Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The statement of Imam al-Nasa'i rahimahullah means that the aforementioned narration with the chain: from al-Zuhri, from Busar ibn Sa'id, from Zaynab al-Thaqafiyyah is not correct. Rather, the authentic narration is with this chain: from Bukayr, from Busar ibn Sa'id, from Zaynab al-Thaqafiyyah, because the hadith scholars (huffaz muhaddithin) rahimahumullah have narrated this hadith in this manner (with the chain of Bukayr). The one who narrates it with the chain of al-Zuhri is Sa'id, and he is a weak narrator.
