أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ أُمَيْمَةَ بِنْتِ رُقَيْقَةَ قَالَتْ
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي نِسَاءٍ نُبَايِعُهُ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ {أَنْ لَا يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللهِ} [الممتحنة 12] الْآيَةُ قَالَ «فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّ أَطَقْتُنَّ» قُلْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْحَمُ بِنَا مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا تُصَافِحُنَا؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَا أُصَافِحُ النِّسَاءَ مَا قَوْلِي لِامْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَّا كَقَوْلِي لَمِائَةِ امْرَأَةٍ»

✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ among women to pledge allegiance to him. The Prophet ﷺ took from us: {that they should not associate anything with Allah} [Al-Mumtahanah 12] the verse. He said: "As much as you are able and can bear." We said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is more merciful to us than our own selves. We said: O Messenger of Allah, will you not shake hands with us? He said: "I do not shake hands with women. My words to one woman are like my words to a hundred women."
