Hadith 462
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، وَأَبُو مَعْمَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ تَرَكْنَا هَذَا الْبَابَ لِلنِّسَاءِ " ، قَالَ نَافِعٌ : فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ حَتَّى مَاتَ ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ : قَالَ عُمَرُ : وَهُوَ أَصَحُّ .
Ibn Umar reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If we left this door for women (it would have been better). Nafi said: Ibn Umar did not enter (the door) until his death. The other except Abd al-Warith said: This was said by Umar (and not by Ibn Umar) and that is more correct.

462. Commentary:
➊ It is evident that when even in a pure place and environment like the mosque, the mixing of women and men is not permitted, then at other places and occasions, even greater caution is required.
➋ The author of Awn al-Ma‘bud writes that this hadith can be both marfu‘ (attributed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and mawquf (attributed to a Companion). ‘Abd al-Warith is trustworthy, and his addition is acceptable.
