Why did the Prophet (peace be upon him) not take his other wives and content himself with our mother Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), even though there was food in their homes?
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, took Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, to eat at his Persian neighbor's house. The reason for this might have been Aisha's need for food that day, while his other wives were content, or that the food and place were not sufficient for more than two people. The Persian's initial refusal to allow Aisha in could be due to him having prepared food sufficient only for the Prophet. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, refused to accept the Persian's offer because he shared Aisha's hunger, and he disliked to have the food exclusively for himself without her. There is no problem with this action given these possibilities.
