It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has firm faith in Allah Almighty and the Last Day should honour and respect his neighbour; whoever believes in Allah Almighty and the Last Day should honour his guest; whoever believes in Allah Almighty and the Last Day should speak good with his tongue or else remain silent; and whoever among your women believes in Allah Almighty and the Last Day must never enter the (public) hammam."
The narrator relates: I conveyed this hadith to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) during his caliphate, so he sent a letter to Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm asking him to enquire of Muhammad bin Thabit about this hadith he narrated, for he is an approved and trustworthy narrator. So he asked him and then wrote a reply to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him), after which he prohibited women from going to the hammam. Imam Ibn Hibban and Imam al-Hakim declared this hadith sahih (authentic).
