English translation

4107. It was narrated from Muḥammad bin Thawr, from Ma'mar, from Az-Zuhri and Hishām bin 'Urwah, from 'Urwah, from 'Aishah, who said: “An effeminate man used to enter upon the wives of the Prophet ﷺ and they regarded him as being one of the 'old male servants who lack vigor'. The Prophet ﷺ entered upon us one day when he was with some of his wives, and he was describing a woman, saying: 'She shows four folds (of fat) when facing you, and eight when she turns her back.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'I see that he knows about these things. He should not enter upon you (any more).' And they observed Hijāb before him." (Ṣaḥīh)

4107 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَهِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُخَنَّثٌ، فَكَانُوا يَعُدُّونَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ، وَهُوَ يَنْعَتُ امْرَأَةً، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهَا إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ أَقْبَلَتْ بِأَرْبَعٍ، وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ أَدْبَرَتْ بِثَمَانٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَا أَرَى هَذَا يَعْلَمُ مَا هَاهُنَا، لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ عَلَيْكُنَّ هَذَا» فَحَجَبُوهُ،
