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»  

A mukhannath (eunuch) used to enter upon the wives of Prophet ﷺ. They (the people) counted him among those who were free of physical needs. One day the Prophet ﷺ entered upon us when he was with one of his wives, and was describing the qualities of a woman, saying: When she comes forward, she comes forward with four (folds in her stomach), and when she goes backward, she goes backward with eight (folds in her stomach). The Prophet ﷺ said: Do I not see that this (man) knows what here lies. Then they (the wives) observed veil from him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4107)   

دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَإِذَا مُخَنَّثٌ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ وَكَانُوا يَعُدُّونَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ فَسَمِعَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ أَقْبَلَتْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ أَدْبَرَتْ بِثَمَانٍ يَنْعَتُ امْرَأَةً فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَلَا أَرَى هَذَا يَعْلَمُ مَا هَاهُنَا لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاحْجُبُوهُ»

كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُخَنَّثٌ فَكَانُوا يَعُدُّونَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ وَهُوَ يَنْعَتُ امْرَأَةً فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ أَقْبَلَتْ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ أَدْبَرَتْ بِثَمَانٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَلَا أَرَى هَذَا يَعْلَمُ مَا هَاهُنَا لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَحَجَبُوهُ»  

[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
