Musnad Ahmad 2592

• Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib

  وهم ابن عباس في تزويج ميمونة وهو محرم وإن كانت خالته ما تزوجها صلى الله عليه وسلم إلا بعدما حل

  machine translationIbn ʿAbbās was mistaken about the marriage to Maymūnah while he was in iḥrām, even though she was his maternal aunt. He ﷺ married her only after he had left the state of iḥrām. Report a problem

  in مسند أحمد, p. 2617
• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  وما أعلم أحدا من الصحابة روى أنه نكحها وهو محرم إلا ابن عباس ورواية من ذكر معارضة لروايته والقلب إلى رواية الجماعة أميل لأن الواحد أقرب إلى الغلط

  machine translationI do not know of any Companion who narrated that he married her while in iḥrām except Ibn ʿAbbās. The reports of those mentioned conflict with his report, and the heart inclines more towards the report of the group, because a single narrator is closer to error. Report a problem

  in مسند أحمد, p. 2617
• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  وما أعلم أحدا من الصحابة روي عنه أنه عليه السلام نكح ميمونة وهو محرم إلا ابن عباس وحديثه بذلك صحيح ثابت من نكاح ميمونة

  machine translationI do not know of any Companion from whom it was narrated that he, peace be upon him, married Maymūnah while in iḥrām except Ibn ʿAbbās, and his hadith on that is sound and established concerning the marriage to Maymūnah. Report a problem
