"عَنِ ابْن عَبَّاس قَالَ: هَجَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِى خَطْمَةَ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبىُّ ﷺ فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ: مَنْ لِى بِهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمهَا: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَانَتْ تَمَّارَةً - تَبِيعُ التَّمْرَ - فَأَتَاهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا: عنْدَك تَمْرٌ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، فَأَرَتهُ ثَمْرًا، فَقَالَ: أَرَدْتُ أَجْوَدَ مِنْ هَذَا، فَدَخَلَتْ لِتُرِيَهُ وَدَخَلَ خَلْفَهَا فَنَظَرَ يَمِينًا وَشمَالًا فَلَمْ يَرَ إِلا خَوَانًا فَعَلا بِهِ رَأسَهَا حَتَّى دَمَغَهَا بِه، ثُمَّ أَتَىَ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله كَفَيْتُكَهَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لا يَنْتَطِحُ فِيهَا عَنْزَانِ، فَأَرْسَلَهَا مَثَلًا".

"From Ibn Abbas, who said: A woman from the Banu Khatmah satirized the Prophet ﷺ. This reached the Prophet ﷺ, and it distressed him greatly, and he said: Who will deal with her for me? A man from her people said: I will, O Messenger of Allah. She was a date seller, selling dates. He came to her and said: Do you have dates? She said: Yes, and she showed him some dates. He said: I want better than these. She went in to show him, and he entered behind her, looked right and left, and saw nothing but a wooden tray. He raised it over her head until he struck her skull with it. Then he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have dealt with her for you. The Prophet ﷺ said: Two goats will not butt heads over her. So it became a proverb."
