A man from the tribe of Hudhayl narrates: I saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him); his dwelling was outside the boundaries of the Haram and his place of prayer was within the boundaries of the Haram. The narrator says: Once, while I was with him, he saw Umm Sa'id, the daughter of Abu Jahl, with a bow slung over her shoulder, walking the way men walk. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Who is this?" I said: "This is Umm Sa'id bint Abi Jahl." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "They are not of us: the women who imitate men, and the men who imitate women."
Ahmad recorded it, and I do not know the man from Hudhayl. The rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
Al-Tabarani recorded it in abridged form; he did not mention the unnamed man from Hudhayl, so on that basis all of al-Tabarani's narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
