أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أنا أَبُو سَهْلِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْقَطَّانُ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، نا زُهَيْرٌ، نا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ،
قَالَ: خَرَجْتِ امْرَأَةٌ مُتُزَيِّنَةً، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ ؓ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا، فَاخْتَبَأَتْ مِنْهُ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا فَاخْتَبَأَ، فَقَامَ فَخَطَبَ فَقَالَ: " مَا هَذِهِ الْخَارِجَةُ؟ أَمْ هَذَا الْمُرْسِلُهَا؟ أَمَا لَوْ أَتَيْتُ بِهَا لَسَتَرْتُ بِهَا، أَوْ لَشَرَّدْتُ بِهَا وَبِهِ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ لِحَاجَةٍ فَلْتَخْرُجْ مُتَنَكِّرَةً فِي بَذْلَتِهَا، فَإِذَا فَرَغَتْ مِنْ حَاجَتِهَا فَلْتَرْجِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِهَا "

He said: A woman went out adorned, and that reached ʿUmar ؓ. He sent for her, but she hid from him. So he sent for her husband, and he hid too. Then he stood and delivered a sermon, saying: "What is this woman who goes out? Or this man who sends her out? Had I got hold of her, I would have punished her, or I would have made an example of her and of him. When she wants to go out for a need, let her go out unrecognizable in her everyday clothes, and when she has finished her need, let her return to her house."
