The first hadith in the Book of Seclusion, in the chapter on mentioning seclusion. Malik transmits from Ibn Shihab, from Urwa ibn al-Zubayr, from Amra bint Abd al-Rahman, from Aisha, wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that she said: when the Messenger of God was in seclusion he would bring his head close to me and I would comb it, and he would not enter the house except for a human need.
