Azami 10433

Malik narrated it in Janaiz (2), from Ayub bin Abu Tamima Sakhtiyani, from Muhammad bin Sirin, from Umm Atiya Ansariya, mentioning it as stated. Bukhari narrated it in Janaiz (1253) from Ismail bin Abdullah, and Muslim in Janaiz (83/939) from Qutayba bin Saeed, both from Malik bin Anas with the same wording. Muslim also narrated it (40/939) through Hafsa bint Sirin, from Umm Atiya, who said, "When Zaynab, daughter of the Messenger of Allah , died..."It has been narrated from Ayesha that when the Messenger of Allah arrived in Madinah, his daughter Zaynab set out from Makkah with Kinana, or the son of Kinana. They set out after her, and Habbar bin Aswad caught up with her and kept striking her camel with his spear until he brought her down. She lost what was in her womb and bled heavily. She was then carried away, and Banu Hashim and Banu Umaya disputed over her. Banu Umaya said, "We have more right to her," since she had been married to their son, Abu As, and she was staying with Hind bint Utba bin Rabia, who kept telling her, "This happened because of your father."The Messenger of Allah said to Zayd bin Haritha, "Will you go and bring Zaynab back?" He said, "Of course, Messenger of Allah." He said, "Take my ring and give it to her." Zayd set off, proceeding carefully, until he met a shepherd and asked him, "Whose flock are you tending?" The shepherd said, "Abu As's." Zayd asked, "Whose sheep are these?" He said, "Zaynab bint Muhammad's." Zayd walked along with him a while, then said, "Would you be willing, if I gave you something, to hand it to her without mentioning it to anyone?" He said, "Yes." So Zayd gave him the ring, and the shepherd went on his way. He brought his sheep in and gave her the ring. She recognized it and asked, "Who gave you this?" He said, "A man." She asked, "Where did you leave him?" He said, "At such and such a place." She said nothing until night came, then went out to him. When she reached him, he said to her, "Ride in front of me on the camel." She said, "No, you ride in front of me." So he rode, and she rode behind him, until they reached Madinah.The Messenger of Allah used to say, "She is the best of my daughters, for what she suffered on my account."This report reached Ali bin Husayn, Zayn Abideen, so he went to Urwa and said, "What is this hadith I have heard you narrating, in which you diminish Fatimah's standing?" Urwa said, "By Allah, I would not want to possess everything between the east and the west in exchange for this, and I would not diminish a right that belongs to Fatimah. But going forward, you have my word that I will never narrate it again."Bazzar narrated it (134/18), Tabarani in Al-Kabir (431/22), and Hakim (43/4), all of them through Saeed bin Abu Maryam, from Yahya bin Ayub, from Yazid bin Abdullah bin Had, who said, "Umar bin Abdullah bin Urwa bin Zubayr told me, from Urwa bin Zubayr, from Ayesha," mentioning it as stated.Hakim said, "Sahih according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs, though they did not include it." Hafiz also graded it sahih in Mukhtasar Bazzar (2009). However, Dhahabi, commenting on Hakim in his Talkhis, said, "I say, this is a munkar report, and Yahya is not strong." This is indeed the case, for Yahya bin Ayub Ghafiqi Misri is a disputed narrator, and he alone added the munkar phrase found in the hadith, "Zaynab is the best of my daughters..." even though it is established in the sahih sources that Fatimah is the best.
