It was narrated that Aisha said: The wives of the Prophet got together and sent Fatimah to the Prophet. They told her to say: Your wives -and he the narrator said something to the effect that they are urging you to be equitable with regard to the matter of the daughter of Abu Quhafah. She said: So she entered upon the Prophet when he was with Aisha under her cover. She said to him: Your wives have sent me and they are urging you to be equitable with regard to the matter of the daughter of Abu Quhafah. The Prophet said to her: Do you love me? She said: Yes. He said: Then love her. So she went back to them and told them what he said. They said to her: You did not do anything; go back to him. She said: By Allah; I will never go back and speak to him about her again. She was truly the daughter of the Messenger of Allah. So they sent Zainab bint Jahsh. Aisha said: She was somewhat my equal among the wives of the Prophet. She said: Your wives have sent me to urge you to be equitable with regard to the matter of the daughter of Abu Quhafa. Then she swooped on me and abused me; and I started watching the Prophet to see if he would give me permission to respond to her. She insulted me and I started to think that he would not disapprove if I responded to her. So I insulted her and I soon silenced her. Then the Prophet said to her: She is the daughter of Abu Bakr. Aisha said: And I never saw any woman who was better; more generous in giving charity; more keen to uphold the ties of kinship; and more generous in giving of herself in everything by means of which she could draw closer to Allah than Zainab. But she had a quick temper; however; she was also quick to calm down.
