Sahih Muslim Book - 18, Hadith - 3694

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِى بَكْرٍ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ سَمِعَ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ حُنَيْنٍ - وَهُوَ مَوْلَى الْعَبَّاسِ - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ كُنْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْمَرْأَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ تَظَاهَرَتَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَلَبِثْتُ سَنَةً مَا أَجِدُ لَهُ مَوْضِعًا حَتَّى صَحِبْتُهُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ ذَهَبَ يَقْضِى حَاجَتَهُ فَقَالَ أَدْرِكْنِى بِإِدَاوَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَلَمَّا قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ وَرَجَعَ ذَهَبْتُ أَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ وَذَكَرْتُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنِ الْمَرْأَتَانِ فَمَا قَضَيْتُ كَلاَمِى حَتَّى قَالَ عَائِشَةُ وَحَفْصَةُ.

Ibn 'Abbas said: "I wanted to ask 'Umar about the two women who helped one another at the time of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), but for one year I could not find any opportunity, until I accompanied him to Makkah. When he was in Marr Az-Zahran, he went to relieve himself, and he said: 'Bring me a jug of water.' So I brought it to him, and when he had relieved himself and came back, I went to pour water for him, then I remembered and said to him: 'O Commander of the Believers, who were the two women?' And I did not finish what I was saying before he said: "Aishah and Hafsah."'
