اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، لَمْ يَذْكُرْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَ : فَأَمَرَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ وَامْرَأَةٍ مِمَّنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِالْفَاحِشَةِ : حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، وَمِسْطَحِ بْنِ أُثَاثَةَ ، قَالَ النُّفَيْلِيُّ : وَيَقُولُونَ : الْمَرْأَةُ حَمْنَةُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ .
The tradition mentioned above (No. 4459) has also been transmitted by Muhammad ibn Ishaq through a different chain of narrators. But he did not mention Aishah. This version has: He (the Prophet) commanded regarding the two men and the woman who spoke obscenity were Hassan ibn Thabit and Mistah ibn Uthathah. An-Nufayl said: It is said that the woman was Hammah daughter of Jahsh.
