English narration
Narrated by عائشة بنت أبي بكر الصديق
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: A mukhannath (eunuch) used to enter upon the wives of Prophet ﷺ. They (the people) counted him among those who were free of physical needs. One day the Prophet ﷺ entered upon us when he was with one of his wives, and was describing the qualities of a woman, saying: When she comes forward, she comes forward with four (folds in her stomach), and when she goes backward, she goes backward with eight (folds in her stomach). The Prophet ﷺ said: Do I not see that this (man) knows what here lies. Then they (the wives) observed veil from him.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَوْرٍ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِي ، وَهِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُخَنَّثٌ فَكَانُوا يَعُدُّونَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ وَهُوَ يَنْعَتُ امْرَأَةً ، فَقَالَ : "
إِنَّهَا إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ أَقْبَلَتْ بِأَرْبَعٍ ، وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ أَدْبَرَتْ بِثَمَانٍ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَلَا أَرَى هَذَا يَعْلَمُ مَا هَاهُنَا ، لَا يَدْخُلَنَّ عَلَيْكُنَّ هَذَا فَحَجَبُوهُ
