حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ فِرَاسٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رضى الله عنها أَنَّ بَعْضَ، أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قُلْنَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَيُّنَا أَسْرَعُ بِكَ لُحُوقًا قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَطْوَلُكُنَّ يَدًا ‏"‏. فَأَخَذُوا قَصَبَةً يَذْرَعُونَهَا، فَكَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ أَطْوَلَهُنَّ يَدًا، فَعَلِمْنَا بَعْدُ أَنَّمَا كَانَتْ طُولَ يَدِهَا الصَّدَقَةُ، وَكَانَتْ أَسْرَعَنَا لُحُوقًا بِهِ وَكَانَتْ تُحِبُّ الصَّدَقَةَ.

Narrator: `Aisha

English translation
Narrated `Aisha: Some of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Who amongst us will be the first to follow you (i.e. die after you)?" He said, "Whoever has the longest hand." So they started measuring their hands with a stick and Sauda's hand turned out to be the longest. (When Zainab bint Jahsh died first of all in the caliphate of `Umar), we came to know that the long hand was a symbol of practicing charity, so she was the first to follow the Prophet (ﷺ) and she used to love to practice charity. (Sauda died later in the caliphate of Muawiya)

بَاب: অধ্যায়: ১৪২০. ‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত যে, কোন নবী সহধর্মিনী নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -কে বললেনঃ আমাদের মধ্য হতে সবার পূর্বে (মৃত্যুর পর) আপনার সাথে কে মিলিত হবে? তিনি বললেনঃ তোমাদের মধ্যে যার হাত সবচেয়ে লম্বা। তাঁরা একটি বাঁশের কাঠির মাধ্যমে হাত মেপে দেখতে লাগলেন। সওদার হাত সকলের হাতের চেয়ে লম্বা বলে প্রমাণিত হল। পরে [সবার আগে যায়নাব (রাঃ)-এর মৃত্যু হলে] আমরা বুঝলাম হাতের দীর্ঘতার অর্থ দানশীলতা। তিনি [যায়নাব (রাঃ)] আমাদের মধ্যে সবার আগে তাঁর (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ) সাথে মিলিত হন এবং তিনি দান করতে ভালবাসতেন। (মুসলিম ৪৪/১৭, হাঃ ২৪৫২) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ১৩২৮, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
