Kutoka kwa Aisha (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) said: "I said to Mtume (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake): "Such and such thing of Safiyyah (May Allah be pleased with her) is sufficient for you." (She means to say that she was a woman with a short stature). He said, "You have indeed uttered a word which would pollute the sea if it were mixed in it." She further said: I imitated a person before him and he said, "I do not like that I should imitate someone even (if I am paid) in return such and such."."
