Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates this statement of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "No woman should travel even the distance of a barid without a mahram." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Suhail bin Abi Salih heard this hadith from his father on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, and he also heard this narration from Sa'id Maqburi on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him. So both of its chains are preserved.
