Malik related to me that he heard that Umar ibn al-Khattab saw afemale slave belonging to Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab. She wasdressed like free (non-slave) women. He went to his daughter Hafsa and said, "Didn't Isee your brother's slave-girl dressed like a free (non-slave) woman walking among thepeople and causing trouble?" Umar disapproved of that.
