Sahih al-Bukhari 5887 (Book 77, Hadith 104) #5648
Warning Against Effeminate Men

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ warned his wives to not let effeminate men enter their houses.

Narrated Um Salama: that once the Prophet was in her house, and an effeminate man was there too. The effeminate man said to 'Abdullah, (Um Salama's brother) "0 'Abdullah! If Ta'if should be conquered tomorrow, I recommend you the daughter of Ghailan, for she is so fat that she has four curves in the front (of her belly) and eight at the back". So the Prophet said (to his wives) "These effeminate (men) should not enter upon you (your houses).
حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ عِنْدَهَا وَفِي الْبَيْتِ مُخَنَّثٌ، فَقَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخِي أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِنْ فُتِحَ لَكُمْ غَدًا الطَّائِفُ، فَإِنِّي أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى بِنْتِ غَيْلاَنَ، فَإِنَّهَا تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَدْخُلَنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ عَلَيْكُنَّ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ تُقْبِلُ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ يَعْنِي أَرْبَعَ عُكَنِ بَطْنِهَا، فَهْىَ تُقْبِلُ بِهِنَّ، وَقَوْلُهُ وَتُدْبِرُ بِثَمَانٍ‏.‏ يَعْنِي أَطْرَافَ هَذِهِ الْعُكَنِ الأَرْبَعِ، لأَنَّهَا مُحِيطَةٌ بِالْجَنْبَيْنِ حَتَّى لَحِقَتْ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ بِثَمَانٍ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ بِثَمَانِيَةٍ‏.‏ وَوَاحِدُ الأَطْرَافِ وَهْوَ ذَكَرٌ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَطْرَافٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Um Salama tells us that the Prophet Muhammad warned his wives to not let effeminate men enter their houses. This is because the Prophet Muhammad wanted to protect his wives from any potential harm or inappropriate behavior that could be caused by these men. He also wanted to ensure that they were safe and secure in their homes. This hadith teaches us the importance of protecting our families and loved ones, as well as being mindful of who we allow into our homes. It also serves as a reminder for us to be cautious when it comes to strangers, especially those who may have questionable intentions or behaviors.

The Prophet Muhammad's warning against effeminate men is an important lesson for all Muslims, regardless of age or gender. It teaches us the importance of being aware of our surroundings and taking precautions when necessary in order to protect ourselves and those around us from potential harm or danger. We should always strive to create a safe environment for ourselves and our families, both inside and outside of our homes, so that we can live peacefully without fear or worry about what might happen if we are not careful enough with whom we associate with or allow into our lives.
