Traditional grade: Shadh, Hasan How we grade
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ زَادَ فِيهِ قَالَ " فَإِنْ بَكَتْ أَوْ سَكَتَتْ " . زَادَ " بَكَتْ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَلَيْسَ " بَكَتْ " . بِمَحْفُوظٍ وَهُوَ وَهَمٌ فِي الْحَدِيثِ الْوَهَمُ مِنِ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ أَوْ مِنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَلاَءِ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَمْرٍو ذَكْوَانُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْبِكْرَ تَسْتَحِي أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ . قَالَ " سُكَاتُهَا إِقْرَارُهَا " .
The word “weeps” is not guarded. This is a misunderstanding of the tradition on the part of the narrator Ibn Idris or Muhammad b. al-‘Ata.
Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated by Abu ‘Amr Dhakwan on the authority of ‘Aishah who said: A virgin is ashamed of speaking, Messenger of Allah. He said: Her silence is her acceptance.
Hadith Grading
