Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 20392 — Nudbah, the freed slave-woman

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، ثنا عَمِّي، ثنا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ الْأَعْرَجِ، مَوْلَى عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ نُدْبَةَ، مَوْلَاةِ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ، أَنَّ مَيْمُونَةَ أَرْسَلْتَهَا إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ أُخْتِهَا - قَالَتْ: فَجِئْتُهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ عَزَلَ فِرَاشَهُ عَنْ فِرَاشِ امْرَأَتِهِ بِنْتِ مِشْرَحٍ، فَقَالَتْ: أَيْنَ هُوَ أَمُغَاضِبٍ هُوَ امْرَأَتَهُ؟ قِيلَ: لَا، وَلَكِنَّهَا إِذَا حَاضَتِ اعْتَزَلَهَا، قَالَتْ: فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى مَيْمُونَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا كَيْفَ وَجَدْتُهُ، قَالَتْ: ادْعِيهِ لِي فَدَعَوْتُهُ لَهَا، فَقَالَتْ: أَتَرْغَبُ عَمَّا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَاللهِ «كَانَ لَيُبَاشِرُ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ يَبْلُغُ أَنْصَافَ الْفَخِذَيْنِ أَوِ الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ»
Nudbah, the freed slave-woman of Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrated that Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) sent her to Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who was her sister's son. She said: I came to him and saw that he had set his bed apart from the bed of his wife, the daughter of Mishrah. So I asked: Where is he? Is he angry with his wife? It was said: No; rather, when she menstruates he keeps away from her. She said: So I returned to Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) and told her how I had found him. She said: Call him to me. So I called him for her, and she said: Do you dislike what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do? By Allah, "He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to touch any of his wives while she had on a waist-wrapper reaching the middle of her thighs or her knees."
