حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ الْمَعْنَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ سِمَاکٍ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی الْکَعْبَةِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَکَيْفَ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ إِلَی بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی وَمَا کَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَکُمْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4679
Abdullah bin Umar reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: I did not see more defective in respect of reason and religion than the wise of you (women). A woman asked: What is the defect of reason and religion ? He replied: The defect of reason is the testimony of two women for one man, and the defect of faith is that one of you does not fast during Ramadan (when one is menstruating), and keep away from prayer for some days.
