The Knowledge of 'A' ishah
It is reported from Abû Mûsâ Al-Ash’arî – Allah be pleased with him - that he said: We the Companions of Allah’s Messenger – Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him – never had difficulty in understanding a hadîth except that when we asked ‘Â`ishah we found she had some knowledge about it. It is reported from Masrûq – Allah have mercy on him – that he said: We swear by Allah, we have seen senior Companions of Allah’s Messenger – Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him – asking ‘Â`ishah about inheritance laws. Ibn Al-Jawzî, Sifah Al-Safwah Vol.1 p319.
