72 - Chapter on the widow going out during the day

3550 - ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Muḥammad informed us, saying: Makhlad narrated to us, saying: Ibn Jurayj narrated to us, from Abū al-Zubayr, from Jābir, who said: His maternal aunt was divorced, and she wanted to go out to some palm trees of hers. She met a man who forbade her from doing so. She came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said: "Go out and tend your palm trees; perhaps you may give in charity and do good."

============================================
Its hadith is good (ḥasan), and it has been corroborated. ʿAmmār ibn Ruzayq — even though he heard from Abū Isḥāq al-Sabīʿī after his memory became confused — is a corroborating narrator, and Muslim included this hadith on his authority. Al-Shaʿbī is ʿĀmir ibn Sharāḥīl. It is in *al-Sunan al-Kubrā* under number (5712).

It was also recorded by Aḥmad (27346) and Muslim (1480): (45) via Yaḥyā ibn Ādam, and by Muslim also (1480): (46) via Abū Aḥmad al-Zubayrī, both from ʿAmmār ibn Ruzayq, with this chain of transmission. In the narration of Yaḥyā ibn Ādam, there is no report of al-Aswad's objection to al-Shaʿbī.

In the narration of Abū Aḥmad al-Zubayrī: Abū Isḥāq said: I was sitting with al-Aswad ibn Yazīd in the Great Mosque, and al-Shaʿbī was with us. Al-Shaʿbī narrated the hadith of Fāṭimah bint Qays that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did not grant her lodging or maintenance. Then al-Aswad took a handful of pebbles and threw them at him...

It was also recorded by Abū Dāwūd (2291) in abbreviated form, mentioning only al-Aswad's statement, via Abū Aḥmad al-Zubayrī, from ʿAmmār ibn Ruzayq, from Abū Isḥāq, from al-Aswad, from ʿUmar, without mentioning al-Shaʿbī.

In the narration of Abū Aḥmad al-Zubayrī, there is an addition to ʿUmar's statement: "and the Sunnah of our Prophet." Al-Dāraquṭnī said in *al-ʿIlal* 1/176: This wording that is mentioned is not preserved. End quote. However, al-ʿAynī mentioned in *Nukhab al-Afkār* 11/113 that it is an addition from a trustworthy narrator.

Muslim also recorded it following (1480): (46) via Sulaymān ibn Muʿādh al-Naḥwī, from Abū Isḥāq, with it, but he did not cite its wording, and said: Similar to the hadith of Abū Aḥmad [meaning al-Zubayrī] from ʿAmmār ibn Ruzayq, with its story.

The report of Fāṭimah bint Qays has already preceded in full via al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbayd Allāh ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUtbah, from Fāṭimah, under number (3222), and the rest of its narrations are to be consulted there, as are the hadiths preceding it.

(1) In (M): "fajuddī" (tend).
(2) A sound (ṣaḥīḥ) hadith. ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd ibn Muḥammad is al-Ḥarrānī, and Makhlad is ibn Yazīd al-Ḥarrānī.
