Sahih al-Bukhari 3775 (Book 62, Hadith 120) #3603
Receiving Presents with Equality

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was receiving presents on the day of 'Aisha's turn, and the other wives of the Prophet asked him to tell people to send their presents wherever his turn may be. The Prophet (ﷺ) refused at first but then said that no divine inspiration ever came to him while he was under any woman's blanket except 'Aisha's.

Narrated Hisham's father: The people used to send presents to the Prophet ﷺ on the day of 'Aisha's turn'.Aisha said, "My companions (ie the other wives of the Prophet) gathered in the house of Um Salama and said, "O Um Salama! By Allah, the people choose to send presents on the day of 'Aisha's turn and we too, love the good (ie presents etc) as 'Aisha does. You should tell Allah's Messenger ﷺ to tell the people to send their presents to him wherever he may be, or wherever his turn may be". Um Salama said that to the Prophet and he turned away from her, and when the Prophet ﷺ returned to her (ie Um Salama), she repeated the same, and the Prophet ﷺ again turned away, and when she told him the same for the third time, the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Um Salama! Don't trouble me by harming 'Aisha, for by Allah, the Divine Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman amongst you except her".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ،، قَالَ كَانَ النَّاسُ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَاجْتَمَعَ صَوَاحِبِي إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، فَقُلْنَ يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ، وَإِنَّا نُرِيدُ الْخَيْرَ كَمَا تُرِيدُهُ عَائِشَةُ، فَمُرِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُهْدُوا إِلَيْهِ حَيْثُ مَا كَانَ أَوْ حَيْثُ مَا دَارَ، قَالَتْ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي، فَلَمَّا عَادَ إِلَىَّ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ ذَاكَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ لاَ تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةَ، فَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ عَلَىَّ الْوَحْىُ وَأَنَا فِي لِحَافِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْكُنَّ غَيْرِهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the wives of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ were treated equally and with respect. It is narrated by Hisham’s father that when people used to send gifts on Aisha’s turn, her companions would gather in Um Salama’s house and ask her to tell Allah’s Messenger ﷺ that they too love good things like Aisha does, so he should tell people to send their gifts wherever his turn may be. When Um Salama told this three times, Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said not to trouble him by harming Aisha as no divine inspiration ever came while he was under any woman’s blanket except hers. This hadith teaches us about equality among all wives of a husband and also shows us how much respect Allah’s Messenger ﷺ had for Aisha even though she was younger than all his other wives. It also teaches us about respecting each other regardless of age or gender differences.
