حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُخَنَّثٌ، وَكَانُوا يَعُدُّونَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أُولِيَ الْإِرْبَةِ، فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ وَهُوَ يَنْعَتُ امْرَأَةً. فَقَالَ: إِنَّهَا إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ، أَقْبَلَتْ بِأَرْبَعٍ، وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ أَدْبَرَتْ بِثَمَانٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا أَرَى هَذَا يَعْلَمُ مَا هَاهُنَا، لَا يَدْخُلْ (١) عَلَيْكُنَّ هَذَا " فَحَجَبُوهُ (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a mukhannath (effeminate man) used to come to the pure wives of the Prophet (ﷺ). People thought that he had no interest in women's matters, but one day he was sitting with one of the noble wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) when the Prophet (ﷺ) also arrived. At that time, the mukhannath was describing a woman, saying that she comes with four and returns with eight. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I did not think that he would know such things." Therefore, from today he should never come to you. Consequently, the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) began to observe veiling from him.
