حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ لَوْ أَدْرَکَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أَحْدَثَ النِّسَائُ لَمَنَعَهُنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ کَمَا مُنِعَهُ نِسَائُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالَ يَحْيَی فَقُلْتُ لِعَمْرَةَ أَمُنِعَهُ نِسَائُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 569
Aishah (Allah be pleased with her), wife of the prophet ﷺ, said ; if the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had seen what the women have invented, he would have prevented them from visiting the mosque (for praying), as the women of the children of the Israel were prevented. Yahya (the narrator) said; I asked ‘Umrah ; were the women of Israel prevented? She said: yes.
