حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَطَاءٌ قَالَ حَضَرْنَا مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ جَنَازَةَ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بِسَرِفَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ هَذِهِ زَوْجُ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَإِذَا رَفَعْتُمْ نَعْشَهَا فَلاَ تُزَعْزِعُوا وَلاَ تُزَلْزِلُوا وَارْفُقُوا فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- تِسْعٌ فَكَانَ يَقْسِمُ لِثَمَانٍ وَلاَ يَقْسِمُ لِوَاحِدَةٍ. قَالَ عَطَاءٌ الَّتِى لاَ يَقْسِمُ لَهَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَىِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ.

'Ata' said: "We attended the funeral of Maimunah, the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w). in Sarif with Ibn 'Abbas. Ibn 'Abbas said: 'This is the wife of the Prophet (s.a.w). so when you lift her, do not shake her nor disturb her; be gentle with her. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) had nine wives, and he used to divide his time between eight of them, and he did not allot a share of his time to one of them. The one to whom he did not allot a share of his time was Safiyyah bint Huyayy bin Akhtab."'
