أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ وَسَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ وَمُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ وَمُجَاهِدٍ وَعَطَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أُخْتِي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ «أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُخْتِكِ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ؟ » قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَحَقُّ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ»

رجال هذا الإسناد رجال الصحيح إلا أن فيه اختلافا كثيرا في إسناده وقد تفرد أبو خالد سليمان بن حيان الأحمر بهذا السياق وخالف فيه الحفاظ من أصحاب الأعمش
machine translationThe men of this chain are the men of the Ṣaḥīḥ, except that there is much disagreement about its chain, and Abū Khālid Sulaymān b. Ḥayyān al-Aḥmar was alone in transmitting it with this wording, and in it he differed from the memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) among the students of al-Aʿmash.
in صحيح ابن حبان, p. 3535 - Zarqānī
قد أعل حديث ابن عباس بالاضطراب ففي رواية أن السائل امرأة أن أمها ماتت وعليها صوم شهر وفي أخرى وعليها خمسة عشر يوما وأخرى أن أختي ماتت وعليها صوم شهرين متتابعين وأخرى قال رجل ماتت أمي وعليها صوم شهر ولكن أجيب بأنه ليس اضطرابا وإنما هو اختلاف يحمل على اختلاف الوقائع لكنه بعيد لاتحاد المخرج فالروايات كلها عن ابن عباس
machine translationThe ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās has been faulted for inconsistency (iḍṭirāb). In one narration the questioner is a woman whose mother died owing a month of fasting; in another, she owed fifteen days; in another, "my sister died owing two consecutive months of fasting"; and in another, a man said, "My mother died owing a month of fasting." But it is answered that this is not inconsistency, but rather a difference to be understood as reflecting different incidents. Yet this is unlikely, because the source of transmission is one, since all the narrations are from Ibn ʿAbbās.
in صحيح ابن حبان, p. 3535 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
هذا الحديث ليس ذلك الحديث وأن الرجل المذكور فيه ليس سعد بن عبادة والله أعلم على أن هذا الحديث مضطرب وقد كان ابن عباس يفتي بخلافه فدل على أنه غير صحيح عنه
machine translationThis ḥadīth is not that ḥadīth, and the man mentioned in it is not Saʿd b. ʿUbādah, and God knows best. Moreover, this ḥadīth is inconsistent (muḍṭarib), and Ibn ʿAbbās used to give a legal opinion contrary to it, which indicates that it is not authentic from him.
