Musnad Abi Ya'la 6585 — one day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, having
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - انْصَرَفَ مِنَ الصُّبْحِ يَوْمًا ، فَأَتَى النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِنَّ ، فَقَالَ : يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ ، مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَوَاقِصِ عُقُولٍ وَدِينٍ أَذْهَبَ بِقُلُوبِ ذَوِي الْأَلْبَابِ مِنْكُنَّ ، وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَتَقَرَّبْنَ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّ .
وَكَانَتْ فِي النِّسَاءِ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَانْطَلَقَتْ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ بِمَا سَمِعَتْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَخَذَتْ حُلِيًّا لَهَا ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : أَيْنَ تَذْهَبِينَ بِهَذَا الْحُلِيِّ ؟ قَالَتْ : أَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولِهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ، فَقَالَ : هَلُمِّي وَيْلَكِ ، تَصَدَّقِي بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَلَدِي ، فَإِنَّا لَهُ مَوْضِعٌ .
فَقَالَتْ : لَا وَاللهِ حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَذَهَبَتْ تَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالُوا : هَذِهِ زَيْنَبُ تَسْتَأْذِنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّ الزَّيَانِبِ هِيَ ؟ قَالَ : امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ .
قَالَ : ائْذَنُوا لَهَا ، فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ مِنْكَ مَقَالَةً ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ ، وَأَخَذْتُ حُلِيًّا أَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَإِلَيْكَ ، رَجَاءَ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَنِي اللهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ، فَقَالَ لِيَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : تَصَدَّقِي بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى بَنِيَّ ، فَإِنَّا لَهُ مَوْضِعٌ ، فَقُلْتُ : حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : تَصَدَّقِي عَلَى بَنِيهِ وَعَلَيْهِ ، فَإِنَّهُمْ لَهُ مَوْضِعٌ .
ثُمَّ قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَرَأَيْتَ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْكَ حِينَ وَقَفْتَ عَلَيْنَا : مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَوَاقِصِ عُقُولٍ قَطُّ وَلَا دِينٍ أَذْهَبَ بِقُلُوبِ ذَوِي الْأَلْبَابِ مِنْكُنَّ ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَمَا نُقْصَانُ دِينِنَا وَعُقُولِنَا ؟
قَالَ : أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتُ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ دِينِكُنَّ : فَالْحَيْضَةُ الَّتِي تُصِيبُكُنَّ ، تَمْكُثُ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ تَمْكُثَ لَا تُصَلِّي وَلَا تَصُومُ ، فَذَلِكَ نُقْصَانُ دِينِكُنَّ .
وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتُ مِنْ نُقْصَانِ عُقُولِكُنَّ : إِنَّمَا شَهَادَةُ الْمَرْأَةِ نِصْفُ شَهَادَةٍ .
وَكَانَتْ فِي النِّسَاءِ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَانْطَلَقَتْ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ بِمَا سَمِعَتْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَخَذَتْ حُلِيًّا لَهَا ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : أَيْنَ تَذْهَبِينَ بِهَذَا الْحُلِيِّ ؟ قَالَتْ : أَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولِهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ، فَقَالَ : هَلُمِّي وَيْلَكِ ، تَصَدَّقِي بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَلَدِي ، فَإِنَّا لَهُ مَوْضِعٌ .
فَقَالَتْ : لَا وَاللهِ حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَذَهَبَتْ تَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالُوا : هَذِهِ زَيْنَبُ تَسْتَأْذِنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّ الزَّيَانِبِ هِيَ ؟ قَالَ : امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), having finished the morning prayer, came towards the women in the mosque, stood by them and said: "O assembly of women, I have not seen anyone deficient in intellect and religion who overpowers the hearts of men of sound understanding more than you. And I have seen that most of the people of Hellfire on the Day of Resurrection will be you; so draw near to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, as much as you can." Among those women was the wife of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) (Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her)). She went to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and told him what she had heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then she took some of her jewellery, and Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Where are you going with this jewellery?" She replied: "I want to draw near through it to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and to His Messenger (peace be upon him), so that perhaps Allah Almighty will not make me one of the people of Hell." At this Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Come here, for goodness' sake! Give it in charity to me and to my children, for we are more deserving of it." She replied: "No, by Allah, that will not happen until I take permission from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (about it)." So she went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask permission to enter, and (the attendants) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this is Zaynab asking permission." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Which Zaynab?" It was said: "The wife of Abdullah bin Mas'ud." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give her permission to come in." Then she entered and said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I heard a saying of yours, then I went back and told Ibn Mas'ud about it, and I took some of my jewellery so that I might draw near through it to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and to you, hoping that Allah would not include me among the people of Hell. But Ibn Mas'ud said to me that I should give this jewellery in charity to him and his sons, for they are more deserving of it, so I thought I would first take permission from you (peace and blessings be upon him)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give it in charity to his sons and to him (your husband), for they are its rightful recipients." Then Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is your view about the saying I heard from you when you came to us: 'I have not seen anyone deficient in intellect and religion who overpowers the hearts of men of sound understanding more than you'? O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is the deficiency of our religion and our intellect?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As for what I meant by the deficiency of your religion, it is the menstruation that afflicts you, because of which one of you remains (away from acts of worship) for as many days as Allah wills, neither praying nor fasting; that is the deficiency of your religion. And as for what I meant by the deficiency of your intellect, it is that the testimony of a woman is equal to half a testimony (compared with the testimony of a man)."
