حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهَا

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ عِنْدَهَا وَفِي الْبَيْتِ مُخَنَّثٌ فَقَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِنْ فُتِحَ لَكُمْ غَدًا الطَّائِفُ فَإِنِّي أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى بِنْتِ غَيْلاَنَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ يَدْخُلَنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَيْكُنَّ

that once the Prophet ﷺ was in her house, and an effeminate man was there too. The effeminate man said to ʿAbdullah, (Um Salama's brother) "0 ʿAbdullah! If Ta'if should be conquered tomorrow, I recommend you the daughter of Ghailan, for she is so fat that she has four curves in the front (of her belly) and eight at the back." So the Prophet ﷺ said (to his wives) "These effeminate (men) should not enter upon you (your houses).

Notes

  • قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ يَعْنِي أَرْبَعَ عُكَنِ بَطْنِهَا فَهْىَ تُقْبِلُ بِهِنَّ وَقَوْلُهُ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ يَعْنِي أَطْرَافَ هَذِهِ الْعُكَنِ الأَرْبَعِ لأَنَّهَا مُحِيطَةٌ بِالْجَنْبَيْنِ حَتَّى لَحِقَتْ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ بِثَمَانٍ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ بِثَمَانِيَةٍ وَوَاحِدُ الأَطْرَافِ وَهْوَ ذَكَرٌ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَطْرَافٍ
