Muhammad ibn Hilal reported that he saw the rooms of the wives
of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The rooms were
made of palm trunks covered with hair. The transmitter (Muhammad ibn Abi
Fudayk) said, "I asked him about 'A'isha's room and he said, 'Its door
faced Syria.' I asked, 'Was it one or two spans?' 'Its door was one span,'
he replied. I asked, 'And what was it made of?' He said, 'From cypress
or teak wood.'"
