5- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الْمُسْتَرِقِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ إِنَّ ثَلاثَ نِسْوَةٍ أَتَيْنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ إِنَّ زَوْجِي لا يَأْكُلُ اللَّحْمَ وَقَالَتِ الأخْرَى إِنَّ زَوْجِي لا يَشَمُّ الطِّيبَ وَقَالَتِ الأخْرَى إِنَّ زَوْجِي لا يَقْرَبُ النِّسَاءَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي لا يَأْكُلُونَ اللَّحْمَ وَلا يَشَمُّونَ الطِّيبَ وَلا يَأْتُونَ النِّسَاءَ أَمَا إِنِّي آكُلُ اللَّحْمَ وَأَشَمُّ الطِّيبَ وَآتِي النِّسَاءَ فَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي.

5. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad from abu Dawud al-Mustariq from certain persons of his people who have said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘Three women came to the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and one of them said, “My husband does not eat meat.” The other one said, “My husband does not smell perfume.” The other one said, “My husband does not go near the woman.” The Messenger of Allah came out while his gown dragged behind him until he climbed on the pulpit, praised Allah and glorified Him; then said, “What has happened to certain people of my companions who do not eat meat, smell perfume and do not go near women. I however, eat meat, smell perfumes and go to women, thus, those who disregard my Sunnah are not of my people.’””
