(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
الْمُسْتَمِرُّ بْنُ الرَّيَّانِ الْإِيَادِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو نَضْرَةَ الْعَبْدِيُّ ، عَنْ
أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ الدُّنْيَا ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ ، فَاتَّقُوهَا وَاتَّقُوا النِّسَاءَ " . ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ نِسْوَةً ثَلَاثًا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ، امْرَأَتَيْنِ طَوِيلَتَيْنِ تُعْرَفَانِ ، وَامْرَأَةً قَصِيرَةً لَا تُعْرَفُ ، فَاتَّخَذَتْ رِجْلَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبٍ ، وَصَاغَتْ خَاتَمًا ، فَحَشَتْهُ مِنْ أَطْيَبِ الطِّيبِ الْمِسْكِ ، وَجَعَلَتْ لَهُ غَلَقًا ، فَإِذَا مَرَّتْ بِالْمَلَإِ أَوْ بِالْمَجْلِسِ قَالَتْ بِهِ ، فَفَتَحَتْهُ ، فَفَاحَ رِيحُهُ ، قَالَ الْمُسْتَمِرُّ بِخِنْصَرِهِ الْيُسْرَى : فَأَشْخَصَهَا دُونَ أَصَابِعِهِ الثَّلَاثِ شَيْئًا ، وَقَبَضَ الثَّلَاثَةَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while mentioning the world, said: "The world is very lush, green, and sweet, so beware of it and of women." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned three women from the Children of Israel, two of whom were so tall that they could be recognized from afar, and one was of short stature. She had two artificial wooden legs made (to increase her height), so when she walked, the women on her right and left appeared short. Then she had a gold ring made and filled the space beneath its gem with the best fragrance, musk. Now, whenever she passed by any gathering, she would move her ring and its fragrance would spread there.
