لَمَّا جَاءَ قَتْلُ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ وَجَعْفَرٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ، جَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْرَفُ فِيهِ الْحُزْنُ، وَأَنَا أَطَّلِعُ مِنْ شَقِّ الْبَابِ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ نِسَاءَ جَعْفَرٍ وَذَكَرَ بُكَاءَهُنَّ فَأَمَرَهُ بِأَنْ يَنْهَاهُنَّ، فَذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ ثُمَّ أَتَى فَقَالَ قَدْ نَهَيْتُهُنَّ، وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُنَّ لَمْ يُطِعْنَهُ، فَأَمَرَهُ الثَّانِيَةَ أَنْ يَنْهَاهُنَّ، فَذَهَبَ، ثُمَّ أَتَى، فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ غَلَبْنَنِي أَوْ غَلَبْنَنَا الشَّكُّ مِنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ـ فَزَعَمَتْ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فَاحْثُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِنَّ التُّرَابَ . فَقُلْتُ أَرْغَمَ اللَّهُ أَنْفَكَ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ وَمَا تَرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الْعَنَاءِ.
When the news of the martyrdom of Zaid bin Haritha, Ja`far and `Abdullah bin Rawaha came, theProphet sat down looking sad, and I was looking through the chink of the door. A man came and said,"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The women of Ja`far," and then he mentioned their crying . The Prophet (p.b.u.h)ordered him to stop them from crying. The man went and came back and said, "I tried to stop them butthey disobeyed." The Prophet (p.b.u.h) ordered him for the second time to forbid them. He went againand came back and said, "They did not listen to me, (or "us": the sub-narrator Muhammad binHaushab is in doubt as to which is right). " (`Aisha added: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Put dust in theirmouths." I said (to that man), "May Allah stick your nose in the dust (i.e. humiliate you)." By Allah,you could not (stop the women from crying) to fulfill the order, besides you did not relieve Allah'sApostle from fatigue."
