  So when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was in the house of Aisha,

  حَتَّىٰ — so. Here this particle teams with the 'when' word right after it to open a narrative 'so when' frame; it is steering the storyline to a turning point rather than marking a goal. Its job is to set up the circumstance whose outcome the sentence then delivers.
