حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أُمَيْمَةَ بِنْتَ رُقَيْقَةَ

تَقُولُ جِئْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نِسْوَةٍ نُبَايِعُهُ فَقَالَ لَنَا «فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّ وَأَطَقْتُنَّ إِنِّي لَا أُصَافِحُ النِّسَاءَ»

He heard Umaimah bint Ruqaiqah say: “I came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) with some other women, to offer our pledge to him. He said to us: ‘(I accept your pledge) with regard to what you are able to do. But I do not shake hands with women.’”

উমায়মা বিনতে রুকায়কা (রাঃ) বলেন, বায়আত হওয়ার উদ্দেশ্যে আমি কতক মহিলা সমভিব্যাহারে মহানবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর নিকট উপস্থিত হলাম। তিনি আমাদের বলেন, যতদূর তোমাদের সামর্থ্যে ও শক্তিতে কুলায়। আমি মহিলাদের সাথে মুসাফাহা (করমর্দন) করি না।

امیمہ بنت رقیقہ رضی اللہ عنہا کہتی ہیں کہ میں کچھ عورتوں کے ہمراہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس بیعت کرنے آئی، تو آپ نے ہم سے فرمایا: ( امام کی بات سنو اور مانو ) جہاں تک تمہارے اندر طاقت و قوت ہو، میں عورتوں سے ہاتھ نہیں ملاتا ۱؎۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakar bin Abu Syaibah]; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan bin 'Uyainah] bahwa ia mendengar [Muhammad bin Al Munkadir] berkata; Aku mendengar [Umaimah binti Ruqaiqah], ia berkata; "Aku bersama beberapa wanita lain menemui Nabi untuk berbai'at." Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda kepada kami: 'Apa yang kalian mampu untuk melaksanakannya. Sesungguhnya aku tidak berjabat tangan dengan kaum wanita

Ümeyme bint-i Rukayka (r.a.)'dan; Şöyle demiştir: Ben birkaç kadın içinde Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in yanına varıp O'na biat ettik. Peygamber bize (acıması nedeniyle); «Gücünüz yettiği ve takat getirebildiğiniz kadar. Şüphesiz ben kadınlarla tokalaşmam,» buyurdu

What it means

’Umaymah bint Ruqayqah (may Allah be pleased with her) informed that she came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) along with a group of women from the Ansār to pledge allegiance to him that they would not associate anything with Allah, they would not steal, they would not commit adultery, they would not bring forth falsehood that they fabricate between their hands and feet, and they would not disobey him in what is right.

Thereupon, he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: As much as you are able and can bear. We said: Allah and His Messenger are more merciful to us. Come, let us pledge allegiance to you, O Messenger of Allah, by shaking hands as men do.

He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, I do not shake hands with women; rather, my statement and pledge to a hundred women is like my statement to one woman.

What it teaches

  • Clarifying the way the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) took the pledge of allegiance from women.
  • The prohibition of shaking hands with non-Mahram women.
  • Religious duties are dependent on ability and capability.
