dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse
frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion
than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What
is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one

intended to perform the Hajj Tamattu' with 'Umra Allah's Apostle told me to undo my hair and comb it and to postpone
the 'Umra. I did the same and completed the Hajj. On the night of Al-Hasba (i.e. place outside Mecca where the
pilgrims go after finishing all the ceremonies Hajj at Mina) he (the Prophet ordered 'Abdur Rahman ('Aisha's brother)

of those who assumed the Ihram for 'Umra. I got menses and kept on menstruating until the day of 'Arafat and
complained of that to the Prophet. He told me to postpone my 'Umra, undo and comb my hair, and to assure the
Ihram of Hajj and I did so. On the right of Hasba, he sent my brother 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr with me to
At-Tah'im, where I assumed the Ihram for 'Umra in lieu of the previous one. Hisham said, "For that ('Umra) no Hadi,

Narated By Anas bin Malik : The Prophet said, "At every womb Allah appoints an angel who says, 'O Lord! A drop of
semen, O Lord! A clot. O Lord! A little lump of flesh." Then if Allah wishes (to complete) its creation, the angel asks,

age be?' So all that is written while the child is still in the mother's womb."

companion and should participate in the good deeds and in the religious gathering of the Muslims.' When Um 'Atiya
came I asked her whether she had heard it from the Prophet. She replied, "Yes. May my father be sacrificed for him
(the Prophet)! (Whenever she mentioned the Prophet she used to say, 'May my father be sacrificed for him) I have

unmarried virgins who often stay screened and the menstruating women should come out and participate in the good
deeds as well as the religious gathering of the faithful believers but the menstruating women should keep away from
