QUESTION:
Is the following Hadith authentic:
“A woman should not describe another woman to her husband as though he is looking at her.”
ANSWER:
In the commentary of Bukhari Sharif, Ibn Battal quotes the following narration of Rasulullah Salallahu Alahi Wasallam:
لا تصف المرأة المرأة لزوجها حتى كأنه ينظر إليها ، فأقام الصفة مقام الرؤية. )شرح صحيح البخاري لابن بطال ص276 ج6)
A woman should not describe another woman to her husband as though he is looking at her. He (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) substituted describing a woman with looking at her.
ALLAH TA’ALA ALONE IN HIS INFINITE KNOWLEDGE KNOWS BEST!
