It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while a eunuch was sitting with me, but my brother Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was also present. That eunuch said to Abdullah: O Abdullah bin Zam‘ah! If tomorrow Allah Almighty grants you victory over Ta’if, then you must surely capture the daughter of Ghilan, because she comes with four and leaves with eight. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard these words from him, he said to Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her): From now on, never let this eunuch enter upon you.

Narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a eunuch used to come to the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). People thought that he was free from carnal desires. One day, when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, that eunuch was present with one of his wives. He began to describe the beauty of a woman, saying that when she comes, she comes with four folds, and when she goes, she goes with eight folds. Upon hearing this, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I did not know that he knows so much. He should not be allowed to come to you in the future. So the people forbade him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed those men who adopt effeminacy and those women who adopt masculinity, and said: "Expel the effeminate from your homes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) expelled so-and-so, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) expelled so-and-so from the home.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed those effeminate men who imitate women, and also cursed those women who adopt the ways of men and imitate them, and also cursed the one who travels alone in the wilderness.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed men who deliberately adopt effeminacy, and cursed women who adopt the ways of men.
