حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ ، أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ ، أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ، أَخْبَرَتْهَا ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ عِنْدَهَا وَفِي الْبَيْتِ مُخَنَّثٌ ، فَقَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ : "

يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ غَدًا الطَّائِفَ فَإِنِّي أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى بِنْتِ غَيْلَانَ ، فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ
