Abdullah (bin Masud) reported the prophet ﷺ as saying; it is more excellent for a woman to pray in her house than in her courtyard, and more excellent for her to pray in her private chamber than in her house.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Umm Salamah from the Prophet ﷺ through a different chain of narrators. The tradition of Muadh is more perfect.

Narrated Abu Umayyah al-Makhzumi: A thief who had accepted (having committed theft) was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, but no good were found with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said to him: I do not think you have stolen. He said: Yes, I have. He repeated it twice or thrice. So he gave orders. His hand was cut off and he was then brought to him. He said: Ask Allah's pardon and turn to Him in repentance. He said: I ask Allah's pardon and turn to Him in repentance. He (the Prophet) then said: O Allah, accept his repentance. Abu Dawud said: It has been transmitted by Amr bin Asim, from Hammam, from Ishaq bin Abdullah from Abu Ummayyah, a man of the Ansar from the Prophet ﷺ.
