حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ زَنْجُوَيْهِ، ثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ الْخَطْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ؓ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
« مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ جَارَهُ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ، وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمْ فَلَا يَدْخُلْنَ الْحَمَّامَ ». قَالَ: فَنَمَّيْتُهُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ؓ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ أَنْ سَلْ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ حَدِيثِهِ فَإِنَّهُ رَضِيٌّ، فَسَأَلَهُ فَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ فَمَنَعَ النِّسَاءَ عَنِ الْحَمَّامِ

✧ “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should honor his neighbor. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should honor his guest. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent. And whoever of your women believes in Allah and the Last Day should not enter the bathhouse.” He said: I reported it to Umar b. Abd al-Aziz ؓ during his caliphate, and he wrote to Abu Bakr b. Muhammad b. Amr b. Hazm: 'Ask Muhammad b. Thabit about his hadith, for he is approved.' So he asked him, and he wrote to Umar ؓ, and he forbade women from the bathhouse.
