Sahih al-Bukhari 4081 (Book 64, Hadith 297)
`Abdullah bin Rawaka reached, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sat with sorrow explicit on his face.” `Aisha added, “I
was then peeping through a chink in the door. A man came to him and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! The
women of Ja`far are crying.’ Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) told him to forbid them to do so. So the man went
away and returned saying, “I forbade them but they did not listen to me.” The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered him
again to go (and forbid them). He went again and came saying, ‘By Allah, they overpowered me (i.e.
did not listen to me).” `Aisha said that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said (to him), “Go and throw dust into their
mouths.” Aisha added, “I said, May Allah put your nose in the dust! By Allah, neither have you done
what you have been ordered, nor have you relieved Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) from trouble.”
“ فَاحْثُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِنَّ مِنَ التُّرَابِ ” قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ أَرْغَمَ اللَّهُ أَنْفَكَ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَنْتَ تَفْعَلُ، وَمَا تَرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الْعَنَاءِ.
