She said, "Messenger of Allah, give me permission to go out with such-and-such army."He said, "No."She said, "Prophet of Allah, I do not seek to fight. I only wish to tend to the wounded and the sick."He replied, "Were it not that it would become a precedent, with people saying, 'So-and-so went out,' I would have given you permission."
يا رسول الله ائذن لي أن أخرج مع جيش كذا وكذا قال: لا، قالت: يا نبي الله، إني لا أريد القتال، إنما أريد أن أداوي الجريح والمريض فقال: لولا أن تكون سنة يقال: خرجت فلانة لأذنت لك.

Tabarani related it in Al-Awsat, Majma Bahrayn (2664), from Abdullah bin Zaydan Bajali, who narrated from Muhammad bin Tarif Bajali, who narrated from Humayd bin Abdul-Rahman Ruasi, from Hasan bin Salih, from Aswad bin Qays, who said, Saeed bin Amr Qurashi narrated to me, from Umm Kabsha, a woman from Bani Udhra, who said, and then he mentioned it.Its chain is hasan because of Muhammad bin Tarif Bajali, for his hadith is hasan. Haythami mentioned it in Al-Majma (5/323–324) and said, "Its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih."Ibn Abu Shayba related it in Al-Musannaf (34341), from Humayd bin Abdul-Rahman, from Hasan (that is, Ibn Salih), from Aswad bin Qays, who said, Saeed bin Amr Qurashi narrated to me, that Umm Kabsha, a woman from Bani Udhra, said, and mentioned the hadith. He added at the end, "But sit down." Its apparent form is a mursal narration.Ibn Abu Asim related it likewise from Ibn Abu Shayba in Al-Ahad wal-Mathani (3473), and Tabarani in Al-Kabir (25/176).But Ibn Saad related it from him in Al-Tabaqat (8/308), where he said in it, "from Saeed bin Amr, from Umm Kabsha," and added at the end, "Sit down, so that people will not say that Muhammad campaigns with a woman."I fear that "from" may be a corruption of "that," because the senior companions of Ibn Abu Shayba narrated it in this form, that Umm Kabsha said, meaning its apparent form is a mursal narration.
