Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 7457

وَعَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ امْرَأَةً بِمَكَّةَ ، وَهُوَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : لَيْتَ عِنْدِي مَنْ يَرَاهَا وَمَنْ يُخْبِرُنِي عَنْهَا ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يُدْعَى هِيتٌ : أَنَا أَنْعَتُهَا لَكَ إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ قُلْتَ تَمْشِي عَلَى سِتٍّ ، وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ قُلْتَ : تَمْشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " أَرَى هَذَا مُنْكَرًا أَرَاهُ يَعْرِفُ أَمْرَ النِّسَاءِ " . وَكَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى سَوْدَةَ فَنَهَاهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ نَفَاهُ ، وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَمَرَهُ عُمَرُ فَجَهِدَ ، وَكَانَ يُرَخِّصُ لَهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْمَدِينَةَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَيُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهِ .
رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَفِيهِ عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ أَبُو أُمَيَّةَ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he proposed marriage to a woman in Makkah while he was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: If only someone would see this woman and tell me about her. A man named Hit said: I will describe her to you: when she comes forward, you would say she walks with six folds, and when she turns away, you would say she walks with four folds. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I consider this objectionable, and I think this man is acquainted with the affairs of women." That man used to visit Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him from visiting Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) thereafter. When he came to Madinah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had him exiled, and his situation remained so until, in the time of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he was stricken by hunger, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) permitted him to come into Madinah on Fridays and to be given charity.
Abu Ya'la and al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains Abd al-Karim Abu Umayyah, who is da'if (weak).
