Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

In another version it states: “He would even slaughter a sheep and send to her intimate friends (1) enough of it to meet their needs.”

One narration says that when he slaughtered a sheep he would order, “Send it to Khadijah’s friends.”

In yet another report ʿĀʾishah said: Hālah bint Khuwaylid, Khadijah’s sister, once sought permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Recognizing the manner in which Khadijah used to ask permission (2), he was delighted and said, “O Allah, (here is) Hālah bint Khuwaylid!”

Her expression “fartaḥa” is written with a ḥāʾ. Al-Humaydī, in his work Joining the Two Ṣaḥīḥs, records it as “fartāʿa” with an ʿayn, meaning: he was moved by it.

349 – Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I set out on a journey with Jarīr ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Bajalī (may Allah be pleased with him), and he kept serving me (3). I said to him, “Do not do that.” He replied, “I saw the Helpers treat the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in just this way, so I have sworn that I will never travel with one of them without serving him.” Agreed upon by al-Bukhārī and Muslim.

Chapter: Honouring the Household of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and clarifying their virtue

Allah the Exalted says: “Allah only intends to remove impurity from you, O People of the Household, and to purify you completely.” (Al-Aḥzāb 33)

And He says: “Whoever venerates the symbols of Allah—indeed, that arises from the piety of hearts.” (Al-Ḥajj 32)

350 – Yazīd ibn Ḥayyān reported: I set out along with Ḥuṣayn ibn Sabrah and ʿAmr ibn Muslim

(1) The term is the plural of khalilah, meaning a trusted female companion. (2) That is: she reminded him of Khadijah because her tone of voice resembled Khadijah’s. The phrase "fa irtaha li-dhalik" means he became cheerful at her arrival and was pleased, as it recalled to him Khadijah and the days he spent with her—peace and blessings be upon him. (3) Meaning: he is older than I am. His word shay’an (“something”) refers to a matter so great that ordinary language cannot detail it. His phrase alaytu (“I have sworn”) indicates that I swore not to accompany any of them without serving him, in honor of the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him. (4) al-rijs denotes sin and wrongdoing.

وفي رواية : وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَذْبَحُ الشَّاةَ فَيُهْدِي فِي خَلَائِلِهَا (١) مِنْهَا مَا يَسَعُهُنَّ : وفي رواية كان إذا ذبح الشاة يقول : « أَرْسِلُوا بِهَا إِلَى أَصْدِقَاءِ خَدِيجَةَ » وفي رواية قالت : اسْتَأْذَنَتْ هَالَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ أُخْتُ خَدِيجَةَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَرَفَ اسْتِئْذَانَ خَدِيجَةَ (٢) فَارْتَاحَ لِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ : « اللَّهُمَّ هَالَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ » . قَوْلُهَا « فَارْتَاحَ » هُوَ بِالْحَاءِ . وفي الجمع بَيْنَ الصَّحِيحَيْنِ لِلْحُمَيْدِيِّ : « فَارْتَاعَ » بِالْعَيْنِ وَمَعْنَاهُ : اهْتَمَّ بِهِ . ٣٤٩ - وعن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال : خرجت مع جرير بن عبد الله الْبَجَلِيِّ رضي الله عنه في سَفَرٍ فَكَانَ يَخْدُمُنِي (٣) فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : لَا تَفْعَلْ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْأَنْصَارَ تَصْنَعُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا آلَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي أَنْ لَا أَصْحَبَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا خَدَمْتُهُ . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ . ٤٣ - باب إكرام أهل بيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وبيان فضلهم قال الله تعالى : ﴿ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ (٤) أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا ﴾ [ الأحزاب : ٣٣ ] وقال تعالى : ﴿ وَمَنْ يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ ﴾ [ الحج : ٣٢ ] . ٣٥٠ - وعن يزيد بن حَيَّانَ قال : انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَحُصَيْنُ بْنُ سَبْرَةَ ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ
