حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ عِنْدَهَا وَفِي الْبَيْتِ مُخَنَّثٌ، فَقَالَ الْمُخَنَّثُ لأَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ إِنْ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الطَّائِفَ غَدًا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى ابْنَةِ غَيْلاَنَ، فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ يَدْخُلَنَّ هَذَا عَلَيْكُنَّ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Um Salama:that while the Prophet (ﷺ) was with her, there was an effeminate man in the house. The effeminate man said to Um Salama's brother, `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiyya, "If Allah should make you conquer Ta'if tomorrow, I recommend that you take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) for (she is so fat) that she shows four folds of flesh when facing you and eight when she turns her back." Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to us), "This (effeminate man) should not enter upon you (anymore)

Umm Salama bataati hain: Jab Nabi (SAW) unke paas the, ghar mein ek zanaana mard (effeminate) tha. Us zanaana mard ne Umm Salama ke bhai, Abdullah bin Abi Umaiyya, se kaha, 'Agar Allah tumhein kal Taif fatah karne de, to main sujhaav deta hoon ke tum Ghailan ki beti se (nikaah) karo, kyunke wo itni mote hain ke saamne se dekhne par unke chaar (moti) sikan dikhaayi deti hain, aur peeth phirti hain to aath.' Isper Nabi (SAW) ne (hamse) farmaya, 'Ye (zanaana mard) ab tumhaare paas nahi aana chaahiye.'
