It is narrated from a man of Banu Hudhail, who says: I saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them), his house was outside the Haram and the Masjid al-Haram was inside. I was with him when he saw Abu Jahl’s daughter, Umm Sa’eed, who had a bow hanging and was walking like a man. Then he asked: Who is this woman? I said: This is Abu Jahl’s daughter, Umm Sa’eed. He said: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: She is not from among us who imitates men, and he is not from us who imitates women.
