حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ وَعَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الأَشْجَعِيُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّةِ
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ تَخْتِنُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ تُنْهِكِي فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَحْظَى لِلْمَرْأَةِ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى الْبَعْلِ

A woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. The Prophet ﷺ said to her: Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband. Abu Dawud said: It has been transmitted by 'Ubaid Allah b. 'Amr from 'Abd al-Malik to the same effect through a different chain. Abu Dawud said: It is not a strong tradition. It has been transmitted in mursal form (missing the link of the Companions) Abu Dawud said: Muhammad b. Hasan is obscure, and this tradition is weak.

machine translationAbū Dāwūd said: It has been narrated from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAmr, from ʿAbd al-Malik, with the same meaning and chain of narration. Abū Dāwūd said: He is not strong, and it has also been narrated as a mursal report. Abū Dāwūd said: Muḥammad b. Ḥassān is unknown (majhūl), and this ḥadīth is weak (ḍaʿīf).
