Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that some of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) asked him: “Which of us will be the quickest to join you?” He said: “The one with the longest hand.” They took a stick and measured their hands, and Sawdah had the longest hand. Later, we learned that the length of her hand referred to her charity. Zainab was the quickest to join him because she loved to give charity, hoping that he would take notice and spend from what Allah had given him.
