حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا النَّهَّاسُ بْنُ قَهْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شَدَّادٌ أَبُو عَمَّارٍ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
أَنَا وَامْرَأَةٌ سَفْعَاءُ الْخَدَّيْنِ كَهَاتَيْنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَوْمَأَ يَزِيدُ بِالْوُسْطَى وَالسَّبَّابَةِ امْرَأَةٌ آمَتْ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ حَبَسَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَى يَتَامَاهَا حَتَّى بَانُوا أَوْ مَاتُوا
