English Translation

It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ covering me with his robe while I watched the Abyssinians playing in the mosque until I was the one who tired of watching. So judge by the standard of the young girl who is eager for entertainment.'
