Shahih Bukhari - 2288

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Bukair] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Laits] dari ['Uqail] dari [Ibnu Syihab] berkata, telah menceritakan kepadaku ['Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin Abu Tsaur] dari ['Abdullah bin 'Abbas radliallahu 'anhuma] berkata: "Aku selalu antusias untuk bertanya kepada ['Umar] tentang dua wanita diantara isteri-isteri Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam yang Allah berfirman kepada keduanya: ("Jika kamu berdua bertaubat kepada Allah, maka sesungguhnya hati kamu berdua telah condong (untuk menerima kebaikan) …QS At-Tahrim 4). Maka aku kunjungi dia namun dia menghindar dan aku susul dia dengan membawa kantong terbuat dari kulit berisi air hingga dia datang, lalu aku tuangkan air dari kantong air tadi keatas kedua tangannya hingga dia berwudhu' lalu aku tanya: "Wahai amirul mu'minin, siapakah dua wanita dari isteri Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam yang Allah berfirman kepadanya ("Jika kamu berdua bertaubat kepada Allah, maka sesungguhnya hati kamu berdua telah condong (untuk menerima kebaikan) …), maka dia menjawab: "Aku heran kepadamu wahai Ibnu 'Abbas!, dia adalah 'Aisyah dan Hafshah". Kemudian 'Umar menyebutkan hadits, katanya: "Aku dan tetanggaku dari Anshar berada di desa Banu Umayyah bin Zaid, termasuk suku kepercayaan di Madinah dan kami saling bergantian menemui Rasul shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Sehari aku yang menemui Beliau shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, hari lain dia yang menemui Beliau shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Jika giliranku menemui Beliau, aku menanyakan seputar wahyu yang turun hari itu dan perkara lainnya. Dan jika giliran tetangguku itu, ia pun melakukan hal sama. Kami adalah kaum Quraisy yang bisa menundukkan para isteri, hingga ketika kami mendatangi Kaum Anshar, ternyata mereka adalah sebuah kaum yang ditundukkan oleh isteri-isteri mereka. Lalu isteri-isteri kami segera saja meniru kebiasaan wanita Anshar tersebut. Suatu hari aku nasehati isteriku tapi dia membantahku dan aku larang dia membantahku tapi dia berkata: "Kenapa kamu melarang aku membantahmu? Demi Allah, sesungguhnya hari ini isteri-isteri Nabi Shallallahu 'alaihiwasallam telah membantah Beliau bahkan seorang dari mereka tidak berbicara kepada Beliau hingga malam hari". Aku kaget mendengar itu lalu aku katakan: "Sangat celakalah diantara kalian orang yang berbuat hal seperti ini". Kemudian aku bergegas untuk menemui Hafshah lalu aku bertanya: "Wahai Hafshah, apakah salah seorang dari kalian hari ini telah membantah Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam hingga malam hari?" Dia menjawab: "Iya". Aku katakan: "Celaka dan rugilah. Apakah kalian merasa aman dari murka Allah disebabkan RasulNya shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam marah lalu kalian menjadi binasa? Janganlah kalian menuntut terlalu banyak kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan jangan kalian membantahnya tentang suatu apapun dan jangan pula kalian menghindar untuk berbicara dengan Beliau. Mintalah kepadaku apa yang menjadi keperluanmu dan jangan kamu cemburu bila ada (isteri Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam), madu kamu, yang lebih cantik dan lebih dicintai oleh Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ". Yang dimaksudkannya adalah 'Aisyah radliallahu 'anha. Suatu hari kami membicarakan suku Ghossan sebagai tukang sepatu yang biasanya menyiapkan sepatu kami untuk perang. Maka sahabatku pergi (menemui Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) pada hari gilirannya lalu dia kembali pada waktu 'Isya dengan mengetuk rumahku dengan sangat keras seraya berkata: "Apakah dia sudah tidur?" Aku kaget lalu keluar menemuinya. Dia berkata: "Telah terjadi masalah besar". Aku bertanya: "Masalah apa itu? Apakah suku Ghassan sudah datang?" Dia menjawab: "Bukan, bahkan urusannya lebih penting dan lebih panjang dari masalah itu. Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam telah menceraikan isteri-isteri Beliau. 'Umar berkata: "Sungguh celaka dan rugilah Hafshah. Aku mengira hal ini tidak akan terjadi. Maka aku lipat pakaianku kemudian aku shalat Shubuh bersama Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam lalu Beliau memasuki bilik yang tinggi dan mengasingkan diri disana. Maka aku menemui Hafshah yang ternyata sedang menangis lalu aku bertanya: "Apa yang membuatmu menangis, bukankah aku sudah peringatkan kamu? Apakah Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam telah menceraikan kalian?" Dia menjawab: "Aku tidak tahu, sekarang Beliau berada di tempat pengasingannya". Maka aku keluar lalu mendatangi mimbar ternyata di sekelilingnya ada sejumlah orang (kurang dari sepuluh) yang sedang berkumpul diantaranya ada yang menangis. Maka aku duduk bersama mereka sebentar lalu aku sangat ingin mendatangi tempat pengasingan tempat Beliau berdiam disana. Aku katakan kepada Aswad, anak kecil pembantu Beliau: "Mintakanlah izin untuk 'Umar?" Maka dia masuk dan berbicara dengan Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam lalu keluar dan berkata: "Aku sudah sampaikan tentang maksudmu namun Beliau diam saja". Maka kemudian aku kembali dan berkumpul bersama orang-orang yang berada dekat mimbar. Sesaat kemudian timbul lagi keinginanku maka aku temui anak kecil itu lalu aku sampaikan maksudku seperti tadi dan diapun menjawab seperti tadi pula. Maka aku kembali duduk bersama orang-orang yang berada dekat mimbar. Ternyata timbul lagi keinginanku, maka aku datangi lagi anak kecil itu dan aku katakan: "Mintakanlah izin untuk 'Umar?" Maka dia menjawab seperti tadi pula. Ketika aku hendak kembali, anak kecil itu memanggilku dan berkata: "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengizinkan kamu masuk". Maka aku masuk menemui Beliau yang ketika itu Beliau sedang berbaring diatas pasir sebagai kasurnya, dan tidak ada kasur yang menengahi antara pasir dan beliau sehingga pasir itu membekas pada sisi badan Beliau, Beliau bersandar diatas bantal yang terbuat dari kulit yang isinya sabut. Aku memberi salam kepada Beliau lalu aku berkata dalam posisi tetap berdiri: "Apakah anda telah menceraikan isteri-isteri anda". Maka Beliau memandang ke arahku lalu berkata: "Tidak". Kemudian aku katakan: "Apakah anda merasa tidak enak karena melihat aku?" Kami ini adalah orang Quraisy yang biasa menundukkan isteri-isteri. Ketika kami datang disini bertemu dengan Kaum yang mereka ditundukkan oleh isteri-isteri mereka". Maka 'Umar menceritakan. Lalu Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam tersenyum. Kemudian aku katakan: "Bagaimana seandainya anda melihatku menemui Hafshah dan aku katakan kepadanya: "Jangan kamu cemburu bila ada (isteri Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam), madu kamu, yang lebih cantik dan lebih dicintai oleh Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ". Yang dimaksudkan Umar adalah 'Aisyah radliallahu 'anha. Maka Beliau tersenyum lagi. Lalu aku duduk ketika melihat Beliau tersenyum lalu aku memandang ke rumah Beliau. Demi Allah, aku tidak melihat apapun disana, karena mataku bolak balik melihat tidak kurang dari tiga kali. Lalu aku katakan: "Mintalah kepada Allah agar melapangkan dunia buat ummat anda karena bangsa Persia dan Ramawi saja dilapangkan dan diberikan dunia padahal mereka tidak menyembah Allah". Saat itu Beliau sedang berbaring lalu berkata: "Apakah kamu ragu wahai Ibnu Al Khaththob? Mereka itulah kaum yang telah disegerakan kebaikan mereka dalam kehidupan dunia ini". Aku katakan: "Wahai Rasulullah, mohonkanlah ampun buatku". Ternyata disebabkan kalimatku seperti tadilah Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengasingkan diri ketika Hafshah menyampaikannya kepada 'Aisyah radliallahu 'anha. Sebelumnya Beliau telah berkata: Aku tidak akan tinggal bersama mereka selama satu bulan karena disebabkan kesalnya Beliau terhadap mereka setelah Allah menegur Beliau. Ketika telah berlalu masa selama dua puluh sembilan hari, yang pertama kali Beliau datangi adalah 'Aisyah. Maka 'Aisyah berkata, kepada Beliau: "Anda sudah bersumpah untuk tidak mendatangi kami selama satu bulan, sedangkan hari ini kita baru melewati malam kedua puluh sembilan, aku sudah menghitungnya". Maka Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berkata: "Bulan ini berjumlah dua puluh sembilan hari". Pada bulan itu memang berjumlah dua puluh sembilan hari. Kemudian 'Aisyah radliallahu 'anha berkata: "Maka turunlah ayat takhyiir (pilihan). Maka Beliau memulainya dari aku sebagai yang pertama dari isteri-isteri Beliau. Beliau berkata: "Sesungguhnya aku mengingatkan kamu pada suatu urusan yaitu janganlah kamu tergesa-gesa hingga kamu meminta pendapat kedua orangtuamu". 'Aisyah radliallahu 'anha berkata: "Aku sudah mengetahui bahwa kedua orangtuaku tidaklah menyuruh aku untuk bercerai dari anda" Kemudian Beliau berkata: "Sesungguhnya Allah telah berfirman: ("Wahai Nabi, katakanlah kepada isteri-isterimu … hingga sampai pada firmanNya … pahala yang besar) QS Al Ahzab: 28 -29). Aisyah radliallahu 'anha berkata: "Apakah begitu kedua orangtuaku memerintahkannya? Sungguh aku lebih memilih Allah, RasulNya dan kehidupan akhirat". Kemudian para isteri Beliau memilih hal yang sama lalu mereka berkata, seperti yang diucapkan 'Aisyah radliallahu 'anha. (HR. Bukhari: 2288)

Narrated ʿAbdullah bin ʿAbbas: I had been eager to ask ʿUmar about the two ladies from among the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding whom Allah said (in the Qurʾan saying): If you two (wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) namely ʿAisha and Hafsa) turn in repentance to Allah your hearts are indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet (ﷺ) likes) (66.4), till performed the Hajj along with ʿUmar (and on our way back from Hajj) he went aside (to answer the call of nature) and I also went aside along with him carrying a tumbler of water. When he had answered the call of nature and returned. I poured water on his hands from the tumbler and he performed ablution. I said, "O Chief of the believers! ' Who were the two ladies from among the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) to whom Allah said: 'If you two return in repentance (66.4)? He said, "I am astonished at your question, O Ibn ʿAbbas. They were ʿAisha and Hafsa." Then ʿUmar went on relating the narration and said. "I and an Ansari neighbor of mine from Bani Umaiya bin Zaid who used to live in ʿAwali Al-Medina, used to visit the Prophet (ﷺ) in turns. He used to go one day, and I another day. When I went I would bring him the news of what had happened that day regarding the instructions and orders and when he went, he used to do the same for me. We, the people of Quraish, used to have authority over women, but when we came to live with the Ansar, we noticed that the Ansari women had the upper hand over their men, so our women started acquiring the habits of the Ansari women. Once I shouted at my wife and she paid me back in my coin and I disliked that she should answer me back. She said, 'Why do you take it ill that I retort upon you? By Allah, the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) retort upon him, and some of them may not speak with him for the whole day till night.' What she said scared me and I said to her, 'Whoever amongst them does so, will be a great loser.' Then I dressed myself and went to Hafsa and asked her, 'Does any of you keep Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) angry all the day long till night?' She replied in the affirmative. I said, 'She is a ruined losing person (and will never have success)! Doesn't she fear that Allah may get angry for the anger of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and thus she will be ruined? Don't ask Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) too many things, and don't retort upon him in any case, and don't desert him. Demand from me whatever you like, and don't be tempted to imitate your neighbor (i.e. ʿAisha) in her behavior towards the Prophet (ﷺ)), for she (i.e. Aisha) is more beautiful than you, and more beloved to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). In those days it was rumored that Ghassan, (a tribe living in Sham) was getting prepared their horses to invade us. My companion went (to the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of his turn, went and returned to us at night and knocked at my door violently, asking whether I was sleeping. I was scared (by the hard knocking) and came out to him. He said that a great thing had happened. I asked him: What is it? Have Ghassan come? He replied that it was worse and more serious than that, and added that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had divorced all his wives. I said, Hafsa is a ruined loser! I expected that would happen some day.' So I dressed myself and offered the Fajr prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered an upper room and stayed there alone. I went to Hafsa and found her weeping. I asked her, 'Why are you weeping? Didn't I warn you? Have Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) divorced you all?' She replied, 'I don't know. He is there in the upper room.' I then went out and came to the pulpit and found a group of people around it and some of them were weeping. Then I sat with them for some time, but could not endure the situation. So I went to the upper room where the Prophet (ﷺ) was and requested to a black slave of his: "Will you get the permission of (Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) for ʿUmar (to enter)? The slave went in, talked to the Prophet (ﷺ) about it and came out saying, 'I mentioned you to him but he did not reply.' So, I went and sat with the people who were sitting by the pulpit, but I could not bear the situation, so I went to the slave again and said: "Will you get he permission for ʿUmar? He went in and brought the same reply as before. When I was leaving, behold, the slave called me saying, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has granted you permission." So, I entered upon the Prophet (ﷺ) and saw him lying on a mat without wedding on it, and the mat had left its mark on the body of the Prophet (ﷺ), and he was leaning on a leather pillow stuffed with palm fires. I greeted him and while still standing, I said: "Have you divorced your wives?' He raised his eyes to me and replied in the negative. And then while still standing, I said chatting: "Will you heed what I say, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We, the people of Quraish used to have the upper hand over our women (wives), and when we came to the people whose women had the upper hand over them..." ʿUmar told the whole story (about his wife). "On that the Prophet (ﷺ) smiled." ʿUmar further said, "I then said, 'I went to Hafsa and said to her: Do not be tempted to imitate your companion (ʿAisha) for she is more beautiful than you and more beloved to the Prophet (ﷺ).' the Prophet smiled again. When I saw him smiling, I sat down and cast a glance at the room, and by Allah, I couldn't see anything of importance but three hides. I said (to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) "Invoke Allah to make your followers prosperous for the Persians and the Byzantines have been made prosperous and given worldly luxuries, though they do not worship Allah?' the Prophet (ﷺ) was leaning then (and on hearing my speech he sat straight) and said, 'O Ibn Al-Khatttab! Do you have any doubt (that the Hereafter is better than this world)? These people have been given rewards of their good deeds in this world only.' I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) . 'Please ask Allah's forgiveness for me. The Prophet did not go to his wives because of the secret which Hafsa had disclosed to ʿAisha, and he said that he would not go to his wives for one month as he was angry with them when Allah admonished him (for his oath that he would not approach Maria). When twenty-nine days had passed, the Prophet (ﷺ) went to ʿAisha first of all. She said to him, 'You took an oath that you would not come to us for one month, and today only twenty-nine days have passed, as I have been counting them day by day.' the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'The month is also of twenty-nine days.' That month consisted of twenty-nine days. ʿAisha said, 'When the Divine revelation of Choice was revealed, the Prophet (ﷺ) started with me, saying to me, 'I am telling you something, but you needn't hurry to give the reply till you can consult your parents." ʿAisha knew that her parents would not advise her to part with the Prophet (ﷺ) . The Prophet (ﷺ) said that Allah had said:-- 'O Prophet! Say To your wives; If you desire The life of this world And its glitter, ... then come! I will make a provision for you and set you free In a handsome manner. But if you seek Allah And His Messenger (ﷺ), and The Home of the Hereafter, then Verily, Allah has prepared For the good-doers amongst you A great reward.' (33.28) ʿAisha said, 'Am I to consult my parents about this? I indeed prefer Allah, His Messenger (ﷺ), and the Home of the Hereafter.' After that the Prophet gave the choice to his other wives and they also gave the same reply as ʿAisha did." (Bukhari: 2288)
