Reading Time: < 1 minute
Hazrat Ali (Radhiyallahu anhu) reports that he was in the presence of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) when Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) asked: “Tell me, what is the best thing for a woman?”
The Sahaabah kept quiet. No one answered.
Hazrat Ali (Radhiyallahu anhu) says that he went home and asked Hazrat Faatimah (Radhiyallahu anha): “What is the best thing for women?”
Hazrat Faatimah (Radhiyallahu anha) replied: “They should not look at men and men should not look at them.”
“This answer,” says Hazrat Ali, “I related to Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) who commented: “Faatimah is part of me (and hence she understood well).’” – Reported by Bazzaar and Daaraqutni in Al-Afraad.
