Musnad Abi Ya'la 5284 — the Prophet ﷺ, addressing the women, said
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ ذَرٍّ ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ مَهَانَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلنِّسَاءِ : تَصَدَّقْنَ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ، فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ عِلْيَةِ النِّسَاءِ : لِمَ - أَوْ فِيمَ أَوْ بِمَ - نَحْنُ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ ، وَتَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَ ، مَا مِنْ نَاقِصَةِ الْعَقْلِ وَالدِّينِ أَغْلَبُ لِلرِّجَالِ ذَوِي الْأَمْرِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ ، قِيلَ : فَمَا نُقْصَانُ عَقْلِهَا ؟ قَالَ : جَعَلَ شَهَادَةَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ بِشَهَادَةِ رَجُلٍ ، قِيلَ : فَمَا نُقْصَانُ دِينِهَا ؟ قَالَ : تَلْبَثُ لَا أَدْرِي كَمْ يَوْمٍ لَا تُصَلِّي .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), addressing the women, said: "Give charity, for (I have seen that) you are the majority of the people of Hell." At this, a woman who was not from among the women of high rank or the nobility said: "(O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him),) why is that? Or, for what reason will we be the majority there?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You curse a great deal and are ungrateful to your husbands. And I have not seen anyone, despite being deficient in intellect and religion, more able than you women to overpower the minds of very intelligent men in authority." It was asked: "What is the deficiency of her intellect?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has made the testimony of two women equal to the testimony of one man." Then it was asked: "What is the deficiency of her religion?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman (during her monthly days) spends some days, I do not know how many, without praying."
