Riyad as-Salihin, 876
Umm Hani (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) who was taking a bath while Fatimah was screening him. He asked, "Who is there?" I replied: "I am Umm Hani." <b>[Al- Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن أم هانيء رضي الله عنها قالت: أتيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو يغتسل وفاطمة تستره فقال
من هذه؟
فقلت: أنا أم هانيء. ((متفق عليه)).
