4324. Narrated Umm Salama رضي الله عنها: 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 ‘Abdullāh bin Abī Umāiyya, “O ‘Abdullāh! See if Allāh should make you conquer Aṭ-Ṭā’if tomorrow, then take the daughter of Ghailān (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.”(1) 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 Hishām, the above narration and added, that at that time, the Prophet ﷺ was besieging Aṭ-Ṭā’if.

4324 - حَدَّثَنَا الحُمَيْدِيُّ، سَمِعَ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهَا أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، 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 صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لاَ يَدْخُلَنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَيْكُنَّ» قَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ: وَقَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: المُخَنَّثُ: هِيتٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ: بِهَذَا، وَزَادَ وَهُوَ مُحَاصِرُ الطَّائِفِ يَوْمَئِذٍ
