وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، ثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنِي شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ ؓ. قَالَ: فَحَدَّثَتْنِي:
إِنَّمَا بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ بَايَعَ النِّسَاءَ، قَالَتْ: فَمَدَدْتُ يَدِي لِأُبَايِعَهُ، فَقَبَضَ يَدَهُ وَقَالَ: « لَا أُصَافِحُ النِّسَاءَ، وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا آخُذُ عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْقَوْلِ
