Why did the Prophet Muhammad (saw) think that women should not go to the mosque if he had known what the women of Bani Israel had been forbidden?
 Narrated `Aisha:                     Had Allah's Apostle known what the women were doing, he would have forbidden them from going to the mosque as the women of Bani Israel had been forbidden. Yahya bin Sa`id (a sub-narrator) asked `Amra (another sub-narrator), "Were the women of Bani Israel forbidden?" She replied "Yes."
