عن الأسود بن يزيد سألت عائشة رضي الله عنها ما كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يصنع في البيت قالت : كان يكون في مهنة أهله فإذا سمع الأذان خرج (صحيح البخاري #5363)
Hazrat Aswad bin Yazeed (rahimahullah) mentions, “I asked Hazrat ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha), ‘What would Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) do when he was in the home?’ Hazrat ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) replied, ‘He used to be engaged in the service of his blessed household (assisting them with household chores). However, when he would hear the azaan, he would immediately leave (for the musjid).’”
