Musnad Ahmad 1153:717

Abu Sa’id narrated to us, he said: Sulayman—meaning Ibn Bilal—narrated to us, from Sharik—meaning Ibn Abi Namir—from ‘Ata’ ibn Yasar, from ‘Aisha, that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said to her: "O ‘Aisha, be gentle, for if Allah intends good for the people of a household, He guides them to the door of gentleness."
