حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثنا ثَوْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصٍ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شَهْرَ بْنَ حَوْشَبٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ قَالَتْ
كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ فَقَالَ «عَسَى رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُ بِمَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَهْلِهِ أَوْ عَسَى امْرَأَةٌ تُحَدِّثُ بِمَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ زَوْجِهَا» فَأَرَمَّ الْقَوْمُ فَقُلْتُ إِي وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَفْعَلُونَ وَإِنَّهُنَّ لَيَفْعَلْنَ قَالَ «فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا فَإِنَّ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ مِثْلَ شَيْطَانٍ لَقِيَ شَيْطَانَةٍ فِي ظَهْرِ الطَّرِيقِ فَغَشِيَهَا وَالنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ»

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, both men and women, and he said, "Perhaps a man may speak of something that happens between him and his wife, or a woman may speak of something that happens between her and her husband." So the people started to laugh and I said, "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, they definitely do it, and the women definitely do it too." He said, "Do not do that, for it is like a male devil meeting a female devil on the road, and he covers her while the people are watching."
