"Abu Saeed Khudri (radhiallahu anhu) said that a woman approached Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and said: The men have monopolised your talks. Therefore, appoint for us (women) a special day from your side so thai we may come to you on that day and you can teach us of that knowledge which Allah has taught you.' Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said; 'Gather on a certain day.' Thus the women gathered and Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) came to them and taught them from that (knowledge) which Allah had taught him " (Sahih Muslim) [1]
This Hadith appears also in Bukhaari Shareef and other Books of Hadith. In Fathul Baari, this incident is also recorded in a Hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah (radhiallahu anhu). In this narration. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (radhiallahu anhu) reported that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)said:
"Your (i .e. the women) appointed place (where you shall gather) is the home of certain lady .................." [1]
The following facts emerge from this Hadith:
(1) It was not the usual practice for women to attend the Musjid for Ta'leem hence they requested a day to be set aside for them
(2) Women seldom had the opportunity of hearing the talks of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
(3) When Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) accepted their request to lecture to them, he said that he himself would come. While the woman said that they would come to him, he instructed them to gather at a certain place.
(4) Rasulullah {sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not instruct the women to gather in the Musjid for ta'leem. On the contrary, he ordered them to gather at the home of a certain lady.[1]
It is noteworthy that inspite of the initial permission for women to attend the Musjid for Salaat, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) did not invite them to the Musjid for Ta'leem when they made their special request. If it was their undeniable right to attend the Musjid, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) would have instructed them to gather in the Musjid.[1]
The Ahadith also make it abundantly clear that in the initial period when women would attend the Musjid, they would leave immediately after the Fardh Salaat while the men remained seated, Since the females departed from the Musjid immediately upon having made the Salaam of the Salaat, the question of them silting in the Musjid for Ta'leem does notarise. Hadhrat Umme Salmah (radhiallahu anha), the wife of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said:
"During the lifetime of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) the women would get up after making the Salaam of the Fardh Salaat while Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the men who performed Salaat with him remained seated for some time. After Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) stood up, the men would stand." (Bukhaari Shareef)[1]
The Sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) thoroughly rejects the call for women's participation in Ta'leem in the Musjid.[1]

aSSALAMUALAIKUM tUAN,
Di universiti,amat payah nak jumpa majlis yang bertertib seperti yang dianjurkan nabi s.a.w.
Kdg-kala rasa terkilan kerana,teringin benar nak ilmu dari majlis tu,apakn daya...risau jika tertib xdiikuti,mana barakah ilmunya.
terima kasih,perkongsian yang berguna dan amat dicari(",)
waalaikumsalam...sepatutnya semakin jauh kita dari zaman nabi semakin ditekankan...zaman sahabat iaitu orang2 bertaqwa pun di ambil berat...apatah lagi zaman sekarang orang kurang taqwa ini...semoga bermanfaat untuk umat mengikuti sunnah nabi....
