Umm Atiyyah said: When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came to Madina, he gathered the women of Ansar in a house, and sent to us (to them) Umar bin al-Khattab. He stood at the door and gave the salutation to us and we returned it (the salutation) to him. Thereupon, he said: I am the messenger of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to you. He commanded us to bring out the menstruating women and the virgins for both the Eid prayers, and that the Friday prayer is not obligatory on us. He prohibited us to accompany the funeral procession.
