وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - انْصَرَفَ يَوْمًا مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَأَتَى النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَقَالَ : " يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ ، مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَوَاقِصِ عَقْلٍ وَدِينٍ أَذْهَبَ بِقُلُوبِ ذَوِي الْأَلْبَابِ مِنْكُنَّ ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَتَقَرَّبْنَ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّ " . وَكَانَ فِي النِّسَاءِ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَأَتَتْ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ بِمَا سَمِعَتْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَخَذَتْ حُلِيًّا لَهَا ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : أَيْنَ تَذْهَبِينَ بِهَذَا الْحُلِيِّ ؟ قَالَتْ : أَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ رَجَاءَ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ . فَقَالَ : وَيْلَكِ هَلُمِّي فَتَصَدَّقِي عَلَيَّ ، وَعَلَى وَلَدِي ، فَإِنَّا لَهُ مَوْضِعٌ ، فَقَالَتْ : لَا وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - . فَذَهَبَتْ تَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَقَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : هَذِهِ زَيْنَبُ تَسْتَأْذِنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " أَيُّ الزَّيَانِبُ هِيَ ؟ " قَالُوا : امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : " ائْذَنُوا لَهَا " . فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ مِنْكَ مَقَالَةً فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَحَدَّثْتُهُ ، فَأَخَذْتُ حُلِيِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَيْكَ رَجَاءَ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ . فَقَالَ لِي ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : تَصَدَّقِي بِهِ عَلَيَّ ، وَعَلَى وَلَدِي ، فَإِنَّا لَهُ مَوْضِعٌ ، فَقُلْتُ : حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " تَصَدَّقِي بِهِ عَلَيْهِ ، وَعَلَى بَنِيهِ ، فَإِنَّهُمْ لَهُ مَوْضِعٌ " . ثُمَّ قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَرَأَيْتَ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْكَ حِينَ وَقَفْتَ عَلَيْنَا " مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَوَاقِصِ عَقْلٍ [ قَطْ ] وَلَا دِينٍ أَذْهَبَ بِقُلُوبِ ذَوِي الْأَلْبَابِ مِنْكُنَّ ؟ " قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَمَا نُقْصَانُ دِينِنَا وَعُقُولِنَا ؟ قَالَ : " أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتُ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ دِينِكُنَّ فَالْحَيْضَةُ الَّتِي تُصِيبُكُنَّ تَمْكُثُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَمْكُثَ لَا تُصَلِّي وَلَا تَصُومُ ، فَذَلِكُنَّ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ دِينِكُنَّ ، وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتُ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ عُقُولِكُنَّ فَشَهَادَتُكُنَّ إِنَّمَا شَهَادَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ نِصْفُ شَهَادَةِ الرَّجُلِ " .
قُلْتُ : فِي الصَّحِيحِ طَرَفٌ مِنْهُ .

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the morning (Fajr) prayer and came to the women in the mosque. He stopped by them and said: O assembly of women! I have not seen any beings deficient in intellect and religion who carry away the hearts of men of understanding more quickly than you. And I have seen that on the Day of Resurrection the majority of the people of Hell will be from you, so strive as much as you can to draw near to Allah Almighty. Among those women was the wife of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him). She came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and told him what she had heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). She took her jewellery. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Where are you going with your jewellery? She said: Through it I wish to draw near to Allah Almighty and His Messenger, hoping that Allah Almighty will not make me one of the people of Hell. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Woe to you! Bring it and give it in charity to me and to my children, for we are deserving of it. She said: No, first I will go to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (and ask him about this). Then that woman went and sought permission to enter upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The people said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Zaynab is asking permission to come in. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Which Zaynab? The people said: The wife of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Let her come in. That woman came into the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I heard your speech, then went back to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and told him about it. I took my jewellery so that I could draw near to Allah Almighty and to you, hoping that Allah Almighty would not make me one of the people of Hell. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: Give it (the jewellery) in charity to me and my children, for we are deserving of it. I said: Not until I take permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (will I do so). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give it (the jewellery) in charity to him and his children, for it is their right. Then that woman said: O Messenger of Allah! I heard you when you stopped by us. You said: I have not seen any beings deficient in intellect and religion who carry away the hearts of men of understanding more quickly than you. She said: O Messenger of Allah! What is the deficiency in our religion and our intellect? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The deficiency in your religion that I mentioned refers to the menstruation that befalls you women; a woman remains in it for as long as Allah wills, and during that time she neither prays nor fasts. This is the deficiency in your religion. And as for the deficiency in intellect that I mentioned, it refers to your testimony as women: the testimony of a woman is half the testimony of a man.
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Part of this report is transmitted in the Sahih.
Ahmad and Abu Ya'la recorded it, and the narrators of Ahmad are thiqat (trustworthy).
