Question

I came across a narration in Ihya ‘Ulumid Din that ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) said:

“If the Prophet only knew of the misdeeds that women would bring about after his time, he would have forbidden them from going out.”

Is it authentic?

 

Answer

‘Allamah Ghazali (rahimahullah) has cited the following narration:

‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) said: “If Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) knew what women are now doing, he would have prevented them from going out.”

(Ihya ‘Ulumid Din, vol. 3, pg. 189)

I have not come across these exact words in any primary source.

‘Allamah ‘Iraqi (rahimahullah) has referenced the narration cited in Ihya ‘Ulumid Din to Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, and has pointed out the slight difference in wording.

(Al Mughni ‘An Hamlil Asfar, Hadith: 1504. Also see: Ithafus Sadah Al Muttaqin, vol. 5, pg. 363)

The wording in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim is as follows:

Sayyidah ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) said: “If Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) were to see what women are now doing, he would have prevented them [from attending] the Masjid/Masjids just as the women of the Banu Israil were prevented.”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 869, Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 445)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

وكان قد أذن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم للنساء في حضور المسجد، والصواب الآن المنع إلا العجائز بل استصوب ذلك في زمان الصحابة حتى قالت عائشة رضي الله عنها لو علم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ما أحدثت النساء بعده لمنعهن من الخروج».

صحيح مسلم:
(٤٤٥)  حدثنا عبد الله بن مسلمة بن قعنب، حدثنا سليمان يعني ابن بلال، عن يحيى وهو ابن سعيد، عن عمرة بنت عبد الرحمن، أنها سمعت عائشة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم تقول: «لو أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رأى ما أحدث النساء لمنعهن المسجد كما منعت نساء بني إسرائيل» قال: فقلت لعمرة: أنساء بني إسرائيل منعن المسجد؟ قالت: «نعم».
