It is narrated from Abu al-Tayyah; he said: I heard Mutarrif narrating that he had two wives. He came to one of them and she began to take off his turban and said: "Have you come from your (other) wife?" He said: "I have come from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him); he was narrating from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Women will be the fewest in number among the inhabitants of Paradise.'" This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it with this wording!

It is narrated from Umarah bin Khuzaymah bin Thabit; he said: We were with Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) on a journey for Hajj or Umrah. When we reached Marr al-Zahran, we saw a woman in her howdah (camel litter) with her hand resting on the howdah. Then, when we descended into a mountain pass, we saw many crows there, among which was a piebald crow with a red beak and red legs. So Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of the women will enter Paradise except the one whose likeness is like this piebald crow among these (black) crows." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Umarah bin Khuzaymah bin Thabit; he said: We were with Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) during Hajj or Umrah, when suddenly a woman appeared who had rings on her hand and had placed her hand on her howdah. Then Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) entered a mountain pass and said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in this pass, and there were many crows there, and among them was a piebald crow with a red beak and red legs. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Of the women, only as many will enter Paradise as the proportion of this piebald crow among these crows." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him); he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O assembly of women! Give charity, even if it is from your jewellery, for you will be the majority of the people of Hell." An ordinary woman said: O Messenger of Allah! Why will we be the majority in Hell? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Because you curse a great deal and are ungrateful to your husbands. And despite being deficient in intellect and religion, I have not seen anyone more capable of overpowering the mind of a sensible man than you." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. Jarir bin Abd al-Hamid has narrated it from Mansur with some additional words:
