كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِعُمَرَ تَشْهَدُ صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ وَالْعِشَاءِ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقِيلَ لَهَا لِمَ تَخْرُجِينَ وَقَدْ تَعْلَمِينَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ يَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ وَيَغَارُ قَالَتْ وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُ أَنْ يَنْهَانِي قَالَ يَمْنَعُهُ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ تَمْنَعُوا إِمَاءَ اللَّهِ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ .
One of the wives of `Umar (bin Al-Khattab) used to offer the Fajr and the `Isha' prayer incongregation in the Mosque. She was asked why she had come out for the prayer as she knew that`Umar disliked it, and he has great ghaira (self-respect). She replied, "What prevents him fromstopping me from this act?" The other replied, "The statement of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) : 'Do notstop Allah's women-slaves from going to Allah's Mosques' prevents him."
