occurs in the hadith of Jabir, who sold his camel and the Prophet “afqarahu” its back until they reached Madinah. The verb derives from riding on the fuqar (vertebrae) of the back; the singular is fuqara. (2) Chain of transmission: very weak. Al-Husayn b. al-Hasan (al-Ashqar al-Kufi): al-Bukhari said, “He is questionable”; Abu Zurʿah, “his hadith is munkar”; Abu Hatim, “not strong”; al-Nasaʾi and al-Daraqutni, “weak.” As for Malik b. Malik, al-Bukhari notes in al-Tarikh al-Kabir, 7/311, after citing this very hadith: “Malik is known only by this single report, and no one corroborates him.” The author of al-Mizan likewise writes: “His identity is unknown.”
رَسُوْلُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالنَّاسِ؛ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الرَّوَاحِ، قَالَ لِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ: (أَفْقِرِي أُخْتَكِ جَمَلاً) - وَكَانَتْ مِنْ أَكْثَرِهِنَّ ظَهْراً -. فَقَالَتْ: أَنَا أُفْقِرُ يَهُوْدِيَّتَكَ! فَغَضِبَ ﷺ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهَا حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى المَدِيْنَةِ، وَمُحَرَّمَ، وَصَفَرَ؛ فَلَمْ يَأْتِهَا، وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَهَا، وَيَئِسَتْ مِنْهُ. فَلَمَّا كَانَ رَبِيْعٌ الأَوَّلُ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا؛ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ، قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ، مَا أَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ لَهَا جَارِيَةٌ تَخْبَؤُهَا مِنْ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ، فَقَالَتْ: هِيَ لَكَ. قَالَ: فَمَشَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى سَرِيْرِهَا، وَكَانَ قَدْ رُفِعَ، فَوَضَعَهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَرَضِيَ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ (١) . الحُسَيْنُ بنُ الحَسَنِ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيْلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ حُيَيٍّ، قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ، لَيْسَ مِنْ نِسَائِكَ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ وَلَهَا عَشِيْرَةٌ؛ فَإِنْ حَدَثَ بِكَ حَدَثٌ، فَإِلَى مَنْ أَلْجَأُ؟ قَالَ: (إِلَى عَلِيٍّ (٢)) ﵁. هَذَا غَرِيْبٌ.
(١) أخرجه أحمد في " المسند " ٦ / ٣٣٧، ٣٣٨. وشمسية أو سمية لا تعرف، وبقية رجاله ثقات، وأخرجه ابن سعد في " الطبقات " ٨ / ١٢٦، ١٢٧، من طريق عفان بن مسلم، عن حماد بن سلمة، عن ثابت، عن شميسة عن عائشة بنحوه، وقوله: أفقري أختك، أي: أعيريها إياه للركوب، ومنه حديث جابر أنه اشترى منه بعيرا وأفقره ظهره إلى المدينة، مأخوذ من ركوب فقار الظهر، وهو خرزاته، والواحدة فقارة. (٢) إسناده ضعيف جدا، الحسين بن الحسن هو الاشقر الكوفي، قال البخاري: فيه نظر، وقال أبو زرعة: منكر الحديث، وقال أبو حاتم: ليس بقوي، وقال النسائي والدارقطني: ليس بالقوي، ومالك بن مالك: قال البخاري في التاريخ الكبير ٧ / ٣١١ بعد أن أورد حديثه هذا: ولا يعرف مالك إلا بهذا الحديث الواحد، ولم يتابع عليه، وترجمه المؤلف في " ميزانه " وقال: لا يدرى من هو.
