Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) delivered a sermon to the people, giving them admonition and advice, then said: "O assembly of women, indeed you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell." So an eloquent and articulate woman asked, "What is the reason for that?" He (peace be upon him) said: "Because you frequently curse and are ungrateful to your husbands." (Then he said:) "Despite being deficient in intellect and religion, I have not seen anyone more overpowering to a man of reason and wisdom than you." A woman asked, "What is our deficiency in intellect and religion?" He (peace be upon him) said: "The testimony of two women among you is equal to the testimony of one man (this is a proof of deficiency in intellect), and the deficiency in your religion is due to menstruation, for one of you does not pray for three or four days (because of menstruation)."

Sayyida Mu'adhah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a woman asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Does a menstruating woman have to make up the missed prayers?" She replied, "Are you a Haruriyyah (Kharijite)?" (During the time of the Prophet) she would experience menstruation and was not ordered to make up the missed prayers. Mu'adhah says that Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) also mentioned that she had asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter.

Hazrat Abdul Malik bin Rabee narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Teach the child to pray at the age of seven, and at the age of ten (if he does not pray) discipline him (by beating)."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by a mad woman from a certain tribe who had committed adultery, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had ordered her to be stoned. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent her back and said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Commander of the Believers, will you stone her?" He replied, "Yes." So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Do you not remember the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: 'The pen has been lifted from three (i.e., they are not held accountable by the Shari'ah): 1. The insane person whose mind is overcome. 2. The sleeping person until he wakes up. 3. The child until he reaches puberty.'" So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You have spoken the truth." Then he set the woman free.
