What a man does in his house

بَابُ مَا يَعْمَلُ الرَّجُلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 539
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ‏:‏ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا‏:‏ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعْمَلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ‏؟‏ قَالَتْ‏:‏ يَخْصِفُ نَعْلَهُ، وَيَعْمَلُ مَا يَعْمَلُ الرَّجُلُ فِي بَيْتِهِ‏.‏
Hisham ibn 'Urwa said that his father said, "I asked 'A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her, 'What did the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, do in his house?' She replied, 'He mended his sandals and worked as any man works in his house.'"
