5887. Narrated Umm Salama that once the Prophet ﷺ was in her house, and an effeminate man was there too. The effeminate man said to 'Abdullāh, (Umm Salama's brother) "O 'Abdullāh! If Tā'if should be conquered tomorrow, I recommend you the daughter of Ghailān, for she is so fat that she has four curves in the front (of her belly) and eight at the back." So the Prophet ﷺ said (to his wives), "These effeminate (men) should not enter upon you (your houses)."

5887 - حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ: أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهَا: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ عِنْدَهَا وَفِي البَيْتِ مُخَنَّثٌ، فَقَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، إِنْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ غَدًا الطَّائِفَ، فَإِنِّي أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى بِنْتِ غَيْلاَنَ، فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لاَ يَدْخُلَنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَيْكُنَّ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: " تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ، يَعْنِي أَرْبَعَ عُكَنِ بَطْنِهَا، فَهِيَ تُقْبِلُ بِهِنَّ، وَقَوْلُهُ: وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ، يَعْنِي أَطْرَافَ هَذِهِ العُكَنِ الأَرْبَعِ، لِأَنَّهَا مُحِيطَةٌ بِالْجَنْبَيْنِ حَتَّى لَحِقَتْ، وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ بِثَمَانٍ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ بِثَمَانِيَةٍ، وَوَاحِدُ الأَطْرَافِ، وَهُوَ ذَكَرٌ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَطْرَافٍ "
