[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ regarding women we were selling, so the Prophet ﷺ took an oath from us, "You should not associate anything with Allah" (Al-Mumtahanah 12). The verse says, "To the best of your ability." We said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, aren't you more merciful to us than ourselves?" We said, "O Messenger of Allah, don't you shake hands with us?" He said, "I do not shake hands with women. My saying to one woman is like saying it to a hundred women."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي نِسَاءٍ نُبَايِعُهُ فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ {أَنْ لَا يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللهِ} [الممتحنة 12] الْآيَةُ قَالَ «فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّ أَطَقْتُنَّ» قُلْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْحَمُ بِنَا مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا تُصَافِحُنَا؟ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَا أُصَافِحُ النِّسَاءَ مَا قَوْلِي لِامْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَّا كَقَوْلِي لَمِائَةِ امْرَأَةٍ»
