Chapter on etiquettes related to women's going out and their prayer in the mosque
Hadith 2505
عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَتْنِي زَيْنَبُ الثَّقَفِيَّةُ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهَا: ((إِذَا خَرَجَتْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ إِلَى الْعِشَاءِ فَلَا تَمَسَّ طِيبًا))
Sayyidah Zaynab Thaqafiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: When any of you goes for ‘Isha prayer, she should not apply perfume.
Hadith 2506
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: كُنَّ النِّسَاءُ يُصَلِّينَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْغَدَاةَ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجْنَ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ لَا يُعْرَفْنَ
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Women used to perform the morning prayer with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and when they returned, they were so wrapped in their cloaks that they could not be recognized.
Hadith 2507
(وَعَنْهَا مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) أَنَّ نِسَاءً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ كُنَّ يُصَلِّينَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصُّبْحَ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعْنَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِنَّ وَمَا يَعْرِفُهُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ
(Second chain) She says: Indeed, believing women used to perform the morning prayer with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), wrapped in their cloaks, and when they returned to their homes, due to the darkness, no one could recognize them.
Hadith 2508
عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ ذَوِي حَاجَةٍ يَأْتَزِرُونَ بِهَٰذِهِ النَّمِرَةِ فَكَانَتْ إِنَّمَا تَبْلُغُ أَنْصَافَ سُوقِهِمْ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يَعْنِي النِّسَاءَ فَلَا تَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهَا حَتَّى نَرْفَعَ رُؤُوسَنَا كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ إِلَى عَوْرَاتِ الرِّجَالِ مِنْ صِغَرِ أُزُرِهِمْ))
Sayyida Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) says that since the Muslims were needy, they used to tie a (small) striped sheet as a lower garment, which would reach about halfway down their shins. Therefore, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Any woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day should not raise her head (from prostration) until we men have raised our heads." (The reason for this command was that) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked that the gaze of women might fall upon the private parts of men due to their lower garments being short.
Hadith 2509
عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رِجَالٌ يُصَلُّونَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَاقِدِي أُزُرِهِمْ عَلَى رِقَابِهِمْ كَهَيْئَةِ الصِّبْيَانِ، فَيُقَالُ لِلنِّسَاءِ: لَا تَرْفَعْنَ رُؤُوسَكُنَّ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ الرِّجَالُ جُلُوسًا
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The men used to pray with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they would tie their lower garments around their necks like children. Therefore, the women were instructed not to raise their heads (from prostration) until the men sat up straight.
Hadith 2510
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ النِّسَاءَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ قُمْنَ وَثَبَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَثَبَتَ مَنْ صَلَّى مِنَ الرِّجَالِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، فَإِذَا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ الرِّجَالُ
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when women finished the obligatory prayers and said salam, they would stand up (to leave), but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the men who prayed with him would remain seated for as long as Allah willed. Then, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, all of them would stand up as well.
