Musnad Ahmad 26537

Translation

✧ I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Maymunah, when Ibn Umm Maktum approached until he entered upon him, and that was after we had been commanded to observe hijab. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Veil yourselves from him.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is he not blind, unable to see us or recognize us?' He said, 'Are you two blind? Do you not see him?'

• Dāraquṭnī

  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.

  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. Report a problem

• 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

• 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. Report a problem
