• ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ كَانَ اسْمُهَا بَرَّةَ فَقِيلَ تُزَكِّي نَفْسَهَا فَسَمَّاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَيْنَبَ وَلَفْظُ الْحَدِيثِ لِهَؤُلاَءِ دُونَ ابْنِ بَشَّارٍ وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ

  machine translation(Switching to another chain:) And ʿUbaydullāh b. Muʿādh narrated to us: my father narrated to us: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from ʿAṭāʾ b. Abī Maymūnah, from Abū Rāfiʿ, from Abū Hurayrah: that Zaynab's name was Barrah, so it was said, "She purifies herself." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ named her Zaynab. The wording of the hadith belongs to these narrators, not to Ibn Bashshār. And Ibn Abī Shaybah said: Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar narrated to us, from Shuʿbah. Report a problem
