Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَبَاحٌ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِهِمْ عَنْ مَوْلَى لِأَسْمَاءَ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ ذَوِي حَاجَةٍ يَأْتَزِرُونَ بِهَذِهِ النَّمِرَةِ فَكَانَتْ إِنَّمَا تَبْلُغُ أَنْصَافَ سُوقِهِمْ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يَعْنِي النِّسَاءَ فَلَا تَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهَا حَتَّى نَرْفَعَ رُءُوسَنَا كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ تَنْظُرَ إِلَى عَوْرَاتِ الرِّجَالِ مِنْ صِغَرِ أُزُرِهِمْ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخِي الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ مَوْلًى لِأَسْمَاءَ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُنَّ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ.
English Translation
Ibrahim b. Khalid told us: Rabah told us, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from one of them, from a freedman of Asma', from Asma', that she said: The Muslims in need used to wrap themselves with this striped cloth, and it would only reach halfway down their shins or thereabouts. I heard the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) say, 'Whoever believes in God and the Last Day' — meaning the women — 'let her not raise her head until we raise our heads,' for fear that they might look at the private parts of the men because of the smallness of their waist-wrappers. Abd al-A'la told us, from Ma'mar, from Abd Allah b. Muslim b. Shihab, brother of al-Zuhri, from a freedman of Asma', from Asma' bint Abi Bakr, that the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Whoever among you women believes in God and the Last Day,' and he mentioned the hadith.
