Sunan an-Nasai 3440 (Book 27, Hadith 52) #18052
Consulting Parents Before Making Decisions

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asking 'Aishah to consult her parents before making a decision, and her response that she desires Allah and His Messenger.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "When the following was revealed: 'But if you desire Allah and His Messenger,' the Prophet came and started with me. He said: 'O 'Aishah, I am going to say something to you and you do not have to rush (to make a decision) until you consult your parents'." She said: "He knew, by Allah, that my parents would never tell me to leave him. Then he recited to me: 'O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter'." "I said: 'Do I need to consult my parents concerning this? I desire Allah and His Messenger'."
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ ‏{‏ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ‏}‏ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ بَدَأَ بِي فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنِّي ذَاكِرٌ لَكِ أَمْرًا فَلاَ عَلَيْكِ أَنْ لاَ تُعَجِّلِي حَتَّى تَسْتَأْمِرِي أَبَوَيْكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ قَدْ عَلِمَ وَاللَّهِ أَنَّ أَبَوَىَّ لَمْ يَكُونَا لِيَأْمُرَانِّي بِفِرَاقِهِ فَقَرَأَ عَلَىَّ ‏{‏ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لأَزْوَاجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا ‏}‏ فَقُلْتُ أَفِي هَذَا أَسْتَأْمِرُ أَبَوَىَّ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ وَالأَوَّلُ أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ وَاللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of consulting one's parents before making decisions. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asked 'Aishah to consult her parents before deciding whether or not to accept his proposal. He recited a verse from the Quran which speaks of the life of this world and its glitter, which can be interpreted as a warning against being too attached to worldly matters. In response, 'Aishah declared that she desired Allah and His Messenger above all else. This hadith teaches us that it is important for us to seek advice from our elders when making decisions in life, as they have more experience than we do and can provide valuable insight into our choices. It also reminds us not to be too attached to worldly matters, but rather focus on pleasing Allah by following His commands and seeking guidance from Him through prayer.
