Arabic text

3583 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَزِّمِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «فِي ذُيُولِ النِّسَاءِ شِبْرًا» ، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: «إِذًا تَخْرُجَ سُوقُهُنَّ» ، قَالَ: «فَذِرَاعٌ»
