The Mesenger of Allaah said: “And the worst of your women are the ones who commit Tabarruj, who strut around in arrogance. And they are the hypocrites. None from among them [i.e. these women] will enter Paradise except [those who are] like the rare crow.”
Reported by Al-Bayhaqee [7/82] and authenticated by Al-Albaanee in his as-Saheehah [vol. 4, no. 1849]
Commenting on this hadeeth, Imaam Al-Albaanee [rahimuhallaah] said: “What is meant by the rare crow is that which has red beak and red legs, as occurs in a hadeeth that states the small amount of women that will enter Paradise.[1]
This sine there are very few crows that match this type of descripion.”[2]
[1] The hadeeth Imaam Al-Albaanee is reffering to is the one reported by ‘Amr ibn Al-‘Aas who said: “One day we were with the Messenger of Allaah on this mountain path when he said: ‘Look! Do you see anything?’ We said: ‘We see a crow that is very strange. It’s beak and it’s legs are red.’ So Allaah’s Messenger said: ‘No one among women will enter Paradise except for those who have the similitude of this crow in strangeness.’”
