"عن أم صبية خولة بنت قيس قالت: كنا نكون في عهد النبى ﷺ وأبى بكرٍ وصدرًا () من خلافةِ عمرَ في المسجدِ نسوة قد تخاللن، وربما غزلنا، وربما عالج بعضُنا فيهِ الخُوصَ، فقال عمر: لأَرُدَّنَّكُنَّ حرائر، فأخرجنا منه إلَّا أنَّا كنا نشهدُ الصلواتِ في الوقتِ، وكان عمر يخرجُ إذا صلى العشاءَ الآخرةَ فيطوفُ بدِرتَّه عَلى من في المسجدِ فينظرُ إليهم، ويعرف وجوهَهم ويتفقدُهُم ويسألُهم: هل أصابوا عَشَاءً وإِلا خرج بهم فعشَّاهم".

"Umm Sibyah Khawlah bint Qays said: We used to be in the mosque during the time of the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr, and in the early part of 'Umar's caliphate, as women who were weaving mats, and sometimes we spun thread, and sometimes some of us worked with palm fibre. 'Umar said: I will certainly return you as free women. So we were removed from it, except that we attended the prayers on time. 'Umar would go out after praying the late night prayer, walking among those in the mosque with his whip, looking at them, recognizing their faces, checking on them and asking them: Have you had your supper? If not, he would take them out and feed them supper."
