2613. Safwān bin Umayyah said: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and 'Amr bin Murrah came and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, Allāh has decreed that I be doomed, and He has not guided me to earn a living except by beating my tambourine with my hand; give me permission to sing without doing anything immoral.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'I will not give you permission, or honor you, nor give you what you want. You are lying, O enemy of Allāh. Allāh has granted you a good, lawful provision, but you have chosen the provision that Allāh has forbidden to you instead of that which He has permitted. If I had warned you before, I would have done such and such to you. Get away from me and repent to Allāh. If you do that again, after this warning, I will give you a painful beating and shave your head, to make an example of you, and I will banish you from among your people, and tell the young men of Al-Madinah to come and take your goods.' 'Amr stood up, suffering grief and humiliation that is known only to Allāh. When he went away, the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Those sinners, whoever among them dies without having repented, Allāh will gather him on the Day of Resurrection just as he was in this world, effeminate and naked, with not even a piece of cloth to conceal him from the people. Every time he gets up, he will fall to the ground.”’ (Maudu’)

2613 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ الْجُرْجَانِيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ بِشْرَ بْنَ نُمَيْرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مَكْحُولًا يَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ سَمِعَ يَزِيدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَاءَهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ قُرَّةَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ كَتَبَ عَلَيَّ الشِّقْوَةَ، فَمَا أُرَانِي أُرْزَقُ إِلَّا مِنْ دُفِّي بِكَفِّي، فَأْذَنْ لِي فِي الْغِنَاءِ فِي غَيْرِ فَاحِشَةٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا آذَنُ لَكَ، وَلَا كَرَامَةَ، وَلَا نُعْمَةَ عَيْنٍ، كَذَبْتَ، أَيْ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ، لَقَدْ رَزَقَكَ اللَّهُ طَيِّبًا حَلَالًا، فَاخْتَرْتَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ رِزْقِهِ مَكَانَ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَكَ مِنْ حَلَالِهِ، وَلَوْ كُنْتُ تَقَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكَ لَفَعَلْتُ بِكَ وَفَعَلْتُ. قُمْ عَنِّي، وَتُبْ إِلَى اللَّهِ. أَمَا إِنَّكَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ بَعْدَ التَّقْدِمَةِ إِلَيْكَ، ضَرَبْتُكَ ضَرْبًا وَجِيعًا، وَحَلَقْتُ رَأْسَكَ مُثْلَةً، وَنَفَيْتُكَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ، وَأَحْلَلْتُ سَلَبَكَ نُهْبَةً لِفِتْيَانِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ» . فَقَامَ عَمْرٌو، وَبِهِ مِنَ الشَّرِّ وَالْخِزْيِ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَؤُلَاءِ الْعُصَاةُ، مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْهُمْ بِغَيْرِ تَوْبَةٍ حَشَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَمَا كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا مُخَنَّثًا عُرْيَانًا لَا يَسْتَتِرُ مِنَ النَّاسِ بِهُدْبَةٍ، كُلَّمَا قَامَ صُرِعَ»

Commentary

A eunuch is a person that is genderless and as man - woman, cannot lead a married life. Due to their resemblance to a male or female they can be considered either one of them accordingly. In Arab culture an eunuch looks like a male, wears men's clothes and works normally outdoors. Women should veil themselves from the eunuch who is particularly more interested in female matters. A eunuch who is not interested in female matters and his only interest is in other household matters or foods etc., to whom the Noble Qur'an in Surut An-Nur 24: 31 refers as "male servants who lack vigor" can be counted among those who have no potency. Women are not required to wear Hijāb before them.
