Hadith 121
Purification (Kitab Al-Taharah)
'Ikrimah said:
Umm Habibah had a prolonged flow of blood ; her husband used to cohabit with her. Abu Dawud said: Yahya b. Ma'in has pronounced Mu'alla (a narrator of this tradition) as trustworthy. But Ahmad b. Hanbal would not report (traditions) from him because he exercised personal opinion.
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ كَانَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ تُسْتَحَاضُ فَكَانَ زَوْجُهَا يَغْشَاهَا . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ مُعَلَّى ثِقَةٌ . وَكَانَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ لاَ يَرْوِي عَنْهُ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْظُرُ فِي الرَّأْىِ .
