حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي نَبْهَانُ مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ مَيْمُونَةُ فَأَقْبَلَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أُمِرْنَا بِالْحِجَابِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ احْتَجِبَا مِنْهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَيْسَ أَعْمَى لاَ يُبْصِرُنَا وَلاَ يَعْرِفُنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَفَعَمْيَاوَانِ أَنْتُمَا أَلَسْتُمَا تُبْصِرَانِهِ

I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while Maymunah was with him. Then Ibn Umm Maktum came. This happened when we were ordered to observe veil (purdah). The Prophet ﷺ said: Observe veil from him. We asked: Messenger of Allah! is he not blind? He can neither see us nor recognise us. The Prophet ﷺ said: Are both of you blind? Do you not see him? AbuDawud said: This was peculiar to the wives of the Prophet ﷺ. Do you not see that Fatimah daughter of Qays passed her waiting period with Ibn Umm Maktum. The Prophet ﷺ said to Fatimah daughter of Qays: Pass your waiting period with Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man. You can put off your clothes with him.

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ هَذَا لأَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ خَاصَّةً أَلاَ تَرَى إِلَى اعْتِدَادِ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ عِنْدَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ قَدْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِفَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ اعْتَدِّي عِنْدَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ عِنْدَهُ

هو حديث معروف برواية يونس عن الزهري وتابعه عقيل عن الزهري من رواية نافع بن يزيد عن عقيل وحدث به الواقدي عن معمر عن الزهري فأنكره عليه أحمد بن حنبل ويحيى بن معين وقالا لم يرو هذا غير يونس عن الزهري ثم وجد بمصر من رواية نافع بن يزيد عن عقيل فأما حديث يونس عن الزهري فرواه عنه ابن وهب عن ابن المبارك ومندل بن علي رووه عن الزهري عن أم سلمة ورواه الأوزاعي عن يونس عن يونس ويشبه أن يكون الأوزاعي لم يحفظ إسناده عن يونس فأرسله عنه وحدث بهذا الحديث خازم بن يحيى الحلواني عن ابن أبي السري عن عبد الرزاق عن معمر عن ابن المبارك عن يونس ووهم فيه وإنما رواه عبد الرزاق عن ابن المبارك ليس فيه معمر
machine translationIt is a hadith known through the narration of Yūnus from al-Zuhrī, and ʿUqayl followed him from al-Zuhrī, through the narration of Nāfiʿ b. Yazīd from ʿUqayl. Al-Wāqidī narrated it from Maʿmar from al-Zuhrī, and Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal and Yaḥyā b. Maʿīn rejected it from him, and both said: No one narrated this except Yūnus from al-Zuhrī. Then it was found in Egypt through the narration of Nāfiʿ b. Yazīd from ʿUqayl. As for the hadith of Yūnus from al-Zuhrī, Ibn Wahb narrated it from him, from Ibn al-Mubārak, and Mindal b. ʿAlī; they narrated it from al-Zuhrī from Umm Salamah. Al-Awzāʿī narrated it from Yūnus from Yūnus, and it seems that al-Awzāʿī did not memorize its chain from Yūnus and so transmitted it as a mursal. Khāzim b. Yaḥyā al-Ḥulwānī narrated this hadith from Ibn Abī al-Sarī from ʿAbd al-Razzāq from Maʿmar from Ibn al-Mubārak from Yūnus, and he erred in it; rather ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated it from Ibn al-Mubārak, without Maʿmar in it.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 4107 - Qurṭubī
هذا الحديث لا يصح عند أهل النقل لأن راويه عن أم سلمة نبهان مولاها وهو ممن لا يحتج بحديثه
machine translationThis hadith is not authentic according to the scholars of transmission, because its narrator from Umm Salamah is Nabhān, her freedman, and he is one whose hadith is not used as evidence.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 4107 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
نبهان مجهول لم يرو عنه غير ابن شهاب وروى عنه ابن شهاب حديثين لا أصل لهما أحدهما هذا والآخر حديث المكاتب أنه إذا كان معه ما يؤذي وجب الاحتجاب منه قال وهما حديثان لا أصل لهما ودفعهما وقال حديث فاطمة بنت قيس حديث صحيح الإسناد والحجة به لازمة قال وحديث نبهان لا تقوم به حجة
machine translationNabhān is unknown (majhūl); no one narrated from him except Ibn Shihāb. Ibn Shihāb narrated two hadiths from him that have no basis: one of them is this, and the other is the hadith of the mukātab, that if he has with him what is harmful, it becomes obligatory to veil from him. He said: They are two hadiths that have no basis, and he rejected them. He said: The hadith of Fāṭimah bint Qays is a hadith with a sound chain, and the argument from it is binding. He said: And the hadith of Nabhān does not establish an argument.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 4107 - ابن اللجام علي بن خلف القرطبي
حديث عائشة أصح من حديث نبهان لأن نبهان ليس بمعروف بنقل العلم ولا يروي إلا حديثين هذا والمكاتب إذا كان معه ما يؤدي احتجبت عنه سيدته فلا يعمل بحديث نبهان لمعارضته الأحاديث الثابتة
machine translationThe hadith of ʿĀʾishah is more authentic than the hadith of Nabhān, because Nabhān is not known for transmitting knowledge and narrates only two hadiths: this one, and the one about the mukātab, that if he has with him what he needs to pay, his mistress must veil herself from him. So the hadith of Nabhān is not to be acted upon, because it conflicts with the established hadiths.

إسناده قوي وأكثر ما علل به انفراد الزهري بالرواية عن نبهان وليست بعلة قادحة
machine translationIts chain is strong. The most that has been given as a flaw in it is that al-Zuhrī was alone in narrating from Nabhān, and that is not a damaging flaw.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 4107 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
نبهان مولى أم سلمة ليس ممن يحتج بحديثه وزعم أنه لم يرو إلا حديثين منكرين
machine translationNabhān, the freedman of Umm Salamah, is not one whose hadith is used as evidence, and he claimed that he narrated only two objectionable (munkar) hadiths.
