حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا تَمْنَعُوا نِسَاءَكُمْ الْمَسَاجِدَ إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ بِلَالُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَنَمْنَعُهُنَّ قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَسَبَّهُ سَبًّا سَيِّئًا مَا سَمِعْتُهُ سَبَّهُ مِثْلَهُ قَطُّ وَقَالَ أُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ لَنَمْنَعُهُنَّ.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: 'Do not prevent your women from going to the Masjid if they ask you for permission.'" Bilal bin 'Abdullah said: "By Allah, we will certainly prevent them." 'Abdullah turned to him and rebuked him harshly, in a manner that I · had never heard, and said: "I narrate to you from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and you say: 'By Allah, we will certainly prevent them!'"
