2752 – Jaʿfar ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Yaʿqub narrated to us; he said: Muhammad ibn Harun al-Ruyani narrated to us; he said: Abu Kurayb narrated to us; he said: Abu Usamah, from Mujalid, from ʿAmir, from Masruq, from ʿAʾishah—may Allah be pleased with her—reported:

The Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—came in while I was crying and asked, “What is making you weep?” I replied, “Fatimah has spoken ill of me.” He said, “O Fatimah, have you insulted ʿAʾishah?” She answered, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Do you not love those whom I love and shun those whom I shun?” She replied, “Certainly.” He said, “I love ʿAʾishah, so love her.” She concluded, “I will never again say anything to ʿAʾishah that could hurt her.”
