      وكتب الحجّاج بن يوسف إلى الحكم بن أيّوب قال: اخطب على عبد الملك امرأةً جميلةً من بعيدٍ، مليحةً من قريبٍ، شريفةً في قومها، ذليلةً في نفسها، أمةً لبعلها. . فكتب إليه: أصبتها، وهي خولة بنت مسمع، لولا عظم ثديها! فكتب إليه الحجّاج: لا يحسن بدن المرأة حتّى يعظم ثدياها فتدفي الضّجيع، وتروي الرّضيع.

The man wrote back, "I have hit upon one: that would be Ḵawlah bint Mismaʿ, aside from the size of her bosom."
