حديث المقبري عن أم سلمة بينهما ابن رافع
machine translationThe hadith of al-Maqburī from Umm Salamah, between whom there is Ibn Rāfiʿ.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 252 - Maghlaṭay
وتتبع ذلك عليه أبو الحسن القطان بأنه مع ذلك من رواية أسامة بن زيد الليثي وهو مختلف فيه فلو أسند لقيل في حديثه حسن لا صحيح
machine translationAbū al-Ḥasan al-Qaṭṭān pursued him on this, noting that in addition it is from the narration of Usāmah b. Zayd al-Laythī, who is disputed; so even if it were connected, it would be said of his hadith that it is good (ḥasan), not sound (ṣaḥīḥ).
