Musnad Ahmad 25560

Translation

✧ I imitated a man before the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: It would not please me to imitate a man even if I had such-and-such. She said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, Ṣafiyyah is a woman—and he gestured with his hand, as if meaning: short. He said: You have mixed in a word which, if mixed with the water of the sea, would taint it.
