حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ امْرَأَةً بِمَكَّةَ وَهُوَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : « لَيْتَ عِنْدِي مَنْ يَرَاهَا ، وَمَنْ يُخْبِرُنِي عَنْهَا ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يُدْعَى هِيتٌ : أَنَا أَنْعَتُهَا لَكَ : إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ قُلْتَ : تَمْشِي عَلَى سِتٍّ ، وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ قُلْتَ : تَمْشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ ، فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَرَى هَذَا مُنْكَرًا ، أُرَاهُ يَعْرِفُ أَمْرَ النِّسَاءِ . وَكَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى سَوْدَةَ فَنَهَاهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ نَفَاهُ ، وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى إِمْرَةِ عُمَرَ ، فَجَهِدَ ، فَكَانَ يُرَخِّصُ لَهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْمَدِينَةَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ، فَيَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he proposed marriage to a woman in Makkah while he was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "I wish I had someone who could see her and tell me about her." A man called Hit said: "I will describe her to you: when she comes towards you, you would say she walks on six, and when she turns away, you would say she walks on four." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "I consider this objectionable; I think he is familiar with the affairs of women." That man used to visit Sayyidah Sawdah (may Allah be pleased with her), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him to enter upon her. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, he exiled him, and he remained in that state until the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, and he fell into severe hardship (from hunger and want). So (Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)) used to permit him to come into Madinah on Friday so that charity could be given to him.
