Allah's Messenger recited:-- 'When, the most wicked man among them went forth (to hamstrung the she-camel).' (91.12.) Then he said, A tough man whose equal was rare and who enjoyed the protection of his people, like Abi Zama went forth to (hamstrung) it. The Prophet then mentioned about the women (in his sermon).

Then he advised them not to laugh when somebody breaks wind and said, Why should anybody laugh at what he himself does?
