'Ā'ishah kuma ta ruwaito cewa lokacin da aka tambayi Manzon Allah ﷺ tambayar, "Wacce daga cikin matanka ce za ta fara haduwa da kai [a lahira]?", sai ya ce, "Wacce ta fi sauri daga cikinku wajen riskar ni ita ce wacce hannunta ya fi tsawo a cikinku." Saboda wannan magana, 'Ā'ishah ta ruwaito cewa matansa sun fara hasashe, har ma suna auna a bango, wacce daga cikinsu hannunta ya fi tsawo. Sawdah 'yar Zam'ah ita ce mafi tsayi a cikinsu, amma sa'ad da Zaynab 'yar Jahsh ta rasu da farko, sai suka fahimci cewa "hannu mafi tsayi" yana nufin mafi yawan sadaka. 'Ā'ishah ta ce, "Zaynab ita ce take da hannu mafi tsayi a cikinmu, domin tana aiki da hannayenta, kuma tana bayar da sadaka daga abin da ta samu."289

‘Āishah  also narrates that when the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم was presented with the question, “Which of your wives will be reunited with you first [in the hereafter]?” he صلى الله عليه وسلم responded, “The fastest of you in catching up with me will be the one with the longest arm among you.” Due to that statement, ‘Āishah  reports that his wives used to speculate, and even measure against the wall, which wife had the longest arm. Sawadah bint Zam‘ah  was the tallest of them, but when Zaynab bint Jaḥsh  died first, they realized “longest arm” meant most charitable. ‘Āishah  says, “Zaynab had the longest arm among us, because she used to work with her hands and donate from her earnings.”289
