عن قيس بن أبي حازم، قال: دخل أبو بكر الصديق رضي الله عنه على امرأة من أَحْمَسَ يقال لها: زينب، فرآها لا تتكلم. فقال: ما لها لا تتكلم؟ فقالوا: حَجَّتْ مصمِتةً ، فقال لها: تكلمي، فإن هذا لا يحل، هذا من عمل الجاهلية، فتكلمت.

“Qays ibn Abi Hāzim reported: Abu Bakr As-Siddīq (may Allah be pleased with him) entered upon a woman from Ahmas tribe, called Zaynab, and he noticed that she was not speaking, he asked: "Why is she not speaking?" They said: "She has intended to perform Hajj without speaking." He said to her: "Speak, for this is unlawful; it is a practice of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance." Thereupon, she spoke.”
