Sahih Muslim 1480n (Book 18, Hadith 58) #10846
Following Allah's Teachings Over Any Other Opinion

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of following the teachings of Allah and His Messenger (PBUH) over any other opinion, even if it comes from a woman.

Abu Ishaq reported: I was with al-Aswad b. Yazid sitting in the great mosque, and there was with us al-Sha'bi, and he narrated the narration of Fatima bint Qais (Allah be pleased with her) that Allah's Messenger ﷺ did not make any provision for lodging and maintenance allowance for her. Al-Aswad caught hold of some pebbles in his fist and he threw them towards him saying: Woe be to thee, you narrate like it, whereas Umar said: We cannot abandon the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of our Apostle ﷺ for the words of a woman. We do not know whether she remembers that or she forgets. For her, there is a provision of lodging and maintenance allowance. Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, said:" Turn them not from their houses nor should they themselves go forth unless they commit an open indecency" (LXV. 1).
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَبَلَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارُ بْنُ رُزَيْقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الأَعْظَمِ وَمَعَنَا الشَّعْبِيُّ فَحَدَّثَ الشَّعْبِيُّ بِحَدِيثِ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهَا سُكْنَى وَلاَ نَفَقَةً ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الأَسْوَدُ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصًى فَحَصَبَهُ بِهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ تُحَدِّثُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا قَالَ عُمَرُ لاَ نَتْرُكُ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّنَا ﷺ لِقَوْلِ امْرَأَةٍ لاَ نَدْرِي لَعَلَّهَا حَفِظَتْ أَوْ نَسِيَتْ لَهَا السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏ لاَ تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلاَ يَخْرُجْنَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ‏}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of following the teachings of Allah and His Messenger (PBUH). It was narrated by Abu Ishaq who was with al-Aswad b. Yazid in the great mosque when al-Sha'bi narrated a narration from Fatima bint Qais that Allah's Messenger did not make any provision for her lodging and maintenance allowance. Al-Aswad then threw some pebbles towards him saying that they cannot abandon the Book of Allah and Sunnah for her words as they do not know whether she remembers or forgets. He then reminded them that there is a provision for her in Quran where it says "Turn them not from their houses nor should they themselves go forth unless they commit an open indecency" which means women should be provided with their rights according to Islamic law. This hadith teaches us to always follow what has been taught by Allah and His messenger over any other opinion or suggestion no matter who it comes from as this is our only way to success in this life and hereafter.
