حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ هِنْدَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم

( إِذَا سَلَّمَ ) : أَيْ مِنْ الصَّلَاة ( كَيْمَا يَنْفُذ ) : بِضَمِّ الْفَاء وَبِذَالٍ مُعْجَمَة أَيْ يَمْضِينَ وَيَتَخَلَّصْنَ مِنْ مُزَاحَمَة الرِّجَال. وَالْحَدِيث فِيهِ أَنَّهُ يُسْتَحَبّ لِلْإِمَامِ مُرَاعَاة أَحْوَال الْمَأْمُومِينَ وَالِاحْتِيَاط فِي الِاجْتِنَاب مَا قَدْ يُفْضِي إِلَى الْمَحْذُور , وَاجْتِنَاب مَوَاقِع التُّهَم , وَكَرَاهَة مُخَالَطَة الرِّجَال لِلنِّسَاءِ فِي الطُّرُقَات فَضْلًا عَنْ الْبُيُوت. وَمُقْتَضَى التَّعْلِيل الْمَذْكُور أَنَّ الْمَأْمُومِينَ إِذَا كَانُوا رِجَالًا فَقَطْ لَا يُسْتَحَبّ هَذَا الْمُكْث , وَعَلَيْهِ حَمَلَ اِبْن قَدَامَة حَدِيث عَائِشَة " أَنَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَآله وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ لَا يَقْعُد إِلَّا قَدْر مَا يَقُول ا…

Authentic Sahih al-Bukhari 837

Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) finished his prayers with Taslim, the women would get up and he would stay on for a while in his place before getting up. Ibn Shihab said, "I think (and Allah knows better), that the purpose of his stay was that the women might leave before the men who had finished…

إِذَا سَلَّمَ قَامَ النِّسَاءُ حِينَ يَقْضِي تَسْلِيمَهُ، وَمَكَثَ يَسِيرًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ‏.‏

Authentic Sahih al-Bukhari 1215

The people used to offer the prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) with their waist-sheets tied round their necks because of the shortness of the sheets and the women were ordered not to lift their heads till the men had sat straight.

كَانَ النَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُمْ عَاقِدُو أُزْرِهِمْ مِنَ الصِّغَرِ عَلَى رِقَابِهِمْ، فَقِيلَ لِلنِّسَاءِ ‏"‏ لاَ تَرْفَعْنَ رُءُوسَكُنَّ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ الرِّجَالُ جُلُوسًا ‏"

Authentic Sahih al-Bukhari 866

(the wife of the Prophet) In the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the women used to get up when they finished their compulsory prayers with Taslim. The Prophet (ﷺ) and the men would stay on at their places as long as Allah will. When the Prophet (ﷺ) got up, the men would then get up.

كُنَّ إِذَا سَلَّمْنَ مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ قُمْنَ، وَثَبَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَنْ صَلَّى مِنَ الرِّجَالِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، فَإِذَا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَامَ الرِّجَالُ‏.‏

Authentic Sunan Abu Dawud 630

I saw the people tying their wrappers over their necks like children due to the narrowness of the wrappers behind the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) during prayer. Someone said: Body of women, do not raise your heads until the men raise (their heads).

الرِّجَالَ عَاقِدِي أُزُرِهِمْ فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمْ مِنْ ضِيقِ الأُزُرِ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الصَّلاَةِ كَأَمْثَالِ الصِّبْيَانِ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ لاَ تَرْفَعْنَ رُءُوسَكُنَّ…

Differing grades Sunan Abu Dawud 851

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: One of you who believes in Allah and in the Last Day should not raise her head until the men raise their heads (after prostration) lest they should see the private parts of men.

مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُنَّ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلاَ تَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهَا حَتَّى يَرْفَعَ الرِّجَالُ رُءُوسَهُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ كَرَاهَةَ أَنْ يَرَيْنَ مِنْ عَوْرَاتِ الرِّجَالِ ‏.‏
