إِنَّ ثَلَاثَ نِسْوَةٍ أَتَيْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ إِنَّ زَوْجِي لَا يَأْكُلُ اللَّحْمَ وَ قَالَتِ الْأُخْرَى إِنَّ زَوْجِي لَا يَشَمُّ الطِّيبَ وَ قَالَتِ الْأُخْرَى إِنَّ زَوْجِي لَا يَقْرَبُ النِّسَاءَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي لَا يَأْكُلُونَ اللَّحْمَ وَ لَا يَشَمُّونَ الطِّيبَ وَ لَا يَأْتُونَ النِّسَاءَ أَمَا إِنِّي آكُلُ اللَّحْمَ وَ أَشَمُّ الطِّيبَ وَ آتِي النِّسَاءَ فَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Abu Dawood Al Mustaraq, from one of his men, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Three women came over to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, so one of them said, ‘My husband does not eat the meat’, and the other one said, ‘My husband does not smell the perfume’, and the other one said, ‘My husband does not go near the women’. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> went out dragging his<sup>saww</sup> robe until he<sup>saww</sup> ascended the Pukpit. So he<sup>saww</sup> Praised Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and Extolled Him<sup>azwj</sup>, then said: ‘What is the matter with a group of people from my<sup>saww</sup> companions who are neither eating the meat, nor are the smelling the perfume, nor are they going to the women? But, I<sup>saww</sup> eat the meat, and I<sup>saww</sup> smell the perfume, and I<sup>asws</sup> go to the women. So the one who turns away from my<sup>saww</sup> Sunnah, so he is not from me<sup>saww</sup>’.
