1337 - Akhnath from Hiyat: This proverb is one of the proverbs of the people of Medina and was used during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). At that time, there were three effeminate individuals in Medina: Hiyat, Hiram, and Maat'. The saying became associated with them through Hiyat, and the effeminate individuals would enter upon women without being veiled. Thus, Hiyat could enter upon the wives of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) whenever he wished. One day, he entered the house of Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) was with her....

16983 - Abu al-Husayn ibn Bishran narrated to us in Baghdad, saying: Al-Husain ibn Safwan narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Abi Dwanya, from al-Hasan ibn Hammad al-Dabi, from Abda, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Yazid, from Musa ibn Abdullah ibn Uyash ibn Abi Rubi'a who said: There were three eunuchs during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny): Mat'q, Hadm, and Hayt. Mat'q was in a relationship with Fakhta, the daughter of Amr ibn Aidh, the maternal aunt of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny). He would visit the houses of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) and enter upon them until, when he was besieging Ta'if, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) heard him say to Khalid ibn al-Walid: "If you conquer Ta'if tomorrow, do not let the Bedouin girl, daughter of Ghaylan, escape from you, for she comes with four limbs and departs with eight." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: "I do not see this vile one being aware of this." He will not enter upon you again after this with his women." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) set out on his return until, when he was at Dhul-Hulayfah, he said: "Let him not enter the city." And the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) entered the city. He was spoken to on behalf of the eunuch, and it was said to him that he was a poor man and needed something. So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) allocated a day to him every Saturday to enter, ask, and then return to his home. He continued to do so throughout the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), Abu Bakr, and during the reign of Umar (may Allah be pleased with them). The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) expelled his two companions with him: Hadm and the other, Hayt.

9040 - .... Ibn Abi Shaybah and Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Durqi narrated in their Musnads from the route of Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from Abdul Karim, from Mujahid, from Amir ibn Saad ibn Malik, from his father, that he preached to a woman in Mecca and said: "Who will inform me about her?" A man, an eunuch, named Hayt, said: "I will describe her to you. She is like this: when she comes, she comes walking on two feet, and when she goes, she turns away walking on four." The Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, "I see nothing but denial, and I do not think he knows women." He would enter upon Sawdah, and he forbade her from entering upon him. When he came to Medina, he expelled him, and it was thus until the time of Umar's leadership. He struggled, and it was allowed for him to enter the city and receive charity on Fridays. Ibn Wahb mentioned in his Jamia that someone who heard Abu Ma'shar say: "He was commanded by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) to be exiled to a barren area near the city, عند ذي الحليفة. Some of the companions interceded for him and said, 'He will die of hunger,' so he was permitted to enter every Friday to ask for food, then return to his place." He remained there until he died. A mention of some of his story had already been made in the biography of Mani' beforehand. Abu Ubayd al-Bakri said in his Sharh Amali al-Qali: "There were three eunuchs in Medina who could enter among women without being concealed: Hayt, Hadam, and Mani'."

Al-Halabi - al-Sirah al-Halabiyyah - Supplement to the Chapter Mentioning His (ص) Expeditions - The Expedition to Ta'if
Volume: (3) - Page Number: (166/167)
[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]
- .... And there were three effeminate men during his time (ص): Heit, Mati', and Hadhm, and they were called that because there was mildness in their speech, and they used to dye their hair with henna like women's dye, not that they committed the greater obscenity. It is possible that both Mati' and Heit were with him (ص) in that expedition, and they heard from him what has been mentioned earlier about them. This possibility is supported by the fact that he expelled them, and in Sahih al-Bukhari, it is mentioned that the one who said to Abdullah, as previously noted, is Heit. It is also possible that the one who was with him (ص) was either of them, and his repeated mentions of the earlier events and naming them with the other’s name could be a mix-up by some narrators, so careful consideration is advised.
