4929. It was narrated from Umm Salamah that the Prophet ﷺ entered upon her, and there was a hermaphrodite with her, who was saying to her brother 'Abdullāh: "If Allāh grants victory over Aṭ-Ṭā'if tomorrow, I will show you a woman whose front has four, and whose behind has eight." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Expel them from your houses." (Sahih) Abū Dāwūd said: That woman had four rolls of fat in her midsection.
4929 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا مُخَنَّثٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخِيهَا: إِنْ يَفْتَحِ اللَّهُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا دَلَلْتُكَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ، وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَخْرِجُوهُمْ مِنْ بُيُوتِكُمْ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «الْمَرْأَةُ كَانَ لَهَا أَرْبَعُ عُكَنٍ فِي بَطْنِهَا»
