لاَ يُجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَعَمَّتِهَا وَلاَ بَيْنَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَخَالَتِهَا

- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
هذا حديث صحيح ثابت مجتمع على صحته
in موطأ مالك, p. 1055 - Shafiʿī
هذا الحديث لم يرو من وجه يثبته أهل الحديث إلا عن أبي هريرة وروى من وجوه لا يثبتها أهل العلم بالحديث
machine translationThis hadith was not narrated through any route that the hadith scholars regard as established, except from Abū Hurayrah. It was also narrated through other routes which the scholars of hadith do not regard as established.
in موطأ مالك, p. 1055 - Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī
جاء من حديث علي وابن مسعود وابن عمر وابن عباس وعبد الله بن عمرو وأنس وأبي سعيد وعائشة وليس فيها شيء على شرط الصحيح وإنما اتفقا على إثبات حديث أبي هريرة
machine translationIt has come down in the hadith of ʿAlī, Ibn Masʿūd, Ibn ʿUmar, Ibn ʿAbbās, ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr, Anas, Abū Saʿīd and ʿĀʾishah, but none of these meets the criterion of the Ṣaḥīḥ (the two Ṣaḥīḥs). The two (al-Bukhārī and Muslim) agreed only on including the hadith of Abū Hurayrah.
