- "O assembly of women! Give charity, for I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you, and I have seen that you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell on the Day of Resurrection. So draw near to Allāh as much as you can." Among the women was the wife of Ibn Masʿūd... and he continued the ḥadīth. She asked, "What is the deficiency in our religion and intelligence, O Messenger of Allāh?"
