أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حدثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مِلْحَانَ، حدثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حدثنا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ،
أنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: " يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ، وَأَكْثِرْنَ الِاسْتِغْفَارَ، فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ". قَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ: وَمَا لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ، وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ، وَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَغْلَبَ لِذِي اللُّبِّ مِنْكُنَّ ". قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَمَا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ وَالدِّينِ؟ قَالَ: " أَمَّا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ فَشَهَادَةُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ تَعْدِلُ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلٍ فَهَذَا نُقْصَانُ الْعَقْلِ، وَتَمْكُثُ اللَّيَالِيَ مَا تُصَلِّي، وَتُفْطِرُ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَهَذَا نُقْصَانُ الدِّينِ "

The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "O company of women, give charity, and increase in seeking forgiveness, for I saw that you are the majority of the people of the Fire." A woman among them said: "And why is that, O Messenger of God?" He said: "You curse frequently and you are ungrateful to your spouse. And I have not seen any who are lacking in intellect and religion more overpowering of the man of sound mind than you." She said: "O Messenger of God, what is the deficiency of intellect and religion?" He said: "As for the deficiency of intellect, the testimony of two women equals the testimony of one man; this is the deficiency of intellect. And she stays for nights without praying, and she breaks the fast in Ramadan; this is the deficiency of religion."
