5235. Narrated Umm Salama that while the Prophet was with her, there was an effeminate man in the house. The effeminate man said to Umm Salma's brother, 'Abdullãh bin Abi Umaiyya, "If Allah should make you conquer At -Tã'if tomorrow, I recommend that you take the daughter of Ghailän (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 said (to us), "This (effiminate man) should never enter upon you (0 women) ." (See H. 4324)

5235 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ عِنْدَهَا وَفِي البَيْتِ مُخَنَّثٌ، فَقَالَ المُخَنَّثُ لِأَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ: إِنْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا، أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى بِنْتِ غَيْلاَنَ، فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لاَ يَدْخُلَنَّ هَذَا عَلَيْكُنَّ»
