حَدَّثَنَا
مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا
عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ :عَنْ
أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَتُصَلِّي الْمَرْأَةُ فِي دِرْعٍ وَخِمَارٍ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ ؟ قَالَ : إِذَا كَانَ الدِّرْعُ سَابِغًا يُغَطِّي ظُهُورَ قَدَمَيْهَا " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، وَبَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ ، وَحَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، وَابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَصَرُوا بِهِ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا .
Umm Salamah said that she asked the prophet ﷺ; Can a woman pray in a shirt and veil without wearing a lower garment? He replied: if the shirt is ample and covers the surface of her feet. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Malik bin Anas, Bakr bin Mudar, Hafs bin Ghiyaht, Ismail bin Jafar, Ibn Abu Dhi'b, and Ibn Ishaq from Muhammad bin Zaid on the authority of his mother who narrated from Umm Salamah. None of these narrators mention the name of the Prophet ﷺ. They reported it directly from Umm Salamah.
