The jealousy of women and their anger
Narrated Aisha:
That Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to her, "I know when you are pleased with me or angry with me." I said, "Whence do
you know that?" He said, "When you are pleased with me, you say, 'No, by the Lord of Muhammad,'
but when you are angry with me, then you say, 'No, by the Lord of Abraham.' " Thereupon I said,
"Yes (you are right), but by Allah, O Allah's Messenger, I leave nothing but your name."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ إِذَا كُنْتِ عَنِّي رَاضِيَةً وَإِذَا كُنْتِ عَلَىَّ غَضْبَى قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ مِنْ أَيْنَ تَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَمَّا إِذَا كُنْتِ عَنِّي رَاضِيَةً فَإِنَّكِ تَقُولِينَ لاَ وَرَبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَإِذَا كُنْتِ غَضْبَى قُلْتِ لاَ وَرَبِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ أَجَلْ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَهْجُرُ إِلاَّ اسْمَكَ
The jealousy of women and their anger
Narrated `Aisha:
I never felt so jealous of any wife of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as I did of Khadija because Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used
to remember and praise her too often and because it was revealed to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he should
give her (Khadija) the glad tidings of her having a palace of Qasab in Paradise .
حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ مَا غِرْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَمَا غِرْتُ عَلَى خَدِيجَةَ لِكَثْرَةِ ذِكْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِيَّاهَا وَثَنَائِهِ عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُبَشِّرَهَا بِبَيْتٍ لَهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ قَصَبٍ
Attempt to prevent the daughter's jealousy
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who was on the pulpit, saying, "Banu Hisham bin Al-Mughira have requested
me to allow them to marry their daughter to `Ali bin Abu Talib, but I don't give permission, and will
not give permission unless `Ali bin Abi Talib divorces my daughter in order to marry their daughter,
because Fatima is a part of my body, and I hate what she hates to see, and what hurts her, hurts me."
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ وَهْوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ إِنَّ بَنِي هِشَامِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ اسْتَأْذَنُوا فِي أَنْ يُنْكِحُوا ابْنَتَهُمْ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَلاَ آذَنُ ثُمَّ لاَ آذَنُ ثُمَّ لاَ آذَنُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُرِيدَ ابْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ ابْنَتِي وَيَنْكِحَ ابْنَتَهُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي يُرِيبُنِي مَا أَرَابَهَا وَيُؤْذِينِي مَا آذَاهَا هَكَذَا قَالَ
Men will decrease and women will increase
Narrated Anas:
I will narrate to you a hadith I heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and none other than I will tell you of it. I
heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "From among the portents of the Hour are the following: Religious
knowledge will be taken away; General ignorance (in religious matters) will increase; illegal Sexual
intercourse will prevail: Drinking of alcoholic drinks will prevail. Men will decrease in number, and
women will increase in number, so much so that fifty women will be looked after by one man."
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَوْضِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لأُحَدِّثَنَّكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ يُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِهِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ الْعِلْمُ وَيَكْثُرَ الْجَهْلُ وَيَكْثُرَ الزِّنَا وَيَكْثُرَ شُرْبُ الْخَمْرِ وَيَقِلَّ الرِّجَالُ وَيَكْثُرَ النِّسَاءُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ لِخَمْسِينَ امْرَأَةً الْقَيِّمُ الْوَاحِدُ
A man should not stay with a woman in seclusion
Narrated `Uqba bin 'Amir:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Beware of entering upon the ladies." A man from the Ansar said, "Allah's
Apostle! What about Al-Hamu the in-laws of the wife (the brothers of her husband or his nephews
etc.)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied: The in-laws of the wife are death itself.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالدُّخُولَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَرَأَيْتَ الْحَمْوَ قَالَ الْحَمْوُ الْمَوْتُ
A man should not stay with a woman in seclusion
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No man should stay with a lady in seclusion except in the presence of a Dhu-
Muhram." A man stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger! My wife has gone out intending to perform
the Hajj and I have been enrolled (in the army) for such-and-such campaign." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Return and perform the Hajj with your wife."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو عَنْ أَبِي مَعْبَدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لاَ يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ إِلاَّ مَعَ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ امْرَأَتِي خَرَجَتْ حَاجَّةً وَاكْتُتِبْتُ فِي غَزْوَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ ارْجِعْ فَحُجَّ مَعَ امْرَأَتِكَ
Private meeting between a man and a woman not secluded from the people
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
An Ansari woman came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he took her aside and said (to her). "By Allah, you (Ansar)
are the most beloved people to me."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَخَلاَ بِهَا فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّكُنَّ لأَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ
Effeminate men should not enter upon women
Narrated Um Salama:
that while the Prophet (ﷺ) was with her, there was an effeminate man in the house. The effeminate man
said to Um Salama's brother, `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiyya, "If Allah should make you conquer Ta'if
tomorrow, I recommend that you take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) for (she is so fat) that she
shows four folds of flesh when facing you and eight when she turns her back." Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ)
said (to us), "This (effeminate man) should not enter upon you (anymore).
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ عِنْدَهَا وَفِي الْبَيْتِ مُخَنَّثٌ فَقَالَ الْمُخَنَّثُ لأَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى ابْنَةِ غَيْلاَنَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ يَدْخُلَنَّ هَذَا عَلَيْكُنَّ
The looking of a woman at the Ethiopians and the like
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet (ﷺ) was screening me with his Rida' (garment covering the upper part of the body) while I
was looking at the Ethiopians who were playing in the courtyard of the mosque. (I continued
watching) till I was satisfied. So you may deduce from this event how a little girl (who has not
reached the age of puberty) who is eager to enjoy amusement should be treated in this respect.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ عَنْ عِيسَى عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسْتُرُنِي بِرِدَائِهِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ يَلْعَبُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا الَّذِي أَسْأَمُ فَاقْدُرُوا قَدْرَ الْجَارِيَةِ الْحَدِيثَةِ السِّنِّ الْحَرِيصَةِ عَلَى اللَّهْوِ
The going out of women for their needs
Narrated `Aisha:
Once Sa`da bint Zam`a went out at night for some need, and `Umar saw her, and recognizing her, he
said (to her), "By Allah, O Sa`da! You cannot hide yourself from us." So she returned to the Prophet (ﷺ)
and mentioned that to him while he was sitting in my dwelling taking his supper and holding a bone
covered with meat in his hand. Then the Divine Inspiration was revealed to him and when that state
was over, he (the Prophet (ﷺ) was saying: "O women! You have been allowed by Allah to go out for your
needs."
حَدَّثَنَا فَرْوَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ خَرَجَتْ سَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ لَيْلاً فَرَآهَا عُمَرُ فَعَرَفَهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّكِ وَاللَّهِ يَا سَوْدَةُ مَا تَخْفَيْنَ عَلَيْنَا فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَهْوَ فِي حُجْرَتِي يَتَعَشَّى وَإِنَّ فِي يَدِهِ لَعَرْقًا فَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ فَرُفِعَ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ قَدْ أَذِنَ لَكُنَّ أَنْ تَخْرُجْنَ لِحَوَائِجِكُنَّ
The permission taken by a woman from her husband to go to the mosque
Narrated Salim's father:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If the wife of anyone of you asks permission to go to the mosque, he should not
forbid her."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَتِ امْرَأَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَلاَ يَمْنَعْهَا
Visiting or looking at women having foster suckling reltions
Narrated `Aisha:
My foster uncle came and asked permission (to enter) but I refused to admit him till I asked Allah's
Apostle about that. He said, "He is your uncle, so allow him to come in." I said, "O Allah's Messenger! I
have been suckled by a woman and not by a man." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "He is your uncle, so let him
enter upon you." And that happened after the order of Al-Hijab (compulsory veiling) was revealed.
All things which become unlawful because of blood relations are unlawful because of the
corresponding foster suckling relations.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ جَاءَ عَمِّي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَىَّ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَأْذَنِي لَهُ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ ضُرِبَ عَلَيْنَا الْحِجَابُ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا يَحْرُمُ مِنَ الْوِلاَدَةِ
A woman should not look at or touch the body of another woman to describe to her husband
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A woman should not look at or touch another woman to describe her to her
husband in such a way as if he was actually looking at her."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ تُبَاشِرِ الْمَرْأَةُ الْمَرْأَةَ فَتَنْعَتَهَا لِزَوْجِهَا كَأَنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا

"I will go round all my wives tonight."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
(The Prophet) Solomon son of (the Prophet) David said, "Tonight I will go round (i.e. have sexual
relations with) one hundred women (my wives) everyone of whom will deliver a male child who will
fight in Allah's Cause." On that an Angel said to him, "Say: 'If Allah will.' " But Solomon did not say
it and forgot to say it. Then he had sexual relations with them but none of them delivered any child
except one who delivered a half person. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If Solomon had said: 'If Allah will,' Allah
would have fulfilled his (above) desire and that saying would have made him more hopeful."

If a man is away for a long time, he should not enter his house at night.
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:

Seeking to beget children
Narrated Jabir:
I was with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in a Ghazwa, and when we returned, I wanted to hurry, while riding a slow
camel. A rider came behind me. I looked back and saw that the rider was Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . He said (to
me), "What makes you in such a hurry?" I replied, "I am newly married." He said, "Did you marry a
virgin or a matron?" I replied, "(Not a virgin but) a matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a young
girl with whom you could play and who could play with you?" Then when we approached (Medina)
and were going to enter (it), the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Wait till you enter (your homes) at night (in the first
part of the night) so that the ladies with unkempt hair may comb their hair, and those whose husbands
have been absent (for a long time) may shave their pubic hair." (The sub-narrator, Hashim said: A
reliable narrator told me that the Prophet (ﷺ) added in this Hadith: "(Seek to beget) children! Children, O
Jabir!")

Seeking to beget children
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If you enter (your town) at night (after coming from a journey), do not enter upon
your family till the woman whose husband was absent (from the house) shaves her pubic hair and the
woman with unkempt hair, combs her hair" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) further said, "(O Jabir!) Seek to have
offspring, seek to have offspring!"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَيَّارٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ لَيْلاً فَلاَ تَدْخُلْ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ حَتَّى تَسْتَحِدَّ الْمُغِيبَةُ وَتَمْتَشِطَ الشَّعِثَةُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَعَلَيْكَ بِالْكَيْسِ الْكَيْسِ تَابَعَهُ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ وَهْبٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْكَيْسِ
The woman should shave her pubic hair, and should comb the hair.
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) in Ghazwa, and when we returned and approached Medina, I wanted to
hurry while riding a slow camel. A rider overtook me and pricked my camel with a spear which he
had, whereupon my camel started running as fast as any other fast camel you may see. I looked back,
and behold, the rider was Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . I said, "O Allah's Messenger! I am newly married " He asked,
"Have you got married?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "A virgin or a matron?" I replied, "(Not a virgin)
but a matron" He said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you could play with her and she
with you?" When we reached (near Medina) and were going to enter it, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Wait till
