Musnad Abi Ya'la 4433 — Sayyidah Sawdah was a large and tall woman
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطُّفَاوِيُّ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : كَانَتْ سَوْدَةُ امْرَأَةً جَسِيمَةً ، إِذَا خَرَجَتْ أَشْرَفَتْ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ ، فَرَآهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : انْظُرِي كَيْفَ تَخْرُجِينَ ، فَوَاللهِ مَا تَخْفَيْنَ عَلَيْنَا إِذَا خَرَجْتِ ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ سَوْدَةُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَفِي يَدِهِ عَرْقٌ ، قَالَ : فَمَادَ الْعَرْقُ مِنْ يَدِهِ مِنْ فَزَعِ الْوَحْيِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ جَعَلَ لَكُنَّ رُخْصَةً أَنْ تَخْرُجْنَ لِحَوَائِجِكُنَّ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) was a large and tall woman; when she went out, she stood out among the other women. Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saw her and said: "Consider how you go out, for by Allah, when you go out you are not hidden from us (rather, you are recognised)." Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while there was a meat bone in his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed hand. Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that because of the state of revelation, the meat bone in his (peace and blessings be upon him) hand began to shake. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has granted you (women) permission to go out for your needs."
