Hadith 1153:1167

'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from 'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from 'Aishah, she said: A mukhannath (effeminate man) used to enter upon the wives of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and they used to count him among those who have no sexual desire. One day, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, entered while he was with some of his wives, and he was describing a woman. He said: "If she approaches, she approaches with four, and if she turns away, she turns away with eight." The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "I do not see that this one knows what is here. Let this one not enter upon you." So they veiled him.

حدثنا عبد الرزاق، حدثنا معمر، عن الزهري، عن عروة بن الزبير، عن عائشة، قالت: كان رجل يدخل على أزواج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مخنث، وكانوا يعدونه من غير أولي الإربة، فدخل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يوما وهو عند بعض نسائه وهو ينعت امرأة. فقال: إنها إذا أقبلت، أقبلت بأربع، وإذا أدبرت أدبرت بثمان، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: " لا أرى هذا يعلم ما هاهنا، لا يدخل عليكن هذا " فحجبوه
