Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ مَوْلًى لِأَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلَا تَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهَا حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ الرِّجَالُ رُءُوسَهُمْ قَالَتْ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ أُزُرَهُمْ كَانَتْ قَصِيرَةً مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تَنْكَشِفَ عَوْرَاتُهُمْ إِذَا سَجَدُوا.
English Translation
Affan told us: Wuhayb told us: al-Nu'man b. Rashid told me, from the nephew of al-Zuhri, from a freedman of Asma' bint Abi Bakr, from Asma', who said: The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'O company of women, whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let her not raise her head until the men raise their heads.' She said, 'That was because their waist-wrappers were short, for fear their private parts would be uncovered when they prostrated.'
