Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 27470a
"يَا مَعْشَر النِّسَاءِ: تَصَدَّقْنَ؛ فَإنِّى أُريتُكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ، وَتَكْفُرْنَ العَشِيرَ، مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَاقِصَاتِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَذْهَبَ للُبِّ الرَّجُلِ الحَازِم مِنْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ، قُلْنَا: وَمَا نُقْصَانُ عَقْلِنَا وَدِينِنَا؟ قَالَ: أَلَيْسَ شَهَادَةُ المَرأةِ مِثْلَ نِصْفِ شَهَادَةِ الرَّجُلِ؟ فَذَلِكَ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ عَقْلِهَا، أَلَيْسَ إِذَا حَاضَتْ لَمْ تُصَلِّ وَلَمْ تَصُمْ؟ فَذَلِكَ مِنَ نُقْصَانِ دِينِهَا".

"O assembly of women! Give charity, for I have been shown that you are the majority of the people of the Fire. You curse much and you deny the favor of your husbands. I have not seen anyone deficient in intellect and religion who takes away the intellect of a resolute man more than one of you." We said: "What is the deficiency in our intellect and religion?" He said: "Is not the testimony of a woman equal to half the testimony of a man? That is the deficiency in her intellect. Is it not that when she menstruates she neither prays nor fasts? That is the deficiency in her religion."
