Summary
Malik transmits from Hisham ibn Urwa, from his father, that a mukhannath (effeminate man) was with Umm Salama, wife of the Prophet ﷺ, and said to Abdullah ibn Abi Umayya (may God be pleased with him), while the Messenger was listening: O Abdullah, if God opens Taif to you tomorrow, I will show you the daughter of Ghaylan, for she comes forward with four and goes back with eight. The Messenger said: let these not enter upon you. The editor notes that most of Malik's narrators transmitted it as mursal, and that the correct version from Malik is from Urwa from Zaynab bint Umm Salama from her mother. 1
