Is there a hadith, a report, or a transmitted saying from the Companions with the meaning "علِّموا النساء الغزل ولا تعلموهن الكتابة"?

The narration reported from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not let them reside in upper chambers, do not teach them writing, but teach them spinning and Surat An-Nur." And in another narration: "And seek help against them with nudity, and frequently say 'no' to them, for 'yes' tempts them to ask questions"; this is a fabricated and is not authentic. In its chain of narration is Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ash-Shami, who is known for fabricating hadith.
