وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ رَهْطٍ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا أُخْبِرُوا بِهَا كَأَنَّهُمْ تَقَالُّوهَا.
Translation: Anas reported that three men went to the Prophet's wives to ask about his worship. When they were told about it, they seemed to regard it as little.

Their wish to learn about worship was commendable. The problem began when they measured the Prophet's practice against their own assumptions and considered it insufficient.

Rahṭ refers to a group, azwāj here means wives, and yasʾalūna is plural: “they were asking.”
