Hannād ibn al-Sarī, Zuhayr ibn Ḥarb, and ʿUthmān ibn Abī Shayba narrated to us — all of them from ʿAbda. Zuhayr said: ʿAbda ibn Sulaymān narrated to us — from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Qāsim, from his father, from ʿĀʾisha, may God be pleased with her, who said: Asmāʾ bint ʿUmays gave birth to Muḥammad ibn Abī Bakr at al-Shajara. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded Abū Bakr to tell her to perform the major ablution (ghusl) and to enter into the state of iḥrām.
