What a man does in his house

بَابُ مَا يَعْمَلُ الرَّجُلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 538
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، وَحَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالاَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ قَالَ‏:‏ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا‏:‏ مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي أَهْلِهِ‏؟‏ فَقَالَتْ‏:‏ كَانَ يَكُونُ فِي مِهْنَةِ أَهْلِهِ، فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاةُ خَرَجَ‏.‏
Al-Aswad said, "I asked 'A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her, 'What did the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, do when he was with his family?' She replied, 'He would do chores for his family, and when it was time for the prayer, he would go out.'"
