عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِبِنَاءِ الْمَسَاجِدِ فِي النُّورِ
وَأَمَرَ بِهَا أَنْ تُنَظَّفَ وَتُطَيَّبَ.
(مسند أحمد: ٦٩٢٦)
عَبْدٍ نِعْمَةً فَعَلِمَ أَنَّهَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا شُكْرَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحْمَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا، وَمَا أَذْنَبَ عَبْدُ ذَنْبًا فَنَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَغْفِرَتَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ
يَسْتَغْفِرَهُ، وَمَا اشْتَرَى عَبْدُ ثَوْبًا بِدِينَارٍ أَوْ نِصْفِ دِينَارٍ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ حِينَ يَلْبَسُهُ إِلَّا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ حَتَّى يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ".
(الدر المَنْثُورُ لِلسُّيُوطي: ٣٥١/١)
'ishah related that the Messenger of Allah
said: "Whenever Allah bestows a blessing on a servant and the latter recognises that it is from Allah, Allah will inscribe this recognition as an act of praising Him even before the servant praises Him for it. And whenever a servant commits a sin and then regrets it, Allah will forgive him even before the servant asks for- giveness of Him. And whenever a servant buys a dress for a gold piece or half a gold piece and then praises Allah upon putting it on, Allah will forgive his lapses before the
dress reaches his knees."
(Al-Durr al-Manthur of al-Suyuti, 1: 153)
'ishah related that the Messenger of Allah
Ashanded that places of worship be built in
houses, and that they should be kept clean and perfumed.
(Musnad Ahmad: 6296)

This Hadith anthology, A Year with 'A'ishah seeks
This to acquaint readers, with the life-giving message embodied in the Prophet's Ahadith, and to pay tribute to the genius of the Prophet's beloved wife, 'A'ishah ,who also holds the distinction of being the daughter of the Prophet's most sincere and faithful Companion, Abu Bakr Siddiq.
Among the many Companions who have narrated Hadith, 'A'ishah stands out above others on the following counts:
On her authority, as many as 2210 Ahadith have been recorded in the authentic Hadith collections. According to some scholars, her juristic opinions account for 25 of the fiqhi (juristic) rulings of the day.
As she observed first-hand and from very close quarters the Prophet Muhammad's conduct and way of life, the range of the topics covered in the Ahadith narrated by her is diverse and vast.

قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: لَا يُصَلِّي بِحَضْرَ الطَّعَامِ وَلَا وَهُو يُدَافِعُهُ الْأَخْبَثَانِ».

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحْرَسُ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآية: {وَاللهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ} [سور المائد: آية 67] فَأَخْرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأْسِهِ مِنَ الْقُبَّةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، انْصَرِفُوا فَقَدْ
عَصَمَنِي اللهُ».
(سنن الترمذي : ٦٤٠٣)
'ishah related that the Prophet used to have revealed: {Allah will protect you from people} [al-Ma'idah 5: 67], upon which the Messenger of Allah popped his head out of his tent and said to his guards: "Disperse, for Allah shall be protecting me."
(Sunan al-Tirmidhi: 3046)

A should not offer prayer teror food is care ofte

was full of Companions, however the Prophet did not come out to lead the prayer. The next day, after Fajr prayer, he addressed the people. He first recited the creedal statement of Islam and then said: "I am aware that you were here [last night]. However, I feared that this prayer would be made obligatory for you and you would be unable to perform it." (Sahih al-Bukhari: 924)
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ يُوضَعُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَةُ آنِيَةٍ تَحْمُرُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ : إِنَاءً لِطُهُورِهِ وَإِنَاءُ لِشَرَابِهِ وَإِنَاءً لِسِوَاكِهِ». (كثر العُمَّال: ٨٢٤٣٢)
'ishah said: "Three covered pots of water were at night for the Messenger of Allah #: one
for wudu', one for drinking, and one for his siwak (toothbrush)."
(Kanz al-'Ummal: 23428)
