حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا النَّهَّاسُ بْنُ قَهْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شَدَّادٌ أَبُو عَمَّارٍ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا وَامْرَأَةٌ سَفْعَائُ الْخَدَّيْنِ کَهَاتَيْنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَوْمَأَ يَزِيدُ بِالْوُسْطَی وَالسَّبَّابَةِ امْرَأَةٌ آمَتْ مِنْ زَوْجِهَا ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ حَبَسَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَی يَتَامَاهَا حَتَّی بَانُوا أَوْ مَاتُوا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5149
Narrated Awf ibn Malik al-Ashjai: The Prophet ﷺ said: I and a woman whose cheeks have become black shall on the Day of Resurrection be like these two (pointing to the middle and forefinger), i. e. a woman of rank and beauty who has been bereft of her husband and devotes herself to her fatherless children till they go their separate ways or die.
