Muwatta Malik — Hadith #35150

Ziyad told me, on the authority of Malik, on the authority of Ibn Shihab, on the authority of Amra bint Abdul Rahman, on the authority of Aisha, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, wanted to He was secluding himself, and when he went to the place where he wanted to seclude himself, he found Aisha’s tent, Hafsa’s tent, and Zainab’s tent. He saw her, asked about her, and was told: This is the hideout of Aisha, Hafsa, and Zainab. Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “What righteousness do you speak of them?” Then he departed and did not seclude himself until the ten days of Shawwal.
