Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4277 — The Battle of the Confederates

قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : ثَنَا رَوْحٌ هُوَ ابْنُ عُبَادَةَ ، ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ لَيْلَةَ الْأَحْزَابِ الزُّبَيْرَ وَرَجُلًا آخَرَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ قَمِرَةٍ فَنَظَرَا ، ثُمَّ جَاءَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مِرْطٍ لِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، فَأَدْخَلَهُمَا فِي الْمِرْطِ ، وَلَزِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ .
قُلْتُ : هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ صَحِيحُ السَّنَدِ ، ذُكِرَ فِيهِ نَظَرٌ .
It is narrated from Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him), in mursal form: "On the night of the Battle of the Confederates (al-Ahzab), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and another man out on a moonlit night (to spy on the enemy). The two of them went, observed the situation and then came back. At that time the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was wrapped in a woollen sheet (mirt) belonging to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) took the two of them in with him under that same sheet, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was close against the side of Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her)."
I (Ibn Hajar) say: This narration is mursal but its chain is sahih (authentic), and there is (in some respects) reservation or criticism about it.
