Musnad Ahmad 24552

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would shield me with his cloak while I watched the Abyssinians play, until I would become weary; so estimate the capacity of a young girl, eager for amusement.

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.

• 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. Report a problem
