The Prophet ﷺ came to me while there was an effeminate man sitting with me, and I heard him (i.e. the effeminate man) saying to ʿAbdullah bin Abi Umaiya, "O ʿAbdullah! See if Allah should make you conquer Ta'if tomorrow, then take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) as (she is so beautiful and fat that) she shows four folds of flesh when facing you, and eight when she turns her back." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "These (effeminate men) should never enter upon you (O women!)." Ibn Juraij said, "That effeminate man was called Hit." Narrated Hisham: The above narration and added extra, that at that time, the Prophet, was besieging Taif.  

عَنْ أُمِّهَا أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ؓ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَعِنْدِي مُخَنَّثٌ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا فَعَلَيْكَ بِابْنَةِ غَيْلاَنَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ يَدْخُلَنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَيْكُنَّ قَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ الْمُخَنَّثُ هِيتٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ بِهَذَا وَزَادَ وَهْوَ مُحَاصِرٌ الطَّائِفَ يَوْمَئِذٍ  

Abdullahb. Aba Umayya. if Allah grants you victory in Ta'if on the next day, I will show you the daughter of Ghailan for she has four folds (upon her body) on the front side of her stomach and eight folds on the back. Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard this and he said: Such (people) should not visit you.  

أَنَّ مُخَنَّثًا كَانَ عِنْدَهَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ لأَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا فَإِنِّي أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى بِنْتِ غَيْلاَنَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ قَالَ فَسَمِعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ يَدْخُلْ هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَيْكُمْ  

the Prophet ﷺ entered upon her, and heard an effeminate man saying to Abdullah bin Abu Umayyah: “If Allah enable us to conquer Ta'if tomorrow, I will show you a woman who comes in on four (roll of fat) and goes out on eight” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Throw them out of your houses.”  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَسَمِعَ مُخَنَّثًا وَهُو يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ إِنْ يَفْتَحِ اللَّهُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا دَلَلْتُكَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَخْرِجُوهُمْ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ  

that the Prophet Mohammad entered upon her, and he heard an effeminate man say to 'Abdullah bin Abu Umayyah: “If Allah enables you to conquer Ta'if tommorrow, I will show you a woman who comes in on four (rolls of fat) and goes out on eight.” The Messenger of Allah said: “Throw them out of your houses.”  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَسَمِعَ مُخَنَّثًا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ إِنْ يَفْتَحِ اللَّهُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا دَلَلْتُكَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخْرِجُوهُ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ  

Malik said from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that an effeminate man was with Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ. He said to Abdullah ibn Abi Umayya while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was listening. "Abdullah! If Allah grants you victory over Ta'if tomorrow, I will lead you to the daughter of Ghailan. She has four folds on her front and eight folds on her back." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This sort of man should not enter freely with you." (It was customary to allow men with no sexual inclination to enter freely where there were women).  

أَنَّ مُخَنَّثًا كَانَ عِنْدَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْمَعُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا فَأَنَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى ابْنَةِ غَيْلاَنَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَدْخُلَنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَيْكُمْ  

Abdullahb. Aba Umayya. if Allah grants you victory in Ta'if on the next day, I will show you the daughter of Ghailan for she has four folds (upon her body) on the front side of her stomach and eight folds on the back. Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard this and he said: Such (people) should not visit you. (Using translation from Muslim 2180)   

دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهَا مُخَنَّثٌ وَعِنْدَهَا أَخُوهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ وَالْمُخَنَّثُ يَقُولُلِعَبْدِ اللهِ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا فَعَلَيْكَ بِابْنَةِ غَيْلَانَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ قَالَ فَسَمِعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ هَذَا عَلَيْكِ  

[Machine] "A eunuch, the brother of Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah, said: 'If Allah grants you victory over Ta'if tomorrow, I will guide you to the daughter of Ghalan because she accepts with four and enjoys with eight.' The Prophet ﷺ heard him and said: 'Remove these people from your homes, do not let them enter upon you.'"  

مُخَنَّثٌ لَأَخِيهَا عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا دَلَلْتُكَ عَلَى بِنْتِ غَيْلَانَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَسَمِعَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَخْرِجُوا هَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ فَلَا يَدْخُلُوا عَلَيْكُمْ  

that the Prophet Mohammad entered upon her, and he heard an effeminate man say to 'Abdullah bin Abu Umayyah: “If Allah enables you to conquer Ta'if tommorrow, I will show you a woman who comes in on four (rolls of fat) and goes out on eight.” The Messenger of Allah said: “Throw them out of your houses.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1902)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَسَمِعَ مُخَنَّثًا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللهُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا دَلَلْتُكَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَخْرِجُوهُمْ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me while I had a eunuch with me, and he heard him saying to Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah, "O Abdullah, if Allah grants you victory over Ta'if tomorrow, then you should marry the daughter of Ghaylan, for she accepts four (sexual intercourses) and menstruates for eight days." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "These people should not enter upon you."  

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدِي مُخَنَّثٌ فَسَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا فَعَلَيْكَ بِابْنَةِ غَيْلَانَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَدْخُلْ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَيْكُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the house of Umm Salamah and saw a eunuch with them, saying, "O Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah, if Ta'if had been conquered, I would have shown you the beautiful daughter of Ghaylan, who kisses with four lips and has intercourse with eight." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "These people should not be allowed to enter upon you."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ بَيْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَرَأَى عِنْدَهُمْ مُخَنَّثًا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ لَوْ قَدْ فُتِحَتِ الطَّائِفُ لَأَرَيْتُكَ بَادِيَةَ بِنْتِ غَيْلَانَ وَهِي تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ»  

that while the Prophet ﷺ was with her, there was an effeminate man in the house. The effeminate man said to Um Salama's brother, ʿAbdullah bin Abi Umaiyya, "If Allah should make you conquer Ta'if tomorrow, I recommend that you take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) for (she is so fat) that she shows four folds of flesh when facing you and eight when she turns her back." Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said (to us), "This (effeminate man) should not enter upon you (anymore). (Using translation from Bukhārī 5235)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ عِنْدَهَا وَفِي الْبَيْتِ مُخَنَّثٌ فَقَالَ «الْمُخَنَّثُ لِأَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا فَإِنِّي أَدُلُّكُ عَلَى بِنْتِ غَيْلَانَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعَ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ» فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَيْكُمْ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the house of Umm Salamah and there was a mukhannath (effeminate man) with her. He said, "O Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah, if you had opened Ta'if, I would have shown you Badia bint Ghaylan. She accepts with four and satisfies with eight." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This should not be presented to you [referring to the mukhannath]."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ بَيْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَعِنْدَهَا مُخَنَّثٌ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ لَوْ قَدْ فَتَحْتَ الطَّائِفَ لَقَدْ أُرِيتُكَ بَادِيَةَ بِنْتَ غَيْلَانَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَدْخُلْ عَلَيْكُمْ هَذَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah entered upon her, and her brother Abdullah was with her, along with a eunuch who was saying, "O Abdullah, if Allah grants you victory over Ta'if, then you should marry the daughter of Ghailan, for she accepts with four and conceives with eight." The Prophet said to Umm Salama, "He should not enter upon you." Malik ibn Anas disagreed with him.  

دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهَا أَخُوهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَعِنْدَهَا مُخَنَّثٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ فَعَلَيْكَ بِابْنَةِ غَيْلَانَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ «لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ هَذَا عَلَيْكِ» خَالَفَهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ  

[Machine] To Abdullah bin Abi Umamah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abdullah, if Allah grants you victory over Taif tomorrow, I will guide you to the daughter of Ghaylan, for she accepts with four and measures with eight." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Those people should not enter upon you." Abu Abdullah al-Rahman said, "The narration of Hisham is more authentic, and Az-Zuhri has confirmed it from Urwah ibn Hisham, and Hisham is from the Hufadh (memorizers of hadith). The narration of Hammad ibn Salamah is incorrect."  

لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْمَعُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا فَأَنَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى ابْنَةِ غَيْلَانَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدِيثُ هِشَامٍ أَوْلَى بِالصَّوَابِ وَالزُّهْرِيُّ أَثْبَتُ فِي عُرْوَةَ مِنْ هِشَامٍ وَهِشَامٌ مِنَ الْحُفَّاظِ وَحَدِيثُ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ خَطَأٌ  

[Machine] To Abdullah, my brother: If Allah grants you victory over Ta'if tomorrow, then I will guide you to the daughter of Ghaylan, for she accepts with four and considers with eight. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard his statement and said, "These people should not enter upon you."  

لِعَبْدِ اللهِ أَخِي إِنْ فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمْ غَدًا الطَّائِفَ فَإِنِّي أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى ابْنَةِ غَيْلَانَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ فَسَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَيْكُمْ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad entered upon me and I had a eunuch with me. He heard him say to Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah, "O Abdullah, what if Allah grants victory over Ta'if tomorrow? Then you should take the daughter of Ghaylan, as she accepts with four and conceives with eight." The Prophet ﷺ said, "These [eunuchs] should not enter upon you." Sufyan said, "Ibn Abi Najeeh said, and his name is Hiyat."  

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدِي مُخَنَّثٌ فَسَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا فَعَلَيْكَ بِابْنَةِ غَيْلَانَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَيْكُمْ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ وَاسْمُهُ هِيتٌ
