قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ

أُمَيْمَةَ بِنْتَ رُقَيْقَةَ، تَقُولُ : بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نِسْوَةٍ ، فَقَالَ لَنَا : " فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُنَّ وَأَطَقْتُنَّ " ، قُلْتُ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَرْحَمُ بِنَا مِنَّا بِأَنْفُسِنَا ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، بَايِعْنَا ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : تَعْنِي : صَافِحْنَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّمَا قَوْلِي لِمِائَةِ امْرَأَةٍ كَقَوْلِي لِامْرَأَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ " ، قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، وَأَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، وَرَوَى
سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ،
وَمَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، عَنْ
مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، نَحْوَهُ ، قَالَ : وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، فَقَالَ : لَا أَعْرِفُ لِأُمَيْمَةَ بِنْتِ رُقَيْقَةَ غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، وَأُمَيْمَةُ امْرَأَةٌ أُخْرَى لَهَا حَدِيثٌ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Umaymah bint Ruqayqah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: "I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) along with several women. He said to us: 'Obedience is required in that which you are able to do and have the strength for.' I said: Allah and His Messenger are more merciful to us than we are to ourselves. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Take our pledge (Sufyan bin ‘Uyaynah says: She meant, shake hands with us). The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'My statement to one woman is the same as my statement to a hundred women.'"
Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is Hasan Sahih. We know it only from the narration of Muhammad bin Munkadir. Sufyan Thawri, Malik bin Anas, and several others have narrated a similar hadith from Muhammad bin Munkadir.
2- I asked Muhammad bin Isma'il al-Bukhari about this hadith, and he said: I do not know any other hadith from Umaymah bint Ruqayqah besides this one.
3- There is another woman named Umaymah from whom a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has been reported.
4- In this chapter, there are also ahadith from Aisha, Abdullah bin Umar, and Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with them).
