عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: لَوْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا رَأَيْنَا لَمَنَعَهُنَّ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ كَمَا مَنَعَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ نِسَاءَهَا، قُلْتُ لِعَمْرَةَ: وَمَنَعَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ نِسَاءَهَا؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had seen the conditions of women that we are seeing today, he would have forbidden them from the mosques, just as the Children of Israel had stopped their women. Yahya says: I asked Amrah whether the Children of Israel had really forbidden their women. She said: Yes.
