Muwatta' Malik 37-7

Translation

Malik said from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that an effeminate man was with Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ. He said to Abdullah ibn Abi Umayya while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was listening. "Abdullah! If Allah grants you victory over Ta'if tomorrow, I will lead you to the daughter of Ghailan. She has four folds on her front and eight folds on her back." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This sort of man should not enter freely with you." (It was customary to allow men with no sexual inclination to enter freely where there were women).

  machine translationHishām b. ʿUrwah narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Wakīʿ, Jarīr, ʿAbdullāh b. Numayr and Abū Muʿāwiyah narrated it from Hishām, from his father, from Zaynab, from Umm Salamah. Saʿīd b. Abī Maryam narrated it from Mālik, from Hishām, from his father, from Umm Salamah, without mentioning Zaynab. The companions of Mālik contradicted him: they narrated it from Mālik, from Hishām, from his father, as a mursal report (mursal). Report a problem
