Sunan Abi Dawud 4119

Translation

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave licence to the Mothers of the believers (i.e. the wives of the Prophet) to hang down their lower garment a span. Then they asked him to increase it, and he increased one span for them. They would send (the garment) to us and we would measure it one forearm's length for them.

  عامة ما يرويه زيد العمي ومن يروي عنه ضعفاء هو وهم

  machine translationMost of what Zayd al-ʿAmmī narrates, and those from whom he narrates, are weak (ḍaʿīf) narrators, both he and they. Report a problem

• Dāraquṭnī

  رواه مسعود بن سعد الجعفي عن مطرف عن زيد العمي عن أبي الصديق الناجي عن ابن عمر عن عمر وتابعه سابق الرقي عن مطرف وخالفهما شريك القاضي فرواه عن مطرف وأسنده عن ابن عمر ولم يذكر عمر وتابعه سفيان الثوري فرواه عن زيد العمي عن أبي الصديق الناجي عن ابن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ولم يذكر فيه عمر وكذلك روي عن إسماعيل بن أبي خالد عن قيس بن أبي حازم عن ابن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ومطرف من الأثبات وقد اتفق عنه رجلان ثقتان فأسنداه عن عمر ولولا أن الثوري خالفه فرواه عن زيد العمي فلم يذكر فيه عمر لكان القول قول من أسند عن عمر لأنه زاد وزيادة الثقة مقبولة

  machine translationMasʿūd b. Saʿd al-Juʿfī narrated it from Muṭarrif, from Zayd al-ʿAmmī, from Abū al-Ṣiddīq al-Nājī, from Ibn ʿUmar, from ʿUmar. Sābiq al-Raqqī followed him in narrating it from Muṭarrif. Sharīk al-Qāḍī differed from the two of them: he narrated it from Muṭarrif and traced it back to Ibn ʿUmar, and did not mention ʿUmar. Sufyān al-Thawrī followed him, narrating it from Zayd al-ʿAmmī, from Abū al-Ṣiddīq al-Nājī, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ, without mentioning ʿUmar in it. It was likewise narrated from Ismāʿīl b. Abī Khālid, from Qays b. Abī Ḥāzim, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ. Muṭarrif is among the most reliable (athbāt), and two trustworthy (thiqah) men agreed in narrating from him, tracing it back to ʿUmar. Were it not that al-Thawrī differed from him, narrating it from Zayd al-ʿAmmī without mentioning ʿUmar in it, the statement would be that of those who traced it back to ʿUmar, because he added, and the addition of a trustworthy narrator is accepted.
